- Medical Weight LossLoose upper arm skin is most often related to weight loss but can also be caused by aging and heredity. If you were ever overweight, you more than likely developed heavy upper arms. To accommodate the increased volume of the upper arms, your skin stretched. After weight loss, skin often fails to tighten, giving it a sagging appearance. An arm lift procedure (also called Brachieoplasty) can eliminate this excess skin and give you a more youthful appearance. Brachieoplasty can also significantly improve the fit and feel of clothing.

- LiposuctionWhen diet and exercise alone are not producing the results that you desire, you may consider liposuction to eliminate pockets of fat in stubborn areas. Liposuction is a very popular procedure that is designed for the permanent removal of fatty tissue that is out of proportion to the rest of the body. Dr. Boyd performs liposuction using the pure Tumescent, no incision, microcannular technique. A special solution is used to provide local anesthesia to the area being targeted. Next, micro-suction cannulas no bigger than a pencil lead are introduced through 1.5-millimeter sites called adits. These small cannulas allow for smoother results while minimizing trauma to the tissues. The local anesthesia solution minimizes bleeding and greatly reduces the risk and recovery associated with traditional liposuction. Tumescent liposuction is widely regarded as the safest form of liposuction.

Sagging breasts can make clothing fit poorly and can cause you to look older than you really are. Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts. This procedure will raise and reshape breasts and reverse the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, which is the dark skin around the nipple. Several types of breast lifts are available depending on your individual needs.
