Body Reshaping
Including tummy tuck and liposuction.
Liposuction
You diet and exercise but still can’t seem to lose the fat. Believe Dr. Ellen when she says it is not you. Certain areas of the body are prone to fatty deposit and no amount of starving or sweating can erase it. However, you don’t have to be resigned to having love handles or “back fat.” New techniques in minimally invasive plastic surgery make it possible to see immediate results by removing excess body fat through liposuction.
Reshape various problem areas with Dr. Ellen’s artistic and gifted surgical skill. Remove fat deposits from the neck, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs in a safe, state-of-the-art surgical manner that will permanently remove the fat from your body.
During your private consultation, Dr. Ellen will help you identify those areas of your body that will respond most favorably with Liposuction. Many Liposuction procedures can be done under a local anesthetic and patients can return to normal activity within 24 hours. Most procedures can be accomplished with little, if any, down time, with no scarring and, most importantly, results that can be seen immediately. Call Dr. Ellen today to schedule your private consult and review the various techniques her office provides.

Tummy Tuck
If you see a woman with great abs, chances are she’s in her 20s and never had a baby. For most of us, great abdominals are only a dream. You can do crunches, sit-ups and other strength training techniques and still have a pouch around the middle. A "tummy tuck" or abdominoplasty can flatten and smooth a protruding abdomen by excising unwanted fat and skin while tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.
A relatively painless procedure, it is a guaranteed way of eliminating the belly that has bothered you for years. The cost of replacing your wardrobe is, in most cases, considerably higher than letting Dr. Ellen slim your tummy and make you feel more attractive in just a few hours.
As we age, and especially from bearing children, the strength of our abdominal muscles diminish. A tummy tuck is a safe, easy and effective way to give you the look you deserve. Ask Dr. Ellen whether this procedure is right for you during your private, one on one consultation.

Arm Lift
Sagging of the upper arms can be an embarrassment to many women. What woman doesn’t want toned and slender upper arms? Even the most rigorous exercise can’t make the skin taught, especially when age or significant weight loss is an underlying cause. If summertime leaves you worrying about short sleeves then an arm lift, or brachioplasty, may be an option for you.
Fluctuations in weight, growing older and even heredity can cause your upper arms to droop and sag. While exercise will strengthen the underlying muscle tone of the upper arms, it will not fix the excess skin that has lost its elasticity or remove localized fat deposits that give arms a droopy appearance.
During your consultation with Dr. Ellen, she will outline the benefits of an arm lift procedure and whether it will achieve the look you want for yourself. While there may be some minimal scarring on the underside of the upper arm, an arm lift can have a dramatic effect on the look of your arms and give you a more youthful appearance with minimal recovery time.

Back Lift
Weight loss and aging both contribute to an accumulation around the waist and back – when minimal, we give them the knick name ‘love handles’. But for those who have had major weight loss, there is nothing to love about these sagging pouches of skin. You’ve struggled to lose the weight and now are finally winning the battle of the bulge. As great as it is to finally lose the weight, you’re left with pouches that exercise and proper nutrition alone won’t fix. In fact, there is only one sure way to get you to the goal line when it comes to these fat pockets and sagging skin: a back lift. Designed for people who have an excess amount of skin hanging off their frames, a surgical procedure known as a back lift, or lipectomy, is the only option that will provide true dramatic results.
Because skin loses its elasticity as we age or when we lose excessive amounts of weight, the only remedy is to surgically remove the excess skin. Dr. Ellen’s surgical skill can safely and permanently enhance the appearance of your body through this safe and highly effective procedure. By removing sagging skin, the hard work you have put in at the gym and through diet will be revealed to the world and you can show off your new body at the beach without the embarrassment many people feel when getting into close fitted clothing or bathing suits.

Thigh Lift
It’s hard to find a woman who truly loves the way their thighs look. So, you are not alone when you look at your legs and are unhappy with their appearance. Even though you exercise and eat right sometimes the fat doesn’t melt off like you had hoped, or perhaps it’s coming off in places other than your target areas. For women who have lost an excessive amount of weight, or who are victims of heredity or age, sagging thighs are an embarrassment that the gym or salad bar won’t fix. A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper thighs. Many women who undergo this procedure report that, for the first time in many years, they feel confident about wearing shorts and look forward to the warm weather.
During your consultation with Dr. Ellen, she will explain the various thigh lift procedures and how each will have a dramatic effect on your appearance and self confidence. Whether inner thighs, known as a medial thigh lift, is the proper course to remove excess skin and fat; or an outer thigh lift, called a lateral thigh lift, will help you achieve the look you want, Dr. Ellen will listen to your concerns and desires before recommending a proper course of action.
Patients who undergo a thigh lift usually report a recovery period between 10 days and two weeks. After that many patients happily tell of wearing clothes they had avoided for years because of embarrassment of their appearance.
