Breast Lift - A breast lift can give new shape to sagging breasts. Many women may notice that their breasts are no longer as firm and shapely as they once were. This can occur as the result of a variety of different factors, including the effects of pregnancy and nursing. Even women who have not given birth may notice a loss of shape in their breasts due to the forces of gravity. This is because skin often loses elasticity over time, causing the breasts to lose their shape and firmness. Through the breast lift procedure performed by Dr. Shah, the breasts can be lifted and reshaped. Women who are uncomfortable with the size of their areolas may also wish to have those areas reduce through a breast lift as well. In addition, patients who have lose breast volume following weight loss or who have small breasts may consider a breast lift in conjunction with their breast lift. Both procedures can be performed by Dr. Shah in Bakersfield and Malibu.

Liposuction - Dr. Shah also offers liposuction to assist patients who may be uncomfortable with the appearance of certain parts of their bodies. While liposuction does not serve as an alternate option for weight loss, it can help to remove fat deposits that may be present on the buttocks, abdomen, hips and thighs. Patients may also be able to benefit from liposuction on the neck, arms and face. Liposuction can be particularly effective at removing stubborn fat deposits from areas of the body that have remained resistant to diet and exercise. Following a successful liposuction, patients may notice a loss of several inches. Typically, patients are able to resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks after their procedure. Full activities can often be resumed within 6 weeks. Liposuction can be performed by Dr. Shah in Malibu as well as Bakersfield.

Tummy Tuck - A tummy tuck procedure performed by Dr. Darshan Shah can be a good option for women and men who have loose abdominal skin or excessive fat deposits. To be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, prospective patients should be in good overall shape. The procedure is performed by removing excessive skin and fat and then by tightening the abdominal wall muscles. Patients who elect to have a tummy tuck may have excess skin as a result of recent weight loss. Tummy tucks can also be ideal for women who have abdominal muscles and skin that have been stretched following multiple pregnancies. A leaner appearance can be achieved through the completion of a successful tummy tuck by Dr. Darshan Shan. In some instances, liposuction may also be performed along with a tummy tuck to receive optimal results. Dr. Shah performs liposuction in both Malibu and Bakersfield.

Breast Augmentation - A breast augmentation by Dr. Shah can be a good solution for women with small breasts. An implant of either silicone or saline can be inserted into the breasts by Dr. Shah. The final results are more contoured, shapely and larger breasts. Depending on the needs of the patient, Dr. Shah may insert the implants under existing breast tissue or under the muscles. Dr. Shah's extensive experience, including more than 8,000 procedures, has allowed him to become an expert at a variety of cosmetic surgical procedures, including breast augmentation.
