Breast & Body Procedures

At Clevens Face and Body Specialists, we offer a variety of breast enhancements and body contouring procedures to help you look and feel your best.

Surgical Procedures

Arm Lift 

An arm lift reshapes the upper part of the arm by removing excess skin. The process gives the appearance of more defined and youthful arms. People who have lost a significant amount of weight may benefit from this procedure to reduce so-called ‘bat wings.’

Body Contouring After Weight Loss 

Body contouring after weight loss can provide you with an aesthetic makeover by tightening loose skin that resulted from massive weight loss. Body contouring can remove sagging skin from areas such as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, legs, arms, and breast. 

Breast Augmentation 

Breast augmentation uses breast implants to enhance breast size and shape. Breast augmentation not only enhances breast size for naturally small breasts, but it can also correct shrinkage and breast tissue loss due to pregnancy. The procedure will provide you with a more feminine and better-proportioned chest contour. 

Breast Implant Exchange

Breast implant exchange is performed to replace an existing implant with a healthier or different sized implant. An implant transfer might be necessary if your implants experience a complication or if you desire larger or smaller breasts. 

Breast Implant Removal 

Breast implant removal removes damaged or unwanted breast implants and scar tissue, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture. Removing your breast implants is performed to restore natural breast aesthetics or to better fit your lifestyle. 

Breast Lift 

Breast lift surgery reverses sagging breasts by raising and tightening them. The process removes excess skin and tightens the tissue around the breasts for greater support. Any woman who is unsatisfied with her breasts after weight loss, pregnancy, aging, or genetics can undergo this procedure to restore perkier, more youthful breasts.

Breast Reduction 

Occasionally, a large breast may cause you pain in your neck or back. Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue to achieve the smaller breast size you desire. A breast reduction can help reduce physical pain and increase mobility. 

Female to Male Surgery 

Female to male surgery is a collection of cosmetic procedures for transgender men who are ready to take the next step in their transition. These procedures will vary depending on physical needs and aesthetic desires. Surgical options include mastectomy, nipple reduction, liposuction, chin implants, cheek implants, jawline implants, hairline lowering, and rhinoplasty.

Liponique Body Contouring (Liposuction) 

Liponique body contouring, also known as liposuction, removes unwanted fat to reshape areas of the body. This procedure can remove excess from areas such as the abdomen, hips, waist, back, thighs, knees, buttocks, and arms. 

Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction surgery removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest area. Gynecomastia is treated through liposuction and/or excision. Men who suffer from gynecomastia and are in good health may be ideal candidates for this procedure.

Male to Female Surgery

Male to female surgery helps transgender women achieve a more feminine appearance. This operation is a combination of procedures such as top surgery (breast augmentation), rhinoplasty, jawline contouring, neck lift surgery, brow lift surgery, eyelid surgery, hairline advancement, and chondrolaryngoplasty. The procedure is designed for patients looking to take the next step toward their gender confirmation.

Mommy Makeover

Regain your pre-pregnancy body with a treatment plan designed just for you by Amy Simon, MD, FACS, our Mommy Makeover specialist. A Mommy Makeover combines several popular procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, tummy tuck, and liponique, Dr. Simon’s unique approach to custom body contouring. Combining procedures increases the overall quality of your transformation.

Smartlipo®

Smartlipo® is the first laser-assisted liposuction system that removes and breaks down fat to be approved by the FDA. This treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that offers similar results to liposuction. The laser does provide some skin tightening, which will prevent sagging after the fat is removed. 

Thigh Lift 

Thigh lift surgery removes excess fat and skin to reshape the contours of the thighs. This procedure can benefit anyone who has lost a dramatic amount of weight and now has loose skin.

Tummy Tuck 

Get the smooth, flat abdomen you want! Even if you’re making all the right choices with diet and exercise, stubborn fat and loose skin can be impossible to change.  A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin while tightening weakened abdominal muscles to create a firmer, more toned appearance.

Non-Surgical Procedures 

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® provides simmer figures without surgical scars or resulting downtime. By using extremely cold temperatures, stubborn pockets of fat can be minimized, allowing you to achieve tighter, more desirable contours. 

CoolTone®

Once, muscle tone was only able to be had with hours of dedicated work at the gym. Now, CoolTone® offers an alternative to endless hours of weight-training. CoolTone® uses magnetic muscle stimulation to strengthen the muscles and enhance abdominal tone.

Laser Hair Removal

The repeated need for shaving, waxing, and plucking is a never-ending hassle. Instead of being tethered to these daily routines, let laser hair removal do the job for you. Laser hair removal delivers bursts of laser energy directly into the hair follicle that inhibits new hair growth. With repeated treatments, patients will realize the lessened need for shaving and waxing.

SculpSure® Non-surgical Fat Reduction

SculpSure® uses targeted laser energy to heat and melt unwanted fat cells from the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. This non-invasive technology allows patients to sculpt their physique without downtime or significant discomfort.
