The Body
Sometimes, our bodies just do not respond to diet and exercise. Cosmetic surgery to improve shape and body contour benefits an increasing number of patients every year.
Body
Many women in the prime of life have had children and lost all tone in the abdomen, and despite hours at the gym can’t get a flat abdomen back. Other body contouring patients have never had the shape they want because of excess fatty deposits on their flanks, thighs or abdomen. Others have achieved a significant weight loss resulting in loose, redundant skin that no exercise program will help. Dr. Collins can provide comprehensive consultation to explore if surgery will help to achieve your goals.
Liposuction
Body
Liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat that has not responded to diet and exercise from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles.

Arm Lift
After substantial weight loss, weight gain or simply from the effects of aging, skin on the upper arms can become inelastic, loose and flabby. Arm lifts, also known as brachioplasty, remove that excess skin and fat. Patients who have significant amounts of fat may want to consider combining the procedure with liposuction.

Body Lift
Also called belt lipectomy, the circumferential body lift is performed to remove excess skin from the torso and upper buttock area. A body lift tightens and smoothes the abdomen, back, buttocks, hips and thighs. It offers an improvement in appearance for patients who suffer from loose (inelastic) skin on many or most areas of the body as a result of age, childbearing or significant weight loss.

Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper legs. Candidates typically suffer from loose, inelastic skin after extreme weight loss. In a medial thigh lift (inner thigh lift), the surgical incision is made in the inner thigh along the line where the leg meets the groin. In a lateral thigh lift (outer thigh lift), the incision is made from the groin around the back of the body, so that the buttocks are lifted along with the thigh.
