At Riou Plastic Surgery Center, our "don’t care" list is long, but our "perfection" list is longer. 🥂

We don’t care about:

1. The neighborhood gossip.
2. Last season’s trends.
3. Doing things the "easy" way.

We do care about:

1. Anatomic precision.
2. Your safety and comfort.
3. Results that look like you, only refreshed.

Lipo removes fat. It does not tighten skin. 🤏 If you have loose skin from pregnancy, Lipo alone might leave you disappointed. Here is the simple test to know which one you might need.

Why is February the SECRET Best Time for Body Contouring?⁠
⁠
Procedures like the Mommy Makeover and Tummy Tuck require compression garments to achieve those smooth, final results. Starting your recovery in the cool winter months ensures maximum privacy and allows you to heal comfortably in cozy clothing. You'll be fully recovered and ready to debut your confidence long before summer arrives! ⁠

It’s the most frustrating feeling in the world: You’re eating right, you’re doing the planks, but that lower belly "pooch" just won’t budge. 🛑⁠
⁠
Here is the truth: It might not be fat. It might be your anatomy.⁠
⁠
Diastasis Recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations. Once that connective tissue is stretched beyond a certain point, no amount of dieting or exercise can physically stitch it back together.⁠
⁠
In fact, certain core exercises can sometimes widen the gap.⁠
⁠
Swipe through to understand what is actually happening beneath the surface ➡️⁠
⁠
At Riou Plastic Surgery, we don’t just tighten the skin; we repair the abdominal wall. Think of a Tummy Tuck as an "internal corset" that restores your core strength and flattens your profile in a way the gym simply can't.⁠
⁠
You’ve done the hard work. Let us handle the repair.⁠
⁠
👇 Do you suspect you have muscle separation? Drop a "CORE" in the comments or call our office to schedule your evaluation.⁠

"I work out several times a week but still have a bulging abdomen and loose skin since my pregnancy. What can I do?"⁠
⁠
➡️ Pregnancy puts a lot of stress on the abdominal wall. Even women who do not exceed normal weight gain (25-30 pounds) and exercise throughout their pregnancy can still develop loose skin and abdominal wall weakness after their delivery! ⁠
⁠
Surgery such as Abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck”, is required to correct this “diastasis recti” defect. Are you a good fit for this type of procedure? Book a consultation by giving our office a call. 704-896-5806⁠

Our Story

At Riou Plastic Surgery Center we are dedicated to providing the utmost care and professionalism to every patient. Jean-Pierre Riou, MD, is Board Certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Trained at the prestigious Yale University School of Medicine, he scored in the top 1% in the Nation on the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Riou is the only plastic surgeon in the Carolinas specializing exclusively in breast surgery for over 25 years.

Dr. Riou has performed over 8500 implant surgeries (7,284 for cosmetic augmentation, 1,347 for breast cancer) including Mentor, Allergan, saline and form stable gel (“gummy bear”) implants. He believes passionately that plastic surgery should be an adjunct to healthy living not a substitute. Patients who elect for aesthetic surgery can have extraordinary improvements in their self-image, but a tummy tuck or liposuction should not be done instead of diet and exercise in overweight patients and breast lifts or reductions should not be done on active smokers.

This philosophy has been extremely valuable in the overall results and our patient satisfaction which keeps complications to a minimum and leads to longer lasting improvements. Their patients don’t just look better but they feel better!

Their shared medical staff have been with them for years and are a true “work family”, they provide a friendly and supportive environment that can only be found in small independent private practices.
