We’ve all heard the old saying, “A woman’s work is never done.” Well I’d like to change that to “A mother’s work is never done.” From driving the kids to sports practice (and doctors’ appointments, playdates, music lessons, field trips…), to grocery shopping, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning the house, managing the bills, helping with homework, plus getting your own work done, it’s easy to feel that every minute of the day is spent doing things for others.

Now, after dedicating years of your life to caring for your children, you deserve to care for yourself with a makeover. All of the changes that come with pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can be beautifully improved with a Mommy Makeover! For more information on a Mommy Makeover, download our free fact sheet.

For many of us as we age, our stomach becomes loose and flabby, then starts to sag and protrude. There are many reasons for this, the most common being: heredity, pregnancy, surgery and losing a significant amount of weight. When this happens, both men and women come to me seeking ways to help reverse the “middle age bulge” that has crept up on them. My recommendation? A tummy tuck.

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck — or abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgery procedure that extracts loose, flabby skin, tightens stomach muscle and contours fat, transforming the midsection into a flatter, smoother abdominal surface.

Would you like a flatter, tighter, more toned tummy? Would you like to look and feel better in bathing suits and lingerie? Would you like to get your pre-pregnancy body back? If you answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, I encourage you to consider getting a tummy tuck.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, extracts excess fat and skin from the abdomen and restores weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more attractive midsection.

For women who want larger, fuller breasts, breast implants are a safe, highly successful way to get the breast size they’ve always wanted. Implants are also an excellent way to augment underdeveloped breasts, restore breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children, make breasts more symmetrical if one is significantly larger than the other, and reconstruct breasts after a mastectomy. However, although both silicone and saline breast implants are FDA-approved and safe, I recommend that my patients come in for a yearly check-up. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Many of my patients are self-conscious about their thighs, wishing their legs in that area were thinner, trimmer and more toned. For some, no matter how much they exercise or eat a healthy diet, they still are not able to get rid of stubborn fat in the “saddlebag” or “inner thigh gap” areas. If you also have this problem, you may want to consider CoolSculpting, the only FDA-approved technology of its kind, proven to reduce the size of thighs by freezing away stubborn layers of fat on the inner and outer thighs without surgery or downtime. For more information on CoolSculpting, download our free fact sheet!

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that freezes away stubborn fat by gently targeting and cooling unwanted fat cells in the selected area to produce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction of approximately 25% of fat bulges. It is particularly effective in the treatment of sagging fat pockets on the tummy, back, hips, thighs and arms. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery or “downtime.” For more information on CoolSculpting, download our free fact sheet!

Do you have areas of fat that simply will not go away, no matter how much you diet or exercise? Are you tired of your love handles, belly pooch and/or saddle bags? Do you long for a leaner, trimmer, tighter silhouette but do not want to have a surgical procedure to get it? If you answered yes to these questions, CoolSculpting may be for you. For more information on CoolSculpting, download our free fact sheet!

For many of my patients, men and women, despite their best efforts at healthy eating and regular exercise, they still have pockets of unsightly, unwanted fat cells that simply will not go away. In these cases, I often recommend a highly-successful, non-invasive treatment called CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that freezes stubborn fat cells and expels them from your body. The only FDA-approved technology of its kind, CoolSculpting achieves a noticeable reduction of approximately 20-25% of the fat bulges in the treated areas — without needles, surgery or “downtime.” For more information on CoolSculpting, download our free fact sheet!

In my plastic surgery practice, many women come to me wanting larger breasts. However, I also have many patients who would like their breasts to be smaller. Very large breasts, especially on small-framed women, can cause physical discomfort, neck pain, back pain, rashes, problems with exercise, and even embarrassment. 

 If you feel your breasts are too large and have become uncomfortable, breast reduction surgery can bring about dramatic, life-altering changes for you. As well as reducing the size and weight of your breasts, this procedure also improves the shape of your breasts and nipple areas, allowing you to feel good about yourself and your appearance, sometimes for the first time.

Do you have droopy, sagging breasts? Do you wish they were fuller, higher and younger-looking? Like many of my patients, you might want to consider having a breast lift, not only to improve the way your breasts look but also the way you feel about yourself as a woman. 

Breast lift surgery restores the shape and contour of breasts that have sagged as a result of:

• pregnancy
• breastfeeding
• weight loss
• aging
• gravity
• heredity
• other factors
