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.

Great experience from start to finish! Love my arms and would definitely pick dr Hamwi again if I had to. I would recommend him to anyone! His staff was also amazing including Danasia who is very detailed. Thank you Dr. Hamwi for my beautiful arms!

Ask for a consult with Sia. She is the best! Highly skilled, knowledgeable, and a perfectionist. She understands the importance of a natural result and executes it every time while keeping you safe. If you are on the fence about getting any type of injectable, go see Sia and you will never be disappointed. She is

From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Hamwi was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely listened to my goals and concerns. Surgery day went smoothly, and just a few weeks post-op, I’m already so happy with how everything is healing and looking. The results

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!

Response from Dr. Kristopher Hamwi, MDHi there, thank you for your kind review! We are pleased to hear about your positive experience with our team.
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

Response from Dr. Kristopher Hamwi, MDThank you for the 5 star recommendation! We truly appreciate it.
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

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
