Warmer weather is on the horizon, which means it’s time to consider the body you’d like to be showing off this spring and summer. At Burgess Plastic Surgery, we offer surgical and non-surgical solutions to help you tighten and tone your body. The following body contouring procedures can complement your healthy habits, giving you the figure you deserve.
1. Tummy Tuck
If you have excess fat and loose skin in your abdomen, a tummy tuck can help you achieve a more toned midsection. Following pregnancy and weight loss, a tummy tuck is used to strengthen the abdominal wall muscles. It’s also used to remove excess fat in the stomach that’s resistant to diet and exercise.
We offer two different tummy tuck procedures:
- Mini tummy tuck: A mini tummy tuck tightens and lifts skin below the belly button. If you’re looking to target a lower-belly pooch and want to look better in swimsuits and fitted clothing, a mini tummy tuck is a great option.
- Full tummy tuck: A standard or full tummy tuck can reduce roundness and loose skin both above and below your belly button. It flattens the entire midsection while strengthening your abdominal wall muscles.
2. Liposuction
Liposuction removes your stubborn fat deposits for a more defined silhouette. Common treatment areas for liposuction include:
- Belly and hips
- Thighs and buttocks
- Back and arms
- Face and neck
Liposuction can be used in conjunction with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck, or as a standalone treatment. When used with other procedures, liposuction further shapes your body for augmented results.
3. CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that eliminates pockets of fat by permanently freezing away your fat cells. It can remove bulges in the following areas:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Inner, outer and distal thighs
- Under the chin
- Upper arms and back
- Underneath the buttocks
With zero downtime, CoolSculpting is a quick and effective way to sculpt your body. If you’re looking for a spot reduction treatment, CoolSculpting is a simple solution that provides lasting results.
Dr. Burgess and our team have performed more than 1,000 CoolSculpting treatments. They are also graduates of CoolSculpting University, which offers a specialized CoolSculpting program for plastic surgeons and other practitioners.
4. Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can enhance the size and shape of your breasts for a fuller chest and improved body symmetry. Whether you want a more proportional figure or larger, more voluminous breasts, the procedure can help you feel more feminine and confident in your appearance.
We use both silicone and saline implants at our office. Dr. Burgess can advise you on which implant option, as well as what breast size, is best for your body, lifestyle and aesthetic goals. If you’re looking to achieve a perkier chest as well, she may recommend a breast augmentation with a lift.
