For many years I have wanted a tummy tuck and after speaking with a plastic surgeon at a social gathering she told me to quit waiting and to go for a full mommy makeover.

“COMPLETE MOMMY MAKEOVER - Plano, TX”

Pot bellies with large breasts are genetic in my family. I had two children at a really young age which made my stomach and breasts HUGE. I dressed in large tunics every day and getting dressed was such a struggle because I was a size 12 in my stomach, a size 14 in my chest and a size 6 from the hips and down. i just wanted to be able to wear close to the same size clothes all over my body.... more

“The Way I See Me”

Hello, I'm a mother of three beautiful children. I love my family but bringing those little babies into the world has done its damage. I always wanted to have my breast augmented due to their unevenness. I used to wish for a tumor or even worse so I could justify having them fixed. It always bothered me and I have asked my husband several times to get them "done". He has no problem and... more

“Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck - Dallas, TX”

After 25 years as an obese child and adult, I got up and did something about it. I exercised and dieted my way from 300 pounds to 179. I'm just over 5"6 and wear a size 12. All of those years of slugging around extra weight gave me the boobs of a 60 year old and two rolls of tummy skin that are impossible to diet away. My sweet boyfriend helped me embrace the thought of plastic surgery and... more

“My Mommy Makeover Was Worth Every...”

After having 2 kids almost 10 years ago, and having lost 80 lbs 3 years ago, my whole torso was a mess. I have worked with a trainer for 3 years now (3 hours a week), and even he was at a loss. He knew how strong I had become, but we could not fix my torso issues. After a lot of consideration, I decided on the mommy makeover. My procedure consisted of a lower body lift, breast lift, and... more

“Scheduled for TT and BA - Dallas, TX”

So I'm a 34 mother of 2 wonderful children but since I had my first child I gained so much weight and have tons of stretch marks.

“Flat and perky - Arlington, TX (4...”

So, I've been wanting some work done to my tummy and breasts waaayyy before I had kids. I have always had body issues. I have 3 great kids all under 10yrs. I had them all via c-section.

“Excellent Experience and I'm a Nurse...”

I had a tummy tuck, flank lipo, breast lift and implants. Every member of his team was friendly and made me feel safe and comfortable.

After reading many experiences and seeing VLOG'S, talking personally to ladies in my area who had this... more

Well, ready or not, I scheduled my surgery. I'm a 48 yr old Mom with 3 kids, 18, 15 and 13. I swore I would never have plastic surgery; yet here I am.

I eat incredibly healthy and just got frustrated that I couldn't get the results I wanted. I... more

“My Mommy Makeover Was Long Overdue...”

I decided to have a breast reduction, liposuction, and a tummy tuck because even with diet, cardio and weight lifting for years, my body would not change. My back and my neck ached all the time from heavy breasts, my belly button was herniated, I had 2 different C-Section scars, and I had to buy size 14 to fit around my waist.

After a back surgery (frontal access), a C Section and a deflated saline implant, I was unhappy when I stood in the mirror naked and just didn't feel sexy because of it.

“So Happy I Chose my Doctor -...”

My breast and tummy were saggy, baggy and deflated. I worked out 4 times a week and saw no results in those areas. I am done with having children, so I was ready to have a nice body again.

I am wife and mother to three wonderful children. I had my first child when I was 22 years old and have since then longed for my "former" body.

I have two wonderful children which I breastfed each for one year. My body recovered quite well after the first one, but not after the second.

“Amazing Artist... a MASTER! -...”

As a Mommy Makeover patient of Dr. B's, I think very highly of him, his staff, and the Dr. owned hospital in Southlake, Texas. For 12 years I followed many referrals and made several appointments for consultation, but was never completely comfortable or able to satisfy myself with the work of other Dr.'s. When I met Dr. B in August of 2010, I knew right away that he was the surgeon for... more

“My Mommy Makeover Experience -...”

The reason that I decided to do a Mommy makeover is because after years of bad eating habbits and two children I really did not like the way body looked at all anymore.

There is the obvious pain, and there is a scar from hip to hip.... more
