Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty procedures, commonly known as tummy tucks, are designed to create a smooth, firm, and flattering abdominal profile. Plastic surgeons accomplish this by removing excess fat and skin from around the abdomen and strengthening and restoring abdominal muscles that have weakened over time. Tummy tucks are popular with patients who have experienced large fluctuations in weight and those who are looking to restore their abdominal regions following a pregnancy.
Liposuction
Liposuction procedures are a safe and effective way to slim and reshape specific areas of your body. Liposuction is a highly individualized procedure that involves removing unwanted fat deposits from the areas identified by you and your plastic surgeon. At The VU Center, our experienced plastic surgeons can use liposuction to eliminate excess fat from many common problem areas including the abdomen and waist, upper arms, back, calves and ankles, hips and buttocks, thighs, chin and neck, and more.
Body Lift
Are you bothered by loose or sagging skin and excess fat in your abdominal areas, buttocks, and thighs? If so, a body lift procedure may be the right course of action for you. Body lift procedures are similar to tummy tuck procedures, but in addition to improving the shape and appearance of the abdominal area, your plastic surgeon will also improve the contours and appearance of your buttocks and thighs. Individual results vary, but the world-class plastic surgeons at The VU Center do everything in their power to help patients achieve their desired outcomes.
Mommy Makeover
Mothers know all too well the toll that pregnancy and giving birth can take on their bodies. It is not uncommon for women to experience undesirable postpartum changes to their waist, abdomen, breast, buttocks, and vaginal areas. Mommy makeovers are operations that combine all of the specific plastic surgery needs of the patient into one convenient, single-stage procedure. During your consultation at The VU Center, your plastic surgeon will work closely with you to create a mommy makeover plan that’s designed to achieve your specific goals.
The compassionate plastic surgeons at The VU Center are dedicated to helping you look and feel your best. If you are interested in learning more about our plastic surgery procedures and whether they may be right for you, schedule a consultation at our state-of-the-art clinic in Portland.
