Are you feeling unhappy with your looks? Do you think that your stomach is a little too big and your breasts aren't exactly how you'd like them to look like? Or are you thinking of getting a bigger derriere? Well, it's time you considered seeing the tummy tuck doctors in May field Heights, OH, to get a body overhaul.

Here's how they can help:

Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a surgical operation carried out to flatten the abdomen. This involves a surgical procedure for removing excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. This procedure tightens the abdominal muscles and removes stretch marks and other unsightly scars to enhance the shape of the belly. This procedure is usually carried out on:

•    Healthy people with extra fat around the belly area
•    Women who have had several pregnancies and want to look and feel better
•    People who have lost weight and still have excess fat or loose skin hanging around the abdominal area.

This procedure happens under anesthesia and takes about three hours. It involves the cosmetic surgeon removing excess belly fat by cutting it away, tightening the muscles, trimming the skin and applying sutures to close the incisions.

Most people assume cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are one and the same thing and use these two terms interchangeably. Nothing can be further from the truth. Although related, they are different disciplines.

Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery involves restoration and reconstruction of the human body; targeting deformities or injuries caused by trauma, congenital disabilities, burns, tumors or disease. This surgery is meant to correct defects on the face like cleft lips or traumatic injuries.

Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is a surgical procedure carried out to alter body parts that a person wishes to change, usually for aesthetic purposes. Such surgical interventions include breast augmentations or reduction, reshaping of the chin or nose and the removal of fat deposits from some parts of the body.

Breast Lift
A breast lift is a surgical measure taken to alter the shape of the breasts. Also known as mastopexy, excess skin is excised and tissue reshaped appropriately to the satisfaction of the patient. A breast lift is usually done to lift sagging breasts or reposition drooping nipples. This procedure is known to boost the self-image of women who have undergone it significantly.

Laser Lipo
This is an alternative to liposuction and involves the use of laser technology to burn away fat deposits in the targeted areas. The liquefied fat is then sucked out through a thin tube. This procedure takes about an hour, and the patient is put under local anesthesia as opposed to general anesthesia used during liposuction.

Liposuction
Liposuction is a fat removal surgical procedure performed on parts of the body carrying excess fat. Excess fat deposits are usually found around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, upper arms and thighs. Liposuction uses vacuum suction to suck out the fat and is also used to contour the body, giving you that shapely figure you so desire.

Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift is a popular surgical procedure that involves the transfer of fat from other parts of the body to enlarge the buttocks. Through liposuction, excess fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, and thighs. The fat deposits are then purified and injected into the buttocks. This procedure has been cited as dangerous and unsafe.

It's Time to Get a Life
Whether you're undergoing plastic or cosmetic surgery, both procedures will restore your confidence and improve self-image.
