While women want bigger, perkier breasts, men want theirs to be flat and masculine looking. So needless to say, when a man’s chest could rival a woman’s in size, this can land a severe blow to his self-esteem.

Luckily, men with bigger chests don’t have to continue living with them. At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we offer gynecomastia surgery to shape the chest into a more masculine appearance. Read on to find out more about this procedure and why it might be right for you!

What Is Gynecomastia, and Why Would You Need Surgery?

In medical terms, gynecomastia is a condition that describes enlarged man breasts. Their excess volume may come in various forms, such as breast tissue or just fat. Gynecomastia can have various causes, including weight gain, hormone imbalances, medication, and many more. The condition can affect every man, no matter the age, and it can also have a great impact on one’s self-esteem.

Gynecomastia surgery may be used to reduce the size of your “man boobs,” as they are popularly called. Depending on the cause of your breast enlargement, Dr. D’Souza will either use liposuction or excision, so a consultation will be necessary to determine what kind of approach should be taken in your situation.

How to Know If You Have Gynecomastia?

Most male adults who suffer from gynecomastia have no symptoms, aside from the visibly enlarged tissue in their breasts. However, in some cases, a gynecomastia patient may show the following symptoms:

• Pain in their breast area, especially among teenagers
• Breast tenderness
• Nipple sensitivity when they rub against clothing
• Nipple discharge in one or both breasts

If you notice any of these symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with us. Dr. D’Souza will conduct a gynecomastia pinch test to determine the type of treatment you should receive. Also, keep in mind that for you to be considered a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery, you should:

• Not use drugs
• Be a non-smoker
• Be overall healthy, with no underlying conditions that can affect your healing
• Have realistic expectations from the surgery
• Have a positive outlook that follows a specific goal
• Have stabilized breast development

Teenagers can be good candidates for gynecomastia surgery since the condition is frequent in this age category. However, since their bodies are still developing, the breast tissue may continue to grow even after surgery. If this happens, they may require a second surgery later on in life after getting past their growth spurt.

Reasons to Undergo Gynecomastia Surgery

The factors below are a guide to help you decide whether you should undergo gynecomastia surgery or not:

1. You Want to Improve Your Self Esteem

Enlarged breasts in men have always been a cause of bullying, or at least making fun of, simply because men are not supposed to have breasts. This can significantly affect your self-esteem, bringing emotional discomfort and causing you to feel “less like a man.” Gynecomastia surgery can help raise your self-esteem, so if you feel like you need that improvement in your life, then you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery.

2. You Want More Freedom

There are certain times when gynecomastia may prevent you from joining activities, simply because you are embarrassed. For example, you may refuse to go to the beach, or you may prefer to work out at home so that your “man boobs” don’t show. If this seems familiar to you, then you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia treatment, as it will offer you more freedom.

3. You Want More Clothing Options

Sometimes, because of gynecomastia, you may not be able to buy the clothes that you want. Even if you do find properly fitting clothing pieces, they may look odd on you. In this case, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery.

Don’t Wait; Schedule Your Consultation!

Gynecomastia is a condition that can be quite embarrassing for a man. As women are the ones who are socially acceptable to have breasts, having them as a man can make you feel emasculated. If you find yourself uncomfortable in your own skin and want to change your chest physique, then give Iconic Plastic Surgery a call to schedule a gynecomastia surgery consultation!

They say that no pain means no gain, but what if you don’t want to feel that much pain? This applies even more when it comes to breast augmentation. Most women choose this procedure because they want to feel better about themselves and the way their physique looks, but the pain involved can easily destroy their bubble of joy.

Luckily, Dr. D’Souza performs a procedure called Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation®. Now, you can boost your self-esteem and improve your image without having to go through as much troublesome post-surgery pain. This blog will go through all the important aspects about this procedure and why it may benefit you.

What Is Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation®?

Also referred to as Fast or Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation®, this procedure allows you to get implants with as little downtime as possible. It uses a different technique when introducing the implants, ensuring that you won’t be in pain for days or weeks after the surgery. In fact, you should be able to be up and about within a few hours after the procedure. 

Most of the pain from breast augmentation surgery is caused by damage to the muscle, or skin, or even by blood loss. As your breasts are healing, the inflammation caused by the blood loss is very often the cause of your pain. According to our specialist, Dr. D’Souza, most of the discomfort from Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® is caused by the bleeding that occurred during the procedure. 

