Abdominoplasty
Dr. Mark Mofid performs the abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, procedure for patients who would like to eliminate a protruding abdomen for a shapelier figure. Healthy men and women who are bothered by excess skin or large fat deposits in their abdominal areas can vastly improve the looks of their bodies and appear more slender after abdominoplasty surgery. To learn more about this body contouring option, visit the page dedicated to abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
Liposuction
Small fat deposits that are unresponsive to diet and exercise may be eliminated with liposuction. In liposuction surgery, excess fat is gently sucked out of problem areas to sculpt the body and give it a smoother, more attractive contour. Liposuction should not be used for weight loss, but rather as a way for patients to exercise aesthetic control over difficult-to-manage areas such as the hips, thighs, stomach, underarms, breasts, and chin.

Post-Bariatric Body Contouring
After a significant amount of weight has been lost through bariatric surgery or other means, Dr. Mark Mofid can remove excess skin to create a taut, natural-looking appearance. Skin and excess tissue is removed from the abdomen, arms, thighs, and other areas requiring treatment. This procedure is tailored to the needs of each patient based on the amount of tissue to be removed.

Inner Thigh Lift
Weight loss or the loss of skin elasticity can result in flabby skin on the inner thighs. Excess tissue on the inner thighs can be removed with an inner thigh lift. Dr. Mark Mofid excises this tissue to create a taut and firm leg contour. The thighs will be sculpted to achieve a more toned appearance. Incisions will be placed within the groin crease or in combination with incisions along the insides of the thighs so that they will not be visible to most people.
Arm Lift
In the arm lift procedure, also known as an arm tuck or brachioplasty, Dr. Mark Mofid removes the excess skin and fat that contribute to a flabby appearance from the upper arms. Men and women who prefer to have toned, firm arms may visit the practice of Dr. Mofid in San Diego near La Jolla for body contouring consultations. An initial consultation is a patient's first step towards addressing the problem of excess tissue in the upper arm area.
San Diego and La Jolla Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery
The Brazilian Butt Lift is an augmentation procedure of the buttocks that combines the excellent results obtainable through liposuction of the abdomen, hips and thighs with grafting techniques that create a more youthful and prominent buttocks and a more sensual body profile. Dr. Mofid removes fat from selected areas of the body, purifies the fat, and then reinjects selected donor fat cells into the buttocks. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of the buttocks so that it appears lifted and perky.
Candidates
People with good donor fat (a little extra fullness in the abdomen and hips), and a flat buttocks make the best candidates for Brazilian butt lift. This is because the fat that is harvested through liposuction techniques is prepared and re-injected into the buttocks. Very thin people without enough donor fat in the abdomen, hips or thighs may be better candidates for buttock implants.
Procedure
The buttock is first contoured by performing liposuction in the areas around the buttocks to make them stand out more. Common areas for donor fat include the back- directly above the buttocks, the abdomen and the thighs. Note that even the liposuction alone will give your lower body a more attractive look.
The fat suctioned from these areas is carefully processed and purified such that only a fraction of the donor fat removed will qualify for re-injection to the buttocks. The fat is placed or transferred into the buttocks with special cannulas.
Dr. Mofid injects small amounts of purified fat into different areas of the buttocks and at various depths so that the patient will get the highest permanent absorption rate. Thus, the procedure usually involves 'hundreds' of micro fat injections. Correct injection methods are essential to achieve a uniform, smooth, natural appearance to the buttocks.
Results
The final results will be visible several months after surgery as natural swelling and some absorption of fluid and fat occurs. Patients are generally able to return to work in a week. A special body garment is worn for 3 weeks to help control swelling and guide the body’s tissues into position. The small incisions used to insert cannulas begin to fade just a few weeks after surgery. The final results include an attractive contour of the buttocks and more sensual form of the entire mid and lower body.
Male Pectoral Implants
A strong, toned body is a sign of masculinity and strength. For some men, however, building the pectoral muscles can be extremely difficult. Dr. Mark Mofid offers male pectoral implants at his practice to enhance the male chest with a more muscular appearance. These implants are designed specifically for men and mimic well developed pectoral muscles. Male pectoral implants are natural-looking and made of silicone. Contact Dr. Mark Mofid's plastic surgery practice for more information about this procedure.
Labiaplasty
Many women experience discomfort and self-consciousness due to large, thick, or asymmetrical labia. Dr. Mark Mofid can surgically reshape the labia to improve their appearance at a surgical center in the San Diego or La Jolla area. Labiaplasty is a delicate procedure requiring the artistry and precision of a skilled labiaplasty doctor. Women may receive, confidential labiaplasty consultations at Dr. Mofid's practice. Please contact Dr. Mofid's office for more information about this procedure or to schedule your consultation.
