Post-Pregnancy Procedures

Mommy makeovers are a powerful way to restore (or improve on) your pre-pregnancy body. This customized protocol is unique to each patient, but at my Salt Lake City, Utah offices, it commonly includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation or breast lift. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can also be performed as part of a mommy makeover. This combination of procedures can correct common issues such as separated abdominal muscles, loose skin around the midsection, stubborn pockets of fat, stretch marks, and sagging or deflated breasts. Optimal candidates are healthy, at or near their ideal body weight, and finished with growing their families. I look forward to learning about your mommy makeover goals and tailoring a treatment plan just for you.

Breast Surgery

53 Photos110 Reviews1104 Q&A0 Offers
Breast surgery is my primary area of expertise, and breast augmentation is the most common operation in my Salt Lake City practice. I spend a great deal of time analyzing each patient’s chest dimensions and body proportions, before recommending the best treatment option, whether this be a breast implant or fat grafting, creating the perfect plan for the ultimate results. I offer breast lifts for those patients who are looking to elevate sagging breasts and return youthful fullness to their busts. This procedure can be combined with breast implant surgery or fat grafting if you would also like to enlarge your breasts and correct deflation. My goal is to provide you with the most natural results that best fit your frame, creating feminine contours that complement your unique shape. I have a more than 10-year history and expertise with breast reduction and breast reconstruction surgeries.

En Bloc Capsulectomy

En Bloc Breast Implant Removal

I did extensive research on surgeons who preform proper en bloc breast implant removal surgeries from CA, NV and UT before I came to the decision that Dr. Rueben was the best. He has an excellent track record of happy patients, double board certified, beautiful results and he cherry picked the best staff. I was confident in his skills but very nervous about the anesthesia because I’m extremely sensitive and have not handled anesthesia well in the past. The anesthesiologist Sumer listened to my concerned and was so caring and reassuring. I woke up 15 minutes after the surgery feeling like I had a good nights sleep, zero negative side effects, no nausea or drugged feeling at all. I was so worried about removing my implants because I had no idea what my breasts would look like. After taking off my bandages and seeing the results for the first time, I was blown away. My husband and I both agree they look so good! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Dr Rueben is a true artist and makes magic in his state of the art surgery center. Choosing 22 Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I made for myself and I couldn’t be happier

Dr Reuben is AMAZING. He truly is an artist and has perfected his craft. I am extremely happy with my results. I had breast augmentation, 360 tummy tuck with the flur de lis as well as some lipo. I am so happy that I decided to go with Dr. Reuben. He made me feel heard with all of my concerns before and after surgery.

Breast Implant Revision

Breast Implant Revision/downsize to Smaller Implant

Dr. Reuben and his staff have been wonderful throughout my breast revision. I immediately felt comfortable after my initial consultation. They are friendly and take time to answer all of my questions. Dr. Reuben recommended an appropriate implant size for my petite frame and I am very pleased with the results!

Book a Consult with Dr Brian Reuben!

I wanted to get my implants out for a long time. I had a consultation with a different surgeon who said he could take out my implants, but that I wouldn’t like the results and said my chest would look ‘sad’. He didn’t offer a breast lift, and I didn’t know it was an option. He suggested I just exchange the implants for new ones. I didn’t go through with it and didn’t know what to do. A year later I had a consultation with Dr Brian Reuben. He was so kind and supportive. He didn’t try to talk me into getting new implants. He suggested I have a breast lift. He did tell me I don’t have a lot of breast tissue but was optimistic and supportive of what I wanted. I am a year post op now. And I love my results. Dr Reuben did such a good job, and I got exactly what I wanted.

AWESOME Experience!

This is my second surgery with Dr. Reuben. He is absolutely amazing. This surgery was for a BBL in combination with Lipo 360 and some inner thigh lipo. I believe it was considered a skinny BBL. I am extremely satisfied with the results! The after photos I included are 3 months post opp. The results are very natural. I also visited the hyperbaric chamber close by and had 3 sessions each consecutive day after my surgery. I think it helped to retain the fat that was grafted. Dr Reuben also did a breast implant revision surgery for me about 2 years before this, and they turned out perfectly. Dr Reuben and his staff are always a pleasure to work with. I wanted to share my experience to help other people make an informed decision on who they choose as their surgeon.

Highly recommended. Dr. Rueben the best surgeon in the valley. He is professional, has exceptional surgical skills, has great bedside manner and really cares about his patients. I appreciate his documentation of each procedure and the fact that I can access all information through the secure patient portal. His surgical skills and his stitching is unmatched! The clinic is supported by an outstanding team of nurses and staff who made me feel comfortable, supported and heard. They paid attention to every detail and responded quickly to my messages; patiently answering any questions I had. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon who combines top-notch expertise with compassionate care, Dr. Rueben is your go-to.

Pre op - It's time for me to finish the transformation!

