Body Contouring
Are you unhappy with your body shape or appearance? Have aging, pregnancy, and/or excessive weight gain or loss caused your skin to hang loosely or bulge excessively in some places? Then, body contouring may be the right next step for you!

Tummy Tuck
If you have large, annoying fatty areas in your stomach that just won’t go away – no matter how much you exercise, or, after multiple pregnancies, the skin of your stomach is loose and baggy, a tummy tuck is for you. Dr. Schmid will flatten your abdomen by removing that excess fat and skin and by tightening the muscles of your abdominal wall.
Liposuction
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing pockets of fatty, loose, unattractive skin that just won’t go away no matter how much you try to lose it through dieting and exercise? With liposuction, Dr. Schmid can help sculpt your body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including your abdomen, buttocks, thighs, hips, upper arms, cheeks and neck.
Arm Lift
An arm lift may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms has developed sagging, droopy skin, or appears loose and full due to excess skin and fat. Dr. Schmid can reduce the excess skin and underlying fat that occurs between your underarm region and the elbow, reshaping your arm to have smoother skin and a more toned, proportionate appearance.
Buttock Lift
If aging, genetics or weight loss has caused your buttock to sag, a buttock lift may be for you. Dr. Schmid will remove excess fat and skin in your buttocks, toning it and elevating it back to its normal position.
Thigh Lift
Has the skin around your thighs, hips and buttocks lost its elasticity and become loose or sagging? Aging, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in sagging of the thighs. With a thigh lift, Dr. Schmid will reshape your thighs, reducing excess skin and sometimes fat and giving you smoother skin and better-proportioned contours in your thighs.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover’s help women look and feel better about themselves by reversing some of the unwanted changes that occur to their bodies due to pregnancy. Proper diet and exercise is always recommended but when it’s just not enough, turn to Dr. Schmid to help rejuvenate your body. A Mommy Makeover will rejuvenate and reshape your breasts, tummy, vagina, face and other parts of your body affected by pregnancy.
