Procedure Options
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is the perfect solution for a flatter, more toned lower abdomen without a full abdominoplasty. This procedure is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity or a lower belly pooch that won't go away with diet and exercise.
Dr. Willis uses a smaller incision than a traditional tummy tuck, targeting only the lower abdomen to remove excess skin and tighten underlying muscles. This means less scarring, a quicker recovery, and more natural-looking results while still delivering the firm, sculpted midsection you want.
Awake Arm Lift
An awake arm lift can tighten and contour your upper arms—without the risks of general anesthesia. This procedure removes excess skin and reshapes the arms for a sleek, toned look, all while keeping you comfortable and alert throughout the process.
Dr. Willis uses a combination of local anesthesia and gentle sedation, for a safer, quicker recovery with minimal discomfort. He removes sagging skin by making a carefully placed incision and tightens the underlying tissue to create natural, defined contours. In many cases, this can be combined with liposuction for even smoother, more sculpted results.
Awake Liposuction
Awake liposuction is a revolutionary way to remove stubborn fat and contour your body without general anesthesia. This gentle, minimally invasive procedure allows you to stay comfortable and aware while Dr. Willis sculpts your ideal shape with precision.
Dr. Willis targets and removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks using local anesthesia and advanced liposuction techniques. Because you remain awake, the process is safer, involves less downtime, and allows a faster, more comfortable recovery than traditional liposuction.
