Before any cosmetic surgery or procedure, full transparency is everything. Your surgeon can only plan the safest and most effective treatment when they know your full medical and lifestyle picture.

Medications, supplements, ni****ne use, past procedures - even things that seem “small” - can impact anesthesia, healing, and results.

Save this for your consultation, and share with anyone considering surgery.

Let’s Talk About BMI & Surgery Candidacy ✨

A higher BMI doesn’t automatically rule you out for surgery and it’s important for patients to hear that. What truly matters is the full picture of your health.

BMI is just one factor we consider. What can make surgery unsafe is a combination of a high BMI and poor overall health, such as uncontrolled medical conditions, smoking, or limited mobility. When those risks are present together, surgery may not be recommended.

But when your general health is stable and all other safety boxes are checked, many patients with higher BMIs are candidates for life-changing procedures. Your consultation is the beginning of understanding what is safe, realistic, and aligned with your goals.

We’ll also thoroughly discuss expectations from possible outcomes to healing timelines, so you feel informed, confident, and empowered every step of the way.

Your journey is unique, and we’re here to guide you safely toward the transformation you’ve been dreaming of

This 50 year old patient wanted to regain the breast volume she had lost over the years. With placing 400cc silicone gel implants, we achieved a fuller, natural looking contour she now feels confident in!

We love being part of these empowering journeys. ✨

This sweet patient is barely 24 hours post-op and still wanted to share her experience and we couldn’t be more grateful. 🤍

She first came to us a year and a half ago for an extended tummy tuck, and since then, her transformation journey has continued with a brachioplasty and breast reduction. Watching her confidence grow with each step has been nothing short of inspiring.

Even after just having surgery, she’s feeling incredible and her positivity is truly contagious. ✨

To this amazing patient: thank you for trusting us, for choosing us again, and for sharing your story with others. Your confidence, courage, and kindness mean the world to our entire team.

Waistline Redefined. 💫

This patient’s transformation is the result of an extended tummy tuck with liposuction. By removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal muscles, and contouring the waist with liposuction, we created:
✅ A smoother, firmer abdominal profile
✅ A refined waistline and silhouette
✅ More comfort in clothing & daily movement

If you’ve experienced changes from weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or simply time, and you’re curious what options may fit your goals, we’d love to guide you.

This patient came to us wanting to enhance her breast volume for a  proportionate, and fuller silhouette. 🍒✨

After a detailed consultation and careful assessment of her anatomy, we selected 350cc high-profile silicone gel implants to achieve her desired shape and projection.

The result is a soft, natural-looking enhancement that complements her frame beautifully, providing symmetry, confidence, and balance.

FAQ: Can a Breast Augmentation Fix Sagging? 🤔

This is one of the most common questions we receive and the short answer is not necessarily. If you have a higher grade of breast ptosis (sagging), simply adding an implant won’t correct the excess skin, it will still hang off the implant. In these cases, we often recommend a breast lift (mastopexy) either with or without an augmentation to restore a more youthful, lifted shape.

However, some patients are in that borderline category, meaning there’s only slight sagging with very minimal excess skin. In these cases, a carefully chosen implant can sometimes create the illusion of a subtle lift by adding volume and support.

Every body and every breast is unique, that’s why a personalized consultation is key to determining which approach will achieve your goals and natural proportions best.

A Fresh Transformation Nearly 20 Years Later 🤩

This patient first had a Mommy Makeover in 2006, and after almost two decades she was ready for an update to better compliment her body today. Secondary surgeries like this are not uncommon, as bodies continue to change over time with age, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle.

Her surgical plan included an extended tummy tuck with liposuction to tighten her midsection and refine her contour, along with a mastopexy (breast lift) and augmentation. We replaced her previous 360cc implants with 300cc saline-filled implants, creating a natural, balanced shape.

The result is a refreshed, youthful silhouette that aligns with her current goals, showing that it’s never too late to feel confident in your body again.

If you’ve had surgery in the past and are considering surgery for the first time, a consultation is the best way to explore your options and design a plan tailored to you.

Hesitant to undergo surgery because you feel like you’ll be down for too long? 🤔

A tummy tuck recovery is a journey that happens in stages. In the first week, it’s normal to experience swelling and bruising as your body begins to heal. By weeks 4–6, swelling improves and your new abdominal contour starts to take shape, though some tightness and incision healing are still part of the process. Your final transformation happens between 6–12 months, when swelling has fully resolved, scars begin to fade, and final results are revealed.

For this patient, we performed an extended tummy tuck with 360 liposuction to address soft tissue excess and abdominal laxity. Her “after” photo shown here is at just 6 months post-op and her results will continue to refine even more over time.
