Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and tissue, tighten abdominal muscles, and create a more toned and sculpted abdomen. It's ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process, which can lead to weakened stomach muscles and sagging skin that diet and exercise cannot address.
This procedure is not for weight loss but rather for improving the appearance of the abdomen by targeting stubborn fat and loose skin. It is most beneficial for women post-pregnancy or older individuals who have lost skin elasticity. Ideal candidates are in good health and close to their ideal weight.
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) enhances the buttocks by transferring fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The procedure involves liposuction to remove fat, purifying it, and then injecting it into the buttocks to add volume and shape. This creates a fuller, more contoured backside and eliminates stubborn fat that diet and exercise haven't addressed.
Ideal candidates are at a healthy weight, have enough excess fat for grafting, and are looking to enhance the shape and volume of their buttocks. It's popular for those seeking a more sculpted and balanced body shape.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise, refining the waist, abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs and chin. Dr. Espinoza uses advanced techniques to sculpt smooth, proportionate contours rather than simply removing volume.
Ideal candidates are close to their goal weight with good skin elasticity and realistic expectations. Liposuction is frequently combined with a tummy tuck or Brazilian butt lift for a complete transformation.
Arm Lift
An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms, tightening the underlying supportive tissue to create a smoother, better-defined contour from the elbow to the armpit.
It is most often chosen after significant weight loss or when age and genetics have left skin laxity that exercise cannot correct. Dr. Espinoza places incisions discreetly and may combine the lift with liposuction for a refined result.
J-Plasma / Renuvion Skin Tightening
J-Plasma (Renuvion) combines helium plasma with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin from beneath the surface. On the body it is frequently paired with liposuction to address the loose skin that liposuction alone cannot improve.
Because the energy is delivered through small entry points, patients get meaningful tightening of the abdomen, flanks, arms or thighs without the longer scars of an excisional lift.
