Body Contour
The appearance of the
abdominal section of the body can be refined and contoured using
surgical procedures.
Surgery of
the Abdomen
(Abdominoplasty
or "Tummy Tuck")
Generally referred to as a
"tummy
tuck", abdominoplasty
removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen. The procedure also
helps to flatten the abdomen  by tightening the surrounding
muscles. Women with stretched abdominal areas due to previous
pregnancies can benefit considerably from abdominoplasty,
although they should have completed their childbearing. Older
individuals whose skin has lost some of its elasticity and are slightly
obese can experience an improvement in their abdominal area.
If you are in generally good physical shape but are concerned about
abdominal fat deposits or loose skin that does not respond to diet and
exercise, the procedure can potentially reduce or even eliminate a
protruding abdomen. Abdominoplasty
can produce a permanent scar which can possibly extend to both sides of
your hips, although the scar will likely be located below the bikini or
bathing suit line.

Surgical Procedures
Liposuction
(Lipoplasy /
Suction Lipectomy)
Now among the most popular
cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction (also known as "lipoplasty"
or "suction lipectomy") sculpts the body by removing undesirable
fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen,
chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
(UAL), tumescent technique and the super-wet technique are among the
various techniques used to provide precise results.
Liposuction is
not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate
areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods.

Surgical Procedures
Brachioplasty
 Brachioplasty is surgically recontouring
the arms. The procedure is usually performed under general
anesthesia. In order to remove the unwanted skin, an incision is required
that runs from near the elbow into the armpit
The incision is placed in the most
inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back), but some scarring will
always be visible.
Surgical Procedures
Buttocks and
Thigh Lifting
With aging, skin gets loose and flabby
as natural elasticity disappears. In women, this tendency may result
in large areas of saggy skin mostly inside the thighs.
Thigh lifting is meant to stretch skin
back into place, Improve contours by making tighter, more attractive
thigh and buttock skin, reduce fat layers and decrease irregularities
in skin surface if necessary and excise surplus skin.

Endermology for Cellulitis
Endermologie is a technique administrated
through an advanced technological device. It consists in maneuvre
and continuous rolling up and unrolling of the skin in the cellulitis
areas to improve the vascularization, while making it easier for the
elimination of toxine products. The treatment needs to be combined
with physical exercise and a diet, and obtains excellent results in the
interested areas. One application is 35 minutes long, and between 15
to 20 sessions of Endermologie in 4-6 weeks are necessary to obtained a
real improvement. With our cellulite treatment program, you can
