We’ve been doing a lot of thigh lifts lately, especially after major weight loss!

Loose skin after weight loss is something many people experience. A thigh lift, also known as a thighplasty, can help reshape the thighs by removing excess skin and improving overall contour.

Not all thigh lifts are the same, so consult with an ASPS Member Surgeon to learn if you are a candidate and which technique may be right for your goals.

Breast implant removal and revision surgery are conversations I take seriously. Some patients choose revision for aesthetic reasons, others due to symptoms or lifestyle changes.

No two bodies are the same, and no two treatment plans should be either.

Planning surgery before summer allows adequate time for healing and swelling to resolve. It also gives you space to schedule follow up visits without rushing.

Recovery is part of the process, and thoughtful planning leads to better outcomes. If you are considering a procedure in the next few months, now is the ideal time to start the conversatio

Many patients assume they need a major procedure to see improvement. Often, small refinements make the biggest difference. An upper blepharoplasty, minor liposuction, or subtle breast revision can create confidence without dramatic change.

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is a contouring tool. When patients are near their goal weight but struggling with stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can refine and enhance shape.

My patients have been loving live liposuction during which you are under a local anesthetic rather than general anesthesia. We have found that the opportunity for a patient to assist in moving their body an inch here or arch their back there has improved surgical results!

March is Breast Implant Illness Awareness Month. I believe informed patients make the best decisions. If you are experiencing unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, or inflammation and you have breast implants, it is important to have a thorough evaluation.

Not every symptom is implant related, but your concerns deserve to be heard and discussed.

What procedure creates the biggest impact with the least downtime? For many patients, an upper blepharoplasty can dramatically refresh the eyes. Excess upper eyelid skin can make you look tired even when you feel energized.

A carefully performed upper bleph can restore a more open, rested appearance without changing your natural features. Call 402-302-1061 for your consult!

Spring is when many of my patients start planning ahead for summer. If you are considering surgery, timing matters. Swelling, healing, and follow up visits all take time, and planning now allows you to feel confident and fully recovered by the time warm weather arrives.

Whether you are considering breast surgery, liposuction, or facial refinement, scheduling early gives us room to plan thoughtfully and safely. If summer confidence is your goal, now is the time to come in for a consultation.
