How do we know when a lift is needed? On the surgical side, it’s a combination of measurements and careful planning. But for someone at home considering this, the question revolves around how much lower pole you have, and if you’d like less of it.

Pregnancy and weight loss can cause a stretching of the skin and lead to someone choosing to have a lift.

And yes, we can do this OTM or UTM.

This patient opted for a lift with her BA, allowing us to address both the upper pole AND lower pole in the same operation.

Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, genetics, and breastfeeding—there are so many factors that can change the way your breasts look and feel.⁠

If you’re considering a breast procedure, how do you know what’s right for you? Implants? A lift? Or maybe a combination?⁠

This 29-year-old patient came in after going through an Orientation and exploring the Bustmob Academy app. We worked together to create a plan that combined a breast lift with implants, which gave her the look she was aiming for.⁠

At her pre-op visit, we used Vectra 3D imaging to preview how the lift would look and how different implant sizes would fit her frame. This tech really helps patients visualize their desired results before surgery.⁠

Together, we chose 620 (style 107, high profile) silicone implants placed under the muscle. She’s 5’2 and 136 lbs.

𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗠 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘⁠ (Implants + Lift)⁠
Recovery: 5-7 days⁠
Final results: 9 months⁠
Cost: $17,500

Did you know that in the 1990s, saline implants were the only option for augmentation in the USA?

If you had a saline implant placed but now want to upgrade to silicone, we can do this in about 45 minutes. You don’t need general anesthesia, and we usually use the same access point so there isn’t a new scar. An implant exchange also lets us put the finishing touches on your result, and can be the right option for someone wanting a little more size or fullness.

This young mother had 270cc saline implants but wanted a little boost. She chose 325 cc MP silicone implants in the “gummy bear” style. This not only increased the size but also brought the two a little closer together for that elegant look.

Interested in an exchange? A virtual or in-person consult might be the next step. We can’t wait to meet you!

Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles—it’s caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, genetics, and aging and gives the abdomen a sort of roundness.

Things like pilates and pelvic floor work can help strengthen those (separated) muscles, but the only way to truly bring them back together is with surgical muscle repair included in a tummy tuck.

So if you’re like many of us, doing all the right things, but still not seeing the results you’re after, you may have a bit of diastasis recti.

We filmed an orientation video just for you at the link in our profile. It’s a great way to continue your research from the comfort of home.

A little bit goes a long way, and no where is this more true than in the world of lip filler. This young woman was interested in adding some gentle volume to her lips as well as having a stronger chin.

When she came in for a consultation, I noted that the corners of her upper lip didn’t match the center, making the upper lip seem to not reach the edges of the lower lip. So we focused the treatment in that region, evening the upper lip to complement its sister. This required less than 1 cc of hyaluronan, so the remainder of the 💉 was applied to the chin to help her profile: the most forward point of the chin, in an aesthetic mathematical ideal, should be just behind the most forward point of the lower lip.

I love doing surgical procedures, but when a 5-minute treatment like this can help a patient look and feel great, there is no better feeling.

We love seeing photos like these! UTM and OTM are two options for placement, and we are thrilled she is summer ready after just two weeks ☀️

Ready to learn more? The academy app is an excellent resource if you’re ready to do a deep dive.

Eyelid procedures are some of my favorites. For the upper lid, we are usually trying to improve the “hooding” that sometimes can block vision. For the lower lid, we are addressing the bags that pooch forwards, which are usually accompanied by extra skin. This patient chose to address both.

We included a lateral canthopexy procedure, which has helped suspend the lower lid which can be floppy. If you look closely, in the “before” you’ll see the white of the eye between the iris and the lower lid, we call this “scleral show.” That is no longer a problem in the “after”

Every surgeon has his/her preference. Upper eyelids are done comfortably under local, and I perform lower lid procedures with the patient asleep. This is a very common procedure for both women and men.

Suture removal: 5-7 days
Medication: prescription eye drops for 2 weeks
Recovery: presentable for a video call as early as 2 weeks

Implant exchanges allow for a truly personalized experience unlike anywhere else in plastic surgery. Whether it’s time for a swap, you’d like to go up/down a cup size, or you’d like to have the newest gummy bear options, we can do this without the need for general anesthesia.

It’s a comfortable procedure where you can look in the mirror and make sure you’re happy with the new size BEFORE you go home.

🌙 Crescent
🍩 Donut
🍭 Lollipop
⚓️ Anchor

These are the four types of 🍒 lifts, and they can be performed on their own, or combined with implants. A consultation is a great way to determine the right design to reach your goals, but most people aren’t ready for a consultation right away. We hear you, which is why we made a free orientation video to give you the info you need. Remember, most lifts are performed:

Drainless
With stitches that dissolve on their own
As a shorter procedure that means you can go home the same day and relax

The surgery planning process can feel overwhelming at first- what procedure do I need? What surgeon should I see? How much does all this cost? What is the recovery like?

We understand and have made it easy to get what you need at each stage of your journey. The best way to connect?

1️⃣Learn the basics with an .aesthetics orientation. We filmed a friendly walkthrough related to the procedure you are considering. It’s completely free and you can stream it from wherever you’d like

2️⃣Join - a community of like-minded women who “get it.” You can get support from people who have had these procedures and learn with others who are considering them

3️⃣Book a consultation, either in-person or via video, with me. This won’t be rushed and we will give you the time and attention you deserve. After steps 1 and 2, you’ll be supercharged with the knowledge and confidence to make an informed decision
