I can tell you I followed and researched Dr. Amaka for almost two years before making my decision to take the leap and have my tummy tuck done, by her and her staff. The same infectious spirit and wisdom you see online is the exact spirit you see in person. I was nervous and had the same thoughts I am sure you have in your own mind as well. I can put many of thoughts to rest. She was very sweet, honest, caring and gave clear expectations of what I could expect for every step of the way. The pain, bruising, no laughing, coughing etc. ( no for real .. don’t do it your first week) Her staff is the same way, they respond to your questions and concerns in a very professional and timely manner and they are also so very friendly. She prayed with and over me and that calmed my nerves and anxiety so much, and I knew she was meant to be, because from the moment I said yes mentally and made my initial appointment my surgery was done within 6 months due to cancellations. Everything went so smoothly and worked out perfectly, pre and post op. I have even ventured out and tried her skincare products and Botox and I haven’t been disappointed with anything I received from her office and staff. My suggestion to you is do your self a favor and treat yourself to something you deserve and trust me Dr. Amaka and her staff will not disappoint. I truly am glad I choose her and would do it all over again if I had to. She is truly amazing at her craft.
Dr. Amaka and her team surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, thoroughness and care. Each one demonstrated their passion for patient care at every preliminary appointment and follow up.
I am a mother of three (now grown children). I have always wanted to have a tummy tuck for at least 17 years. I put it off due to raising a family and the fear of the surgery. I exercised regularly and was never able to achieve the results I wanted. I turned 50 in 2023 and decided if there was ever a time to have the surgery, now was the time. I started researching doctors in April. I knew it had to be someone local. Dr. Amaka’s name came up in my search and I found out that two other people I knew used her and had nothing but good things to say about their experience. At the time she had a wait list. I started following her on Instagram, I called a few other places and went to 3 other consultations before I was able to get an appointment. When I met Dr. Amaka and her staff, I knew she was the ONE. She checked all my boxes and more. I cannot say enough about her and her staff. She listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and gave me her professions advise. In a nutshell, I am SO glad I found Dr. Amaka. I absolutely LOVE my natural looking results. I wish I had done it sooner, however, if I did, I would not have met her so it worked out as it should. My recovery was better than I expected. I was sore, the best way for me to describe the pain was like I did 500 crunches, and the pain followed the next day. My scar is barely visible. I did get massages about 5-6 weeks out and my massage therapist always talked about how good my results looked. Dr. Akaka says to trust the process and she is right. It is a process, and I cannot wait to see my results at my 1 anniversary. I am forever grateful. Dr. Amaka, Ty, Victoria, Ayana, Madison, Lisa, and the rest of the team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Where do I start? The beginning sounds like the right place, I have been considering a tummy tuck and BBL for over 15 years. I’ve seen countless doctors for consultations and then one day I was scrolling tiktok and got this gut feeling when I came across the talented Dr. Amaka. I instantly followed her and began to do my research on her as well as her medical background. She checked all the boxes, her work spoke for itself, and the reviews were phenomenal. I came to realize that not only was she a medical doctor with an extraordinary talent, but she performed her work with empathy and care. She demonstrated strength and wisdom in her profession and was a God Fearing woman in her life. My next step was to call in and have a consultation with her. Victoria made the booking process a breeze. I was instantly embraced by Dr. Amaka’s Aura. She has this energy about her that made it easy for me to trust her with my goals. From my very first encounter with her staff I have received nothing but the best care. Dr. Amaka and her staff are polite, knowledgeable, professional and provides exceptional care. Fast forward to September 26th 2023 my daughter brought me in for my surgery where she received constant reports from Ty-Lin throughout the process. This made her feel comfortable and secure while I was undergoing this procedure. Jennifer was the absolute best anesthesiologist Ive ever met. I absolutely love my results. I got MY dream body!!!! I love my figure and the fat that stayed from the transfer was perfect. My belly button looks like I was born with it with no permanent scarring. I initially picked out a tattoo to cover my tummy tuck scar however there’s barely one there. You cant even tell I had one done. My massage therapist repeatedly compliments Dr. Amaka’s work. Thank you Dr. Amaka for being the Fairy Godmother that gave me my dream body. You have a pure Gift from God himself. I can not thank you enough for the care I received, the warm welcome provided to my daughters, the follow ups and the exceptional staff. I would do this ten times over as long as Dr. Amaka was the one to do it. A special thanks to Madison, Lisa, Victoria, Ty-Lin and the entire Amaka Aesthetics team. -Shantell M.
