100 pounds lost. A transformation that goes far beyond the scale. 💪

This Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck transformation by Dr.Reis is a powerful example of what body contouring after major weight loss can achieve.

After retiring from the military, this patient gradually gained nearly 100 pounds over the years. Through incredible discipline and lifestyle changes alone, he was able to lose all of the weight without medication or bariatric surgery. While the weight loss was life changing, he was left with a significant amount of excess abdominal skin that made exercise uncomfortable and prevented him from fully seeing the results of his hard work.

During his consultation, Dr. Reis discussed several post-weight loss body contouring options including a circumferential body lift, extended tummy tuck, and Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. Ultimately, the Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck was the best option to address the amount of loose skin both horizontally and vertically.

So what is a Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck?

Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, a Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty includes both a low horizontal incision and a vertical incision along the midline of the abdomen. This advanced technique is often recommended for patients after massive weight loss because it allows for more aggressive skin removal, improved waist contouring, and tighter abdominal shaping when excess skin exists in multiple directions.

In many cases, this procedure can also:
✔️ Remove hanging abdominal skin
✔️ Help clothing fit better
✔️ Tighten weakened abdominal muscles
✔️ Create a flatter, more contoured midsection

Now just 3 months after surgery, he’s feeling stronger, more comfortable, and back to living an active lifestyle with confidence 💪

✨ Wellness Q&A Series | Episode 25 ✨

What are the most common side effects of oral GLP medications?

Dr. Reis is back to break down what patients can expect when starting oral GLP medications, and the good news is that most side effects are very manageable.

💊 How they work.

Oral GLP medications work very similarly to the injectable forms. They slow down how quickly things move through your GI tract, which is what drives both the appetite suppression and most of the side effects.

🩺 What to watch for:
• Nausea, heartburn, reflux, burping, and indigestion when food sits in the stomach longer
• Constipation or diarrhea as things continue to slow through the GI tract
• Fatigue during the adjustment period
• Over time, some patients notice muscle loss and skin laxity, which we’ll dig into in a future episode

✨ The good news.

Most of these side effects are dose-dependent. Start low and go slow, and you can avoid the majority of them while still seeing great results.

Ever wonder what an arm lift can actually do? 💪

These before and afters show the power of an extended brachioplasty paired with 360 liposculpting. Dr. Franco started by thinning out the upper arm and upper back with liposuction, then removed the excess loose skin to really bring everything together. The result is tighter, smoother, more sculpted arms from every angle.

The “extended” part is key. By taking the incision further than a traditional arm lift, Dr. Franco can address that stubborn upper arm and bra line fullness in one procedure. And yes, every contour is done on purpose, so the results look balanced and natural whether your arms are at your sides or raised.

If loose skin or stubborn upper arm fullness has been holding you back from tank tops, sleeveless dresses, or just feeling confident in your own skin, an arm lift might be the answer. Book a consult with our team to see what’s possible for you.

$100,000 Butt Augmentation? Yeah… And It’s Pure Gold.

For years, patients only had two options for butt augmentation:
Implants… or fat transfer.

But what happens when you’ve lost the weight… and there’s no fat left to transfer?

Welcome to the GLP-1 era.
The rules changed. The patients changed. And now the technology finally is too.

AlloClae is opening the door to a completely new category of body enhancement in the United States — injectable structural volume without implants, without liposuction, and without harvesting fat from your own body.

Is it expensive? Absolutely.
But expensive only means it’s not valuable to you.

For the right patient, this isn’t just filler.
It’s confidence.
It’s proportion.
It’s finally having an option when you thought you had none.

Not every patient wants surgery.
Not every patient has donor fat.
And not every patient wants to settle.

That’s why this changes everything.

The “$100,000 butt augmentation” isn’t really about the number.
It’s about the fact that aesthetic medicine just entered a new era of possibility.

And honestly? We’re just getting started.

What an incredible weekend at The Aesthetic MEET in Boston ✨

Our team at APS was honored to take the stage, lead discussions, and contribute to conversations shaping the future of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery. From advanced surgical techniques and innovation in regenerative aesthetics to patient safety, education, and emerging technology, this conference brought together some of the brightest minds in the industry.

