Some of the Body Contouring procedures available at the practice of our San Francisco Bay Area Plastic Surgeon, include:

  • Liposuction: Want to get rid of excess fat? Liposuction, or "lipoplasty," is a procedure that Dr. Mele can perform on various areas of the body. In order to perform liposuction, a cannula, a thin tube, is used to vacuum out excess fat.

    Some of the common areas for liposuction:

    • Chin
    • Breasts
    • Abdomen
    • Hips
    • Thighs
    • Buttocks

  • Arm Lift: After dramatic weight loss, the person is usually left with excess skin on the upper arms. An arm lift, or "brachioplasty," can improve the appearance of the arm by removing the excess skin; Dr. Mele, a reputable San Francisco Body Lift expert, will tighten the flabby tissue.

  • Tummy Tuck, "abdominoplasty": A Tummy Tuck entails the removal of excess fat and skin from the abdominal region, and when beneficial, tightening of the abdominal muscles. In many cases, a tummy tuck is paired up with liposuction for optimal body contouring results.
