Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

All plastic surgery procedures fall into one of four basic categories:

Body Contouring Surgery
This involves any procedures not performed on the face or breasts. Most of these procedures involve the removal of fat – procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks. Another main type of body contouring surgery involves the reshaping and tightening of any specific body part, such as an arm lift or a thigh lift.

Breast Surgery

This is, by far, the most popular type of procedure we perform. Breasts can be either enlarged or reduced in size, and they can also be reshaped and reconstructed. (Sometimes reshaping is used in conjunction with other procedures, too.)

Breast surgery is not just for women. At the Utah Cosmetic Surgery center, we also perform male breast reduction. (The medical term for this is gynecomastia.)

Facial Enhancement
This is any surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of a patient’s face -- from wrinkle removal to feature alteration. The most common types of facial enhancement surgeries are facelifts and BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures. However, we also perform surgeries to improve the eyes, nose, ears and cheeks.

Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation is any procedure used to fight the signs of aging and correct tired, sagging skin. Skin resurfacing procedures help eliminate wrinkles and diminish scarring or uneven pigmentation. Laser hair removal techniques remove unwanted facial and body hair. Schlerotherapy techniques reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Basically, almost any type of scar, lesion or skin discoloration can be lessened, if not removed entirely. The overall goal of any skin rejuvenation procedure is younger, firmer, more evenly-toned skin.

Because cosmetic surgery procedures are highly individualized, it’s important to thoroughly communicate your desires to your surgeon beforehand. That is why we offer free consultations – so we can listen to your concerns, and explain all aspects of your procedures to you.
