This active 45-year-old patient came to us seeking improved body balance and a naturally elegant silhouette. At 5’4” with a lean, muscular frame, her goal was to achieve subtle volume enhancement with beautifully defined upper and medial pole fullness — what many refer to as “natural cleavage.”

With a tailored breast lift and augmentation, we redistributed her existing tissue and added just the right amount of volume to complement her athletic lifestyle and proportions. The result: a refreshed, harmonious look that still feels authentically her.

There’s no such thing as a ‘breast explant expert.’

In 2017–2018 the trend exploded online, prompting a major funded study showing no need for capsulectomy to improve symptoms.

17 international societies now affirm: this title doesn’t exist. It’s fear marketing — not medicine.

Trust trained reconstructive plastic surgeons who rely on data, not hype.

Our patient came to us after a 100-pound weight loss, interested in a breast lift with a slight reduction to rejuvenate her breasts, maintain upper pole fullness, and tighten her remaining skin envelope while repositioning her breasts for a naturally youthful shape.

A breast lift restores firmness, balance, and projection — addressing changes caused by weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.

BENEFITS:
💎 Enhances shape and symmetry
🌸 Tightens stretched skin for a firmer contour
👗 Improves how clothing fits
💖 Restores body confidence and proportion

This wonderful patient came to us interested in a breast augmentation to restore lost volume after having her two kiddos.

A breast augmentation (often part of a mommy makeover) can help restore fullness, balance your proportions, and bring back a mother’s self confidence once her family is complete. 🩷

Every transformation is personal and completely customized. Our goal is always to help you feel like yourself again!

Patient: 37 years old, 120lbs, 5’1”

Massive Weight Loss Transformation 🤩

Our male patient achieved an incredible result after significant weight loss. He underwent a male chest lift and a 360 lower body lift to remove redundant skin and restore contour.

PSA: 📣 This procedure isn’t gynecomastia surgery because there’s no excess breast tissue — just loose skin after major weight loss!

Through meticulous skin excision and natural re-draping of the chest and torso, we restored definition and symmetry for a confident and athletic look.

Pre-op TIPS for a better recovery:
🥩 100g+ daily protein intake
🩸 Normalized albumin/prealbumin
🍊 Vitamin C + zinc for healing
💦 Hydration & glucose control

At least she still looks fab! 💁🏻‍♀️ Who can relate?
