Breast augmentation and nipple reduction are a winning combination. Opting for a Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation, our client augmented her breasts from an A to a confident D cup using a Silicone Gel Gummy Bear Soft Touch Implant (415cc, full profile). The added benefit? Nipple reduction was performed simultaneously with the augmentation, ensuring harmony in both size and proportion. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Combining nipple reduction with breast implants can offer several advantages for individuals seeking a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Here are some reasons why this dual approach can be advantageous:
✅ Proportionate Symmetry: Nipple reduction alongside breast augmentation allows for precise customization, ensuring that the size and projection of the nipples align harmoniously with the enhanced breast size.
✅ Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Addressing enlarged nipples can contribute to a refined and more attractive breast aesthetic.
✅ Streamlined Recovery: Undergoing both nipple reduction and breast augmentation simultaneously streamlines the recovery process. Patients experience a single recovery period for both procedures, minimizing overall downtime and allowing for a more efficient healing process.
✅ Comprehensive Transformation: For individuals seeking a comprehensive transformation of their breast appearance, addressing the breasts' size and shape and nipple size can result in a more cohesive and complete aesthetic improvement.
✅ Increased Confidence: Achieving the desired breast size and nipple proportion can significantly boost a patient's confidence and satisfaction with their overall appearance. This comprehensive approach can have positive effects on self-esteem and body image.
Her implant pockets needed attention, so we did a breast aug revision. Her implants dropped significantly and had become laterally displaced over the years. She got a new, slightly larger pair of modern silicone gel, soft touch implants. He did a major implant pocket repair to close off the inferior and lateral pockets. Her new implants sit perfectly, and she's got a much better look.
Yes, it is quite common to experience numbness around the scar area after a tummy tuck. Numbness is a normal part of the healing process and is usually temporary. The extent and duration of numbness can vary from person to person.
During a tummy tuck, your surgeon makes an incision along the lower abdomen, removes excess skin and fat, tightens the abdominal muscles, and repositions the remaining skin. This surgical process can disrupt or damage small nerves, leading to temporary numbness or altered sensation in the abdominal area, particularly around the incision site.
The nerves gradually regenerate over time, and sensation typically improves. However, it's important to note that complete sensation may not return to the scar area for everyone, and there may be lingering changes in sensation. This is usually well-tolerated; many individuals adjust to these changes without significant issues.
If you have concerns about the sensation around your scar or if you experience unusual symptoms, it's essential to communicate with your plastic surgeon. They can provide specific guidance based on your individual case and address any questions or concerns you may have during the postoperative recovery period.
Fat Transfer Breast Aug👏 This patient wanted more volume but did not want an implant. She was also very thin. Dr. Burns harvested fat from multiple locations using a technique called skimming. The fat was processed and strategically injected into her breasts to enhance her shape and fill. She retained the fat very well and had more than a cup size increase; plus she has the added benefit of a little lipo contouring!
Implant removal, breast lift, and fat transfer. This patient sought change from her previous implants and dissatisfaction with her breast appearance. Dr. Burns performed a comprehensive explant with total capsulectomy and a breast lift to eliminate excess skin and elevate her breasts. Utilizing fat transfer through liposuction from her abdomen, flanks, and thighs, we restored volume naturally.

This patient underwent VASER ultrasound liposuction of her abdomen, flanks/waist, and thighs. 2000cc of fat aspirate was removed, giving her this beautiful result with smooth skin and great curves.
Liposuction can offer several benefits for women over 30, as long as they are in good health and have realistic expectations. Here are some potential advantages:
Body Contouring
Liposuction is effective for removing stubborn pockets of fat that may resist diet and exercise. This can help contour the body and create a more proportionate and sculpted appearance.
Improved Self-Esteem
Many women experience changes in their body composition as they age, and stubborn fat deposits can be a source of frustration. Liposuction can address these concerns, leading to improved body confidence and self-esteem.
Post-Pregnancy Body Changes
After pregnancy, some women may find it challenging to regain their pre-pregnancy body shape. Liposuction can be used to address areas where fat accumulates, providing a solution for post-pregnancy body changes.
Reduced Cellulite
While liposuction primarily targets fat, it can also have a positive effect on the appearance of cellulite, especially in areas where cellulite is associated with excess fat deposits.
Customized Treatment
Liposuction can be tailored to the individual needs and goals of each patient. Whether it's the abdomen, thighs, hips, or other areas, liposuction allows for targeted fat removal.
Quick Recovery
Advances in liposuction techniques, such as tumescent and laser-assisted liposuction, have led to shorter recovery times than older methods. This can be appealing to individuals with busy lifestyles.
Long-lasting Results
Liposuction reduces permanent fat in treated areas, assuming a stable weight is maintained. While it doesn't prevent future weight gain, it can significantly improve the body's contour.
The duration of a mommy makeover can vary depending on the specific combination of procedures included and the complexity of each case. A mommy makeover typically involves a variety of techniques such as breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes other body contouring surgeries. The length of the surgery will depend on factors such as the extent of the procedures, the patient's individual anatomy, and the surgeon's experience.
On average, a mommy makeover can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the abovementioned factors. It's important to note that the recovery time also varies, and patients may need to take several weeks off work and other activities to allow for proper healing.
To get a more accurate estimate for your specific case, it's crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can assess your individual needs, discuss your goals, and provide you with a personalized treatment plan, including an estimate of the duration of the mommy makeover procedure.

