Dr. Shaw Tang, General & Cosmetic Surgeon, performs the following body contouring cosmetic surgery procedures. Other procedures also available.

Body Contouring

Liposuction
     This procedure takes out fat in the subcutaneous area while recontouring to create a more aesthetically appealing body.  This treatment is not intended for weight loss, but to remove fatty deposits in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Tummy Tuck
     This procedure reshapes the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, while the underlying muscles are tightened.  The best candidates for this treatment are men and women with loose, sagging abdominal wall skin that is unable to be tightened with exercise.

Arm Lift
     This procedure removes excess fat and tightens the skin of the upper arm that has lost its elasticity through age or after significant weight loss.  The most common way that is done is by an incision that extends from the armpit to the elbow; this allows for maximum skin and fat removal.

Thigh Lift
     This procedure takes away excess skin and fat in your thighs to decrease signs of cellulite.  The procedure aims to create thighs that are proportionate to the buttocks, abs and legs.  Both men and women could be candidates for this contouring procedure.
