Cosmetic plastic surgery has been the single-most successful alternative for men and women looking to make long-lasting to permanent cosmetic enhancements. A Board Certified  San Francisco Plastic Surgeon  may recommend alternative treatments to their patients before concluding that a plastic surgery procedure is right for their patient. These alternatives may be recommended for patients who have not tried other alternatives or if a plastic surgeon can see an alternative treatment generating results that a patient desires. Some patients consult their  San Francisco Plastic Surgeon  if they have already tried alternatives and have not been successful in receiving desired results. For example, some patients may have tried Botox, or other dermal fillers, to smooth facial fine lines and wrinkles but find that they would rather receive better, longer-lasting results with a facelift procedure.

For resident patients in  San Francisco Liposuction  procedures may provide the results they desire if they have already tried diet and exercise as a way to remove excess skin and fat from the body. Sometimes this excess is a result of problem areas that have not responded to diet and exercise and patient wish for the removal to take place with a Liposuction procedure. A Liposuction procedure is used for the removal of these fat deposits that create a disproportionate body contour which may make men and women feel uncomfortable about themselves. In 2009, according to statistics, Liposuction procedures were in the top 5 surgical cosmetic procedures performed for both men and women. Liposuction procedures are safe and effective and preferred by plastic surgeons as the procedure may be performed on almost any area of the body. This procedure has become a popular alternative for people who have lost a considerable amount of weight but still are unable to receive desired results because their body has reached a physical limit of the results it can produce. Liposuction then becomes an effective alternative.

For patients looking to receive a body contouring procedure that focuses on their midsection, a Tummy Tuck procedure may be recommended. For resident patients in  San Francisco Tummy Tuck , or Abdominoplasty, procedures are a top performed procedure as abdominal muscle tightening and liposuction is implemented during the procedure. In 2009, Tummy Tuck procedures were also in the top 5 surgical cosmetic procedures performed among both men and women. During a Tummy Tuck procedure, abdominal muscles are tightened while excess skin and fat is removed with Liposuction which makes the procedure a widely recommended alternative treatment for men and women looking to contour their midsection.

For many men and women, body image is a daily struggle to be successful in achieving desired physical results with diet, exercise, and beauty products. For those who are concerned with the shape of their body, diet, exercise, and weight loss products appeal to them for a number of reasons. Being healthy and staying in shape should be a priority for everyone, however, some still struggle. In San Francisco Plastic Surgeon  recommended plastic surgery has been a means to achieving physical desired results, and also staying healthy. For many of those that have lost a significant amount of weight, or who have "problem areas" (localized fat deposits), a plastic surgery procedure can help.

The liposuction procedure was developed and designed to remove excess skin and fat from the body leaving the treated area tightened and contoured. The procedure can be performed on almost any area of the body which is why it is plastic surgeon-recommended in most cases. In  San Francisco Liposuction  procedures are in the top 5 cosmetic surgery procedures of 2009, giving excellent results to patients that have received the procedure. The goal of the procedure is to give the patient a body contour that is slimmed, tightened, and proportionate overall.

For patients looking to contour their midsection, a  San Francisco Tummy Tuck  procedure aims to contour the abdominal area. A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a procedure that uses liposuction for the removal of excess skin and fat, and a muscle-tightening technique implemented by a  San Francisco Plastic Surgeon . With the abdominal muscle-tightening and liposuction together, the midsection is flattened and contoured, leaving the patient with results that could not have been attained with diet and exercise alone. A Tummy Tuck procedure may also be completed alongside other procedures such as the Liposuction of the flanks, back, or thighs, while the patient is receiving a Tummy Tuck. It is usually recommended by a plastic surgeon for the patient to receive the best overall figure with a body that is proportionate.
