Body Procedures

This is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. Stubborn abdominal skin and fat can be removed in a single surgery while tightening the midsection. Dr. Panossian also incorporates liposuction with all tummy tucks to really shape and contour the torso.

The "Mommy Makeover" is the logical combination of abdominoplasty and breast enhancement. It is targeted for women who have undergone pregnancy and experienced the physiologic changes that go along with it. Stretched tissues are tightened and volume and shape are restored to the breasts.

Liposuction no longer involves simply sucking out fat. Over the years, it has evolved into an invaluable way to shape and contour the abdomen, buttocks, neck or any other part of the body. There is certainly an art to liposuction that cannot be denied.

The buttock area has gotten a lot of buzz in recent years. It has become one of the primary procedures in reshaping and enhancing the buttock region. One way is to insert an implant to accurately and permanently give a rounder shape to the buttocks. Alternatively, many people take advantage of liposuction, especially of the back and love handles and transfer it to the buttocks.

An upper arm lift is also known as a brachioplasty. It is most often requested by patients who have undergone a large amount of weight loss and are left with sagging skin that does not contract. An incision placed along the inner arm from the elbow to the armpit is used to remove and contour this troublesome area.
