Surgical Options
Liposuction
Diet, and exercise are the best ways to slim down and lose weight, but they aren’t always enough to give your body the shape and contours you’d prefer; liposuction sculpts away areas of fat to reveal slimmer lines and improved definition.
About LiposuctionTummy Tuck
Even the most committed workout routine can’t resolve the appearance of excess skin and tissue left behind after pregnancy or rapid weight loss; abdominoplasty restores your waistline for a smoother, flatter tummy.
About Tummy TuckArm Lift
Loose skin and excess tissue through the upper arm is common following weight loss, or may develop as a product of age (especially in women); an arm lift delivers a more sculpted look that better accentuates your natural muscle tone.
About Arm LiftThigh Lift
The inner and outer thighs are among the most notoriously difficult areas to target and tone with exercise alone; a thigh lift addresses lax skin and fatty deposits throughout the thighs and flanks for a more streamlined lower body.
About Thigh Lift“I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Savalia and his entire staff. Dr. Savalia took the time to listen to my concerns and explain everything clearly, which really helped me feel confident in my decision. The results exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier.”
Male Breast Reduction
The development of male breasts, or gynecomastia, can have a dramatic impact on men, both emotionally and psychologically; by removing the overgrown breast tissue and sculpting the tissues, male breast reduction restores muscular definition throughout the male chest.
About Male Breast ReductionBody Contouring After Weight Loss

What is liposuction and who is a good candidate?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, neck, and chin. Ideal candidates are near their target weight, in good health, and seek contouring—not weight loss. It doesn’t target cellulite.

What is a tummy tuck and how does it differ from liposuction?
A tummy tuck tightens underlying muscles and removes excess skin & fat, especially after pregnancy or weight changes. It’s more comprehensive than liposuction, which only removes fat.
-
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is tailored to post-pregnancy bodies and typically combines procedures—such as tummy tuck, breast surgery, liposuction, BBL—based on individual goals and anatomy.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

Recovery & Results:
No sitting on buttocks for ~2 weeks; light activities in 1 week; return to work in 10–14 days
Results are long-lasting as transferred fat remains in place

What is a Bra-Line Upper Back Lift?
This procedure removes excess fat and tightens sagging skin across the upper/mid back along the bra line. It’s done under general anesthesia (in ~2 hours), with recovery similar to other lifts—work allowed after ~2 weeks

What does body contouring after weight loss involve?
After significant weight loss, patients often experience excess skin. Procedures vary by area and may include thigh/arm lifts, panniculectomy, tummy tuck, bra-line lift, and liposuction for refined, smoother contours.

What is labiaplasty?

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
