• Happy Mother’s Day! Or is it Mother’s Makeover Day? I get confused 🤷‍♂️. Oh well. What better way to celebrate the women that make so many sacrifices carrying, giving birth 🤰 and raising their children. They give everything. Especially their bodies. This amazing mother is enjoying her special day by being post-op day #3 from her makeover consisting of tummy tuck, liposuction & breast lift. Dang! She already looks amazing. Happy Mother’s Day to her and all the other mom’s out there that have given me the privilege of helping to reverse the damages caused by motherhood. . . . #happypatient #happymothersday2019 #mommymakeover #breastlift #noimplants #tummytuck #abdominoplasty #transformationsunday #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #dallastx #houstontx #planotx #friscotxmoms #friscotx

  • Another #nursesweek is in the books. It’s fitting to get this picture of my RN, Alicia, in the middle of doing what she does best-taking care of patients. This one had just undergone #mommymakeover and Alicia is monitoring her vital signs and making sure she’s comfortable as she emerges from anesthesia. She’s definitely a pleasant face to wake up to but more importantly is extremely smart & hard-working with the bedside manner to go with it. It seems it’s always national Ding Dong day or some such worthless national something day. But this is different. Nurses work so hard, always with patients’ best interests at heart, but rarely get the recognition they deserve. Let’s give Alicia and all those nurses out there a big well deserved thank you! . . . #orlife #nurselife #ornurse #plasticsurgery #plasticsurgerynurse #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #friscotx #dallastx #planotx

  • In the operating room performing a total capsulectomy & implant removal plus a mastopexy(breast lift). The patient had large silicone implants placed 12 years ago in an attempt to lift her breasts without doing a mastopexy. News Flash: THIS DOESN’T WORK. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can avoid a lift by getting a larger implant. You just end up with larger droopy breasts. After 12 years she was tired of them. She requested them to be removed and knew she would need a lift to give her the perky look she desired. The second picture shows the implant being removed with the capsule intact around it. Her capsule was normal. No capsular contracture. That’s her 650cc smooth round silicone implant on the back table. Neither implant was ruptured. After 12 years, 10-15% of silicone implants will be ruptured. Look at the difference between the two sides with the left implant out and the lift completed. What a contrast. The final picture is one week post-op. She has some normal bruising but is healing well. I think she looks amazing. This is a great example that you can have your implants removed(even big ones) and end up with beautiful breasts. Most patients I see in consultation think otherwise. Let me know what you think below in comments and ask questions you may have about implants. . . . #breastimplantremoval #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #plasticsurgery #breastlift #mastopexy #breastimplant #plasticsurgeon #friscotx #planotx #dallastx #operatingroom #orlife #enbloccapsulectomy

  • Wow! This patient must be spending hours in the gym and adhering to the strictest diet monitoring every macronutrient that gets past her lips. How does a busy mother of 3 children running a business find the time to do that? She doesn’t 😜. Instead, she came to see me to explore her surgical options. Now don’t get it twisted. Diet & exercise are extremely important and I wholeheartedly endorse. But let’s be real. Most busy moms don’t have the time to do this on their own. After her consultation, she decided on abdominal liposuction with etching to bring out her muscular definition. Some call this hi-def lipo. She also had a reverse tummy tuck(pulling up instead of down-scar well hidden in bra line) to optimize upper abdominal tightness. This after photo is 5 months post-op. Her result is even better because she does exercise almost daily, but just not 2-3 hours per day. Any questions about hi-def Lipo or reverse tummy tuck? Ask away below in comments. . . . #hideflipo #liposuction #mommymakeover #tummytuck #abdominoplasty #beachbabes #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #bodytransformation #mombod #friscotx #planotx #dallastx

