It starts with Halloween. Then comes Thanksgiving, the feast that includes everything from turkey to pumpkin pie. Once December hits, its a month-long extravaganza of eating and drinking up until New Year’s Day. No wonder why 10 percent of people gain more than 5 pounds over the holiday season!

Even though the opportunities to overeat are plentiful, you dont want one month of the year to determine your weight for the rest of the year. A bit of careful planning and smart choices can help you avoid excess calories from Halloween to New Years.

However, if you have been making healthy choices and still aren’t seeing the results you want, you probably need more than typical diet and exercise. A tummy tuck, liposuction or an arm lift can help you meet your goals. And what better time to do it than the holidays!

Lets take a look at a few options you have for treating yourself this holiday season.

Tummy Tuck. A tummy tuck is a very popular procedure, particularly for women who have multiple children. This procedure flattens and reshapes the abdomen by eliminating excess fat and skin. An internal girdle is then formed by tightening the muscles.

Liposuction. Liposuction is a procedure that removes unwanted fat from various areas of the body such as the outer thighs, inner thighs, knees, abdomen or waist. The most common way to perform liposuction is through tumescent fluid, but ultrasonic liposuction and laser liposuction are other options.

Arm Lift. If you dont like the saggy skin on your arms, an arm lift can help. This procedure is popular for people who have lost a lot of weight and have hanging skin as a result.

Thigh Lift. Thigh lifts can be done in conjunction with liposuction or on their own. They are best for people who have sagging skin hanging from their thighs. Also, the scars fade well with this surgery.

Body Lift. If youve lost significant weight but still have sagging skin in the buttocks, things, back and abdomen, a body lift can work wonders. Essentially, this procedure removes all excess skin from the body and gives it a firm lift.
