“Mommy makeover” is a common term that generally refers to rejuvenation of the breasts and body in one surgery. The procedure gets its name because it is often requested by mothers who wish to reverse the physical effects of pregnancy, birth, and child-rearing.

MemoryShape™ breast implants are a highly-cohesive, “tear drop” shaped implant option produced by Mentor® – one of the leading implant manufacturers worldwide.

This is a really popular time of year for patients that want body contouring and liposuction. The procedure is outpatient and now that the kids are back to school, it gives the parents (mom or dad) a chance to do something for themselves, still in plenty of time to get that figure optimized for the holidays.

Many of my patients may not know I’m the son of a well-known Texas modern artist. He was a painter, sculptor, teacher, philosopher, and good person. It is from his sense of detail and aesthetics and well as artistic influence that my decision to become a plastic surgeon came very naturally. He passed away two years ago, and I wanted […]
