Post-Pregnancy Procedures

Pregnancy and childbirth can result in drastic changes to the body, which cannot be fixed with a strict diet or a rigorous workout regimen. With a procedure called the mommy makeover, however, we can bring back the body you once had—and even improve upon it. This fully customized treatment incorporates various surgeries—tummy tucks, liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lifts—intended to address the physical changes that occur in the breasts and stomach. Moms who complain about deflated breasts can opt for an augmentation; those with sagging may benefit from a lift. These two surgeries can also be combined. A tummy tuck can tighten abdominal skin and repair the muscles when diastasis recti, or ab muscle separation, occurs. Liposuction can be incorporated to tackle pockets of resistant fat. Once we assess your goals, needs, and concerns, we can create the best mommy makeover plan for you.

Breast Surgery

30 Photos123 Reviews124 Q&A1 Offer
Many patients in the Destin, Florida area opt for breast enhancement surgery to improve or restore the appearance of their breasts. At my practice, I use imaging technology that allows the patient to visualize how their breasts will look following surgery. There are various surgical options to choose from: if you’ve always wanted ample, shapely breasts, or if you’ve had a baby and experienced volume loss, you might consider a breast augmentation. My “no scar” technique results in natural-looking breasts and minimal downtime. A breast lift brings perkiness back to drooping breasts by eliminating excess skin. This is also a wonderful procedure for new mothers as well as patients who’ve experienced drastic breast changes due to aging or weight loss. Breast reduction surgery can help patients dealing with the physical and emotional discomfort caused by large breasts—and can also be performed on men, who are self-conscious about their enlarged breasts.

Hip & Butt Enhancement

18 Photos9 Reviews22 Q&A1 Offer
Over the years, butt enhancement surgery has become extremely popular among my Florida patients as a way to get the sexy, feminine curves and shapely buttocks of their dreams. In the past, gluteal implants were typically used to augment the buttocks. Today, fat transfer via a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a more popular path to achieving a curvy, hourglass look. The BBL involves taking excess fat from areas such as the tummy, waist, hips, and thighs via liposuction and safely transferring it to the buttocks. During a BBL, I use a special fat-grafting system that processes the tissue quickly, resulting in better and more effective results than previous methods could offer.

$4,240Liposuction

Mcclendond2

Clinic Matches Demographic Area.

I got liposuction of the back (Upper lower and flanks) with dr. Burden. Pro: it was close to my residence. He seems to care and is honest about possible outcome Con: i feel like this office is more geared toward a certain demographic. Before and during my procedure I felt uneasy. About outcome and care. The office is full of blonde hair , blue eye, size 1 beautiful women. Not seeing someone who looked like me behind the desk or even in the photo gallery of work can truly make a POC feel uneasy. Care and feeling not only heard but understood is what alot of us look for. I went ahead and got the procedure anyways. I was quoted 4,240 for this with the 560$ discount from date deposit and consultation fee (another con). It's been 2weeks and recovery was rough. Ended up refilling my pain meds due to the pain (not uncomfortable, PAIN) . Results look good. However i wish this was something that could've been done with my TT in scheduled a few weeks out from this one. He doesn't not recommend combining due to Florida lipo law, and he doesn't not recommend massages or fajas. He sends you home in most procedures in just a flimsy binder. Overall I'd rate them a 4 out of 5. The nurse are great with answering questions, and I am happy with my results, however I feel like aftercare and presentation of this company can definitely use and upgrade.

I feel much more confident now

He really is good! His skills and expertise was something I was not willing to pass up when choosing a plastic surgeon to do my breast augmentation. The nurses and staff are great also which made the experience all that much better! Thanks Dr.Burden! I feel much more confident now that you fixed me!

Mommy Makeover

MeLisa1971

So happy with everything he did - actually feel sexy naked again

Dr Burden did a 50 year makeover for me. From the moment I walked in his office I felt welcome. He was so down to earth and spent time going over everything I wanted. He performed 2 procedures, full trunk liposuction and 8 weeks later an implant exchange and scar revision. I cried when I looked in the mirror after it was complete. They were tears of joy!! I am so happy with everything he did and actually feel sexy naked again! Not only is he wonderful but his staff is equally as wonderful. I would recommend anyone looking to have work done to call his office. The wait is well worth it and there is a reason he is busy! As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Fixed me up following hematoma & fall after breast lift

I had a fall after my breast lift and ended up with a hematoma on my right side. Joan and Dr. Burden took such excellent care of me and fixed me right up! My breasts look amazing and I am so thankful to them for their excellent care!

Tummy Tuck

Dr. Burden Did an Excellent Job!

After a significant weight loss I had been on the fence with having a tummy tuck for years. I finally found the courage to schedule a consultation and as soon as I entered Dr. Burdens office I was put right at ease. His Nurse Joan was amazing and full of knowledge and as soon as I met Dr. Burden I knew he was the surgeon for me. He was kind and never pushy. His bedside manner was five star and I'm so happy with my results. He did an amazing job and I finally have my confidence back! I feel good in my own skin again! Thank you Dr. Burden and staff for answering all of my questions and your fantastic work.

Tummy Tuck

Destin Plastic Surgery

From the moment I went in for my consultation I felt so comfortable. Dr. Burden and his staff are so amazing. I had my TT, Lipo and MR on Dec 1 but before my procedure Dr. Burden stopped by and reassured me that I was in good hands and I believed him. Thank you Destin Plastic Surgery so far my journey has been amazing. Updated on 27 Apr 2021: The day of my consultation with Dr. Burden I was so nervous but by the end I knew he was the provider that I wanted to go with for my tummy tuck. I am currently 4 months post op and I am loving my results. I am buying two piece bikinis and wearing crop tops again which I haven't wore in over 4 years. Thank you Dr. Burden

I was continually impressed by their professionalism, expediency and willingness to work with my individual needs/concerns. Absolutely recommend Dr. Burden and Destin Plastic Surgery.
