There are some abdominal conditions that cannot be addressed solely by diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty (or a tummy tuck) removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower stomach to create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. The tummy tuck procedure helps tighten loose skin and abdominal muscles that have stretched from weight loss or pregnancy in ways that diet and exercise cannot. Dr. Lapuerta offers a variety of tummy tuck techniques to ensure you achieve optimally precise and personalized treatment.
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.
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.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes. By addressing issues such as drooping eyelids, excess skin, and bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty can help you look more refreshed and youthful. Applicable to the upper and lower eyelids, this procedure can enhance your facial features and boost your self-confidence, delivering an overall more youthful and energized appearance.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape the breasts, restoring a youthful and lifted appearance. When combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction, a breast lift can enhance your natural beauty and boost your self-confidence. Dr. Lapuerta offers a comprehensive menu of breast procedures to help you achieve your ideal results.
The neck is one of the places on the human body where the signs of aging are the most visible. A neck lift can correct many noticeable signs of aging, from jowling to visible platysmal lines to sagging skin, leading to a “turkey neck” look. Neck lifts also treat wrinkles and creases along the neck and decolletage, taking years off your appearance and expanding your wardrobe options. Neck lifts are typically performed alongside a facelift to maximize results in the lower third of the face.
With more than 30,000 procedures performed, Dr. Leo Lapuerta knows what impeccable breast surgery looks like. If you’ve received breast surgery and feel like the results don’t quite meet your expectations, schedule a consultation with Dr. Lapuerta to go over your options for breast revision surgery. Revision surgery is also an effective technique for patients who need their implants removed or replaced, or who want to switch from implants to another method of breast augmentation. Learn more with a consultation with Dr. Lapuerta.
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is a surgical procedure that can refine the shape and size of the nose. By addressing aesthetic concerns such as a crooked nose, a bulbous tip, or a large nasal hump, rhinoplasty can significantly enhance your facial harmony. With refined nasal contours, improved symmetry, and potential functional benefits, rhinoplasty can boost your self-confidence and improve your overall appearance.
Turn to the power of plastic surgery to get rid of stubborn pockets of body fat for good with liposuction. While not a weight loss surgery, liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body by sucking them out through a cannula (wand). Dr. Lapuerta often uses liposuction in conjunction with tummy tucks, body lifts, or as part of a mommy makeover surgery, delivering impressive body contouring results for his patients.
Our office carries many injectable filler brands, which add volume under the skin to smooth wrinkles and surface imperfections with lasting results.
A body lift is a comprehensive and transformative surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and tissue following significant weight loss. By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues, a body lift can significantly improve body contours and restore a more youthful appearance. A body lift targets multiple areas, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks to help you regain your confidence and embrace a more sculpted physique.
Gynecomastia surgery is a minimally invasive form of male breast reduction surgery that is able to remove small to moderate amounts of fat and breast tissue in the male chest area.
