Absolutely. This combination procedure is often called a mommy makeover because patients are often women who have had children and who are looking to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. You should choose an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon to perform this type of operation.

Tummy tuck surgery is a procedure that removes excess skin from the abdominal area and, in some cases, repairs abdominal muscles separated during pregnancy. A good candidate for this procedure can be either a man or woman who's lost significant weight and is left with sagging skin and a protruding tummy. This isn't a weight-loss procedure and patients should be in good overall health and at or near the weight at which they intend to maintain.

This is a common question. A Brazilian butt lift involves removing excess fat from any area of the body using liposuction and re-injecting it into the buttocks to enhance the shape. Deciding where to extract the fat is discussed during the consultation, but common areas include the flanks, abdomen, and thighs.

Yes, Dr. Olson performs plastic surgery to address all areas of the face. When people generally talk about facelift surgery, they're referring to a procedure that focuses on the lower third of the face, such as the jawline and nasolabial folds. A mid-facelift involves sagging in the cheeks and below the eyes.

The cost of a tummy tuck, like all plastic surgery procedures. depends on the specific needs of the patient. Dr. Olson typically combines liposuction with tummy tuck surgery to ensure the best results and the cost of the surgery can increase if liposuction is needed for multiple areas. The starting cost of a tummy tuck at our practice can be $4,500 but can be as much as $10,000 in some cases.

While it can be done the results and recovery may be better if done separately.

For women and men who are near their goal weight but who have stubborn fat bulges, CoolSculpting is an effective treatment. It is not a weight loss treatment. The results also appear gradually, as the body removes the dead fat cells.

The downtime needed after a laser skin treatment depends on the type of laser used for the procedure. Laser skin resurfacing treatments can vary in how aggressive they are, depending on the patient's needs and preferences. Patients who want less downtime may choose to have multiple treatments. Other patients may want a single treatment and need 2 to 3 weeks of recovery.

The time it takes to perform a mommy makeover surgery depends on the procedures being combined in the operation. Typically, cosmetic breast surgery is combined with a tummy tuck and liposuction. The surgery may last several hours. Make sure you choose a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) to perform this surgery.

Yes, silicone breast implants have an excellent safety record. Breast implants filled with silicone gel are among the most studied medical devices in history. In recent years, a rare type of lymphoma has been linked to a specific type of silicone implants with textured surfaces. Those implants are no longer used for breast augmentation.

This is one of the most asked questions in online forums. The only way to know if you would need a breast lift combined with breast implants is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Patients often want to avoid breast lift surgery because of the incisions needed, but it's the best choice for patients with moderate to severe breast sagging.
