It’s a tale as old as time. Every December 31st, we ring in the New Year with lists of what we’d like to accomplish and resolutions that we’ve made for the next twelve months that lay before us. The future feels fresh with potential, but most New Year’s resolutions don’t make it past March. Life gets in the way despite our best intentions.
Year in and year out, one of the most common resolutions is weight loss. The continued popularity of this desire demonstrates our unending wish to improve our bodies as well as our health. Yet it’s easy to become defeated by the hard work of diet and exercise, when problem spots persist and the effort we put in isn’t reflected in the body. That’s why cosmetic surgery can be the perfect way to begin the new year. Not only can customized procedures enhance appearance, cosmetic surgery delivers noticeable results that inspire people to stay committed to their diet and fitness goals.

Liposuction
This classic body contouring procedure just keeps getting better with time. Liposuction dates back to the early 1900s, and has developed and improved exponentially. Modern-day techniques have the benefit of more than a century’s worth of research and experience. Innovative liposuction technology offers a variety of fat removal methods, including using ultrasound energy for precision results.
Liposuction is safe and effective for nearly any part of the body. The cosmetic procedure targets any stubborn pockets of fat that are impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. In the hands of a skilled, experienced liposuction expert, your bumps and bulges can be transformed into smooth, lean, streamlined contours.

Tummy Tuck
Any number of things can impact the stomach’s appearance. Pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging can all leave the abdomen looking the worse for wear. Weight gain followed by weight loss can leave skin stretched out and loose. Abdominal muscles may become weakened or separated as a result of pregnancy, creating a ‘pooched’ appearance. Diet and exercise are powerless to change a stomach that’s riddled with loose, hanging skin or busted muscles.
A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, removes excess skin, repairs damaged muscles and leaves you with a toned, taut midsection. A tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction of the hips or flanks to enhance the overall contours and create a more proportionate figure. In addition to these positive results, studies have shown that tummy tucks can lead to lasting weight loss, indicating the procedure offers a boost to your image as well as your long-term health.

Breast Augmentation
Women who want to enhance their breast size can choose from a wide range of implants for breast augmentation surgery. Saline and silicone gel implants are available in many different sizes, shapes and textures, ensuring that there’s something to match each woman’s unique needs. A breast augmentation can be done as a stand-alone procedure or may be combined with a breast lift, also known as mastopexy. After weight loss or breastfeeding, skin around the breasts can become stretched and loose, causing the breast to droop. Breast lifts remove excess skin, reposition the nipple and areola, and elevate breasts to a more youthful placement.
Some women will want just one of the procedures, however others may be interested in having all of them done. Fortunately, the three procedures can be combined into a mommy makeover, which can offer a full-body restoration. What better way to start out the new year than to get your groove back.
