Services
Body Contouring
Body contouring reshapes the silhouette through surgical and non-surgical fat removal. Ideal for patients struggling with stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise, this treatment offers customized solutions like liposuction and skin tightening. Patients achieve natural-looking results that enhance confidence and proportion.
BodyTite
BodyTite uses radiofrequency to melt fat and tighten skin simultaneously. This minimally invasive procedure targets areas like arms, thighs, and abdomen with small incisions, reducing scarring and downtime. Results appear gradually over 6-12 months with minimal discomfort.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while repairing weakened abdominal muscles. Commonly sought after weight loss or pregnancy, this procedure creates a flatter, toned midsection. Muscle tightening improves core strength and posture alongside aesthetic benefits.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reduces enlarged or asymmetrical labia to alleviate physical discomfort and boost self-confidence. The procedure addresses irritation during activities and improves intimate aesthetics. Recovery includes minimal downtime with long-lasting functional and emotional benefits.
Urodynamic Testing
Urodynamic testing evaluates bladder function to diagnose incontinence causes. By measuring pressure and flow rates, this diagnostic tool guides personalized treatment plans. Patients gain clarity on conditions affecting urinary health and receive targeted solutions.

Report
I am a LPN (14yrs) and I appreciate the attentive and detailed care and concern of my nurse practitioner Fabeola. She takes notes and asks questions showing complete concern. Very professional office and thorough. From the front desk to the providers this office provides great service. I would only caution the ultrasound tech to be mindful of asking personal questions of her patients while in the hallway as she did me the first day I came to have a scan. Looking forward to setting and reaching more health and fitness goals with this women's clinic!

Report
I highly recommend Women's Health Institute for those looking for a gynecologist, or for those of us having leg pain/swelling! From the time I walk in the door, I feel like family- not "just another patient" like other doctor's offices where I've been rushed in and out as quickly as possible. Dr. Umerah is the best OBGYN I have ever seen. He has always listened to my concerns, and unlike some other gynecologists I've been to in the Macon area, he seems to truly care about his patients and makes me feel like my opinions and concerns about my body are VALID. Any time I've had questions, he's taken
