I’m fully back to work this week and feeling so many things… grateful for the most wonderful, slow maternity leave, sad to leave my boy – but also SO glad to be back doing what I love – seeing patients and operating again 🙌

04/16/2026

Wild how much has happened since moving back home to Indy and joining Meridian, and even though my new, tiny 3-month-old boss is *not* supportive of me heading back to work just yet, it makes it a little easier when I genuinely love what I do.

If you’re not already on the books, take this as your sign to book your consult so we can chat about all of your aesthetic goals… and so I can have adult conversations to look forward too 😂

Call or text us at [317.575.0330](tel:3175750330) to book a consult or visit my website (link in bio). See you soon!

This patient in her mid-40s underwent breast reduction 3 months ago. What a dramatic change!! Her breasts are now lifted, perky, and not weighing her down.

Breast implants are wonderful, life-changing devices for many women, but they do require some ongoing attention. The good news is that monitoring has become easier, more accessible, and more affordable than ever before with the use of ultrasound, which can be done by me in the office!

If you have questions about your implants, whether you're considering getting them or you've had them for years, I'm here to help!

8 weeks (!!!!) of Hunter James Diamont.

He arrived during a snow storm. It wasn’t what we had “planned” for a number of reasons but it was perfect.

Two overwhelming thoughts from the last two months:

1. I have the utmost respect and admiration for all mamas. This job is hard and beautiful and tiring and best ever.
2. Thank you to the village that brought us dinner, visited, and loved us and Hunter through the chaos of early motherhood. We are so blessed. 🙏🏼

"Will I lose sensation after a breast lift or reduction?"

This is a question I’ve been hearing a lot lately during consults!

It is RARE to completely lose sensation. Some patients get a bit more sensitive, some get a bit less, and some stay the same. Decreased sensitivity is pretty common around the 3-month mark, but most patients return to normal sensation between 6-12 months post-op. It may not be to the exact same degree as before, but complete loss of sensation is very uncommon. Your body is healing and nerves take time to recover, so patience is key.

What other burning breast surgery q’s are rolling around your brain? 🧠

Tummy tucks are one of the most satisfying procedures I do. When someone has worked incredibly hard in the gym and taken care of their body, but they're still dealing with excess skin that won't go away, surgery can finally highlight all that hard work they've put in.

If you've been working hard on your fitness and weight loss goals but still dealing with stubborn excess skin or a persistent "pooch," a tummy tuck might be exactly what you need.

What made us chose to do a subfascial breast augmentation? Watch for the full explanation of why this can be such a great approach for certain patients 👀

02/11/2026

It's not uncommon for women to be a little nervous about needing a breast lift! Scarring is one of the things that makes patients nervous about this procedure.

This patient in her early 50s already had breast implants but didn't like the shape or position of her breasts. I performed an implant exchange, breast lift, and SAFELiposuction of her armpit area. The lift, even with its tradeoff of a scar, is a powerful tool for changing the overall appearance of the breast.

My short-scar breast lift technique utilizes an incision that looks like a lollipop. Shown here at 10 months post-op, the scar is minimally noticeable and has allowed for the creation of a rounder, higher breast shape.

Patient height: 5'8"
Implant size: Natrelle SoftTouch Moderate Profile, R - 445cc, L - 405cc

Contrary to popular belief - implant profile or height is not that important!! It does impact your overall implant volume and the look of your breast augmentation, but in my opinion, the most important thing is not profile, but rather the width of the breast implant and how it fits on your chest.

My goal is to find a width that fits you and your anatomy! Profile is sort of the cherry on top… but it’s still helpful to understand.

I use round implants, which have the same diameter in all directions 📐, but they can have different profiles!

Low - the shortest implant height or profile! Can be very useful for providing upper pole fullness without lots of volume if you prefer a smaller breast aesthetic
Moderate - what it sounds like! Between low and high profile. A great option for many patients.
High - Maximum outward projection/fullness/volume. Honestly, my most rarely used profile but it is right for some patients!
