Abdominoplasty vs Skin Removal: Reshaping Your Body After Weight Loss
Both an abdominoplasty and a skin removal procedure (panniculectomy) can help reshape the body after significant weight loss. These procedures target excess skin in the lower belly.

What Is a Mastopexy?
If the effects of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or nursing have left you with sagging breasts, a breast lift can be transformational.