This is why we make sure we cause as little damage to the muscles as possible and take measures to prevent excessive bleeding. If the blood doesn’t ooze and there is little damage, then breast augmentation will not require that long of a recovery period. You still need to go through some care steps, but at least you won’t feel like you can’t get through the recovery.

Benefits of Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation®

Some of the benefits that come with getting Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® are:

• Rapid Recovery Time: You won’t be bedridden, and you can walk around after only a few hours. Just make sure you don’t put any strain on your chest muscles.
• Quick Results: With regular breast augmentation, it may take days or weeks for you to enjoy your results. With this procedure, it will only take a few days to begin seeing the results. 
• Less Pain: Fewer incisions and less trauma lead to less pain. This will make recovery easier to handle. 
• Shorter Procedure Time: Most breast augmentation surgeries can take several hours to perform. Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® is more controlled, so it takes less than one hour.

So, if you have a busy lifestyle and a low pain threshold, this surgery may be the perfect option for you.

How to Take Care of Yourself After Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation®?

Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® has minimal downtime, which is why people often call it 24-hour rapid recovery breast augmentation. Theoretically, on the same day, you can take a walk in the park or go shopping if you want. 

However, unless you want to lengthen your recovery time, you should take the next two to three days off of work. Take a nap for about two hours, watch a TV series or your favorite YouTuber, and just relax. You can do some light exercises such as walking, but don’t lift your arms unnecessarily because you don’t want to alter your incisions accidentally. You can also shower on the night of the surgery, but you may want to wait for about three days before submerging in a comfy bubble bath.

Is Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® for You?

Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation® is a great way for you to get those perfectly shaped breasts without having to go through long recovery times. You should be up and about in a few hours, feeling much more comfortable in your skin. Contact us at Iconic Plastic Surgery, and we can help you get your breasts in their best shape!

We all dream of having amazing, flowing manes like those models you may see on Instagram, but our hair doesn’t always agree with us. This reality becomes even more unnerving when we used to have beautiful, thick hair that seems to have gone on a permanent vacation with age. Unfortunately, hair loss is quite common once you pass your 30s, but even then you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to it.

Thankfully, there is a solution for you—one that doesn’t require a hair transplant. You just need a couple of injections prepared from your own blood. The technique is called PRP restoration, and this blog will teach you everything there is to know about it.

What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) restoration is a non-surgical scalp treatment option designed to combat hair loss. Men and women alike can use it to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth, and it is a common choice for people who don’t want to opt for extreme measures like a hair transplant.

During hair restoration with PRP, Dr. D’Souza will harvest your blood (most of the time from your arm) and place it in a centrifuge. This will separate the different layers of your blood, allowing us to collect the platelet-rich plasma. The plasma is then injected into your scalp, on the areas that need treatment.

There’s a simple reason behind its efficiency—platelet-rich plasma contains various proteins and growth factors that speed up follicle repair. As blood circulation is improved in your scalp, your follicles will repair themselves, allowing new hair to grow.

Why Go for PRP Hair Restoration?

There are several scalp treatments that do not involve needles, so you may be thinking: why go for PRP hair restoration of all treatments? Well, here are just a few benefits of PRP hair restoration:

• It’s Non-Scarring and Minimally Invasive: Compared to other treatments, PRP restoration is minimally invasive and requires little recovery. Once the area is healed, there should be no signs (except your new hair!) that you ever had the procedure done.
• It’s Safe: Many hair treatment options involve serums and chemicals you may be allergic to. However, PRP uses your own blood, which eliminates the risk of allergies, contamination, and even rejection. 
• It’s Highly Effective: According to PRP hair restoration reviews, many people who underwent this kind of treatment have noticed significant hair regrowth. This is further backed up by data on how platelet-rich plasma can trigger hair growth.
• Natural-Looking Results: Sometimes, hair transplants can end up looking unnatural. On the other hand, PRP hair therapy will nourish your actual follicles, leading to a more natural result. In the end, this treatment goes to the root of your problem. 

PRP restoration can help you get back the hair that you lost while experiencing minimal discomfort so that you can regain your confidence.

What to Expect from PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP hair restoration nourishes your hair follicles, so you will not be able to see any results until the next two to four weeks after your first session. During that stage, you will see an improvement in the hair texture and some extra thickness on the hair shaft. 

The actual results can be visible three to six months after the treatment when the new hair begins to grow. By then, your part might appear less wide, and you might see fewer bald spots. Keep in mind that for PRP to work, you need to undergo at least three treatments, which are typically scheduled four to six weeks apart.

