🔥 Revision Transformation 🔥
Many of our revision tummy tuck patients come to us needing a conversion to a Fleur-de-Lis to address excess vertical skin left behind after a standard tummy tuck — especially common in patients with massive weight loss or inadequate tightening from prior surgery.
We combined this with high-definition liposuction, upper body lift / bra-line lift, and breast fold reconstruction to restore true 360° contour and symmetry 👙💪
✨ Only a few consultation spots remain for 2025 — book yours before they’re gone! 👉@drsamercabbabe

🔥💥 Tummy Tuck + BBL — YES you can safely do them together!
In most states it’s absolutely fine ✅ But in Florida 🏝️, safety laws limit liposuction to only 1 liter (≈1000 cc) when combined with another procedure — and that’s nowhere near enough for most patients to get the full contouring result they want. 🚫
When done correctly — with proper technique, patient selection, and positioning (yes, special pillows to protect your fat grafts 🍑 and your tummy tuck 👙) — it’s actually better to combine! 💪✨
Don’t fall for the myths spread by those who just don’t do them.

Revision Medial Thigh Lift 🔥👙💫
This patient came to us after a poorly planned and executed thigh lift — the scars were placed incorrectly, the skin removal was inadequate, and there was no contouring done at all.
We revised everything — performing full contouring of the hips, thighs, and knees, added 1 L of fat to the buttocks 🍑💉 for a complete reshaping. This adds significant complexity but creates a smoother, more natural and proportional result.
Remember — not all surgeons perform the same operation. Body contouring is not just skin removal; it’s strategic sculpting to restore curves, balance, and confidence.

👙Mommy Makeover Transformation
🔥Check out this incredible result just 1 month post-op — a full Mommy Makeover including:
✨ Breast lift with subfascial implant and mesh internal bra
✨ Signature drainless tummy tuck
✨ 360° high-definition lipocontouring
✨ BBL with complete hip and buttock reshaping 🍑
The contouring is what makes the difference — not just removing skin but defining curves and proportions for a sculpted, natural look. Notice her high-definition detail through the waist and the natural belly button — can’t wait to see her at the 3-month mark. 💪

A lower body lift isn’t just about removing skin — it’s about reshaping the entire trunk, lifting the thighs and buttocks, and restoring proportion from every angle. 💪🔥
This patient’s BMI was close to 30, but because she carried it centrally, it behaved more like a BMI in the low-to-mid 30s. Through 360 liposuction and large-volume fat transfer (BBL), we redefined her waist, hips, and lower body with smooth, natural transitions.

🎥 Mommy Makeover Revision
Our patient came to us for a revision after disappointing results from a prior “mommy makeover” — liposuction, a breast lift, and what she was told was a reverse tummy tuck.
She was told she’d be more perky after her breast lift, but that expectation was never properly explained or managed.
The so-called reverse tummy tuck was performed incorrectly — it wasn’t a true reverse tummy tuck — leaving her with loose skin, downward pulling over her breast folds, and thick, irregular scars.
We performed a complete transformation 🔥
💫 Breast augmentation with mesh internal bra
💫 Rebuilt and stabilized her breast folds
💫 Refined scars and removed dog ears
💫 Converted her to a High-Definition Tummy Tuck
These revision cases are complex — the tissue is fibrotic, the skin doesn’t stretch easily, and every move must be deliberate — but the precision pays off 💪👙✨
Almost every 2025 surgery spot is already full… don’t wait to schedule your consultation!

✨ Upper-body transformation in progress 💪
This patient previously had a tummy tuck and came back after additional weight loss for a reverse tummy tuck, arm + outer chest lift, breast fold reconstruction, and fat transfer to the breasts — all combined with high-definition liposuction for full upper-body reshaping 👙🔥
A lot of surgeons talk about “reverse tummy tucks”, but most of what’s being done are mini or limited versions that don’t address the entire upper abdomen or chest. When performed correctly — a true reverse tummy tuck — it restores the full contour and definition of the upper torso, chest, and waistline for the maximum aesthetic benefit ✨
Limited 2025 consultation and surgery spots remain — book now for your custom transformation.

No surgery is worth a child’s life. Teens are still growing—these procedures carry serious risks and require strict consent and safety standards.
⚠️ Parents and teens: ask questions, know the risks, and never feel pressured by social media beauty trends. Your health and future matter more than any cosmetic change.

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.
