Los Angeles Breast Enhancement
Dr. Spring understands why so many women in Los Angeles choose breast enhancement. Everyone deserves to love the way they look and feel comfortable with their body, but women who are unhappy with their breasts tend to feel the opposite: self-conscious, uncomfortable, and unfeminine. By improving breast size, symmetry, and shape, breast enhancement procedures offer women the opportunity to love their body in a way they’ve only dreamed of.
Dr. Spring takes the time to help women understand every aspect of their procedure. For example, she explains to her breast augmentation patients in Los Angeles how to choose the breast implant that will deliver the most natural-looking results. She helps women with disproportionately large breasts understand how a breast reduction can ease neck and back pain. For women who have lost breast volume and begun to notice some sagging, Dr. Spring will discuss the advantages of combining a breast augmentation and breast lift.
Body Contouring with Dr. Springs
Dr. Spring offers a wide variety of body contouring procedures, including tummy tuck, thigh lift, and liposuction for Los Angeles men and women. She also offers procedures for men and women who have undergone significant weight loss.
The goal of most body contouring procedures is to smooth and sculpt the body by removing fat and excess skin that is resistant to diet and exercise. Body contouring can be used on almost any part of the body – some of the most popular target areas are the stomach and abdomen, thighs, upper arms, and buttocks.
If you’re interested in a body contouring procedure, Dr. Spring will take the time to explain the different options to you. For example, liposuction and a tummy tuck are both designed to sculpt and tone the abdominal area, but they are very different procedures that produce distinct results. She will work with you to choose the right procedure for your aesthetic goals.
Safety, Comfort, and Compassion
Dr. Spring performs all surgical procedures at fully accredited surgical facilities, working with anesthesiologists who are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology. Dr. Spring is supported by experienced office staff and registered nurses who share her goal of providing superior patient care and service. When you choose Dr. Spring, you can be sure that you will be given the personalized attention, respect, and compassion that you deserve.
