Treatments in Body

• Breast Reduction Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin and reshapes the breast, relieving the neck, shoulder, and back strain that heavy breasts cause. It is one of the highest-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it for both relief and a natural, proportionate shape, and can discuss the documentation insurance may require.
• Breast Lift A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes breasts that have sagged with pregnancy, weight change, or age, and repositions the nipple to a natural height. It does not change size on its own, so it is often paired with an implant to add fullness or a reduction to reduce it. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon scales it to your sag.
• Breast Augmentation Breast augmentation adds size and shape with implants or your own fat. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it around your frame, choosing implant type, size, and placement, or fat transfer, for a natural, proportionate result rather than an obvious one. Proportion comes first, and the plan is built to hold up over years.
• Lower Body Lift A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, removes loose, sagging skin all the way around the lower body, the abdomen, flanks, hips, lower back, and outer thighs, in one circumferential procedure after major weight loss. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it once your weight is stable, placing the scar where clothing hides it and being candid about its scale.
• Breast Fat Transfer Breast fat transfer uses liposuction to take fat from one part of your body and graft it into the breasts for a modest, natural increase, with no implant. It suits a subtle size change, correcting minor asymmetry, or softening after other surgery. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it around your tissue, honest about the modest gain it delivers.
• Brazilian Butt Lift A Brazilian butt lift, or gluteal fat grafting, uses liposuction to take your own fat and graft it into the buttocks and hips for a fuller, more balanced shape. Because the procedure has carried real risk, it must be done to current safety standards. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon uses subcutaneous-only injection and ultrasound guidance, for a natural result.
• Arm Lift An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes the loose, hanging skin on the upper arms, often called "bat wings," that appears after weight loss or with age and does not respond to exercise. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon scales the incision to how much skin needs to go, from a short scar to a full inner-arm one, and refines with liposuction when fat is also involved.