lipo + bbl 🍑 This individual desired improved abdominal definition and enhanced buttock volume using fat. Dr. Burns performed lipo 360 on the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The harvested fat underwent processing before being strategically transferred to her buttocks to add projection, shape, and volume.
A fat grafting Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that involves enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient's own fat. The procedure typically consists of two main steps:
Liposuction
Excess fat is removed from areas of the body with an abundance of fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or other donor sites. The liposuction process contours and slims these areas, contributing to an improved overall body shape.
Fat Grafting to the Buttocks
The harvested fat is then processed and purified. After preparation, it is strategically injected into different layers of the buttocks to augment volume, shape, and projection. The goal is to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing enhancement.
Fat grafting BBL is often considered a more natural alternative to traditional buttock augmentation with implants, as it utilizes the patient's own tissue for enhancement. Additionally, the liposuction step allows for body contouring in areas where the patient may desire fat reduction.
It's important to note that while fat grafting BBL has gained popularity, it also requires careful consideration and should be performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon due to potential risks and complications associated with the procedure.
Thanks for your question, Kelsey! We look forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks.
275cc silcone gel breast augmentation for this mom who had some involutional changes with age and after multiple pregnancies. She wanted more volume but did NOT want a breast lift. In instances like this, Dr. BUrns uses a technique called dual plane III, placing the implant under the pec muscles so that the breast slides up over the implant and is perfectly centered. She got Soft Touch silicone gel, moderate profile implants, 275cc, for the right amount of perk and rejuvenation.
If you're considering breast augmentation, here are some factors to consider that influence the investment you make in yourself.
Surgeon's Experience and Reputation:
Highly experienced and reputable plastic surgeons typically charge more for their services. Their expertise often justifies the higher cost.
Type of Implants:
The type of breast implants you choose can affect the cost. Silicone implants often cost more than saline implants.
Surgical Facility Fees:
The fees associated with the surgical facility where the procedure is performed can influence the overall cost. Hospitals, surgical centers, and private clinics may have different fee structures.
Anesthesia Costs:
The type of anesthesia used (general or local) and the anesthesiologist's fees are factors in the overall cost.
Our best advice is not to sacrifice safety and results for price. 🫶🏾

Silicone and "gummy bear" breast implants are both types of breast implants used in breast augmentation. Here are couple of key takeaways:
Filling
- Silicone Implants are filled with silicone gel, which has a soft and cohesive consistency that closely mimics natural breast tissue.
-Gummy Bear Implants (Form-Stable Silicone) are also filled with silicone gel, but the gel is more highly cohesive and has a thicker "gummy bear" consistency. It holds its shape better than traditional silicone gel.
Shape
- Silicone Implants come in various shapes, including round and teardrop (anatomical). Round implants are fuller at the top, while teardrop implants have a more natural sloping shape.
- Gummy Bear Implants are referred to as "anatomically shaped" because they closely resemble the natural shape of the breast. They are teardrop-shaped, with a defined upper pole and a tapered lower pole.
Ultimately, the choice between silicone and gummy bear implants depends on a patient's individual preferences, body type, and the recommendation of their plastic surgeon. It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide personalized guidance and help you make the best choice for giving you the look you want while complimenting your overall figure.
This patient wanted more volume and a natural result. Dr. Burns performed a rapid recovery augmentation with IMF incision. She selected 360cc moderate profile silicone gel implants which were placed under the chest muscles to give her natural take off at the upper poles of her breast along with beautiful shape and cleavage.
She got fat grafting for natural shape and fill. This patient had lost volume after multiple pregnancies. She wanted a modest increase in her volume without an implant. Dr. Burns did a fat transfer, harvesting fat from her abdomen, flanks, and thighs. 450cc of pure fat was grafted into each breast to give her a permanent size increase without an implant.
An extended tummy tuck is a more extensive version that reaches beyond the tummy to the hips and sides of the lower back. A horizontal incision is made across the lower abdomen that extends around the hips. It's most often used for women and men who have a circumferential belt of loose skin and fat. Dr. Burns also did VASER ultrasound lipo to contour her back, flanks, and upper abs to further thin and shape her waist.

A breast lift will raise the breasts, but sometimes an implant is also needed to give beautiful, feminine volume.
This patient lost her breast volume after multiple pregnancies. She also developed significant, Grade II+, breast sagging.Dr. Burns did a breast lift with breast augmentation. The breast lift repositioned the breast tissue and then revolumized the skin with an implant. The augmentation gives better shape in terms of roundness, upper pole fill, volume, and cleavage.
This woman was told by another surgeon that she would need a lift. She didn't want the scars and decided to get a second opinion. Dr. Burns did a dual plane III aug to center her breasts & implants while avoiding a breast lift. She got 275cc moderate profile implants under the pecs for a natural, rejuvenated result. Our rapid recovery breast aug is perfect for moms who are busy raising kids and don't have the time for downtime.

Before and after tiny tummy tuck with short scar incision and corset (3 vectors) plication. #VASER hi-def lipo was done to contour her waist. Curious about the differences between a regular tummy tuck and a corset tummy tuck? ⬇️
Traditional Tummy Tuck
A standard abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a powerful procedure designed to reverse the visible changes brought about by pregnancy and weight fluctuations at the abdominal region. A traditional abdominoplasty involves:
Removing excess abdominal skin from the belly button to the pubic area.
Creating a new belly button.
Tightening the muscles along the abdominal wall, including the repair of the rectus abdominis muscle (rectus diastasis repair).
Removing unwanted, excess fat to sculpt the waistline with liposuction.
The Corset Tummy Tuck Technique
For mothers who need a little more waistline reshaping, I'll place an internal corset of sutures using a technique I call a Corset Tummy Tuck. The corset tuck is a 3-vector plication method where the abdominal muscles called the obliques are also tightened.
This technique realigns and corsets in the abdominal muscles, creating an even tighter waist and hourglass shape compared to the standard single-vector rectus plication.