It’s something about doing something for YOU! Before and after kids, I always told myself and husband that I would have a mommy makeover/restoration. After kids, sitting with the changes of my body was hard! I began my research and Dr. Amaka made my dreams come true. From bedside manner, transparency, honesty, organization, professionalism, and craftsmanship, Dr. Amaka and her team are the best. My journey from consultation to post-op recovery, the team has been with me every step of the way. From Victoria working to ensure timely scheduling, to Ty providing the most detailed pre-op information, to Dr. Amaka’s calming voice and spirit pre-surgery and taking the time to personally call me after surgery, to Lisa’s home visit, and to Maddie providing the best post-op information. Every call, every email, every text, every question has been responded to with promptness and detail. I am 6 weeks post-op and the results are life-changing and this is the beginning! If you have questioned whether to proceed with a mommy makeover, look no further! Reach out to Dr. Amaka and her team. Follow your dreams! Do it for YOU! Become restored! I AM RESTORED and loving it!!
I am 45 years old, and my body has been through a lot…2 children, emergency abdominal surgery, hysterectomy, spinal fusion (through the abdomen), and excessive weight. Needless to say, about 2.5 years ago, I decided enough was enough. I completely changed my eating habits and began exercising. As you can see from my before picture, I was left with a lot of extra skin. That is where Dr. Amaka came in! This amazing woman knows how to sculpt a body! The entire process was so very pleasant. Her staff is absolutely amazing. They make you feel like just one of the girls. Dr. Amaka has an unshakable faith in God, and that put my mind at ease…I knew I was in good hands. She is patient and is always available to help ease your worries and educate you. If you are considering a tummy tuck, drainless is the way to go, and Dr. Amaka has mastered her technique. I have muscle definition… me… a 45 year old grandma!!! I love my restored body.
Dr. Amaka is the best to ever do it!!!! Very knowledgeable and caring surgeon!!!! I highly recommend her!!! Her staff is amazing and very knowledgeable as well!!! They make you feel like you’re part of their family!!!
Dr. Amaka and her team are absolutely AMAZING! Her bedside manner is top notch! She is professional and cares about each of her patients! I am 2 months post op and I am very pleased with me results! There was always a nurse available whenever I had any questions! I appreciate Dr. Amaka and her team and highly recommend!
I chose Dr. Amaka because she really embodies and understands the ideals of balance. Being that she is one of the top 10 reconstruction surgeons in the United States she will look at you as a whole being and not just the area you are wanting to change. Her attention to detail when concerning balance, symmetry and overall appearance and aesthetics is unbelievable. I trusted her judgement when it came to my surgery and I actually didn’t even show her pictures of what I was envisioning - I just allowed her to do what she thought best based off my wishes and I am so glad I did. Additionally her team is amazing - I’m pretty sure I laugh every time I come into the office for my check up and feel incredibly cared for and looked after. They all really do care for you as their patient but also as a person. Honestly the whole experience from start to end was just lovely.
Dr. Amaka and her staff are great!!!!! My surgery went awesome and my results are everything I hoped for. I’ve had several follow up visits, and each one had been progressive and informative. I recommend her to someone every week! Don’t hesitate using her as your surgeon. You won’t regret it!
Great question. It does not appear that you would need a lift after removal of your implants, as your nipples and areola are in a good position. I would recommend you consider fat grafting at the time of explant - it also depends on how much volume you actually want in terms of breast size as well. Hope that answers your question!
Great question and good for you for doing your homework! You actually could do a breast augmentation alone with a dual plane. Your nipples are right at the level of your fold so you don't necessarily NEED a lift. Also you have pretty noticeable asymmetry so you may benefit from different size implants as well. Take care and best of luck to you in your search!
After breast augmentation, the breasts can remain swollen for months. I advise patients not to officially go for sizing and bra fitting until at least 3 months.
Awesome question. The short answer is never. "Official" growth from natural growth typically goes on until your in your late teens to early twenties. BUT, with babies, age, menopause, weight changes, the breasts continue to develop and change. For example, with pregnancy some women experience breast enlargement, whereas some experience no change. With breastfeeding, the breasts usually lose their spandex and can decrease in size and fullness. As women, our bodies go through so many hormone related changes through our lifetime and the breast is a hormone responsive organ, so its also subject to changes even with relatively advanced age.
Sucking and pressing the breast will not lead to a long-term permanent increase in size. The only way to do this is through breast enhancement - either breast implants or fat transfer.
