Body Procedures
Liposuction
Sometimes, even if you stick to a healthy diet and a regular exercise regimen, you can't seem to eliminate fat pockets from your body's problem areas, especially in the legs buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, chin, neck, or ankles. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets these problem areas and leaves your body more sculpted and toned. First, a small incision is made in the area to be liposuctioned. Next, a thin, hollow tube is inserted into the incision, and the excess fat and tissue are vacuumed out and discarded. Once the area has healed, the patient will enjoy a firmer, tighter physique.
Dr. López performs both the VASER ultrasound and the Microair methods of liposuction. He specializes in liposculpture in all areas in combination with buttocks augmentation, lipo-injection and tummy tuck, a procedure particularly helpful to women – especially following childbirth. To learn more about the different types of liposuction or to discuss your particular case, please contact the Laser Clinic for a consultation.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Even if you do dozens of stomach crunches a day, you may find it impossible to lose the excess fat and skin around your midsection. Luckily, there is a solution – abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty, or the "tummy tuck" as it’s popularly known, is a cosmetic procedure designed to give you sleeker, more defined abs. During the surgery, an incision is first made from one hip to the other and the skin separated from the abdominal muscles. Then the abdominal muscles are tightened, narrowing the waistline and flattening the midsection. Finally, the flap of skin is folded back down, excess skin removed, and the incision stitched closed. Once healing is complete, you can expect to enjoy a beautifully sculpted and flat stomach. Please contact our office today to find out more about abdominoplasty.
Breast Augmentation
Full, shapely breasts can make any woman feel more feminine, beautiful, and secure. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase and enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. The end result is a more curvaceous, sexy bust line and a natural, proportionate figure. During this outpatient procedure, a careful incision is made around the areola, beneath the breast, or under the arm . The implant is inserted beneath or in front of the pectoral muscles. The incision is then stitched closed. The end result is a full and fabulous new figure. Dr. López can help you to choose the right size and kind of implants for you. We have all kinds of implants, including the new, high-cohesive silicone implants! To learn more about breast augmentation, please contact us today.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss or gain, or the natural aging process can cause breasts to lose their natural elasticity and sag. Breast lift can take years off your body by correcting a drooping bust line and restoring your curves to their youthful state. During the procedure, excess skin and tissue are trimmed away and the bust line is tightened and lifted. Remaining tissue and the nipples are then repositioned for beautiful, natural-looking results. Breast lift can also be combined with breast augmentation for a fuller, more shapely look. To find out more about breast lift, please contact our office today.
Breast Reduction
Neck and back pain, bra strap indentations on the shoulders, and general discomfort are an unfortunate reality for women with exceptionally large, heavy breasts. Such breasts can make a woman self-conscious and embarrassed as well as physically uncomfortable. Breast reduction is a cosmetic procedure during which the breasts are made smaller, lighter, and more proportionate to the body. First, an incision is made around the areola, the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple, and below the natural curve of the breast. Next, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened around the newly contoured breast. Contact our practice today to learn more about breast reduction surgery.
Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry, in which one breast is a different size or shape than the other, can be successfully treated using a combination of breast augmentation, lift, and reduction procedures. The particular procedures chosen depend entirely on the degree and type of asymmetry present. Dr. López has extensive experience in reshaping and matching breasts to improve proportional balance and esthetic appeal. If you would like to discuss your particular case with Dr. López, please set up a consultation with us today.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Many men feel self-conscious about extra fat and tissue located in their chest area. Fortunately, gynecomastia can be treated with a procedure sometimes referred to as "male breast reduction." There are two variations on this procedure, depending on your needs. If fat, skin, and glandular tissue need to be removed, the procedure will be done using a scalpel or a scalpel-liposuction combination approach. The incision can usually be placed discreetly in the underarm area or around the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple). If only fatty tissue needs to be removed, the procedure can be done with liposuction alone. This entails a much smaller incision. If you are interested in learning more about treatment for gynecomastia, please contact us today.
Buttocks Augmentation
In today's society fully shaped buttocks are considered sensuous and attractive. Buttocks augmentation can give you the smooth, rounded buttocks that nature didn’t or restore the taut shape your backside had in its youth. During the procedure, Dr. López administers fat injections or inserts buttocks implants through inconspicuous incisions over top the tailbone, giving a smooth, natural looking result. For optimal results, gluteal augmentation is sometimes performed in conjunction with liposuction, which ensures that all surplus fat and tissue are removed. Please contact our office today to find out more about buttocks augmentation.
Calf Implants
Have you tried without success to bulk up your calf muscles through regular, targeted exercise? For those not gifted by nature with full, well-developed calf muscles, calf implants can offer a solution. These silicone implants, inserted over the existing muscles through small incisions behind the knees, can provide added contour and muscular definition to the lower leg, giving a stronger, more proportionate look to the entire lower body. To find out if calf implants are right for you, please contact the Laser Clinic today.
