Breast Procedures: Lifts, augmentation, or reduction to restore shape and volume.
Tummy Tuck: Tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a flatter stomach.
Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
Other Procedures: Depending on your needs, Dr. Alford may recommend additional options, such as arm lifts or fat transfer.
