What is The Mommy Makeover?

“The Mommy Makeover is a procedure that is essentially a Tummy Tuck and a Breast Surgery. The Breast Surgery could entail a breast lift, breast reduction, breast augmentation, or a combination.

I think that the sign of a successful Tummy Tuck is that nobody knows you have had one! 
I think that the Belly Button is probably the biggest giveaway that that somebody has had a Tummy Tuck - if it is not done well or it doesn’t heal well. Some of the things I try to do is hide the scar under somebody’s bikini line, I try to create a natural contour to the belly button, and I try to create athletic contouring, to overall look natural.

I think that having a belly button with contours and hidden scars is the best way of preventing people from knowing that you have had surgery.”

What is Umbilicoplasty?

“Umbilicoplasty is some contouring or shaping of the belly button. There are 3 main reasons why someone would want one - some people have a hernia that they should see a general surgeon for, or a piercing they no longer want or wish to get rid of scars, or they have redundant skin over the belly button post-pregnancy that they want removed. My goal is to create a natural-looking belly button.”

“I love the fact that I get to do something technical and I get to do something
artistic and I get to, you know, at the end of the day, change people’s lives from doing that.

Did you know that Breast Fat Transfer can transform your shape, providing beautiful results that look & feel natural?

📸Before & After Photo:

This 25-34 year old female patient was treated with Breast Fat Transfer. These photos were taken 3 months after her most recent surgery, to allow time for swelling to settle. She had small breasts to start, limiting the amount of fat for grafting.

Her case is evidence that small breasts can be made much fuller without an implant; but may require additional surgery.

This patient was really pleased with her natural-looking, beautiful results.

How to choose between Breast Implants & Breast Fat Transfer for a natural-looking Breast Augmentation?

➡️ Each option has unique benefits. Implants offer immediate, permanent results, while fat grafting provides a natural feel and soft beauty over time. Both can also be combined both for the best of both worlds!

✨Here are the main benefits of an implant:

✔️The result is permanent and immediate.
✔️ The implant provides shape to a breast that may not have the nicest shape.
✔️ It can lift a ni**le a little bit by pushing the breast forward.
✔️ It is by far the most common way that I perform a breast augmentation.

✨Here are the benefits of breast fat transfer alone:

✔️ It is perfectly natural and soft.
✔️ The fat is removed from one area that you don’t want it and is transferred into the breast where you do want the fat.
✔️ There are virtually no scars.

✨Here are the advantages of using both:

✔️ It provides a fuller breast with an implant but uses fat transfer to conceal the implant.
✔️ It makes the implant very difficult to see, or even feel.
✔️ It allows women who have lost volume in their upper breast to have an implant that is hidden and natural looking.
✔️ It provides the option to place an implant over top of the muscle that would otherwise have had to go below the muscle for concealment.

What are the Benefits of Breast Fat Transfer?

 ⭐️Dual benefit: Slims stubborn fat areas with liposuction while enhancing breast volume. ⭐️No implants, no visible scars—just a soft, natural feel. ⭐️Ideal for subtle, natural-looking augmentation. ⭐️Perfect for women with limited breast tissue to smooth or conceal implants. ⭐️Can be used with implants to create a more natural shape.

📸Before & After Photo:

This 18-24 year old female patient was treated with Breast Fat Transfer. She had breast asymmetry, and she elected for fat transfer to the smaller breast for correction. She is several months since surgery, to allow swelling to settle. This patient was really happy with her beautiful results!

What is Sub-Fascial Breast Augmentation?

This technique places the implant ABOVE the pectoral muscle but UNDER the fascia (a thin connective tissue layer).

🌟The Benefits:🌟
 ✔️ Better implant concealment  ✔️ Create a more natural-looking result
✔️ Avoid animation deformity ✔️ More precise implant placement ✔️ Harmonious breast shape with aging

📸Before & After Photo:

This patient had a Breast Augmentation, using breast implants. A sub-fascial pocket was used to provide additional coverage of the implant without lifting the pectoralis muscle. A 275 cc smooth round silicone implant was used. She was thrilled with her gorgeous results!

What procedures do you focus on in your practice?

“I do a lot of different things, but the main focus of my practice would be body contouring and breast surgery.

When it comes to breast surgery, I really do a lot of reconstruction. I do aesthetic breast surgery, I do breast lifts and reductions.

I do a lot of fat grafting to the breast. I also do eyelid surgeries and facial surgery as well.”

✨Why Choosing the Right Surgeon is an Important Decision.

💫If you are thinking about undergoing a plastic surgery procedure, choosing the right board certified plastic surgeon is the most important choice you will make in the whole process. You are putting your health, your beauty, and your life in their hands. Make sure that you choose the right hands.💫

✔️ Ask for referrals—from friends, your GP, or trusted doctors. ✔️ Look into training, credentials, and reviews from previous patients. ✔️ Book consults with your top choices—see if you click, if they listen, and if they’re honest about what’s possible.
✔️Do you have an easy rapport with them? Are they honest about what can realistically be achieved? Are they pushing you into signing up or giving you time to think about things?  ✔️ Trust your instincts. The right surgeon gives you time to think and puts your well-being first.

🔹If you can answer these questions then take a leap, but always listen to your gut.🔹
