Liposuction
Liposuction is a technique to remove unwanted deposits of fat from specific areas of the body, including the face and neck, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and the knees. This is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method for removing localized deposits of fatty tissue that do not respond to diet or exercise.
Removal of Skin Growths, Moles or Lesions
Removal of skin lesions and tumors is frequently performed by plastic surgeons. When certain skin lesions and skin growths will not disappear spontaneously, surgical removal is a treatment option. There are many different techniques for removing skin lesions and tumors. Your doctor will discuss the various procedures.
Scar Management

Spider Vein Removal
Spider veins are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs of women. Sclerotherapy is a procedure where a solution is injected into the vein through a very small needle. The solution causes the vein to turn white then gradually disappear.
Tummy Tuck/Mini Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall. Tummy tucks can be combined with other forms of body-contouring surgery such as liposuction.
A mini tummy tuck removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the lower abdomen and tightens muscles in the abdominal wall.
Tummy tucks are not a surgical treatments for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.
