She offers a wide variety of cosmetic surgery procedures ranging from breast work, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift and breast reconstruction after cancer or injury; as well as body contouring procedures like liposuction, liposculpture, abdominoplasty (both the full tummy tuck and mini-tummy tuck, as well as tummy tucks for men) and post-bariatric lifts of the arms, thighs, abdomen and buttocks; not to mention all areas of face surgery including facelift, eyelid lift and rhinoplasty. She even focuses on the sensitive issues plaguing so many women through vaginal rejuvenation, labiaplasty and vaginal tightening.

Brazilian Butt Augmentation
The Brazilian Butt Augmentation, more commonly called a Brazilian Butt Lift is used to enhance a patient's buttocks naturally using fat that has been liposuctioned from another area of the body, often called a donor area.
Many of Dr. Vu's patients prefer this procedure over traditional buttock augmentations that use silicone implants due to its more natural look, comfort and safety. The Brazilian Butt Augmentation begins with liposculpture of the buttock area. This not only removes the excess fat, but also sculpts a more aesthetically pleasing look to the rear-end. Should more fat be necessary to complete the desired look, liposuction is performed in other areas of the body such as love handles, lower abdomen, hips and thighs.
Once the fat have been collected and processed, Dr. Vu performs a careful evaluation of the individual's buttocks in order to determine the best surgical approach to achieve the most ideal and most aesthetically pleasing buttocks. She then carefully and quite strategically positions the fat within the existing fatty tissue of the buttocks producing the fuller, rounder more sensual result.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Abdominoplasty, or more commonly known as tummy tuck is a great solution for someone who has a loose and stretched out abdomen that seems resistant to diet and exercise. Whether caused by excessive weight gain and loss, child birth or simply age, gravity and genetics, Dr. Vu will discuss with you all your options for a successful procedure and ultimately restore your belly area to a more firm and contoured physique.
And tummy tucks are not just for women; many men are taking advantage of the benefits and boost in self-esteem a tummy tuck can bring.
Performed under general anesthesia, there are several types of abdominoplasty or tummy tuck options available:
Mini-abdominoplasty or mini-tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed when someone is within 8 to 15 lbs of their goal weight, and is simply troubled by a pooch belly that doesn't seem to go away. A mini-tummy tuck removes the small bit of stretched out and pudgy skin from the lower abdominal area, with no manipulation of the underlying abdominal muscles.
A modified abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses just the area of skin that requires repair or just the underlying muscle wall.
The standard or traditional abdominoplasty, also called full tummy tuck is a more extensive cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses all the issues relating to the abdominal area. An incision is made from hip bone to hip bone allowing the plastic surgeon to tighten the underlying abdominal muscles and remove quite a bit of damaged and loose skin. If necessary, liposuction will be used to remove any lingering fat deposits.
