The healthy diet and the gym are, of course, two essentials for achieving a desired body shape, and our nutrition counselor will assure you that these are the places to start, and will help you devise a plan to stay on track.  But where diet and exercise are not effective, there are cosmetic procedures available from the dermatologist that can help you achieve the body you deserve.  Chin and jowls, for instance, do not respond well to exercise, but unwanted fat can be removed with a small, safe outpatient procedure called micro-liposuction. 

Conversely, where fat has dissipated and you’d like it back, for instance in the nasolabial folds in the face, a quick office procedure where the doctor injects a facial filler like Restylane can instantly improve overall appearance.  A one-on-one consultation with a dermatologist and a nutritionist can help you determine what treatment(s) or therapies for body recontouring would most benefit you.
