Procedures I'm known for

The best candidates for mommy makeover surgery are women who are unsatisfied with their body contours following childbearing. Dr. Kreithen, a body contouring specialist in Sarasota / Bradenton, can utilize the mommy makeover surgery to restore pre-pregnancy contours by treating an array of aesthetic concerns. Although it is natural to gain weight during pregnancy, most of this weight is stored as fat tissue, affecting the shape of the breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks, lower back and thighs. In addition, pregnancy is often associated with stretch marks that typically accumulate around the belly button and lower abdomen as a result of skin stretching.

A breast augmentation procedure, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to provide women lacking in form, volume, or symmetry of the chest an improved, aesthetically pleasing figure. This procedure can provide a proportionate figure, and create a restored silhouette on women of any age. The best candidate for this surgery will be a woman in good health, who is frustrated with the size or shape of her breasts. During the consultation appointment, the surgeon will assist in deciding if the augmentation surgery is the right procedure to meet the individual patient’s goals and needs.

The Tummy Tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct a loose, sagging, or protruding abdomen. This may be brought on through a dramatic weight loss, pregnancy, or simply the aging process; all of which can cause the stomach muscles to weaken. As this happens, the mid-section will experience a loss of tone and elasticity. Diet and exercise alone cannot correct these physical changes.
