Breast Augmentation / Sub-Muscular, Sub-Fascial Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure used to increase the size and/or alter the shape of a woman's breasts through the use of an implant. Women may choose to have this operation either as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery, to balance different sized breasts, or to enhance the contours of the body. Whatever the specific purpose, women who undergo breast augmentation can expect larger, firmer, and more visually satisfying breasts. [Top] Over time, the natural aging process can cause a woman's breasts to sag and lose their shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and cosmetically alters a woman's breasts. After the procedure, women can expect firmer, more shapely and youthful looking breasts. [Top] Body Contouring / Lower Body Lift Body contouring involves the reshaping of undesirable parts of the patient's body through the use of plastic surgery. Dr. Yu combines various procedures to alter the shape of the body. The most common techniques used are liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Liposuction is used to remove fat from the arms, legs, and torso. Dr. Yu begins by inserting a cannula (a slim, hollow tube) into small incisions near the area(s) to be recontoured. The cannula is moved through the layers of tissue and extracts the unnecessary fat. Once the fat and tissue have been removed, Dr. Yu stitches the incision and trims away excess skin. [Top] Inherited traits often prevent people from achieving their desired body shape. Even years of exercise may not yield significant or noticeable results in certain people. For many, the answer is liposuction, a surgical procedure which extracts fat from specific areas of the body. Liposuction are routinely performed on the jaw, upper arms, inner / outer thighs, and abdominal area. Following the procedure, patients can expect a slimmer, more shapely profile. [Top] A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that extracts surplus fat and tissue from the abdominal region. It is especially helpful for men who retain excess weight in their mid-sections and for women who have undergone multiple pregnancies. Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect a flatter, more contoured, and more visually satisfying torso. Dr. Yu offers both full abdominoplasty as well as mini abdominoplasty. [Top]
