Expert Insight
Mommy Makeovers
Combining the right surgeries, unique to the patient's needs, is the key to a successful makeover. With so many different changes that happen over the course of pregnancy and childbearing, patients may have several concerns to address at once. In addition to a breast lift to correct sagging from breast feeding or breast augmentation to restore lost volume, Dr. Soto offers abdominoplasty. "If you have an excess amount of skin, you will probably be best suited for a traditional tummy tuck. If fat is the main concern, I perform a modified liposuction abdominoplasty, which concentrates on removing excess flab. If the muscle is also loose, I will do a hybrid abdominoplasty and tighten the muscle," Dr. Soto says. Furthermore, changes in weight can leave new moms with disproportionate fat distribution. Removing stubborn excess fat in the love handles, hips, buttocks and thighs via liposuction is also an option.
Ahead of the Curve
Dr. Soto is very excited about the variations of abdominoplasty he offers his patients. Everything being equal, Dr. Soto asserts that the primary considerations are the looseness in the muscle area and the amount of excess skin. “If you have an excess amount of skin, you will probably be best suited for a traditional tummy tuck. If fat is the main concern, I perform a modified liposuction abdominoplasty, which concentrates on removing excess flab. If the muscle is also loose, I will do a hybrid abdominoplasty and tighten the muscle,” he said. For patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, Dr. Soto offers yet another variation. “After the excess skin is removed, the skin is also tightened on the thighs through the same incision. You see significant improvement in the waistline and anterior thigh area. And recovery is not much longer than that of a traditional abdominoplasty procedure.”

What's most important to you when treating patients?
Maintaining the integrity of the process, as well as the information my patient uses to make decisions that will affect her safety and satisfaction with the outcome of her aesthetic procedure.
What new advances have you incorporated into your practice?
I’m excited to offer effective, less invasive treatments such as CoolSculpting®, a procedure that targets and freezes fat cells so the body can break them down over time. The result is a significant reduction of fat in the affected area with no downtime. I also offer NeoGraft® hair restoration, a hair transplant method that doesn’t require scalpel incisions or stitches, reducing the healing time drastically.

BUTT ENHANCEMENT
How can I enhance the size and shape of my buttocks?
As we age, the buttocks tend to droop over time. We cannot only lift the buttocks, but we can also enhance their firm- ness and overall projection with my buttocks augmentation procedures that use either fat grafting or buttock implants to create a rounder, fuller shape. These procedures really take body contouring to the next level.
MOMMY MAKEOVER
Can you perform liposuction during my Mommy Makeover?
Yes. Changes in weight after pregnancy can leave new moms with disproportionate fat distribution. Removing stubborn excess fat in the love handles, hips, buttocks and thighs via liposuction is an option to consider when choosing to undergo a Mommy Makeover. The exact procedures performed will depend on the patient’s goals, but liposuction can have a dramatically positive effect.
