An abdominoplasty, aka a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that can help tighten, tone, and flatten the contours and skin, muscles, and fat on the stomach. This is an excellent option for patients who have excess skin and fat and also laxity and loss of muscle tone due to pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or bariatric surgery. It can improve skin laxity and reduce wrinkles, sagging, dimpling, and other imperfections in the abdomen.

CoolSculpting significantly reduces fat non-surgically with skin collapsing and contracting around the fat that is removed with non-invasive CoolSculpting treatments. This procedure uses precise cooling technology to freeze the targeted fat cells and eliminate them from the body. It is part of the Allergan family of Cool- treatments.

Body contouring is often about improving definition and volume in certain areas while slimming down others. A fat transfer or graft is an excellent, 2-in-1 approach because it uses donor fat from sites you’d like small amounts removed and injects it directly into the areas seeking improvement for a natural approach to enhancement.
