AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Mommy makeover is one of the most popular procedures in my St. Louis office. After childbirth and breastfeeding, many women find that their post-baby bodies are vastly different than they were pre-pregnancy. Stretched skin now hangs loose, once voluminous breasts sag and look deflated, abdominal muscles have separated, and excess weight has built up in the lower body, resisting diet and exercise. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures done as one surgery, to address the specific needs of the patient. The surgery can include (but isn’t limited to) a tummy tuck, breast lift and/or augmentation, liposuction, and labiaplasty. I also offer Viveve, a noninvasive radiofrequency therapy that helps stimulate collagen to tighten the vagina without surgery.

Breast Surgery
••
Cosmetic breast procedures account for more than half of the procedures performed at my practice in St. Louis. I average over 260 breast augmentation procedures per year, with or without a breast lift. Many of my patients, who come from throughout the Missouri and Illinois region, choose to have other procedures to be performed at the same time. This may include a tummy tuck, liposuction, body lift, arm lift or thigh lift procedure. During a consultation at my practice, we currently use a 3D imaging device and prosthetic sizing, to help patients to find the optimal breast implant size for them. Most of my patients opt for the newest generation silicone gel implant. These implants are more cohesive and form stable, which lowers the risks of rippling, rupture and gel migration in the event of a leak. I feel it's very important for me to listen to my patient's expectations for their ultimate size and shape, and to help guide them in making the right decision.

Phenomenal Experience with Dr. Prada and Nurse Alli
I recently had a tummy tuck and a breast lift with augmentation, and I cannot say enough about the incredible care I received from Dr. Prada and Nurse Alli. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Prada’s professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, confident demeanor gave me full trust in his expertise. He took the time to truly understand my goals and explain every step of the process, and the results
...read moreI went to three different plastic surgeons in the St. Louis area for a breast lift consultation. Dr. Prada was my last stop. Since I am not native to this area, I did not realize that one of my consultations was also in practice with Dr. Prada.
From the moment Dr. Prada walked in the room and we discussed what I was looking for, I knew that he was the right surgeon for me. He listened to what I had to say, he answered all of my questions, he told me what to expect, and what his

I researched this surgery for years.
I had an awful buldge because of muscle separation, loose skin from pregnancy and weight loss, as well as bad back pain and rashes due to my large breasts. My back pain is gone. I can do sit ups again and I look fantastic!!!
Thank you!
I couldn’t be more pleased with the work Dr. Prada has done on me (Breast Augmentation, mini tummy tuck to fix my c section incision scar/shelf and liposuction of the abdomen, hips, inner and outer thighs and inside of the knees). He is seriously incredible!!! My results are beyond perfect and he is so precise that the scarring is minimal. He didn’t one time pressure me into any procedures I wasn’t inquiring about, he let me tell him what I wanted or disliked and made suggestions
...read moreI was nervous about having a breast augmentation and liposuction but Dr Prada was very good at going through the procedures with me. I love my post-surgery self.
Breast Augmentation- 560 and 605 cc; lipo in arms, stomach and hips.
At first I was hesitant to stage my two surgeries but Dr. Prada was very realistic about achieving the results I was looking for and what was needed to get there, and also keeping those results long term. I had a breast lift first and 4 months later, augmentation. I could not be more pleased with my results! They are perfect!!

Prior to finding Dr. Prada I had multiple prior breast augmentations, a major infection that required me to be rushed to Kansas City in the middle of a storm for emergency explant surgery that left me with two distant cousins as breasts. All of my confidence and feminism was gone.
Then I found Dr. Prada and had my first consultation to try to fix me. And when I tell you I have never met a plastic surgeon like Dr. Prada before, I mean it. There are a ton of

I'm 5'11" and pretty fit but had twins after a singleton, so my skin was very stretched after two pregnancies / 3 kids.
I know people read these posts and are skeptical. People should do their own research on their surgeon, view the before and afters. Watch the videos of the procedures of your interest. I was one of these people. I went to the five top plastic surgeons in St. Louis, for consultations some more than once. I spent 4,000 in consultation fees just doing my research. No lie. Being in the medical field myself, I’ve seen alot of mishaps. I wanted the best I could get in St. Louis, Mo. I
