Liposuction and Liposculpturing
Lipoplasty, also called liposuction, removes localized collections of fatty tissue to give you a smoother and slimmer body contour. For the best results, you should be of relatively normal weight with extra fat localized in specific areas such as the hips, buttocks and abdomen. Lipoplasty is also effective in removing fat deposits from the back, legs, arms, face and neck.

Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to give you a smoother, flatter abdomen. The procedure removes excel abdominal skin and may also reduce fat and tighten the muscles of your abdominal wall. It frequently is performed to correct the muscle weakness and loose skin that can occur following multiple pregnancies or significant weight loss.

Lower and Central Body Lift
Belt Lipectomy more commonly known as a "Body Lift" is a major surgical procedure to remove excess body skin and fatty tissue. In the area of the back and belly (the trunk), cases of mild excess maybe treated appropriately by procedures such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.

However, in more significant excess situations, especially where the excess is circumferential (circular) in nature involving the belly, hips, back, buttocks, and outer thighs, a more extensive procedure is required. This procedure is called "Belt Lipectomy", and is like a face-lift for the trunk.
