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

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.

Something I’ve found to be very helpful for my patients is when I make a short video about a plastic surgery procedure. I describe what happens during the surgery, I talk about the risks as well as the benefits, and I explain what kind of results you should expect (and not expect). To learn more about the range of body sculpting procedures I offer, click here.

Since the most commonly performed procedure in plastic surgery these days is probably liposuction, I’ve made a video about it, as well as 2 other procedures (CoolSculpting and Kybella) that are also very effective at eliminating fat cells from your body. You can read what I talk about (here in this blog) or you can watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.   

A lot of my patients tell me they really learn a lot from the free consultations I offer when I talk to them about a procedure they’re considering, especially one that involves surgery. Apparently, I explain things in a way they can understand, I tell them about the risks as well as the benefits, and I really try to understand what results they’re looking for. This way, they’re going to be happier and more satisfied with their “new” shape, especially after liposuction, one of the most popular procedures I perform. To learn more about the range of body contouring procedures I offer, click here.

Since they seem to enjoy my descriptions of what happens in the procedure and what to expect afterward, I thought I’d make a video discussing liposuction so other people can benefit, too. You can read what I talk about (here in this blog) or you can watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.

I frequently hear from my patients that they really like the way I explain plastic surgery procedures because I talk one-on-one with them, I describe what will happen in terms they can understand, and I let them know about the risks as well as the benefits of any surgery.  Since they seem to learn a lot from my explanations, I thought I’d make a video discussing the Brazilian butt lift so others can benefit, too. You can read what I talk about (here in this blog) or you can watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.

As the years go by, have your stomach, buttocks, thighs and hips started to sag? Would you like to look trimmer, firmer...and younger? If so, a lower body lift is an excellent way to remove excess skin and fat below the waistline and achieve a beautiful hourglass silhouette.

Turn back time with a lower body lift

Dramatic weight loss, weight fluctuations and/or natural aging frequently result in sagging skin in the areas below the waistline. Lower body lift surgery, sometimes done in conjunction with liposuction, is a very effective way to reduce excess fat and loose skin while also tightening and sculpting these areas, particularly the buttocks, back of the thighs, outer thighs, inner thighs, hips and abdomen.  It can also help minimize the appearance of cellulite. A lower body lift leaves only a thin scar that is discreetly located within the bikini area.

Alternatively, if you decide not to have a full lower body lift, a buttock lift or thigh lift can be performed to tighten sagging muscles or remove excess skin in these areas.

Do you have sagging skin and stubborn excess fat you’d love to get rid of? Would you like to feel more confident in a bathing suit? Are you ready to look trimmer, firmer and younger? With body contouring surgery, now you can. There are many options available; click here to learn more.

Whether you want to remove loose skin and excess fat; have fuller, rounder buttocks; enlarge and lift your breasts; have a flatter, more toned midsection; get rid of saddle bags and tummy rolls; have a more contoured, hour glass-shaped waist and hips; or all of the above, this might be the perfect time for you to have one or more body sculpting procedures.
