San Francisco Body Contouring Options

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 more information on body contouring procedures or
