Body Sculpting


Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck Procedure)


A favorite procedure among men and women, abdominoplasty safely removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, while simultaneously tightening the muscles. This procedure replaces a youthful, athletic appearance to the abdomen and the belly button. It is particularly popular among women with multiple pregnancies, as pregnancy commonly produces stretch marks, fat, and skin deposits that are refractory to proper diet and exercise.

While it is popular amongst women with multiple pregnancies, abdominoplasty also provides excellent results for men, and women without a history of pregnancy. Regardless of your body type, tightening of the abdominal musculature, and removal of excess skin and fat commonly provides improved self image and self confidence. Abdominoplasty is undertaken by our surgeons at the Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our privately owned, fully licensed, certified, and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located here in the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Fluctuations in weight, aging, and heredity can result in loose, sagging, droopy skin on the undersides of the upper arms. Fat deposits and excess skin that may have lost elasticity in the upper arms can frequently result in an undesirable "batwing"-like appearance. This loose, saggy skin will often persist in spite of weight loss and improved fitness, even when the underlying muscle tone of the upper arm has been improved. Arm Lift (brachioplasty) surgery can help to correct this loose, droopy appearance of the upper arm. ..An arm lift reduces the excess skin and underlying fat that occur between the elbow and the underarm region. This procedure reshapes the arm, resulting in more normal contours, smoother skin, and a more proportionate and toned appearance. Many patients say that they enjoy expanded fashion choices following arm lift surgery, and they often describe a resulting enhancement of self-confidence. A scar on the inside of the upper arm is the tradeoff for this improved image. ..Arm lift surgery can be performed alone or in conjunction with other body-contouring procedures such as liposuction. Arm lifts are performed in Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our privately owned, fully-licensed, certified and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center, located in the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

Fat Grafting / Brazilian Butt Lift

While traditionally fat is viewed as our enemy, it can be employed as our friend. Specifically, removal of unwanted fat can be utilized to improve facial and body contours through surgical fat grafting. Our physicians can remove excess, unwanted fat through nearly scarless incisions, and then place the fat into appropriate position with the appropriate volume.

Fat grafting procedures are very popular in the face and neck, as they create a permanent youthful look when placed appropriately. As well, great fanfare has surrounded fat grafting in regards to buttock augmentation and rejuvenation. Commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, fat grafting can be utilized to produce a more youthful, desirable




Liposuction / Liposculpture

Liposuction (also known as lipoplasty) is the surgical removal of fat from areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Such areas frequently include hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, calves and ankles, neck, chin and facial areas. Because it is a highly effective procedure, liposuction has become the most commonly performed surgical procedure undertaken by plastic surgeons in the United States. Most liposuction surgery can be performed in an outpatient setting; the majority of liposuction done by Drs. Lex, Quigley, and Durkin is performed in Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, an outpatient surgery facility conveniently located one floor beneath Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona.

Liposuction is commonly performed on both women and men. It is not a weight reduction technique and is best suited to individuals of relatively normal weight who have pockets of fat that cause certain areas of the body to appear out of proportion. such pockets of fat may not be responsive to changes in diet or exercise. In some cases, liposuction may be the only way to eliminate them.

The latest advancement in liposuction, Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL), is available at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona. The Lysonics 2000 UAL system uses ultrasonic vibrations to fragment and "melt' fatty pockets prior to removal from the body. UAL is an exciting addition to the realm of plastic surgery, allowing our doctors to formally sculpture your figure to your liking.

Liposuction/liposculpture procedures are very popular among young and middle aged men and women, and are performed in Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our privately owned, fully licensed, certified, and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff. Contact us at your convenience for a complimentary consult regarding liposuction/liposculpture at any of our eight Northern Arizona locations.

"Mommie Makeover"

Our surgeons take significant pride in offering mommie makeovers to Northern Arizona.
