Plastic Surgery Procedures

Dr. Lapuerta performs a variety of plastic surgery procedures to enhance one's appearance and help them achieve their goals. A few of the most popular include:

• Tummy Tuck: The tummy tuck helps tighten loose skin and abdominal muscles that have stretched from weight loss or pregnancy.
• Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation increases the size of the breast while also changing the shape.
• Breast Lift: A breast lift may be added to this procedure to restore the perkiness often lost due to aging or breastfeeding.
• Mommy Makeover: A Mommy makeover combines procedures when you want to work on multiple areas. You may combine a breast augmentation and tummy tuck, liposuction and tummy tuck, or various procedures into one surgery. Many women choose this route after having children to regain their pre-pregnancy body.
• Facelift: Facelifts can tighten the lower half of the face and get rid of sagging skin around the jawline. This procedure redefines the neck area and chin, helping you look younger. It may also be combined with eyelid surgery or brow lift to improve the entire face. You can talk to Dr. Lapuerta about which procedure is right for you when you schedule a consultation to learn more about plastic surgery in Houston.
