Possibly due to the popular influences of Latin American culture where more emphasis is placed on the hips and buttocks, more American women are now choosing to have a Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation). This body sculpting  procedure is an excellent way to achieve a fuller, firmer, higher and more shapely derrière. It also can help women attain a more pleasing balance between the shape, size and contour of their butt in proportion to the rest of their body.

It's really important to me that after a plastic surgery procedure, my patients are happy with their “new” shape.  Over the years, what I've found is that the more informed a patient is about  a procedure, especially the benefits, risks and what results to expect, the more satisfied they are with the outcome. To learn about the range of body enhancing procedures I offer, click here.

Since people are telling me they really value the short educational videos I've been making about certain procedures, I've decided to do another series. This particular one is about how liposuction works, and how a person's age can influence the results. You can read what I talk about (below) or you can watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.

In my more than 20 years performing tummy tuck surgery, I’ve heard lots of reasons for deciding to have this highly successful body contouring procedure. For many of my patients, removing loose skin, tummy bulges and stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise have not been able to erase helps them feel younger, slimmer, more energetic...and more beautiful. 

Are you unhappy with the way your body has changed after having children? Have the pounds added up as the breasts have sagged and the thighs have thickened? Would you like your pre-pregnancy body back, or even something better?

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

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.

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.

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.

More and more these days, full, round, curvy buttocks are something many women highly value. When exercise and supportive undergarments fail to fix a droopy, flat or poorly contoured rear end, many of my patients choose to have butt augmentation, or a Brazilian butt lift.

Thanks to Latin American influences where more emphasis is placed on the hips and buttocks, more American women are now choosing to have butt augmentation surgery. In most cases, butt augmentation is performed by taking fat cells from areas where there is some to spare; these cells are cleaned and purified, then carefully injected into and through layers of the buttocks to create a more curvaceous derriėre. For more information about butt augmentation surgery, watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.
