• Tummy Tuck
• Abdominoplasties are some of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures at Edina Plastic Surgery. While there are many types of body contouring procedures to choose from they are all useful to achieve an improved body shape. The important thing is to perform the correct procedure on the correct patient.

• Liposuction
• Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is a procedure that sculpts the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction has benefited from several refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although liposuction is no substitute for dieting and exercise, it can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