After losing nearly 100 lbs. and maintaining my current weight, it's time for me to finish the transformation! I always knew that I would want a tummy tuck for the loose skin, and as I achieved my goal weight I decided that a breast lift and lipo would create the results I'm looking for. I had a short list of board certified plastic surgeons in Utah and ultimately decided that Dr. Brian Reuben was the right surgeon for me. I was referred by a friend who had a breast augmentation and loved her results and experience with him. I saw why in my consultation. From the moment I stepped foot into 22 Plastic Surgery, I was warmly welcomed by every member of the staff and made to feel immediately comfortable. Dr. Reuben listed patiently to me as I discussed my goals and the procedures I believed would get me there. He clearly explained the benefits and risks of each procedure and guided me through how they were done, as well as shared his experience in doing them. He also clearly answered all questions my husband and I had, and at no point did we feel rushed or pressured. We really connected with him and his staff, feeling like he was the best fit. Together, we landed on a belt lipectomy, breast lift with reduction and fat transfer, liposuction of the hips and thighs and Renuvion of the abdomen, hips and thighs, which were the procedures I had intended to inquire about. The patient coordinator, Bree, is an absolute delight! She has been prompt in her responses to my questions and very knowledgeable. Not only that, she's just so kind and seems genuinely excited to be on this journey with me. I've booked my surgery for September 10 and will continue to update my review with my experiences! Updated on 24 Aug 2024: I had my pre-op appointment this week, and I am still so glad I chose 22 Plastic Surgery for my procedures! Everyone I encountered is beyond kind and welcoming, and they make you feel right at home. My appointment was with Cassie, who was just so personable and knowledgeable! We clicked immediately and that made the appointment both valuable and fun. She was very thorough in explaining what I should expect, and very thorough in answering all of the questions from my husband and me. We never felt rushed throughout the appointment, and Cassie made sure to ask repeatedly what other questions we had so nothing was left unanswered. She was also clear that if I did have other questions or needed something else that I could reach out anytime, either before or after surgery. I left the appointment feeling like I knew what to expect and that I was going to have all the support I need to have a positive surgical experience. My prescriptions were called in by the time I got home and ready for pick up, Cassie shared additional information as promised via the app, I have the supplies recommended during my appointment, and now just counting down the days until my surgery! Updated on 14 Sep 2024: I had my surgery on Tuesday, and it was just an exemplary experience from start to finish! I was the first surgery of the day, so I arrived at about 645. I was greeted on arrival with big smiles and enthusiasm that immediately put me at ease. And that’s how everyone was - just genuinely friendly and excited to be on this journey with me. I didn’t have any anxiety or fear at all- just excitement that was matched by Dr. Reuben and my entire care team. Because the camera was broken during my pre-op, we started with my before pics before going into the exam room where Dr. Reuben closely examined all of the areas that he was going to work on and marked them up to make sure the work he was doing was going to match my expectations. From there, it was a goodbye to my husband and into the OR, where the last thing I remember saying was, “Oh, I feel so relaxed now”. Lights out for the next 6 hours! The next thing I remember was waking in the recovery room with my husband and care team beside me. I was groggy and sore but in exceptionally little pain. I attribute this to the exparel - DO NOT SKIP IT! Yes, it’s an extra charge but worth every single penny in easing the pain in the first few days. I also chose to get the nausea patch that I wore behind my ear, and I’ve had little to no nausea the entire time. Dr. Reuben personally called my husband to check on me the evening I went home, and called me the next day to check in. The personal touch is what really makes a difference - he called from his personal phone number and made it clear that we could use it to reach him for anything at anytime. Urinating was the first challenge because of the catheter they had on during surgery. I didn’t urinate until the day after surgery, and it took a few times before it felt like I cold urinate normally. I was diligent with using both a stool softener and laxative, and had my first bowel movement 4 days post-op. The drains are a necessary nuisance. I have 3 in my abdomen, and I expect they’ll be removed at my 1 week appointment. I showered 2 days post-op and that was very difficult- I should have given it one more day because it really took it out of me. My pain has been exceptionally well managed. Coughing makes me feel like I’m going to die, and sneezing is even worse - I had a couple bad fits of coughing from a tickle on my throat that made me feel like I was in absolute agony, but the prescribed meds did their job and we were able to get it well under control. As for the results - I’m beyond delighted with what I’m seeing so far! So delighted, in fact, that when my husband showed me the pic of me on the operating table after the work was done, I cried with happiness. I had a lot done and it’s going to take time to see the full results, but so far I’m loving it! I was worried a fat transfer to my breast wouldn’t get me the fullness of was looking for, but right now my breasts look perfect! As the swelling goes down, I’ll post more updates but right now, I love my results and am beyond thrilled I chose Dr. Reuben as my surgeon! Updated on 19 Dec 2024: I have never liked what I saw in the mirror - until now! I am 3 months out from having significant body work at 22 Plastic Surgery with Dr. Reuben - belt lipectomy, Lipo 360, breast lift with reduction, fat transfer to the breasts, lipo of lateral and medial thighs and Renuvion. Recovery was a journey but easier than I had envisioned- and now that I’m 3 months post-op, I’m beyond thrilled with how my body is shaping up! Beyond his clear, expert surgical techniques (just look at those pretty scars!!), Dr. Reuben is so kind, knowledgeable and invested in giving you exactly what you need to feel like your best self. When I had a wound issue with the incision on my back, he was very reassuring that it would heal well even though I was anxious about it. I got the support and guidance I needed to properly care for it so it healed beautifully - no concerns at all! Now that I’m healed, I’m exploring additional procedures and would only consider Dr. Reuben and the 22 team for my care. Next up is an additional fat transfer to the breasts to increase size (I knew I likely would want to go bigger than 1 transfer could accomplish, and I didn’t want implants); and a thigh and arm lift. I would without question do what I’ve already done all over again, and couldn’t be happier with every aspect of my experience!
