Smooth contours from shoulder to elbow.✨

This patient underwent a brachioplasty (arm lift) to address excess skin and laxity in the upper arm. Dr. Xu’s technique focuses on a soft, natural transition at the elbow and an incision designed to avoid tightness or irregular contours, for a smooth, even result along the entire arm.

Can you keep your current size?

Yes! A breast lift can be performed without reducing your cup size.✨

Both a breast lift and a breast reduction elevate the breast. The difference is in the goal. A lift reshapes the breast, restores a more youthful contour, and repositions the ni***es and breast footprint. A reduction also removes tissue to decrease cup size.

For patients who want to keep their current volume, a lift alone can restore shape and position while retaining their full size.

“Can a larger implant still look natural?”

The answer is yes!✨Dr. Xu is known for her small breast beauty aesthetic, but natural-looking results aren’t about choosing smaller implants. They’re about designing the right approach for each patient’s anatomy.

For this patient, Dr. Xu used 625cc Motiva Ergonomix Full Profile implants placed under the muscle, creating a soft, gradual upper pole and well-proportioned result.

Implant size is only part of the equation. Profile, tissue coverage, and precise pocket creation all play an important role in the final outcome.

Refining beneath the jaw, building at the chin.✨

This patient underwent submental liposuction with facial fat transfer to the chin. Fullness beneath the jaw was reduced while her own fat added natural projection to the chin, creating more balanced lower face proportions.
