Abdominoplasty surgery—also called tummy tuck surgery—enhances the appearance of the abdominal region by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying musculature. This procedure creates a slimmer, toned “tummy” region. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and it usually takes 2.5 hours to complete. Patients should typically expect to take at least the first week off after surgery in order to optimize their recovery and results. As the swelling begins to subside, most patients are ecstatic to see their slimmer, flatter, and more toned abdominal contours emerge.

Liposuction is a versatile procedure designed to remove pockets of unwanted fat from various regions of the body, including the hips, abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and neck. It is typically performed as an outpatient treatment under light sedation or general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Hamilton will use a thin metal tube—called a cannula—to break up and suction away fat cells in targeted regions after initially melting them with an energy device. She can also sculpt the remaining fat for a smoother, flatter contour. The procedure generally lasts for a few hours, depending on how much fat is being removed and how many areas are being treated. Most patients are able to return to work within a few days, and they often enjoy their fat-reduction results for many years—or even a lifetime!

The Miami Thong Lift is a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to sculpt and lift the buttocks for a natural, thong-ready silhouette. Inspired by the iconic curves of South Beach, this innovative treatment enhances the shape of the lower buttocks with subtle refinement, creating a seamless, youthful appearance. Unlike a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which focuses on adding volume, the Miami Thong Lift prioritizes contouring for a more defined, elegant result. Using discreet incisions hidden in the gluteal crease, the procedure minimizes visible scarring while delivering transformative outcomes with a shorter recovery time. Perfect for those seeking a refined aesthetic and improved confidence, the Miami Thong Lift represents a new era in body contouring.

An arm lift—also known as brachioplasty—addresses sagging skin and excess fat to improve the contours of the upper arms for a more toned aesthetic. During the procedure, you will likely be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Hamilton will carefully remove excess skin and fat before tightening the remaining tissues. Liposuction may also be incorporated as needed. Strenuous arm movements should be avoided for the first few weeks after surgery. Most patients report a significant improvement in confidence and self-image following brachioplasty.

A thigh lift is designed to reduce excess skin and fat in the thigh region for a slimmer, smoother upper leg aesthetic. Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Hamilton can treat the inner and/or outer thigh area. Patients should plan to take at least the first week after surgery off in order to promote healing and optimize their results. Once the initial swelling subsides, patients can begin to enjoy their leaner, more proportionate thigh contours.

A mommy makeover is a fully customizable treatment designed to address many of the resulting cosmetic concerns that may occur after pregnancy or breastfeeding. During a consultation with Dr. Hamilton, a customized surgical plan will be developed that is specifically tailored to your unique needs and goals. In many cases, a mommy makeover includes an abdominoplasty and a breast surgery — a lift, augmentation, or reduction to restore the breasts to their pre-pregnancy form and enhance them. The breasts and abdomen are the regions that are typically most affected by pregnancy. Based on your aesthetic goals, other body contouring procedures—such as liposuction and arm, thigh, and buttock lifts—can also be incorporated into your treatment plan.

A buttock lift can help improve the gluteal contours for a firmer, more toned aesthetic. Depending on the needs and aesthetic goals of the patient, a butt lift can either be performed on its own or it can be combined with a thigh lift and/or tummy tuck for more dramatic lower body contouring. During the procedure, Dr. Hamilton will remove excess skin and fat from the region. She will then lift the remaining skin and contour the remaining fat for a firmer, more youthful buttock appearance. Dr. Hamilton also offers non-surgical buttock augmentation.

For many women, waist definition is key in achieving a balanced, feminine silhouette. When lifestyle efforts like fitness and nutrition can’t deliver the contour you envision, rib remodeling offers a unique solution, quietly sculpting the waist through anatomical refinement, not implants or compression garments. At Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery, rib remodeling is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances natural proportions. Up to 8 inches of waist cinching is often created through tiny access points that leave no visible scars. The result is a graceful hourglass shape that feels uniquely yours—subtle, soft, and confidently refined.
