Body Contouring Services include:

Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift restores contour to the lower midsection of the body. Most body lift procedures combine abdominoplasty with a lift to the outer thighs and buttocks. The lower body lift removes skin and excess fat above and below the umbilicus along with the tightening of the abdominal muscles to reshape and contour the body. Where once there was sagging skin on your abdomen, lower back, waist, thighs and buttocks you will find more toned and defined contours. Ultimately the final result will provide a more natural looking, balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. All patient evaluations and procedures are based on each patients individual needs.

CosMed's qualified and board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons can achieve amazing results with lower body lift procedures for after weight loss patients using the most advanced and modern techniques achieving dramatic results. (Back to Top)

Upper Body Lift
Skin that is loose and hanging in the upper body area is of great concern. Whether male or female an upper body lift is a procedure to remove excess skin and restore contour to the upper back around to the sides of the chest and underarm areas. The incision for this procedure is made in the natural crease at the base of the breasts and extends onto each side and may extend across the back. An upper body lift can involve a number of procedures. Your CosMed surgeon will evaluate and decide on the right procedures for your specific needs to restore a more slender and youthful appearance.

Buttock Implants
Sometimes diet and exercise do not warrant your desired results. Buttocks implants may provide a solution to those who desire enlarged or more defined behind. CosMed provides our patients with a wide variety of implants in various shapes and sizes; in soft silicone with a naturally firm look and feel. This procedure generally takes about two hours, under general anesthesia, and in conjunction with liposuction for dramatic results. (Back to Top)

Buttocks Lift
This surgical procedure improves the shape of your behind by getting rid of sagging skin and improving skin tone. With body lift patients this procedure is done at the same time. Once the sagging skin has been trimmed and tightened, the contour will be shapelier and smoother.

Buttocks Augmentation
Many weight loss patients have little or no volume in the buttocks. To enhance the contour and have greater fullness we do a procedure called fat grafting or fat transfer. Fat is removed by liposuction from elsewhere in your body, appropriately prepared and then injected into your buttocks, creating fuller and shapelier buttocks. This procedure is very often done along with your body lift.(Back to Top)

Breast Lift
After weight loss, pregnancy and with age many women find their breasts have changed in undesirable ways, loosing fullness and shape. When breasts lose volume they droop and sag making you feel self-conscious about the way your breast have transformed. A breast lift involves lifting and reshaping primarily by removing excess skin. Several techniques can be used to perform a breast lift. Your surgeon will determine the best type of breast lift for you depending on the degree of sagging, your breast size and the location and size of the nipple and areola. (Back to Top)

Breast Lift and Augmentation
You may want to combine a lift with augmentation to give you the volume and fullness you would like to achieve. Breast augmentation is a procedure that increases the size of your breasts by placing implants into the breasts. At CosMed we offer you a choice of saline or silicone implants. As with all of our procedures your surgeon will determine with you the best procedure for your needs. This combined procedure produces more balance in overall body proportions and more attractive and youthful silhouette. (Back to Top)

Breast reduction provides relief and enhances your overall appearance by making your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body. (Back to Top)

Arm Lift/Brachioplasty
The effects of weight loss, aging and gravity all take their toll on the skin leaving the inner arms with loose and sagging skin. An Arm lift/Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that redefines the contour of your arms from the elbow to the underarm. The inner arm skin is similar to that of the inner thighs, thin, delicate and looser than other areas of your body. Arm Lift/Brachioplasty is sometimes done is two procedures used in conjunction with liposuction to produce optimum results. (Back to Top)

Inner Thigh Lift
After extreme weight loss sagging skin from the inner thighs may prevent your clothes from fitting properly making you feel uncomfortable and also can cause unhealthy constant irritations and even infections. The thigh lift is a surgical procedure in which the sagging skin in the area is trimmed and tightened. Inner thigh surgery is particularly challenging for a number of reasons. The skin and underlying tissues are thinner, more delicate and looser than the tissue of most other areas of your body. This weaker tissue quality makes it more of a challenge to obtain good and long lasting results. Sometimes needing a touch up or revision, our doctors do not charge a patient for revisions. Your CosMed surgeon will discuss with you the exact type of inner thigh lift surgery that is right for you. This is another dramatic surgery, resulting in smaller and firmer thighs balancing to give your body better proportion. (Back to Top)

A face lift will smoothe loose skin, tighten underlying muscles and remove excess fat from the face and neck. CosMed's doctor's are specialists in giving you a more youthful and refreshed natural appearance. (Back to Top)
