Post-Pregnancy Procedures

Having children is not just a life-changing experience, but a body-transforming one as well. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can be incredibly tough on the body, stretching the skin and muscles to the point that they can’t return to their original state without surgical help. Mommy makeover plastic surgery is a popular option for women to restore their bodies to their pre-pregnancy appearance—or even better. At my Sarasota practice, mommy makeover surgery typically includes some form of breast enhancement (breast augmentation, a breast lift, or breast reduction), liposuction, and a tummy tuck. I also offer fat transfer, which can be a great way to enhance your results. By undergoing multiple procedures simultaneously, you’ll see a dramatic transformation while significantly cutting down on your recovery time. During your consultation at Florida Plastic Surgery, we’ll discuss your mommy makeover goals and tailor a treatment plan to give you the results you desire.

Breast Augmentation

Perfect Results!!

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Hamwi in August 2025, and it was truly the best decision! He guided me through every step of the process and answered all my questions about sizing. I shared what I liked and didn’t like, and he recommended the perfect size, it couldn’t be more spot on! He even called me the night of my surgery to check in. Dr. Hamwi truly cares about his patients!

Kristopher Hamwi, MD

Better than expected - very kind and warm doctor and staff

Very kind and warm Dr and staff. Everything fell into place for me when I reached out to Dr. Hamwi's office. He even picked up the phone when I called because he happened to be right at the front desk. I was immediately put at ease by his demeanor

Liposuction 360-Great Experience Dr. Hamwi ArtLipo

Dr. Hamwi and Chelsea C.S.T were wonderful! I had a Lipo procedure done before at Sonobello 10 years prior and I can tell you it is not worth the money to go to these type of places. I had lumps in my abdomen and just weird leftover fat pockets that were more noticeable when I worked out and lost weight. I knew that I had 1 more shot to get this right since I didn't want a bunch of scar tissue from going too often to get things "fixed". I saw Dr. Hamwi at Artlipo's videos on YouTube and was sold!! I love that they have you awake and he stands you up to see areas that he may need to do more work on to get your shape proportioned and remove as much fat as possible. (They had me asleep at the other place and laid on the table the whole time, they never saw what I looked like when I stood up to be sure I was even). I will be honest and say that the awake procedure was a bit uncomfortable, not really due to pain, but it is just a weird feeling with the cannula, but I much rather make sure it is done right. Chelsea was assisting him and she was great! During the procedure she kept me calm and Dr. Hamwi was fun to talk to the whole time! They both did a great job at keeping me distracted during the procedure and he constantly would check if I was okay and would take breaks when necessary. Chelsea takes the time to followup with me every two weeks and advises of the changes I should be experiencing at each milestone. My recovery has been easy with all changes taking place as expected. They boast on their site about using a technique to remove as much fat as possible rather than only partially removing fat and you can definitely tell the difference. I agree that the ArtLipo technique has caused my skin to adhere much better to my frame than other procedures where they don't remove enough fat risking weird lumps that are not visual as you are lying down. They are a bit more expensive than a place like Sonobello but you definitely get what you pay for. I was working out/lifting weights faithfully for years and I know that I would have never achieved my ideal shape with diet and exercise alone. I could not make my waist and small of my back shrink-in giving me the hourglass figure I have always wanted. The more I worked the more my waist and hips would stay in the same proportion to each other. The lower back lipo procedure really does accentuate the buttocks making it look like you had a butt-lift. the best part is you can see the work they do for yourself on youtube and will be blown away, go see for yourself. I will followup with before and after pictures soon. I was waiting to get to 6 weeks so the swelling would have come down enough to give accurate photos.

A pleasant process with spectacular result

Received liposuction from Dr. Hamwi 10/19/23. At the beginning of the procedure, he injects numbing agents into the treatment area, as many other patients have described, this is the "worst part". Surprisingly even this tumescent injection process was more tolerable than anticipated, would objectively say the pain and discomfort level did not exceed 3/10. Denaisea, the assistant, was present the entire time and would help distract you from this process. Everything after this was smooth sailing. To be honest, during the procedure I felt so comfortable I began to become sleepy, haha. And was already planning future procedures with Dr. Hamwi even whilst the canula was inside my body! I am a "veteran" when it comes to getting elective surgeries and have had experience with many acclaimed surgeons, Dr. Hamwi is the most calm, patient and humble doctor I have come across. He takes his time, communicates expectations clearly, and boy does he deliver! To anyone considering getting any procedures with Dr. Hamwi, rest assured you are in good hands, 10/10 recommended.

My experience with Dr. Hamwi far exceeded my expectations

My experience with Dr. Hamwi far exceeded my expectations. He and his staff are amazing. They genuinely care about your surgery and aftercare. The communication between Dr. Hamwi and myself has been wonderful. He truly cares and takes the time to listen. My arms have been a source of embarrassment for many years. I researched extensively for a surgeon who had results that impressed me. I'm realistic yet selective about whom I entrust to do surgery on my body. Although I live out of state, it was well worth the travel to get my beautiful "new" arms. All that said, I 100% recommend Dr. Hamwi and will go to him for any procedures that I may decide to do in the future. He is exceptional!

My results are so natural!

I am not sure where to start. Dr.Hamwi’s bedside manner is beyond what I could have expected. After my liposuction procedure, he gave me his personal cell and every time I called with any problem, he listened, comforted and addressed all my concerns no matter how little they were. There was a very small area that really bothered me, after I healed. This could have been because I didn’t follow all post operative instructions of not lifting anything. Anyway, Dr. Hamwi fixed my small problem area with fat grafting just to ease my mind. He did this free of charge and completely restored my confidence! Also, the staff in his office were so comforting and friendly. The nurse, Danaisa even called me a few times to check in on my recovery. I was able to text her anytime I had a question. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon who genuinely cares, is compassionate, and very knowledgeable, Dr.Hamwi is phenomenal! You won’t regret it. My results are so natural!

The procedure was painless!

First , I’ll say that Dr. Hamwi is a perfectionist! He is amazing at what he does. I’m so mad that I did not find him sooner on my journey. He is funny, he checks up on you and (my experience) the procedure was painless!!!! I’ve had many procedures and none have gone as smoothly as this. Dr. Hamwi explained what he was doing the entire time throughout the procedure and I like that I am awake to say a can you take out a little more here please LOL…

Lipo 360

Phenomenal doctor - could not be happier with my results

I got awake lipo 360 from Dr. Hamwi a week ago and I couldn’t have had a better experience. From the time I reached out, I had a call from him and an appointment scheduled within the week. His nurse called me 2 weeks before my surgery and answered any questions I had. She was kind and patient with me and made sure before we got off the phone that I was comfortable with all the information I had been given. The day of my surgery was a breeze. Both Dr. hamwi and his nurse Danaisa were absolute angels and made me very comfortable the entire procedure. They both made sure I was not in any pain and talked to me the entire time to ensure I was calm and okay during the surgery. The post op appointment was just as wonderful as the experiences above. I could not be happier with my results a week out, and I know they will only get better. This team is kind, professional, and truly go the extra mile to make sure you’re not only happy, but safe. 10/10 experience.