The procedure is relatively painless, but you may still notice some sensitivity at the injection sites. For this reason, you shouldn’t put pressure on your scalp—so, stay away from ponytails and hats for a few days and let the plasma do its thing. If you notice any pain, it is likely caused by inflammation, as the scalp is adjusting to the plasma. This is nothing a bit of Ibuprofen can’t fix. 

Is PRP Hair Restoration Right for You?

PRP restoration can be a great way for you to regenerate and thicken your hair. It’s a better alternative to surgical treatments, and you can finally stop wearing hats, scarves, or wigs to hide your bald spots. Book an appointment with Iconic Plastic Surgery for a PRP hair restoration treatment and get your hair back!

Dermal filler injections can be one of the most transformative non-surgical treatment options for men and women of all ages. These treatments can help to minimize (and even eliminate) the presence and appearance of wrinkles on your skin, and they can restore volume in areas of your face where age, lifestyle, or life events have created hollow or gaunt areas in your skin. While dermal fillers are primarily used to treat issues on your face, these treatments can also be used on your neck and in your hands.

However, because there are so many different dermal filler options available, it can be difficult and confusing to know exactly which dermal filler is right for you and your skin concerns. While scheduling a consultation with Dr. D’Souza is the best way to decide which dermal filler(s) is right for you, below is some information about the dermal fillers we offer at Iconic Plastic Surgery so that you can prepare yourself for what to expect.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive, injectable treatments that can help smooth skin and add volume to thin areas in the skin. Many of these injectable fillers are made of a hyaluronic acid (HA) solution. HA is found naturally in the body, and when injected into the skin, the solution works to attract and retain moisture. This causes the skin to fill out, smoothing wrinkles and plumping the skin to help you look more youthful than you have in years.

What Are My Dermal Filler Options?

Though there are numerous dermal filler brands and specific choices, the reality is that different types of fillers help to correct concerns in different areas of the face and body. Below are some of the injectable fillers we offer at Iconic Plastic Surgery and what correction they can offer you.

JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM® is one of the leading names in injectable fillers. It is a full collection of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers that treats volume loss. At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we offer JUVÉDERM® XC and JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC JUVÉDERM® XC addresses fine lines, wrinkles, furrows, and various lines on the face like the marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and vertical lip lines. JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC volumizes lost volume in the cheeks that can often make you look sunken in and older than you truly are.

Each JUVÉDERM® treatment is quick and requires little to no downtime, and the results can last anywhere from six months to two years.

Restylane®

Restylane® is another popular hyaluronic acid dermal filler used in the fight against aging. This injectable filler can treat moderate to severe wrinkles and lines in the face. Some of the Restylane® products can also be used on the back of the hands to increase lost volume. At Iconic Plastic Surgery, Dr. D’Souza offers:

• Restylane® and Restylane-L®
• Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine
• Restylane® Silk
• Restylane® Refyne
• Restylane® Defyne

Each of these Restylane® treatments is quick, lasting only about 30 minutes, and they require little to no downtime. Restylane® results can last four to nine months.

BELOTERO BALANCE®

BELOTERO BALANCE® works to restore a healthy looking facial shape. This injectable treatment is known to increase volume along the cheeks and under the eyes, and it can also be used in areas around the mouth. BELOTERO BALANCE® is considered one of the lightest dermal fillers and offers natural results.

BELOTERO BALANCE® treatments are quick, require minimal downtime, and have results that last six to nine months.

Schedule a Consultation

When you schedule your consultation with Dr. D’Souza, you will be able to discuss your facial desires and goals, and a customized treatment plan will be provided to you. Whether the right dermal filler for your goals is JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or BELOTERO BALANCE®, you will be able to show off your results with pride to the world! Iconic Plastic Surgery is ready to make your aesthetic enhancement dreams come true, and you’ll be in great hands!

Wrinkles can severely detract from your facial appearance. And what makes wrinkles even more frustrating is that they can show up at any age. That is because dynamic wrinkles are some of the most common types of skin imperfections on the face. Dynamic wrinkles are creases in the skin caused from continuous muscle contractions. These wrinkles can appear on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes and are caused from facial expressions and squinting. While you can be frustrated about dynamic wrinkles, the good news is that BOTOX® Cosmetic can help get rid of those wrinkles to give you the smooth skin you desire. But your facial improvements don’t need to be limited to those pesky dynamic wrinkles. Below, we will explore several different ways that you can enhance your overall aesthetic along with your BOTOX® Cosmetic injections.

