Body, Karen E. Wells, MD FACSLiposuction

Inherited traits often prevent people from achieving their desired body shape. Even years of exercise may not yield significant or noticeable results in certain people. For many, the answer is liposuction, a surgical procedure which extracts fat from specific areas of the body. Following the procedure, patients can expect a slimmer, more shapely figure.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that extracts surplus fat and tissue from the abdominal region. It is especially helpful for men who retain excess weight in their mid- sections and in women who have undergone multiple pregnancies. Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect a flatter, more contoured, and visually satisfying stomach.

Collagen

When we are young, our skin is soft and elastic, free from the facial lines and tissue damage that time, injury, and disease can cause. This youthful looking skin is due, in a large part, to collagen, the fibrous protein that forms the underlying support layer beneath the skin. Over time, the skin’s network of collagen begins to weaken, causing the skin to lose its elasticity. Collagen injections have been used for decades to replenish the skin’s suppleness and help maintain its youthful appearance. Collagen Replacement Therapy is a safe, nonsurgical treatment that can even out facial lines and scars, as well as improve the look of specific parts of the body.