  • Not everyone wants silicone implants. They still are the most common implant I use, but more and more women are requesting saline. More specifically, the Ideal Implant. Most of these women state that they want the peace of mind of knowing if their implant leaks. Your body absorbs saline(salt water) so you know almost immediately if the implant leaks, even though that risk is very low. With silicone implants there is the possibility of silent leaks. If the silicone implant leaks, you most likely won’t know because it’s not absorbed by the body in significant amounts. A growing number of women want to avoid the possibility of silent leaks. On top of that, the Ideal Implant is the only implant classified as a structured implant which contributes to it feeling much more natural than the older traditional saline implants. It does this by having two chambers instead of one for the saline. On top of that, the outer chamber has multiple layers which gives it structure and a more solid, natural feel. That’s exactly what this patient wanted. A more natural-feeling implant but without the worry of silent leaks. She wanted to go from an A cup to a D cup and I think we achieved this with these 495cc Ideal Implants. This is her on-table result which will soften and become more natural-appearing over 3 months. Ask me below any questions you may have about the difference between the Ideal Implant and silicone implants. . . . #idealimplants #breastaugmentation #breastimplants #boobjob #summerbodygoals #dallastx #planotx #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #plasticsurgery #friscotx

  • You know the saying, the bellybutton is the window to the solar plexus? Well, I don’t either. I just made it up🤫. But it sounds good. And this is Instagram. I can say whatever I want😜. Seriously, though, I do consider a natural-appearing, pretty bellybutton to be the sine qua non(fancy word) of a successful abdominoplasty. First & foremost, that means not too big. There’s a saying in plastic surgery about bellybuttons after abdominoplasty: if you can’t make it pretty, make it small😉. It’s funny but it’s true. Next, I want it to have a good shape with what we call superior hooding. This can be more vertical in some or horizontal in others. And lastly, I want to conceal the scar as much as possible. And I emphasize possible. There will be a scar around the bellybutton after abdominoplasty. The trick is to hide it as much as possible. Over 15 years I’ve developed my technique of doing this but am always trying to improve it. Why is this important ? Well, the No. 1 concern I hear from patients considering tummy tuck is the appearance of the bellybutton. This patient is about 4 months post-op and her bellybutton, I think, meets these criteria. So go ahead and ask me all the❓you ever had about bellybuttons . . . . #bellybutton #abdominoplasty #tummytuck #tummytuckjourney #plasticsurgeon #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #friscotx #dallastx #planotx #mckinneytx #allentx #summerbodygoals #mommymakeover #bikinibody #bikinibodymommy

  • Wtf happened to her abdomen, you ask? Babies happened, that’s what😜. Two to be exact. Each delivered by C-section through a vertical incision. In addition to a lot of loose skin & stretch marks, she was left with a big bellybutton with a hernia right in the middle. Now I’m sure those two beautiful babies bring her nothing but joy and happiness, right🙌🏻? But the battle scars that remain on her abdomen certainly do not😩. The good news is I can fix them. But, I know what you’re saying: I can’t afford this, plastic surgery is for the rich and famous. Ok, then. How much is that smart device📱 you’re holding in your hand reading this post? What about the phone bill, cable, rent, mortgage, new car 🚗payment, another pair of Lulu Lemon 🍋 leggings? Do any of those things make you happy? Let me answer that for you. HELL NO, they don’t 😉. Trust me, I know. You know what does make you happy? Looking in the mirror and loving what you see. That’s what this patient does now. She told me so and I could see it in the way she walked down the hallway to the exam room, dripping with self-confidence. So what does happiness cost💰, you ask? About $11,000 in this case, which consisted of abdominoplasty with liposuction and bellybutton hernia repair. Worth it? I think so. Let me know your thoughts below and ask your questions abdominal contouring after 👶, or whatever. . . . #happypatient #mommymakeover #tummytuck #tummytuckjourney #abdominoplasty #bellybutton #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #abdominoplasty #plasticsurgery #friscotx #planotx #dallastx

  • Honored to attend D Magazine’s reception recognizing Top Doctors of Collin County 2019. A lot of these things are just paid advertisements, like that list in the magazines in the seat backs of airplanes. Oops! Sorry to those docs I just outed 😜. However, this award is actually voted on by physicians licensed in the state of Texas and you can’t vote for yourself. I always take the time to vote and I only vote for those I think are deserving to be on the list.