What Are BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that is composed of botulinum toxin-A. Essentially, the BOTOX® Cosmetic solution immobilizes nerves in the injected muscle to eliminate any muscle contractions. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that can be used in numerous areas of the face. Not only can you achieve smooth and youthful skin after your treatment, BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the safest and most trusted injectable treatments available.

How to Add to Your Overall Aesthetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic injectable treatments can offer awesome results as a standalone treatment; however, by considering some of these other options, you can only enhance your results and improve your overall appearance

Combine BOTOX® Cosmetic With Other Treatments

While some people choose to undergo BOTOX® Cosmetic as a standalone treatment, it is a service that can be combined with other aesthetic enhancement treatments to help you achieve a more complete and balanced appearance to your face. One of the most effective combination treatments with BOTOX® Cosmetic is dermal filler injections. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers are injectable treatments, and while they also can smooth the skin, injectable fillers (like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®) can help to restore age-related volume loss. Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which work by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin. This can allow you to achieve the attractive facial appearance that you desire.

Diet and Exercise for a Healthy Overall Aesthetic

By now, we all know about the importance and benefits of eating healthy, keeping yourself hydrated with drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. And while it may seem like diet and exercise don’t have an effect on your facial skin, the reality is that keeping your body healthy will result in healthy skin. Additionally, smooth facial skin will help you look even better if you are in good general health.

Maintenance Treatments for Long-Lasting Results

While your BOTOX® Cosmetic results can be stunning and transformative to your overall appearance, the reality is that these results only last for three to four months. After this time, the botulinum toxin-A begins to naturally wear off, and you will see dynamic wrinkles beginning to appear again. However, by undergoing maintenance injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic, you can make sure that your facial skin is wrinkle-free for as long as you want.

Some of the most common cosmetic frustrations that many men and women deal with are excess skin, flab, and fat in the midsection and lower body. These aesthetic concerns can be the result of age, lifestyle, or life event (pregnancy or weight loss). And while these issues can make you feel self-conscious and even embarrassed about your appearance, the truth is there are many plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments available to help give you the physique you desire

Two of the most effective and trusted cosmetic surgical procedures for addressing aesthetic concerns in the midsection and lower body are tummy tuck surgery and thigh lift surgery. And though these procedures can be performed as standalone surgeries, it can be smarter and more efficient to combine these two surgeries into one transformative procedure. Below, we will explore each of these surgical procedures as well as why you may want to consider combining them.

What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that targets specific issues in the abdomen. Many women experience sagging skin and excess fat after pregnancy, though men and women of all ages can find themselves with a belly, gut, or pooch that they would rather not have. A tummy tuck requires an incision made just above the pubic area, stretching from hip to hip. Liposuction may be used to remove any pockets of stubborn fat in the area. Next, Dr. D’Souza will tighten the abdominal muscles with the use of internal sutures. Lastly, excess skin will be surgical excised before the incisions are closed. After your tummy tuck, you can look forward to a more contoured midsection that can help you feel comfortable and confident with your appearance.

What Is a Thigh Lift?

In addition to sagging skin and excess fat in the midsection, many men and women experience these conditions in their inner and outer thighs. Not only can these aesthetic concerns cause you to look heavier than you desire, but it can also keep you from wearing clothing that you want as well as participating in many of the activities that you love.

A thigh lift is a procedure that removes fat and skin from the upper portion of the leg. For this surgery, an incision will be made within the natural crease of the groin. Liposuction may be used for some patients, though this depends on the extent of fat in the area. Once the incision is made, Dr. D’Souza will remove and/or reposition subcutaneous tissues to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the leg, and he will remove any unsightly skin from the thighs. Both the inner thigh and outer thigh can be targeted, depending on the specific concerns that you have. Thigh lift results can improve your entire appearance, and, more importantly, it can help you regain control of your life.

What Are the Benefits of Combining the Two Surgeries?

Since the abdomen and thighs are so close in proximity on the body, only correcting one can often cause cosmetic concerns in the other to stand out. Because of this, combining both procedures together can offer a much more complete and dramatic transformation to your middle and lower body. You can look forward to a more contoured and toned appearance that can help you feel proud of your appearance, especially when you are in social situations. However, there are also practical benefits to combining these two surgical procedures. Because you are undergoing the surgical procedures at the same time, you will only be paying once for many of the surgical fees (anesthesia, surgeons, facility, etc.), which means that you will be saving money in the end. Additionally, since you will be recovering from both procedures at the same time, you will only need to have one recovery period.

