Body Contouring
Being comfortable with your body can influence the way you interact with people and dictate your lifestyle choices. Many people have stubborn pockets of body fat that don't go away with diet and exercise. Other people experience excess loose skin after dramatic weight loss, and they feel self-conscious about showing off their new figures. If you are considering a body sculpting procedure, our plastic surgery practice offers a number of body contouring surgeries that can help you achieve a firm, toned figure.
Liposuction
One of the easiest and safest ways to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat on the body is liposuction. Many areas of the body can be unresponsive to diet and exercise, but the appearance of excess fat on a person's body can take a toll on his or her self-esteem. By targeting certain localized areas of the body and face, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, neck, and upper arms, Dr. Jones can help patients attain a firmer, more sculpted body. Using advanced ultrasound technology (VASER) and a suction tube, Dr. Jones can remove fat cells from these problem areas, leading to smoother skin and a fitter overall appearance. Liposuction also is effective for breast reduction. If you are considering liposuction as a body sculpting solution, contact our plastic surgery practice to find out about the different techniques we use.
Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular and longest-lasting plastic surgery treatments available. The benefits of liposuction include:
* Improved Appearance - Areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise are often dramatically improved with liposuction surgery.
* Improved Health - Whether through diet and exercise or through liposuction surgery, the removal of excess body fat can be good for your overall health.
* Cellulite Removal - Although there is no cure for cellulite, liposuction surgery can reduce the appearance of cellulite in both men and women.

Tummy Tuck
A sculpted, toned abdomen is something that both men and women desire, and a slim waistline is not always easy to achieve. Abdominoplasty, or a "tummy tuck," can help patients attain a tighter abdomen for a more aesthetically pleasing midsection. During a tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Jones manually tightens abdominal muscles, resulting in a sculpted, toned tummy that's free from excess sagging skin. A popular procedure for post-pregnancy mothers, a tummy tuck can be performed to remove excess skin, reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and permanently improve the proportion of a woman's body after childbirth. If you are considering abdominoplasty for a firmer, flatter tummy, contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
Body Lift
Normal aging and dramatic weight loss can leave people with excess hanging skin all over their bodies. Whether due to bariatric surgery, significant weight loss, or loss of skin elasticity with age, body lift procedures at our plastic surgery practice can help remove and tighten excess, sagging skin to reveal the contours of your body. People with excessive hanging skin all over the body will experience the most dramatic results with a full body lift, but Dr. Jones tailors each body lift procedure to meet the patient's specific aesthetic goals. Body lifts can be performed on any part of the body, including the arms, buttocks, thighs, hips, breasts, and abdomen. We also offer upper, mid, and lower body lifts to target particular regions of the body. Patients experience especially dramatic results by combining body lift surgery with liposuction.
