What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a procedure that involves treatment of various areas of the body at once. During pregnancy and childbirth, along with aging, many women notice issues such as:

About 25 years ago, women who were interested in breast augmentation had no other option than to have saline implants placed. Due to issues with early silicone implants, not many women wanted them even if they were available. We have come a long way since those days. Now, more than 90% of the breast augmentation cases that are performed involve silicone breast implants. The safety concerns that existed in the early 90s have been virtually eliminated by restricting how silicone implants are made. If you are over the age of 22 and you are considering breast augmentation, you need to […]
Motherhood provides a woman with numerous joys. Along with them come a few frustrations.

It’s actually a great thing to ask this question. Wondering about your long-term results from liposuction means […]

While trends have changed, breast augmentation continues to be one of the leading cosmetic surgery procedures among women of all ages. In recent years, we have seen a decrease in the degree of enhancement women are seeking. At the same time, we also see more interest in breast reduction.
Women who choose to reduce natural breast size do so for very personal reasons. Having breast proportions that harmonize with body type seems to make these patients feel more confident in their shape and certainly happier with it. Here, we discuss […]
Abdominoplasty, also known as the Tummy Tuck, is a fantastic treatment option for men and women who are interested in restoring firmness to their midsection. The efficacy and safety of this procedure are reflected in the numbers; more than 125,000 American’s have undergone abdominoplasty each year for the past several years. While the excitement of impending results (Hello, better body!) takes center stage, many patients also experience slight apprehension about their tummy tuck. Specifically, patients have questions about the recovery process.
There is no benefit in being vague about tummy tuck recovery. Without clear, transparent information, patients may imagine that recovery […]
