Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed for women with large breasts. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give a woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

Breast Lift
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. A Breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a well-tolerated surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts. Although no surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity, a Mastopexy will recreate youthful breasts as well as possibly reducing the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume and feel deflated, Dr. Mirabile may suggest inserting breast implants in conjunction with a breast lift. A breast lift with implants will increase both breast size and firmness.

Liposuction
When dieting and exercise are not enough, you may want to consider the well-known benefits of liposuction. Liposuction is best thought of as liposculpture. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction, but rather a method of removing localized fat that doesn't respond to normal dieting and exercise. Liposuction is a technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, above the breasts, the abdomen and “love-handles”, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. There are two basic techniques used in liposuction: tumescent and ultrasonic. Both techniques share core surgical elements. In fact, even if ultrasound is used, it will be followed by tumescent liposuction.
Liposuction can be performed under general anesthesia (in which you are completely asleep) or sedation (very relaxed in a light sleep). It can be performed in our surgical center or the hospital. The results can be permanent, providing you eat sensibly and exercise regularly. If you do gain weight, you'll probably gain it more uniformly throughout your body, not just in the former "bulges."
After surgery, you will wear a body-compression garment. You must wear this for several weeks. After surgery, you can usually go home. You'll want to make arrangements for a responsible adult to care for you for the first 24 hours.

Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a frequently performed surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall, resulting in a smoother, flatter appearance of the abdomen. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen that can result from pregnancy or weight gain. This procedure does produce a permanent scar " which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction of the Abdomen
If you have excess abdominal fat, no stretch marks and fairly good skin tone, you are a good candidate for liposuction. If you have stretch marks, loose skin and a loose inner girdle (all more likely after pregnancy), a tummy tuck is probably your best choice.
Most patients are very satisfied with the results of their liposuction " they feel more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes, and more at ease with their bodies. As long as your expectations are realistic, you should be happy with your new shape.

Buttock Implant
The curves and roundness of the buttock region have long been associated with allure, sex appeal and youth. Now through the use of buttock implants, patients can enhance those curves with body contouring that cannot be achieved through exercise or nature. Buttock implants work best in patients who want extra fullness in the upper and/or midbuttock (upper) part of the buttock. The highest-grade pliable silicone implant is used and placed through a single opening in the intergluteal area.
Since the implants will be directly in the sitting area, you will need to avoid sitting for approximately two weeks after surgery. Except for using the bathroom, you should avoid putting pressure on the sitting area as much as possible. You will need to sleep, watch TV and rest in the prone position (on the stomach) for the two-week period. Patients are able to stand and walk on the day of the surgery or one day after. Expect to be off work for about 2 weeks. In about a month, you should be able to return to the gym or work out.

Buttock Lift
The Buttock Lift is designed to tighten the skin around the buttock area. This lift is a very powerful body rejuvenating procedure for individuals with excess skin along the buttocks with associated cellulite. The procedure may incorporate liposuction to achieve balance between the torso, thighs and buttocks. The incision required for the procedure is placed very low on the back, just above the buttocks. The scar, which usually heals very well, is hidden by most contemporary underwear and bikini swimwear.
The key to a nice result is in the evaluation of the problem. The area that has the overhang needs to be carefully evaluated by Dr. Mirabile since it can be in three different areas. It can be in the lower buttock, the inner part of the buttock or on the sides of the buttock. Nearly all types of excess can be improved with the traditional buttock lift.
