Although you may follow a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, there are often areas that are resistant to your efforts.

Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S. offers a wide array of body slimming surgeries in Miami.

What are my options in body enhancing?

During your visit, Dr. Mendieta will discuss the various body sculpting procedures available to you. Depending on your desired outcome and anatomy, a personalized treatment plan will be created in order to achieve the look you desire. The most common body contouring procedures performed at his practice include liposuction ("lipoplasty") and tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty").

Dr. Mendieta offers tumescent liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposculpting (UAL), power assisted liposuction (PAL), Vaser liposelection ®, and Smart LipoT. For each of these liposculpture techniques, a long tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions in the target area; it is attached to a vacuum pump that suctions excess fat.

Further body contouring may be achieved with a tummy tuck, which is designed to tighten stretched-out abdominal muscles and remove loose, sagging skin in the stomach area. Dr. Mendieta can perform a traditional abdominoplasty, mini tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, or circumferential tummy tuck depending on the patient's amount of excess skin.
