 A variety of factors can alter the body’s appearance. The natural aging process, genetics, and weight gain and loss can all cause our bodies to misshape. At A Women’s Touch, Dr. Glass offers a variety of body contouring procedures to help you obtain the body image you want.
After pregnancy or excessive weight loss, the body’s skin tends to lose elasticity. The body’s muscles loosen and weaken and excess skin begins to droop. This saggy excess skin is sometimes branded by unsightly stretch marks. Exercise will not tighten this loose skin. A tummy tuck is a procedure specifically designed to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove that unattractive excess skin.

Following weight loss, many people experience excess fat and excess skin on the upper arms. A brachioplasty (arm lift) involves liposuction of the excess fat and then reducing the extra skin. This operation involves the exchange of loose skin for scarring. However, many patients prefer the scarring along with the improved contour of the arms.

Despite a strict exercise regimen and sensible diet, some people may still have pockets of fat that will not go away. Liposuction has become a safe and preferred procedure for removing excess fat from the hips, thighs, buttocks, and around the stomach. It can also be used to remove fat from areas of the face, neck, and arms.
The results of the procedure are generally outstanding and cause minimal scarring.
A Women’s Touch offers Ultrasonic Liposuction. The ultrasonic procedure partially melts the fat, making it easier to remove and allowing more time to sculpt the body.

Aging, weightloss and gravity can cause the skin of the inner and outer thigh to lose tone causing the skin to sag. In addition, regardless of dieting and exercise, the thighs can be an area of fat collection causing an undesirable contour. A thigh lift usually involves liposuction to remove the excess fat and excision of excess skin to give the thighs a tighter appearance and a more desirable contour.
