Procedures I'm known for

A Mommy Makeover means different things to different moms. Whether a woman is concerned with her breasts, tummy, back, thighs, or a combination of these areas, I work with my patients to find the right combination of procedures to help her feel better about her shape and restore her pre-baby body (sometimes we're even able to improve upon that pre-baby shape)! I strive to make women feel comfortable discussing these areas about which they may be quite self-conscious and love when patients return after surgery projecting confidence!

As a woman, I understand that feeling comfortable with your breast size, shape, and proportions is important. Making the decision to proceed with breast augmentation surgery is exciting but can also be overwhelming, as there are many choices to make (saline or silicone, round or shaped, volume, projection, type of silicone, scar location, and need for a lift, etc.). One of the most important aspects of my job with breast augmentation patients is the planning. I listen to my patient's goals, take extensive measurements, and spend a lot of time educating each woman on these decisions to help her make the choices that are right for her. Having a good plan is essential to achieving the results that she loves. Unlike many offices, this planning is done by me with my patient, rather than a nurse or other staff member. With this approach, I'm comfortable that my patient is well-prepared for surgery and hope that she's more excited than nervous on the day of her surgery!

A tummy tuck is an operation that is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, at the same time, tighten the abdominal muscles. The surgery is particularly helpful for men and women who, through episodes of weight gain and loss or pregnancy, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin. A tummy tuck can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen and can narrow the waistline.
