TYPES OF Body lifts

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area and, in some cases, repairs weakened or separated muscles. This results in a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.

Breast Lift

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that helps improve the appearance
of sagging breasts. Breast sagging, medically referred to as breast ptosis (TOE-sis), commonly occurs due to larger breasts, aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations.

Thigh Lift

Fluctuations in weight, growing older, and genetics can cause your legs to have a drooping, sagging appearance. Exercise may strengthen and improve the underlying muscle tone of the thighs and hips, but it cannot address excess skin that has lost elasticity or underlying weakened tissues and localized fat deposits.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that
removes unwanted fat (adipose tissue). This allows patients to achieve a more sculpted and toned physique. Also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, it is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery that can effectively reduce excess fat.

TESTIMONIALS

Dr Alexander is amazing and caring, has a wonderful “bedside” manner and actually called and text messaged me after my surgery! The staff are trained professionals and are quick to answer calls and questions no matter what time of day! Cynthia was an absolute blessing through this whole experience. I live in Florida and flew out to San Diego to have laser on my face and chest along with an upper/lower Bleph, neck/face lift and earlobe reduction. He was recommended to me by friends and I’m so grateful that they encouraged me to see him. Dr Alexander is an artist and made me look 10-15 years younger without making me look like I had anything done. I look so natural that my closest friends couldn’t tell that I had work done….they said I look “rested” and happy🙂

First I had a Halo laser to my face neck and chest. The people were so experienced and knowledgeable. Very calming procedure. And NO PAIN!!! The staff is exceptional. I could tell they were really trying to help me with my concerns. I highly recommend the Halo laser. So effective and really no pain and very short down time.

BREAST & BODY FAQS

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

The ideal candidate for a breast and body lift is in good overall health, has realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure, and is a non-smoker. If you are considering a breast lift, schedule a consultation at our San Diego practice to learn more about the benefits of this procedure and whether it can help you achieve your desired results.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY?

After the procedure, patients will need to allow time for recovery. It is essential to follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. To minimize swelling, patients are advised to rest in an elevated position, avoid heat exposure, stay hydrated, and wear compression garments for the first few weeks after the procedure. Bruising can be managed with prescribed medications and topical treatments.

WHY DO I NEED A CONSULTATION?

A thorough evaluation by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in deep-plane and SMAS techniques is essential so that you can get a good understanding of the best options available to achieve a natural body rejuvenation. Diagrams, discussion, and computer imaging are all tools to help you understand the simple and predictable methods available to restore your youthful body.
