Read MoreBreast Augmentation
Also known as breast enlargement, is intended to improve the appearance of the breast by adding volume in the form of either silicone or saline filled implants. Although this is one of the most common plastic surgical procedures performed, a number of important options should be considered, and a plan tailored to the unique characteristics of each patient should be formulated.
Read MoreBreast Lift With Augmentation
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is intended to improve the appearance of the breast by raising the nipple areolar complex and tightening the entire breast skin envelope. The specific details of the technique are determined by the degree of lift required and the need for additional volume.

Read MoreArm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is intended to improve the appearance of the back side of the upper arms. Excess skin and fat in these areas can often be effectively treated with some form of lipoplasty, but in severe cases, is still best approached by surgical excision. Find out what is best for you by consulting with a surgeon that has training and experience with both techniques.
Read MoreButtock Lift
Buttock lift is intended to improve the appearance of the posterior area between the lower back and the upper thigh crease. Energy assisted lipoplasty can produce significant benefit and is considered less invasive. However, cases of severe skin and fat excess are still best treated with buttock lift, which is surgical excision.
Read MoreFat Grafting
Free fat grafting is intended to improve the appearance of many different areas of the body that lack subcutaneous tissue fullness. Although fat grafting has become very popular in the last several years for various breast and facial applications, it has been generally performed for decades with recognized success.
Read MoreLipoplasty
Lipoplasty is a term that, for the most part, has replaced Liposuction. It involves the addition of an energy source to the fat removal process. Currently, a laser fiber delivers fat-specific light energy transforming the fat to a liquid that is then aspirated, along with some intact fat, with a traditional cannula.
Read MoreLiposuction in Birmingham, AL
Liposuction is a procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from various sites throughout the body. The process has progressed from the use of very large cannulas to very small, from suction alone to energy assisted technology, and from “dry” to tumescent technique. The best candidates for liposuction are patients in whom reasonable diet and exercise have failed to achieve the desired results.

Read MoreThigh Lift
Thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is intended to improve the appearance of the area between the knees and the hips. Loose skin, excess fat, dimpling, and undesirable contour irregularities may all be addressed with this surgical technique.
Read MoreTummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A Tummy Tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is intended to improve the appearance of the abdomen. Weight fluctuations and pregnancies can result in excess skin and fat, the presence of stretch marks and scars, and separation of the midline muscles that results in bulging. In these patients, the skin issue is so excessive that lipoplasty will not produce the desired results.
Read MoreMommy Makeover
Motherhood is beautiful and enormously rewarding, but pregnancies can take a toll on the body that no amount of diet or exercise can correct. A Mommy Makeover can restore the body to as close to its pre-pregnancy appearance as possible – or even improve upon it. A Mommy Makeover is actually a series of...

Read MoreEar Reduction Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear shape correction, also known as Otoplasty or ear surgery, is intended to improve the appearance of ears that protrude further from the head than desired.

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is designed to change the form of the nose. The appearance of the nose can be affected by genetic predisposition, trauma, or developmental abnormalities. The most common reasons to have a rhinoplasty are to reduce the “hump” on the bridge, to narrow the bridge, and to refine a “boxy” tip.