The truth is that not every patient needs to have a combination of tummy tuck and thigh lift surgeries; however, many men and women can benefit from both of these procedures. If you think you may be a candidate for a combination surgery, then schedule a consultation today, and Dr. D’Souza will be happy to discuss the procedures and benefits of each as they relate to you.

Trim and toned arms are the envy of many women and men. When you have toned arms, you can wear clothing (like sleeveless shirts and dresses) that you never felt comfortable wearing before. But, something may be holding you back from those sculpted arms. Sagging skin that hangs underneath your arms (also referred to as “bat wings”) can be unsightly and embarrassing, and it can cause many people to miss out on enjoying life to the fullest.

At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we offer arm lift surgery to remove sagging, unwanted skin from the undersides of the arms, which can increase your confidence and allow you to wear the outfits you’ve been eyeing all year! But what can you expect after undergoing arm lift surgery? Let’s explore the ins and outs of this cosmetic procedure to help prepare you for your surgery!

How Is an Arm Lift Performed?

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is performed under anesthesia to ensure optimal comfort during the entire surgery and typically takes one to two hours to complete. For this procedure, Dr. D’Souza will make an incision on the underside of the arms, extending down toward the elbow. This incision may be located in either the inside or back of the arms. The length of the incision will depend on the extent of the surgery. Liposuction may be used to remove any stubborn fat in the arms. Additionally, underlying tissue will be removed and/or repositioned to give you a more toned appearance. Lastly, excess skin will be surgically excised before the incisions are closed.

What Is Arm Lift Recovery Like?

For the first week of recovery, you will have small drains placed in each arm. These drains help to rid the body of any blood, pus, or other fluids that may accumulate during and immediately after the surgery. Most patients recover fully after about three to six months; however, patients are usually able to return to their normal activities after two to four weeks.

While it is crucial to rest and allow your body to heal, walking and other light movement is recommended to keep blood circulating and assist with recovery. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet during your recovery period can help your body recover more quickly. A post-op appointment with Dr. D’Souza will give you more specific information regarding your recovery plan.

What Results Can I Look Forward to After My Arm Lift?

After your arm lift surgery, you can look forward to tighter, smoother, and firmer upper arms. Although this surgery is long lasting, the natural aging process is still in effect. Arm toning exercises and a proper diet will help to prolong your results and keep your arms looking fantastic for years to come.

For many women, talking about their private areas is an uncomfortable topic. However, the truth is that your vagina is an essential and important part of your body. And while this area is not visible to the public, the reality is that women can feel self-conscious and even embarrassed if there is an issue with the structure and/or appearance of their labias.

Whether from a life event (childbirth) or simply genetics and age, many women suffer from excess skin and tissue in their labia minora or labia majora. Luckily, labiaplasty is a plastic surgery procedure in which the excess skin is surgically reduced to help you both physically and psychologically.

What Can Labiaplasty Achieve?

Women choose to undergo labiaplasty for many different reasons. While some women undergo this procedure simply because they feel self-conscious or embarrassed about the appearance of their labia, other women have labiaplasty because the excess skin and tissue causes them discomfort or even pain.

By removing the excess skin and tissue, you can look forward to a more aesthetically pleasing and natural appearance to your labia (which can help you feel more comfortable and confident in yourself, especially during those intimate moments with your partner). You can also look forward to reducing any discomfort or irritation you may experience.

After your procedure, you can smile with the knowledge that you look and feel your very best (whether others can see the difference or not)!

How Is Labiaplasty Performed?

For your labiaplasty procedure, local anesthesia will be used to limit any discomfort you experience during the surgery. Once the anesthesia has been administered, Dr. D’Souza will remove the excess skin from your labia. In addition to removing the excess skin, Dr. D’Souza often uses liposuction to remove any excess fat and/or tissue in the Mons Pubis (the area above your vagina). Removing fat and tissue from the Mons Pubis can help you achieve a smoother, more natural appearance to your entire vaginal area.

Why Should You Trust Iconic Plastic Surgery With Your Labiaplasty?

Dr. Geehan D‘Souza is one of the most well-respected and trusted plastic surgeons available. Not only is he a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aeshetic procedures to help you look and feel your absolute best, but Dr. D’Souza is dedicated to the safety, health, and success of his patients.

When you choose Dr. D’Souza for your labiaplasty, you are choosing a professional who has the knowledge, experience, and care to help you achieve the optimal results you’re looking for.

