Cosmetic Body Surgery By Board Certified Las Vegas Plastic Surgeons

A round shapely buttock is a sign of youth and beauty. As we age, the buttocks tends to get smaller and flatter and begins to droop. A flat buttock even in a young patient, makes a person look older, and less sexually attractive. Conversely: a round full buttock even in a older patient, makes the patient look younger and more sexually attractive. While African-Americans tend to have larger buttocks, Asians and Phillipinos tend to have flat, smaller buttocks. Increasingly women and men are desiring larger buttocks and buttock enhancement. Fortunately, there are several ways to enhance buttock appearance, and make them more round, and/or larger.

Pregnancy is a wonderful event and gives us the miracle of life. Women are blessed in that this is a special power that only they possess, but they are also faced with the burden of changes to their bodies that occur with pregnancy. Unfortunately, men sometimes do not understand the sacrifices a woman must make in order to bring children into the world. The changes occur on almost every level. Often after pregnancy, there are major changes to the breasts, and abdomen, but also to things such as a slight widening of the pelvic bones or changes in their genitalia.

Isn’t your skin amazing? Mothers have been surprised by the remarkable changes a woman’s body goes through during pregnancy. This is also true for men and women who have experienced fluctuations in their weight. How can you restore your abdomen to its previous appearance? No laser treatments or creams can remove stretch marks. And, no matter how hard you try, there is often no amount of diet or exercise that will get rid of the stomach bulge. There is just no way to get 6-pack abs if your abdominal muscles are not in their proper place.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, or body contouring, is a surgical procedure where fat is removed from the body through a technique that suctions it out from targeted and specific areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and chin.  There are several types of liposuction procedures available at Smith Plastic Surgery and Dr. Smith will discuss which procedure is best for you based on your current body type, the amount of fat you are looking to remove and the location of the fat on your body.

There are many benefits to buttock augmentation and buttock enhancement. Larger buttocks can help balance other areas of the figure, for example large breasts or wide shoulders or hips. Larger buttocks look sexier, and make a patients look younger. Buttock augmentation can help lift buttocks that are sagging. Most importantly patients look and feel more attractive.

A belt lipectomy, also known as a lower body lift, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the patient’s abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. This procedure is not intended simply to remove fat, which can be addressed with liposuction for most patients. However, the plastic surgeon may combine liposuction with a body lift to produce the best results.*

As we age, the skin of the arms can hang and be unattractive. This can also happen after massive weight loss and with weight gain. The hanging skin is usually most prominent in the upper arm area. Some people unflatteringly refer to these as “bat wings”. Often people with this condition will not wear short-sleeved shirts or blouses, even in very hot weather. Usually the problem is mostly in the upper arm area above the elbow with the lower arm area being relatively normal in width (thickness). A brachialplasty or “arm lift” is the procedure whereby the extra skin is removed and the width of the upper arm is made smaller and thinner.

The inner or outer thighs can sometimes hang excessively and have a great deal of loose skin and cellulite. This can occur after massive weight loss, such as after bariatric surgery or aging, or even after poorly performed excessive liposuction. In these cases, liposuction alone will simply make the skin hang more and the thighs look worse. When this occurs thigh lift surgery is a better procedure because the excess skin is removed during thigh lift surgery.*

Many women are concerned about the appearance of their genital (vaginal) area. Labiaplasty surgery is surgery to improve the appearance of the external female genitalia or labia. Although women frequently feel they are the only person with this problem, this is actually a very common surgery and a surgery with one of the highest satisfaction rates of any surgery that Dr. Smith performs.*

Over time, the body changes and certain muscles and sections of skin can become loose or significantly more slack than they were before. The vagina can be affected by this natural part of the aging process, as well as by vaginal childbirth. If you are interested in a procedure that can tighten up a vagina which has become loose over time, our Las Vegas plastic surgeon at Smith Plastic Surgery can help. We offer a vaginal tightening procedure known as a vaginoplasty, which can help increase overall tightness.*

The topic of male breast development can sometimes be an embarrassing one. It is sometimes comforting to know that this is a common problem. The medical term for this is called gynecomastia. The problem can be minor to very severe. When the problem is severe the breasts can be as large as a well-developed woman’s. Gynecomastia is most often not medically harmful, but can be extremely embarrassing.*

Pectoralis muscles are highly sought out by men of all ages and fitness levels. They are also one of the hardest muscles to build, even with hard work, dedication, and exercise. If you have been unable to get your pectoralis muscles to look the way you would like them to, pectoral implants may be the answer.

Smith Plastic Surgery is the exclusive Las Vegas plastic surgery practice to offer the only FDA-approved cellulite treatment that lasts over 2-years. By using Cellfina, we’re able to treats the main cause of cellulite, which are the connecting bands woven through fat.* As you age, these bands contract and tighten, pulling down your skin and creating puckering on the surface of your skin. Like a tense rubberband, once these bands are released, the skin will bounce back and smooth out.*

As males age, the skin of the scrotum stretches. The Scrotum is the sack that holds the male testicles. If the scrotum stretches enough it can be uncomfortable and it can be unattractive.
