The term 'plastic' or 'cosmetic surgery' actually covers a variety of surgical and chemical procedures which alter the body's outward appearance. Procedures are used to shape certain body parts such as the breast or nose, soften skin tone to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, and to correct problems resulting from accident or disease.

Plastic surgery procedures are generally safe and relatively painless when performed by an experienced surgeon, although each procedure is different. With all surgical procedures, there are certain degrees of risk and uncertainty. During an initial consultation La Belle will discuss your procedure with you in detail, describing the realistic potential outcome and any possible risks involved.

Almost all of the procedures listed are performed at our facilities. Most procedures are performed using only a local anesthesia, others are performed with intravenous sedation. Certain procedures will require general anesthesia. The decision concerning the type of anesthesia to be used will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.

There are many reasons why women and men have plastic surgery performed on their breasts and bodies. For some women, their breasts may be too small, for others it may be a need to correct an imbalance or perhaps reconstruct their breasts after a mastectomy. For men, it may be a need to reduce breast size.

Whatever your decision, your consideration of breast procedures, for either reconstruction or augmentation, should be based on realistic expectations of the results.

La Belle performs conventional breast augmentation as well as endoscopic (minimally invasive) breast augmentation in which a small incision is made in the armpit and a video camera is used to guide the surgery. The result is a beautifully enhanced breast without any scar.

In addition to these items listed below, there are many other cosmetic skin improvements and conditions resulting from medical traumas that we may be able to correct.
