For Your Body

Surgical  body contouring can dramatically restore a balanced look to the body by creating tighter tummies or abdomens, and trimmer, slimmer buttocks, hips and thighs. Liposuction is the art of removing fat from localized areas of the body. This technique is used to contour the legs, buttocks, abdomen, back, arms, face and neck.  

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, tightens muscles and removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area leaving patients with flatter, tighter tummies and abdomens.

Autologous Fat Transfer
Body sculpting uses autologous fat transfer techniques to move the body's excess fat from one area to another that may be better suited for it. Excess fat from hips and thighs may be used to round out a misshaped derriere or add fullness to facial features. Fat transfer is safe, natural, and non-allergenic. 

Body Lift   
We provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to massive weight loss patients.  Losing weight may not always be the final step in your weight loss journey.  Major weight loss is often accompanied by extra folds of skin that can make you feel physically uncomfortable or self-conscious. Dr. Vu has the training to offer state-of-the-art total body lift procedures specifically developed for weight loss patients.  We can evaluate your personal goals, then discuss the range of options best suited to your needs.

Liposuction
Liposuction uses a specialized instrument, or micro cannula, to make tiny incisions from which localized collections of fatty tissue can be gently removed.  For most patients, tumescent liposuction can be used.  For other patients, liposuction using ultrasound to "melt" the fat cells as the cannula comes in contact with them may be the preferred method.  Both procedures produce superior results; however, in special situations, the ultrasound technique may offer better results.  Dr. Vu uses a saline mixture with both procedures to ensure smooth, well-contoured changes.

Thigh, Hip and Buttock Lift
This surgery is designed to tighten the skin of the outer thighs, buttocks and hips that has become loose and flabby as a result of massive weight loss, natural aging or heredity. The procedure removes skin and underlying fat from the buttock area and reconstructs or "lifts" it to achieve a tighter, more toned look.

Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) improves the waistline by tightening the abdominal muscles. It can also be used to remove or improve the appearance of stretch marks. The tummy tuck is especially suited for men and women who have excess skin concentrated in the abdominal area, but who are otherwise of relative normal weight. For some patients, a "mini" tummy tuck which uses tiny incisions to create powerful change will be all that is necessary to achieve a flatter, tighter tummy and abdomen.
