Procedures for the Body and Breasts

Dr. Cooper's most popular breast enhancement procedures include breast augmentation, breast lifts and breast reductions. She also performs body contouring procedures including abdominoplasty and liposuction. In many cases, her patients choose to combine these breast and body procedures for a more comprehensive makeover. A highlight of just a few popular surgical options:

• Breast Augmentation: If you are unhappy with the size of your breasts, Dr. Cooper can help you look your best and feel more confident. Offering both saline and silicone gel breast implants, she will walk you through all of the considerations for this procedure so that you can feel assured that the breast size and shape you envisioned will be the one you achieve following surgery.
• Liposuction: By breaking up and removing areas of unwanted fat, Dr. Cooper can help you achieve the body shape you've always wanted. This procedure can remove excess fat in areas such as the arms, chest, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs or knees. It's important for New Orleans liposuction patients to keep in mind that choosing a highly qualified medical provider is essential for their safety and satisfaction with the results.
• Abdominoplasty: Also known as a tummy tuck, this procedure removes excess fat and skin and retightens abdominal muscles to form a stronger and more sculpted abdominal wall. Many women choose this procedure after pregnancy, and it is also popular with patients who have achieved dramatic weight loss.
