Tips Tuesday | Breast Reduction Nuances

✨ 2 months post-op ✨
This patient is just two months out from her breast reduction, performed as part of a full Mommy Restoration that also included Lipo 360 and a tummy tuck.

Today’s focus isn’t final size or shape—it’s the details that matter early on.

In this video, I’m walking through:
• Incision placement and design
• How tension is managed to protect healing
• Small technical choices that directly impact scar quality and long-term shape

Breast reduction is not just about removing tissue. It’s about respecting blood supply, planning scars thoughtfully, and shaping with longevity in mind.

We’ll be sharing her full results soon, including a 2-month to 6-month progression, so you can see how these nuances translate over time.

Thoughtful surgery. Intentional healing.

“But, GOD.”
This trend often talks about the people who doubted you—
and how you did it anyway.

But sometimes the loudest doubt
is the one inside your own head.

Faith isn’t about seeing the whole picture.
It’s about trusting the One who does.
The One who gave you the vision
already knows how it ends.

When you take that leap of faith,
it’s incredible what God can do with it—
what He will grow, refine, and teach you along the way.

But first…
you have to take the step.

“I’m glad I did it.”

This patient chose a facelift with necklift, and what she shares here goes beyond before-and-after photos.
She talks openly about her decision, the process, and why she refused to let stigma silence her experience.

Plastic surgery isn’t about secrecy or shame.
For many women and men, it’s about alignment—how you feel on the inside finally matching what you see in the mirror.

Her confidence, her honesty, her joy in this chapter… that’s the real result.

To our lovely patient, Chrissy, Thank you for trusting me with your journey and for using your voice so others feel less alone. 🤍

Tips Tuesday ✨ Who’s a good candidate for a Mommy Restoration?

If you’re done having children, at a stable weight, and bothered by changes that diet and exercise can’t fix — you may be a great candidate.

I call it mommy restoration because this isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about restoring your core, your confidence, and your body after pregnancy.

Mommy, restored.™

Breast lift with fat grafting + Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck with Lipo 360
6 months post-op.

This is comprehensive body contouring after massive weight loss—designed to restore shape, proportion, and function when excess skin remains despite significant effort and discipline.

For her procedure we did:
• Breast lift with fat grafting for upper-pole fullness and softer contour
• Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck to address both vertical and horizontal skin excess
• Lipo 360 to refine the waist and improve overall balance

All views are shown here—including scars—because transparency matters, especially in post-weight-loss surgery. These procedures trade excess skin for scars, and the goal is scars that heal well, fade over time, and sit in positions that allow the body to finally move and function with ease.

She traveled from out of town to see us, and we’re grateful for the trust she placed in our team ❤️.

These surgeries and processes are so satisfying and truly are about alignment—between the work you’ve done and the body you live in.

Tips Tuesday: Transparency in Plastic Surgery

Keloids after surgery — let’s talk about what we do.

Plastic surgery isn’t perfect. Even when a procedure is done well, sometimes healing doesn’t follow the path we hoped for.

In this patient, we addressed a keloid with scar revision combined with superficial radiation therapy. Why? Because when you remove a keloid, you can’t just excise it and hope for the best — you have to change the environment that allowed it to form in the first place.

Another option in certain cases is steroid injections, but again, the goal is the same: altering the biology of healing to reduce recurrence.

This is where experience matters.
Knowing which tool to use, when to use it, and also knowing when you’ve done everything possible — and helping a patient accept that reality — is part of honest, ethical care.

Progress isn’t always perfection.
Sometimes it’s thoughtful tweaks, realistic expectations, and walking the healing journey together

Faith Friday ✨

How do you prepare for a journey you don’t even know is coming?

So often, God is shaping us long before we understand why.
The stretching, the waiting, the uncomfortable moments—they aren’t random. They’re preparation.

In 1 Kings 17–18, Elijah is hidden, sustained, and tested before the breakthrough.
And Psalm 139 reminds us that darkness and light are the same to God—nothing is hidden, nothing is wasted.

What feels unclear or uncomfortable right now may be the very thing God is using to prepare you for what’s ahead.

Trust the process. He sees fully, knows completely, and prepares us perfectly.

I get asked this question often — sometimes directly during consultations:
Why choose you when I’ve seen much older, very established surgeons?

7 years in practice. But not 7 years starting from zero.

One thing I don’t talk about often is how proficiency actually develops in plastic surgery — especially with complex procedures like facelifts, but also across everything we do.

Yes, I’ve been in practice for seven years.
But before I ever operated independently, my aesthetic fellowship at ACPS in Houston placed me alongside surgeons who had been doing this work for decades — surgeons who had already seen what doesn’t work, what fails long-term, and what truly stands the test of time.

That exposure matters.

It meant I didn’t start my career learning only through trial and error. I started at a higher baseline — learning nuance, judgment, and restraint early on — things that otherwise take many additional years to develop on your own.

If you scroll back on our website, you’ll even see some of my earliest before-and-after results. There isn’t a sudden “jump” or sharp curve in outcomes — because the foundation was there from the beginning.

Progress in this field is about years of intentional training, mentorship, repetition, and refinement.

That’s the work behind the work.

2 months post-op | Eye rejuvenation
This patient is shown two months after an upper and lower eyelid lift (quad bleph) as part of a full facial rejuvenation, which included a deep plane facelift and neck lift as well as facial fat grafting.

For the upper eyelids, the incision is carefully placed within the natural eyelid crease, allowing it to heal discreetly while excess skin is conservatively removed to restore a more open, rested appearance.

For the lower eyelids, prominent fat pads are precisely reduced and repositioned, and excess skin is gently excised. Facial fat grafting is used to support the lower eyelid and midface, helping rebalance the face and avoid a hollowed appearance.

You’ll also get a sneak peek of her facelift result in the final slide — with her full facial rejuvenation transformation coming soon.

If you never saw the before… would you know she had surgery?

Story time while I make fried apple pies.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to quiet ourselves.
To make ourselves smaller.
To wait for permission.

But your gifts were never meant to be hidden.
And your voice was never meant to be lost.

Whether it’s in how you create, lead, love, or show up each day—what you carry matters.
Share it. Say it. Use it.

One year after her tummy tuck with liposuction to the abdomen and flanks — this is the power of long-term results.

At 12 months, swelling has settled, the scar has softened, and her waist contour is fully defined. This stage is where the true outcome is revealed — not just the early recovery, but the durability of the transformation.

Surgery creates the foundation, but time, healing, and consistency bring the final picture into focus.
Mommy, Restored.™