For many women, the area of their body that they feel most self-conscious about is their derrière. That is because women take pride in their backside. However, when your butt lacks definition, you aren’t able to look the way you want in certain clothes. And while you can try working out at the gym, there’s no guarantee that your results will be what you’re looking for. Instead of trying to achieve your dream booty by natural means, why not undergo a plastic surgery procedure so that you know exactly what your results will be.

At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer the Iconic Butt Lift. This comprehensive procedure can help you achieve the backside you want so that you feel more comfortable and confident with your appearance while you turn heads for the right reasons!

What Is the Iconic Butt Lift?

Also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, the Iconic Butt Lift is a fat-transfer procedure in which fat is taken from one area of your body and then injected into your buttocks to give you a fuller and more voluptuous appearance.

Whether you struggle with a flat butt, imbalanced or asymmetrical buttocks, or you just want to augment the size and shape of your backside, the Iconic Butt Lift is the procedure for you!

What Can I Expect for My Iconic Butt Lift Procedure?

The Iconic Butt Lift is a two-step procedure.

For the first step, fat is harvested from an area of your body where you have excess fat (usually from the abdomen, hips, thigh, or lower back). This is achieved with liposuction. Once the fat has been extracted, it is purified so that the refined fat is separated for use with the rest of the procedure.

For the second step, the refined fat is strategically injected into various areas of your buttocks. Because the transferred fat is your own, there’s no risk of your body rejecting the fat. Instead, you will be able to achieve the fuller figure you want.

What Are the Benefits of Having an Iconic Butt Lift?

Besides the physical benefits of having a fuller, more shapely backside, the Iconic Butt Lift can help you feel more comfortable and confident with your appearance. Whether at the beach, pool, or out on the town, you will be able to wear the clothing you’ve always wanted to wear but could never pull off before.

Another benefit from the Iconic Butt Lift is that you will be left with a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the area of your body where the fat was harvested from.

With a fuller backside, you can look in the mirror and smile knowing that you have the figure you’ve always desired.

Becoming a mother is one of the most amazing things that can happen to a woman. Whether you’ve been trying for years, it happened quickly, or you became a mother through adoption, it is always something to be thankful for and proud of. Aging, pregnancy, and motherhood, in general, can really begin to wreak havoc on a woman’s body. Throw kids in the mix and sometimes self-care isn’t as easily attainable as it once was. Thus begins the journey of your body not really looking like it had in the past. That’s ok! At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer Mommy Makeover surgeries to return your body back to its pre-pregnancy state!

Mommy Makeover is customizable to you, so whether you want to undergo breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck or a breast lift and labiaplasty, Dr. D’Souza can do it all and help you regain your shape and confidence! There are a few things to know before undergoing Mommy Makeover surgery to help clear (and ease) your mind!

Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Ideal candidates for Mommy Makeover surgery are women who are at or near their goal weight, are done having children, and have realistic expectations about their results. Many patients are unhappy with how they look after pregnancy, and they just want a change. A personal consultation with Dr. D’Souza will help answer any questions you have as well as determine if you are a candidate for a Mommy Makeover.

What Surgeries Are Included?

At Iconic Plastic Surgery, Dr. D’Souza offers a few different surgeries that make up the whole Mommy Makeover procedure. These can be customized to your specific goals and desires to ensure that you receive the best results possible and the outcome you wish to achieve. A Mommy Makeover may consist of:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Liposuction
• Tummy Tuck
• Labiaplasty

When Should I Have My Mommy Makeover Surgery?

This is sort of a two-part question. The first part is, are you finished having children? This is a big question that needs to be answered before undergoing surgery. Most women who have Mommy Makeover surgery are done having children and are 100 percent ready to get their bodies back. You may still have children after your Mommy Makeover surgery, but the amazing results that you worked hard for may be altered.

The second part of this question is, when does it work best for you? Mommy Makeover is a surgery that can be performed at any time. It would just be best if it worked in your favor schedule-wise. If you know you’re going to have a very busy spring and summer with baseball games, dance classes, and summer vacations, then the fall or winter may be best for your surgery. You can even cover up with big sweatshirts, coats, and scarves if necessary to hide your body until you’re ready to show it off. Or maybe you have a lot of holiday parties and you want to be your best self, then waiting until the spring or summer could potentially work better for your schedule.

The bottom line is that any time is the right time for your Mommy Makeover surgery. Just pick the date and let the magic happen! You’ll be ready to show off your newly sculpted silhouette in no time!
