LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures and is used to sculpt the body by removing undesirable fat. Liposuction can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods. Dr. Connors performs Liposuction in the following areas:
| Neck | Hips | Buttocks |
| Chin | Flanks | Knees |
| Arms | Thighs | |
| Abdomen | Lower Back |
Dr. Connors’ fellow surgeons and his past patients highly respect his work and refer patients to him for revisional procedures to help correct problems or disappointments with previous surgeries.
TUMMY TUCK/ABDOMINOPLASTY
Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles. This procedure is popular among both men and women. It can also be very useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
Depending on the amount of excess skin and fat that is removed, there are three types of Abdominoplasty: Mini, Standard, and Extended. Dr. Connors is known for his precise scar placement. He is extremely detail oriented and strives to place the procedure incision scar so that it is not visible when wearing a bikini.
Dr. Connors is dedicated to precision. Dr. Connors has developed his own unique methodology in his abdominoplasty procedures with a specific concentration on abdomen and waist “sculpting” that provides most patients with a highly contoured, muscular, “six pack” result.
BODY LIFT
Encompassing a variety of approaches and options, Dr. Connors's body lift procedures help patients improve their shape dramatically by correcting many of the unwelcome effects of rapid or significant weight loss. A body lift is typically performed utilizing a continuous incision around the entire beltline. Through this incision, a tummy tuck is done as well as removal of excess skin and fat around the entire lower waistline including the lower back/buttock area.
Dr. Connors utilizes unique techniques that he has developed to provide patients with a highly contoured and sculptured result.
BRAZILIAN BUTTOCK LIFT
There are a number of buttock augmentation procedures, but the Brazilian Buttock Lift is the method most frequently chosen by Dr. Connors. The Brazilian Buttock Lift uses excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, lower back or thighs. Fat is removed with very gentle, low-vacuum liposuction using a special cannula (thin tube) to protect the living fat cells. The harvested fat is purified and transferred into the layers of the buttocks producing the augmented shape desired.The Perfect Candidate - Fat Grafting is one of the easiest ways to add fullness to almost any buttock shape. To create the desired look, this procedure can add fullness to any part of the buttocks, or even the entire buttocks. Fat must be available in other areas of the body to be removed and used in the grafting process and Dr. Connors will evaluate your candidacy at the time of your consultation.
Recovery –Dr. Connors’ Brazilian Buttock Lift patients are placed in post-operative garments for compression immediately following surgery. If travelling from out-of-town, patients will need to remain in the Atlanta area for 14 days after surgery for post-operative care and attention. During this time, discomfort is mild, and easily relieved by medication. After two weeks, patients are typically able to sit down (gently!) on their new bottom and are able to resume light work soon thereafter. Our patients resume full activity three to four weeks after surgery.
MOMMY MAKEOVER (Post-Maternity Breast and Body Contouring)
While pregnancy can be a beautiful and wondrous experience, many women long for the body they had before they became a mom. Dr. John Connors's Mommy Makeover customizes a set of cosmetic surgery procedures to refresh your appearance after pregnancy and breastfeeding. These procedures are collectively called “mommy makeovers” or post-maternity breast and body reshaping. They include: Breast Augmentation; Breast Reduction; Breast Lift; Tummy Tuck; and Liposuction.
Dr. Connors is very experienced in providing women with Mommy Makeovers that help to rejuvenate their breasts and tummies to the youthful firmness that they enjoyed before having children. Dr. Connors has also helped restore the bodies of mothers of twins and triplets through his Mommy Makeover procedures.
LABIAPLASTY
Dr. Connors’ labiaplasty or V-lift patients are typically seeking rejuvenation of large labia, asymmetric labia, or post-pregnancy related female genital issues. Labiaplasty permits the reduction of large labia (labia minora and labia majora) to reduce their outward appearance and correct misshapenness or irregularities. Dr. Connors’ labiaplasty surgery procedures leave very little scarring and give patients’ renewed sensitivity, personal confidence and enhanced satisfaction in their relationship.