One of the most valuable parts of meetings like this is the opportunity to collaborate, learn, and share knowledge with peers who are equally passionate about advancing patient care and outcomes. Continuing education is such an important part of what we do and staying at the forefront of the aesthetic industry allows us to continue bringing the latest techniques, technologies, and evidence-based treatments back to our patients.

We are incredibly grateful to be part of a community that prioritizes innovation, education, artistry, and excellence in aesthetic medicine. Thank you to everyone who attended our presentations, joined our panels, and connected with our team throughout the weekend. We’re leaving Boston inspired, energized, and excited for what’s ahead.

SCARLESS Breast Augmentation?! 👀

Okay… not technically.
But hidden so well your chest stays completely scar-free? Absolutely.

One of the biggest myths in aesthetics is that preservation breast augmentation can’t be done through the armpit. That’s simply not true.

Transaxillary Preserve allows us to preserve the natural anatomy, preserve the ligaments, and create beautiful, natural movement — all while hiding the incision in one of your body’s natural folds: the axilla.

No incision on the breast.
No scar on the cleavage.
Just modern breast augmentation designed around YOU.

This has become a huge option for patients who:
✨ Don’t want visible chest scars
✨ Are prone to keloids or hypertrophic scarring
✨ Have tight chests where fold scars may show
✨ Want subtle sexy, natural-looking results

Same preservation principles.
Different doorway.

The future of breast augmentation is all about choice.

Transaxillary Preserve by Dr. Johnny Franco at Austin Plastic Surgeon.
Confidence is the best contour.

✨ Hidden incision. Stunning transformation. ✨

Transaxillary breast augmentation is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about breast enhancement techniques of 2026 and this result by Dr. Franco shows exactly why. 👏

Using a hidden incision placed discreetly within the natural crease of the underarm, this preservation breast augmentation technique allows patients to enhance their shape while avoiding an incision on the breast itself. The result? Beautiful, natural-looking fullness with a nearly invisible scar placement. 💫

This patient looks absolutely incredible and can confidently wear whatever she wants from fitted tops to tiny bikinis. 👙

If hidden scars and natural-looking breast augmentation results are on your wishlist, this transformation is for you ✨

The secret to long-term skin tightening? Treating aging from multiple layers 👏✨

In this video, Nurse Sarah is performing step 2 of our “Structural Sandwich” treatment using the Avava laser to target deeper skin laxity, stimulate collagen + elastin production, and improve visible signs of aging, all without affecting facial fat.

This deeper tightening treatment helps improve:
🌟jowling
🌟nasolabial folds
🌟cheek lines
🌟loose or crepey skin
🌟fine lines + wrinkles

We started with Sculptra to restore collagen support, followed by Avava for deep tightening.

Next comes a superficial resurfacing pass to improve:
✨ pigmentation
✨ texture
✨ pore size
✨ sun damage
✨ overall skin quality

One of the best parts about Avava? Results continue to improve over time as new collagen forms. While we can’t stop the aging process completely, maintenance treatments every 1–2 years can help keep skin tighter, smoother, and healthier-looking for the long run.

This treatment is ideal for patients looking to tighten skin, soften fine lines, improve texture, and stimulate long-term collagen production without surgery.

Avava is especially great for treating jowling, nasolabial folds, sun damage, enlarged pores, and early signs of facial aging while maintaining natural facial volume.

Ever wonder what makes a modern tummy tuck different from the one you’ve heard about for years?

Dr. Franco breaks it down — and it’s so much more than removing extra skin. ✨

A tummy tuck with Lipo 360 brings several techniques together for a fully contoured result:

🔹 The internal corset — sewing the muscles together to bring the waist in
🔹 Oblique plication — cinching the sides to truly sculpt that waistline
🔹 Lipo 360 sculpting — strategically removing deep fat to refine and shape every angle

The result? A beautifully balanced midline and a contoured tummy — not just a flatter one.

For so many of our patients living their fit and fabulous life, it’s all about shaping and sculpting — and this evolved approach delivers exactly that.

Curious if a tummy tuck with Lipo 360 is right for you? Send us a DM or call to schedule your consultation with Dr. Franco. 💙
