Body Procedures
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat. Dr. Tran combines her tummy tuck with liposuction to address both excess fat and skin laxity in the abdominal area. Lipoabdominoplasty is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking comprehensive contouring results, as it addresses both the reshaping of the abdominal muscles and the elimination of stubborn fat. This technique is often chosen by those who desire a more sculpted and defined waistline.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that involves altering the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips) of the vulva. The goal of labiaplasty is often to reduce the size or change the shape of the labia, addressing concerns related to appearance, discomfort, or functional issues. Women may choose this procedure for various reasons, including congenital conditions, discomfort during activities, or personal aesthetic preferences. Labiaplasty can be a sensitive and personal decision, and individuals considering this surgery should have a thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss their motivations, expectations, and potential risks associated with the procedure.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body. During the surgery, a thin tube called a cannula is used to suction out excess fat, providing a more contoured appearance. It’s essential to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a way to enhance body proportions. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment and avoiding strenuous activities initially.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by the injection of this fat into the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. The goal is to create a fuller and more lifted appearance, emphasizing a more sculpted and curvier silhouette. BBL has gained popularity for its ability to provide a natural-looking enhancement using a patient’s own fat.
Weight Loss Surgeries
Massive Weight Loss Surgeries also known as body contouring after weight loss or post-bariatric surgery, involves a series of procedures aimed at removing excess skin and reshaping the body after significant weight loss, often resulting from bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes. These procedures may include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), body lift, arm lift (brachioplasty), thigh lift, and breast lift or augmentation. The goal is to address sagging skin and improve overall body contour, providing individuals who have undergone substantial weight loss with a more proportionate and toned appearance. This type of surgery is typically performed in stages, considering the specific needs and goals of each patient.
Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty
A Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, also known as an extended abdominoplasty, is a variation of the traditional tummy tuck procedure designed to address excess skin and tissue not only horizontally but also vertically. This technique is often suitable for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, resulting in excess skin both above and below the belly button.
Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper arms. This condition is often a result of aging, weight loss, or genetics, leading to sagging or “batwing” appearance.
back lift
A back lift, also known as a bra line back lift or upper body lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at addressing excess skin and tissue on the upper and mid-back. This type of surgery is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or aging, resulting in sagging skin along the back.
lower body lift
A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy or circumferential body lift, is a comprehensive cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin and excess fat in the lower body. This typically includes the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and hips. This surgery is often sought by individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or other means.
thigh lift
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the contour of the thighs by addressing issues such as excess skin and fat. This surgery is often chosen by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors that contribute to sagging or loose skin in the thigh area.
Monsplasty
Monsplasty, also known as mons pubis reduction or pubic lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure focused on addressing excess skin and tissue in the mons pubis area, which is the mound of fatty tissue over the pubic bone. Changes in the mons pubis can occur due to factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, leading to sagging or fullness.
