Dr. Cabbabe publishes First – Ever Series on Drainless Lower Body Lifts with BBL: the New Standard
✨ 360° Transformation ✨
The best body contouring results aren’t about any one procedure—they’re about creating balance and harmony throughout the entire body.
This patient underwent my signature drainless Lower Body Lift with High-Definition 360 Liposuction and BBL to reshape the waistline, improve overall contour, and restore proportion from every angle. 🍑
Her breasts were restored with implants and reinforced with a mesh internal bra for improved support and long-term shape. 👙
I particularly love how natural the abdomen and belly button look while maintaining a smooth transition from the waist to the hips and buttocks. The goal is always a result that looks athletic, balanced, and natural—not operated on.
This is what a true 360° approach to body contouring can achieve. 🔥

⚠️ One of the most common reasons I see patients seeking breast reduction revision surgery is simple: they weren’t reduced enough the first time.
My philosophy has always been that breast reduction surgery should be about more than just lifting the breasts. The goal is to create a breast size that is proportional to your body, relieves symptoms, fits your lifestyle, and provides a result you’ll be happy with for years to come.
Many patients are understandably nervous about being “too small,” but in my experience, patients are far more likely to regret not going small enough than going slightly smaller than they initially imagined.
The key is having a detailed discussion before surgery so we can align expectations and create a result that truly meets your goals. 🎯
The best breast reduction revision is the one you never need. 👏

One month after subfascial breast augmentation. ✨
Natural shape, improved upper pole fullness, and beautiful cleavage—all without placing the implant under the muscle.
Subfascial placement can provide a faster recovery, less animation deformity, and a very natural look in the right patient.
Just 1 month postop and she’ll continue to soften and settle over the coming months.

🔥 Fleur-de-Lis Lower Body Lift + BBL for Buttock, Hip & Thigh Reshaping After Massive Weight Loss 🔥
After massive weight loss, many patients are left with much more than just abdominal skin excess. The REAL lower body problems are often the hips, buttocks, outer thighs, and loss of overall shape 🍑✨
Unfortunately, these areas are commonly overlooked. Many patients are only offered tummy tucks when what they really need is more comprehensive lower body contouring.
For this patient, we performed a Fleur-de-Lis LOWER BODY LIFT combined with BBL shaping to address excess skin, improve waist contour, reshape the hips and buttocks, and improve upper thigh contour ⭐️🔥
We’ve developed specialized techniques to maximize hip shape, buttock contour, and 360° balance in these procedures — areas that are often difficult to treat and not always well understood. 💪
When done properly, these procedures can dramatically improve proportions, clothing fit, and overall body shape 👏

✨ 425cc Subfascial Breast Augmentation ✨
One of my favorite techniques in modern breast augmentation ⭐️
Subfascial implant placement allows us to place the implant above the muscle while still maintaining soft tissue coverage — helping create beautiful cleavage, natural shape, less animation deformity, and often a quicker recovery 🔥✨
This patient underwent subfascial augmentation with 425cc implants for a fuller, balanced result 💪

🔥 Plus Size Body Contouring Transformation 🔥
This patient carried the majority of her weight centrally and viscerally, which can make achieving balance and proportion much more challenging ⭐️
For her transformation, we performed a drainless EXTENDED tummy tuck with 360 liposuction and a large volume BBL — placing approximately 2-3 liters of fat into the buttocks to help rebalance her frame, improve proportions, and create more lower body shape 🍑🔥
Even early after surgery, she has already lost several inches and multiple dress sizes… and she will continue shrinking and refining over the next several months as swelling improves ✨💪
This is why plus size body contouring is about much more than just removing skin. It’s about reshaping the ENTIRE body for better balance, contour, and proportion 👏
Completely drainless 🔥

🔥 PART 2: Revision & Conversion to High Definition Body Contouring 🔥
After a previous tummy tuck done elsewhere, this patient still felt her abdomen wasn’t flat enough and the scar position limited her overall contour.
For her revision, we lowered and completely revised the tummy tuck scar, performed additional abdominal tightening, and added mesh reinforcement for stronger long-term support ⭐️💪
Combined with her LOWER BODY LIFT and 360 High Definition Liposuction, this helped create a flatter abdomen, improved waist shape, and more balanced overall contour 🔥✨
Many revision patients don’t necessarily need “more tummy tuck”… they need better shaping, better scar placement, and a more complete approach to body contouring 👏

Breast implants are NOT one-size-fits-all 👙✨
We discussed implant surface technology, capsular contracture, BIA-ALCL, and the pros and cons of above versus below the muscle placement. Every option has trade-offs depending on anatomy, skin quality, goals, and prior surgery 💡
Breast augmentation and especially revision surgery can carry high revision rates in patients with poor skin quality, which is why experience and expertise matter 🔥

🔥 PART 1: The Problem Was the Tummy Tuck… It Didn’t Go Far Enough 🔥
This patient previously had a tummy tuck elsewhere, but like many revision patients we see, the procedure simply wasn’t extended enough to create great waist shape or fully address the lower back and hips.
Even an extended tummy tuck alone likely would have created a much better result ⭐️
Instead, for her revision we performed a LOWER BODY LIFT with 360 High Definition Liposuction to maximize the waistline, lower back contour, and buttock shape 🍑🔥
Crazy enough… we removed MORE tissue from her BACK than was originally removed during her original tummy tuck 😳💪
This is why we commonly have to redo the entire tummy tuck scar during revision surgery. Treating only the front often leaves patients wanting more contour and shape.
For many patients, going beyond a standard tummy tuck creates the best overall result ✨
Part 2 = the FRONT transformation 👀

170 lbs down… now it’s time to finish the transformation 🔥
She traveled to St. Louis after losing 170 pounds for a planned 2-stage, full body makeover. Stage 1 was a lower body lift combined with a FDL tummy tuck—because in cases like this, a standard tummy tuck simply isn’t enough.
She had 4-6 inches of horizontal upper abdominal skin that would have been left behind without an FDL… and that’s exactly why we see so many revisions from elsewhere when appropriate procedures are not recommended. If you don’t address that component the first time, you’re redoing the entire tummy tuck.
This isn’t just about removing skin—it’s about reshaping the entire torso. Lifting the hips, improving buttock contour, tightening the abdomen vertically AND horizontally, and creating a balanced, feminine result ✨🍑
All performed with my drainless, comprehensive approach, allowing for safer recovery and the ability to combine procedures so most patients can complete their transformation in just 2 stages ⭐️
Most surgeons would need 3–4 operations to get here… this is a different approach.

Breast reduction isn’t just about going smaller—it’s about doing it right.
Both of these patients had outpatient surgery and smooth recoveries.
The difference comes down to technique, planning, and attention to detail.
One of the most common issues I see in revisions?
Dog ears. They shouldn’t be accepted as “normal.”
With proper design and execution, they can almost always be avoided.
Clean contours. Better scars. Better outcomes.
That’s the standard.

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.
