In a perfect world, we would all feel completely comfortable with our bodies.  All of our various parts would complement each other and function harmoniously, and no one would ever feel self-conscious or embarrassed about his or her appearance.  But ours, of course, is not a perfect world, and most of us have parts of our bodies that are nagging sources of dissatisfaction.  Thankfully, aesthetic surgery offers a wide range of possible solutions.

Modern technology has made it more possible than ever to target specific problem areas of the body, allowing them to be treated with minimal pain, scarring, and investment of time for the patient.  Indeed, recent advances have made it possible to perform many procedures without incision, minimizing recovery time while optimizing results.

Dr. Pyo has carefully chosen the phrase "body contouring" to describe the procedures listed on this page.  Precision, detail, and refinement are Dr. Pyo's trademarks, as hundreds of patients have discovered for themselves.  His delicate touch and commitment to balance, safety, and detail have resulted in a history of satisfied, grateful patients.

The following are some of the procedures we offer as part of our body contouring program.  We invite you to read these and then to contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Pyo.

Smartlipo Laser Liposuction
Fat deposits can be stubborn and persistent.  They can endure even the healthiest diets and most stringent exercise routines, causing many people to feel frustrated and helpless.  Thankfully, the revolutionary Smartlipo laser liposuction system has made it possible to target these fat deposits without the need for major invasive surgery.  Smartlipo Laser Liposuction is performed in the office under local anesthesia.   Dr. Pyo then removes the dissolved fat through a tiny, self-healing incision.  Smartlipo is a gentler, more effective alternative to traditional liposuction, resulting in far less pain and bruising.  The once problematic area will be smooth and show few if any signs that fat was removed.

It is Dr. Pyo's opinion that the results of  Smartlipo are better than traditional Liposuction techniques because of the homogenous melting of the fatty layer.  Rather than tunnels being created by traditional Liposuction cannulas, the Smartlipo system melts the layer of fat in a more uniform fashion, resulting in a smoother result.

Abdominoplasty ("Tummy Tuck")
Generally referred to as a "tummy tuck," abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen.  The procedure also helps to flatten the abdomen by tightening the surrounding muscles.  It can be particularly beneficial to women who have stretched abdominal areas due to previous pregnancies, though they should have completed their childbearing before considering the procedure.  Older individuals whose skin has lost some of its elasticity and are overweight can also benefit.

If you are in generally good physical condition but are concerned about abdominal fat deposits and loose skin that do not respond to diet and exercise, abdominoplasty can potentially reduce or even eliminate a protruding abdomen.  As a result, you will look slimmer, fitter, and altogether healthier.

Thigh Lifts/Arm Lifts/Body Lifts
"Lift" procedures involve the tightening of loose skin through a combination of fat extraction, removal of excess skin and tissue, and gentle stretching of the remaining skin.  Using the Liposelection system to remove fat allows Dr. Pyo to perform these procedures more efficiently and effectively than ever.  Indeed, in most cases, lifts can be done in a single office visit with minimal pain, scarring, or bleeding.  Recovery time has also been dramatically reduced.

The purpose of a lift is to target specific areas of the body where loose skin has collected and begun to sag, making you look older and less fit than you truly are.  The thigh lift is designed to tone the thighs and tighten the buttocks, while the arm lift may be ideal for those who are self-conscious about drooping upper arms.

The body lift can be used effectively as a post-bariatric procedure, helping to return form and shape to the body after a sharp decrease in weight.  Dramatic weight loss is often accompanied by areas of loose skin and isolated pockets of fatty tissue that don't respond to diet or exercise.  The body lift provides a comprehensive solution to these problem areas, bringing your appearance into alignment with your healthy new lifestyle.

Not every person is a candidate for every kind of lift.  Before undergoing a lift, you will be thoroughly evaluated by Dr. Pyo.  He will honestly and openly educate you about your options and help you to establish reasonable expectations and goals.  All
consultations will be completely private and confidential, and your case will be
treated with the sensitivity and tact for which Dr. Pyo is known.
