Swipe to see the transformation—from before to 1 year after surgery.
Every breast augmentation should be customized. This patient underwent a bespoke breast augmentation designed specifically for her anatomy and goals—not simply choosing an implant size.
In addition to creating beautiful upper pole fullness and natural cleavage, this procedure corrected breast fold asymmetry, helping create a more balanced, harmonious result.
Approximately 300 cc highly cohesive silicone implants were placed in the subfascial (above-the-muscle) plane. For the right candidate, this offers several advantages:
• No animation deformity
• Less postoperative discomfort
• A more natural breast shape and movement
• Preservation of the pectoralis muscle
Great breast augmentation is about far more than implant size. Implant selection, pocket position, breast footprint, fold symmetry, cleavage, and proportional balance all work together to create a result that looks natural and fits the individual patient.

This patient wanted a true full-body transformation—not just one procedure.
Her surgical plan included:
✨ Tummy tuck with lower body lift
✨ My Triple Buttock Lift™ (upper buttock lift + lower buttock lift + Brazilian Butt Lift)
✨ Breast augmentation with mesh support for additional implant reinforcement
Today you’re seeing the planning and surgical markings that go into creating a balanced result from every angle. Every line is intentional and customized to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
Body contouring isn’t about focusing on one area—it’s about creating harmony from the breasts to the waist to the buttocks.

EXTREME MAKEOVER — 1 MONTH LATER 🔥
You saw her immediate transformation — now look at her just one month later.
This was a major body transformation with a fleur-de-lis lower body lift and extensive contouring. Look at the change from BOTH the front and the back — a dramatically improved waistline, better buttock volume and shape, and a much more balanced overall contour.
And she’s still early.
At only one month, swelling is still present and the tissues are continuing to settle. Over the next several months, she should continue to shrink, tighten and define as her final contour develops.
Major transformations take time. The immediate change can be dramatic, but the result continues to evolve for months.

➡️ SWIPE to see the before, the transformation, a close-up of the details, and her thoughts on the result.
A tummy tuck is so much more than skin removal.
The best results come from attention to every detail:
• A low, well-concealed scar that extends only as much as necessary.
• High-definition contouring that creates natural definition—not just a flatter abdomen.
• A natural-looking belly button that blends seamlessly with the overall result.
When these elements come together, a tummy tuck becomes a body contouring operation, not simply a skin removal procedure.
The difference is in the details.

A tummy tuck removes excess skin—but it doesn’t automatically create an hourglass shape.
This patient came to me just 6 months after surgery elsewhere because she was disappointed with her contour. She was left with:
• A distorted belly button
• An irregular scar
• Persistent lower abdominal bulging
• Residual “muffin top” fullness
Her goal wasn’t just a flatter abdomen—it was a more defined, sculpted silhouette.
To achieve that, we performed a completion lower body lift with:
✅ Hi-Def 360 liposuction for circumferential contouring
✅ Revision of the tummy tuck scar
✅ Umbilical revision
✅ Additional mesh reinforcement to improve the lower abdominal bulge that was bothering her
The biggest difference wasn’t simply removing more skin—it was strategic contouring. A well-executed body contouring procedure considers the entire torso, not just the front of the abdomen.
Every patient is different, and revision surgery requires careful planning, but it’s often possible to dramatically improve shape and proportions after a previous operation.

This patient had previously undergone liposuction elsewhere but was left with persistent fullness and contour irregularities of the lower abdomen. She still wasn’t achieving the shape she had hoped for.
To address those concerns, we performed a mini tummy tuck with high-definition liposculpting to improve abdominal definition and smooth the lower abdominal irregularities. We also performed a small breast augmentation to restore proportion and fat transfer to the hip dips to create a more balanced, athletic silhouette.
Sometimes it’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right combination of procedures to achieve harmony and proportion.
Every patient is different, and revision surgery often requires a customized approach to correct prior contour issues while enhancing the overall result.

PLUS SIZE. FULL 360° TRANSFORMATION. 🔥
Body contouring is not one-size-fits-all.
For this plus-size patient, achieving the best overall shape required addressing the entire 360° silhouette.
We combined a fleur-de-lis lower body lift with 360° liposuction and BBL 🍑 to remove excess skin, reshape the waist and abdomen, and improve buttock volume and contour. A breast reduction and lift helped bring the upper body into proportion with her new shape.
With larger transformations, my goal isn’t simply to remove skin or fat. It’s to create shape, proportion and balance from every angle while selecting procedures appropriate for each patient’s anatomy.
And remember—these results continue to evolve. Swelling decreases, tissues settle, and definition typically continues to improve over the following months.

🔥 5 YEARS LATER… SHE LOOKS EVEN BETTER.
Five years ago, this was her starting point.
Her mommy makeover included:
✨ Tummy tuck
✨ Breast reduction & lift
The “after” you’re seeing isn’t an immediate postoperative result—it’s five years later.
She continued putting in the work, embraced a healthier lifestyle, and lost even more weight after surgery. That’s what happens when surgery is combined with long-term commitment.
A mommy makeover isn’t just about changing your body—it’s about creating a foundation for lasting confidence and healthier living.
The greatest compliment isn’t seeing a patient a few months after surgery. It’s seeing her years later, looking incredible, feeling confident, and still loving her results.

Plastic surgery isn’t about how many procedures you have—it’s about whether it’s safe to combine them. 💡
The decision depends on several factors:
✅ Your overall health
✅ The expected blood loss
✅ The length and complexity of the operation
✅ Where the surgery is being performed
✅ And most importantly, your surgeon’s experience managing combination procedures.
For the right patient, combining procedures can often mean one anesthesia, one recovery, and one result. But every surgical plan should be individualized—there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Safety always comes first. The goal isn’t to do more surgery—it’s to do the right surgery, in the right patient, at the right time. ⭐

lower body lift
For those who have had weight loss or desire complete torso/hip/buttock re-contouring/re-shaping, including the abdomen, flanks, hips, back and buttocks, there is no more powerful procedure than a lower body lift in St. Louis. This is an extremely challenging procedure and most plastic surgeons have never even performed one, including surgeons who perform tummy tuck surgery regularly.
mommy makeover
If you want your pre-pregnancy body back, a mommy makeover in St. Louis might be the best option for you. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that target areas including the tummy, breast and buttocks. Since this is a major surgery, it is critical to pick a highly qualified surgeon. Dr. Samer Cabbabe is regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in St. Louis and the U.S. and performs mommy makeover surgeries regularly.
breast augmentation / lifts
A breast augmentation is a procedure in which either a silicone or saline implant, or a patient’s own fat, is used to augment the breast. This procedure usually takes anywhere from 1 ½-2 hours to perform and is generally done under general anesthesia. Dr. Cabbabe utilizes “Rapid Recovery” or “Flash recovery” techniques to minimize pain and down time after surgery.
skin removal after weight loss
After significant weight loss, men or women may be left with extra, loose skin and fat in the lower abdomen below their belly button. This is referred to as an apron or “pannus”. In severe cases, this tissue can reach the ground and limit mobility. A panniculectomy is a procedure to remove this excess tissue.
revision surgery
Not all cosmetic surgeons are board – certified plastic surgeons and even then, not all board -certified plastic surgeons have the same level of technical ability, experience and expertise. The need for greater skin removal, increased use of liposuction and long operating room times lead to significant disparities in patient outcomes, often adverse in inexperienced hands.
