Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking fuller contours after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Dr. Bottger customizes implant type, size, and placement to align with your anatomy and goals. Patients report improved confidence and clothing fit, with results lasting over a decade. The procedure takes 1-1.5 hours under general anesthesia, with recovery typically lasting 1-2 weeks.
Breast Lift
A breast lift addresses sagging by reshaping and elevating breast tissue. Suitable for women with ptosis from aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. Dr. Bottger repositions the nipple and removes excess skin for a youthful contour. Results last 10+ years, though pregnancy or weight fluctuations may affect longevity. The 2-3 hour procedure requires 2-3 weeks of recovery, with scars fading over time.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Popular post-pregnancy or weight loss, it addresses loose skin and diastasis recti. Dr. Bottger combines liposuction for optimal contouring. Recovery spans 2-3 weeks, with full results visible after 6 months. Patients enjoy improved core strength and a slimmer silhouette, often as part of a Mommy Makeover.
Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover combines procedures like breast augmentation, lift, and tummy tuck to restore pre-pregnancy figures. Tailored to individual needs, it addresses multiple areas in one surgery. Recovery lasts 4-6 weeks, with long-term results maintained through healthy habits. Patients report renewed confidence and a more balanced physique, making it a popular choice for postpartum rejuvenation.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces signs of aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targets jowls, sagging cheeks, and neck laxity for a youthful appearance. Dr. Bottger uses advanced techniques to avoid an over-pulled look, focusing on natural results. The 3-4 hour procedure requires 2-3 weeks of recovery, with effects lasting 7-10 years. Patients often combine it with eyelid or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation.
