Procedures I'm known for
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
The body contouring procedures I perform at my Grand Rapids practice include a lot of lower body lifts. A lower body lift procedure flattens the abdomen, as well as lifts the outer thighs and buttocks., so it's also a popular procedure with my patients who've lost a lot of weight. Most of these patients also opt for breast surgery, for a complete mommy makeover. A lower body lift is major surgery, but it's about the same magnitude and recovery time as a tummy tuck. Women with excess abdominal skin can be great tummy tuck candidates, but when a tummy tuck is performed on someone who also has loose skin on the thighs and butt, the flat tummy doesn't look harmonious with the rest of the body. Depending on the patients goals, I may also perform liposuction to remove stubborn fat.
Breast Surgery
Breast enhancement and revision surgeries represent a large portion of my practice. This includes breast augmentations to enlarge and reshape the breast; a breast lift to improve the position, shape and appearance of droopy breasts (with or without implants); or a breast reduction. My goal is to strive for an attractive, natural-looking result, unless the patient has a different goal. During the consultation, we have our patients do sizers and we talk about what different implants offer in profiles, shapes, and fullness. I take a lot of time ordering a variety of implants for my augmentation patients to make sure we pick out the perfect and prettiest ones. We look forward to welcoming you to our practice located in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck (aka abdominoplasty) tightens loose skin and removes excess fat in the abdominal area, while addressing weakened abdominal muscles. I like to pull the muscles tightly together to give women a curve at the waistline while keeping my incision low. Often, I use liposuction for shaping at the Hips and Flanks. This enhances the "finishing touches" of the silhouette and overall appearance. I also liposuction the pre-pubic area, as that area will get a big "pick up" and no fatty pad over it. My goal of this surgery is to have an attractive new contour that appears natural and feminine. We look forward to welcoming you to our practice located in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
