Procedures I'm known for
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
The mommy makeover is a popular surgical procedure for women who are looking to improve or restore their body following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Physical changes such as sagging breasts, volume loss, stubborn pockets of fat, excess skin, and abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) can be difficult or impossible to reverse with diet and exercise. That’s when a mommy makeover comes in. This combination of procedures is aimed at restoring the body to its pre-pregnancy state.
A breast lift can reposition and reshape breasts, while breast augmentation can restore lost volume with implants. For abdominal issues such as excess skin and abdominal muscle separation, a tummy tuck can create a tighter, contoured abdomen. Liposuction can remove accumulated pockets of resistant fat.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the best treatment plan to create the result you desire, whether it’s a small change or more dramatic transformation.
Breast Surgery
I offer various breast enhancement procedures to help patients at my Fall River practice achieve their body goals with beautiful, natural-looking results. Patients who get breast surgery often report feeling happier with their appearance and having higher levels of confidence. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular breast procedures for patients who are looking to enhance the size and shape of their breasts. It can also help balance asymmetrical breasts. Breast augmentation usually involves a saline or silicone gel implant being placed beneath the breast tissue or chest wall muscle.
Those who want to correct sagging breasts usually opt for a breast lift (mastopexy), with or without augmentation. I also offer breast implant revision surgery for patients who have had an undesirable result with another surgeon, as well as breast implant removal (explant).
Abdominoplasty
A balanced diet and exercise routine can go a long way towards contouring your body, but sometimes they’re not quite enough to meet your goals—especially if you have loose skin. This is when a body sculpting cosmetic surgery like a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) can be especially effective. At my Fall River practice, I frequently perform this procedure, to help my patients achieve their dream body.
The tummy tuck is a great option for patients who have excess skin following weight loss or abdominal muscles that have been stretched by pregnancy.
During a tummy tuck, a horizontal incision is made right above the pubic area. Excess skin is removed, while the abdominal muscle tissues are tightened. The remaining skin is pulled taut resulting in a tight, toned, and contoured stomach and waistline.
I look forward to discussing your concerns and goals during your consultation, then creating the best surgical treatment plan for you.
