Are you unhappy with how you look in bathing suits or lingerie? Are you ready to lose your tummy rolls and love handles? Would you really like to have a sexy, toned, flat stomach and trim midsection? A tummy tuck may very well be the beautiful solution you’ve been looking for.

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is an effective, highly successful way to reduce excess fat and loose skin, and tighten and tone weakened or separated stomach muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, flatter midsection.

Tummy tuck surgery also strengthens weakened stomach muscles, improves the look and shape of the belly button, takes away fat and loose skin, defines the waist, creates a tighter abdomen and enables clothes to fit more comfortably and attractively. To learn more about the range of body sculpting  procedures I offer, click here.

12 Questions to ask before deciding to have tummy tuck surgery

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for many women, beauty starts with a pretty nose. And if your nose is too big, too small, crooked, bumpy, hooked, or just doesn’t fit your face, it’s often hard to feel beautiful or have high self-esteem.

For patients who come to me saying they are unhappy with their nose, I offer a proven, effective, long-lasting solution: rhinoplasty (commonly called a nose job).  

Am I a good candidate for nose reshaping surgery?

If you’re trying to decide whether to have a nose job, here are some questions I ask my patients to make sure they would be good candidates for this procedure:

Do you have squishy, flabby tummy rolls? Have you developed stretch marks from weight gain or pregnancy? Would you like to look and feel better in bathing suits and lingerie? If you answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, I encourage you to consider getting a tummy tuck.

Tummy tuck: a way to win the “battle of the bulge”

Having children is one of the greatest joys of a woman’s life, but pregnancy and breastfeeding do take a toll on her body, often resulting in drooping and smaller-than-before breasts, stubborn fat deposits, a flabby and protruding stomach, loose skin, sagging buttocks and unwanted thigh “saddlebags.” 

A Mommy Makeover can help correct these problems with a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures including:

• breast augmentation
• breast lift
• liposuction
• butt augmentation
• Brazilian butt lift
• tummy tuck
• lower body lift

Whether you decide to have one body contouring  procedures or a combination at the same time, a Mommy Makeover helps women of all ages and body types regain their pre-pregnancy shape, or better yet, achieve a slimmer, tighter, more toned body than they had before. To learn more about the range of body sculpting  procedures I offer, click here.

Is your nose too large for your face? Is it crooked? Does it have a bump in the middle, or a hook at the end? Or have you just never liked it?

If any of these ring true for you, there is a proven, highly effective way to get the beautiful, shapely nose you’ve always wanted: rhinoplasty (plastic surgery performed on the nose).

Nose reshaping surgery (commonly called a nose job) is usually performed to alter the size and shape of the bridge and tip of the nose. Some of my patients also want to narrow the base of their nose or reduce the size of their nostrils. Whatever type of nose you might be seeking, my goal is to give you a natural-looking, flattering nose that fits your face and your personality, helping you feel beautiful and self-confident.

Losing a significant amount of weight is a great accomplishment, giving you a new body, better health, more energy, increased self-image and a renewed outlook on life. However, what many people don’t realize is that there’s also a downside to extreme weight loss.

In many cases, people who lose 50 pounds or more are left with loose, sagging skin, which can be very frustrating. After working hard to get a “new body,” it’s discouraging for both men and women to have folds of skin hanging on them, much like their old large-size clothes did. Also, excess skin is a reminder for many of their old life and the emotional issues they were struggling with when they were at a higher weight.

In addition, as well as being unsightly and embarrassing, saggy skin has negative health consequences. It can cause rashes, chafing, infections and back pain. It can also keep people from being as active as they want to be, which not only affects their health but might make it easier for the weight to come back.

My recommendation in these instances? A tummy tuck.

How would you like to erase years from your face without surgery? Now you can, with Botox. It is a great way to have an even more beautiful face.

Botox noticeably improves the appearance of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth, and vertical forehead creases between the eyes. Injected into the lower face and neck muscles, Botox can improve some of the visible signs of aging in these areas as well. In addition, Botox  has many important benefits beyond beauty.

Would you like to look better in a bathing suit? Have you longed for a trimmer, sleeker, more toned tummy? Are you ready to get rid of the love handles and tummy rolls? If the answer is yes, you may want to consider CoolSculpting, a non-surgical procedure that dramatically trims and tones your tummy and waist by freezing and then eliminating stubborn layers of fat.

Would you like to look years younger, but without surgery or facial scars? Now you can, with Botox, one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed today. Botox is very popular with a large number of my patients. After a treatment, they often tell me how happy  they are, not only with how much younger it makes them look, but how much younger it makes them feel.

Botox noticeably improves the appearance of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth, and vertical forehead creases between the eyes. In addition, Botox injected into the lower face and neck muscles can improve some of the visible signs of aging in these areas as well. 

What is Botox and how does it work?

If you've tried dieting and exercise but still have stubborn, localized areas of fat that simply won’t go away, liposuction could be the answer you’ve been looking for. It slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by decreasing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.

Since fat cells do not reproduce, once they are reduced through liposuction, they will not be replaced—great news for many of my patients, which is probably why liposuction is today’s most popular cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
