Plastic Surgery in Austin – Affordable and Highly Rated
Austin may be known as the Live Music Capital of the World, but it’s also becoming a great place to get affordable plastic surgery. At Mia Aesthetics, we believe that those who want plastic surgery should be able to get it without sacrificing the quality of the care they receive. To us, medical tourism is about enjoying attractions close to home in the United States where you know you can receive safe, state-of-the-art care.
And when it comes to attractions worth visiting, Austin does not disappoint. As you prepare for your surgery, we encourage sports fans to visit the home of the Austin Spurs basketball team in Cedar Park or enjoy America’s favorite pastime at the minor league baseball stadium in Round Rock, where the aptly named Round Rock Express play. Need to get up and moving after your surgery? A stroll through the wildflower park in nearby Pflugerville may be just what the doctor ordered.
How We Stretch Your Dollars Safely
Wondering just how we make top-notch plastic surgery care so affordable in Austin? We’ve simply made our Austin clinic more efficient. Our highly skilled team of support staff will help you with your free surgical consultation, financial assistance tasks, and other preliminary pre-surgical needs, including assisting with your travel arrangements. You will, of course, have a final consultation with your surgeon before your procedure and get answers to all of your important questions. But by allowing our doctors to focus on surgery rather than other tasks, we are able to offer our services at a more competitive price point than smaller facilities where doctors often find themselves stretched thin.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Surgery in Austin
If you’re looking for an affordable tummy tuck in Austin, you’re in luck. Not only can our local clinic perform the procedure, but we can also help you choose the best surgical option for you. Some patients require a full tummy tuck, or an abdominoplasty. During this treatment, your surgeon will remove any excess fat and sagging skin from your abdomen. If necessary, he will then repair the muscles of your abdominal wall before pulling your remaining skin tight and closing the incision. The result will be a flatter, firmer stomach.
Some patients don’t need a full tummy tuck. Those who carry any excess skin or fat only below their belly button can often elect to have a mini tummy tuck. This operation offers a smaller incision and a shorter recovery time. The small incision severely limits the amount of abdominal muscle repair that is possible, however, so it isn’t always an option.
Do I Need a Full or Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is certainly an appealing option, but it simply isn’t always the right choice. If you are currently at and have maintained a normal, healthy weight throughout your life but have a stubborn “pooch” below your navel, a mini tummy tuck may work admirably for you. But if you’ve lost a large amount of weight or have been pregnant, you may need a full tummy tuck instead.
You are likely a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck only if you:
- Have good muscle tone throughout your abdomen
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Lack a divided space between your abdominal muscles (often caused by pregnancy)
- Feel your problem area is below your navel
Still not quite sure? No worries. We’re here to help you and we want you to be thrilled with your Austin tummy tuck results. Although we certainly won’t push you towards a more extensive (and expensive) full tummy tuck if that’s not what you need, we’re also here to steer you toward the best option for your body. We don’t want you to make a mistake with something as important as your health.
Affordable Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Austin
They say everything’s bigger in Texas, which makes Austin the perfect place for a Brazilian butt lift. This popular procedure offers patients all the best parts of plastic surgery, removing unwanted fat deposits from one part of the body and reinjecting it into the buttocks where it is more desirable. And while all surgeries come with a certain amount of risk, BBLs are considered quite safe since they don’t add anything artificial to your body. A BBL will do a bit of rearranging, but the final result is all you.
Will I Have Scars?
If you’re considering getting a BBL in Austin, you’ve probably been doing your homework. If so, you already know that during the procedure, your doctor will remove fat from specified areas of your body and then reinject it into your buttocks in several places. It’s easy to learn the basics of the procedure, but harder to find information on what type of scarring you’ll have after all this surgical poking and prodding.
The answer is very little. The fat inserted into your buttocks is implanted through a syringe. As a result, you really shouldn’t notice any scars on your backside. Think of it just like getting a flu shot. You may, however, notice minimal scarring at the liposuction sites where your doctor removed the donor fat. These are typically only 2 to 3 millimeters long and not highly visible or obvious since our surgeons are quite skilled at hiding them in the natural contours of your body whenever possible. They won’t be completely invisible, however. In 3 to 6 months, these scars will fade from pink to a more natural skin color and many patients have trouble finding them at all.
Mommy Makeover in Austin – Post-Pregnancy Cosmetic Surgery for Moms
You love your children, of course, but you may not love what pregnancy and breastfeeding have done to your body. If you’re feeling trapped in someone else’s body after the birth of your kids, we can help you put things back where you want them. One of the best things about getting a mommy makeover in Austin is the personalized care and attention you’ll receive. That’s because there is no stock mommy makeover procedure. Instead, a mommy makeover comprises only the specific suite of surgeries and corrections you desire.
For many moms in Austin, a mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck. Some women also experience sagging or a loss of breast volume post-pregnancy and opt for breast augmentation or a breast lift to combat these issues. If expanding pregnancy breasts refuse to abate after your pregnancy and have left you feeling top-heavy, you could also opt for a breast reduction. Women who have always struggled with large breasts sometimes choose to have the issue corrected during a mommy makeover as well. Women are also increasingly opting to include vaginal rejuvenation in their mommy makeovers, too. At the end of the day, plastic surgery is about helping you feel comfortable in your own skin. When it comes to a mommy makeover, you and your surgeon decide which procedures are right for you and your goals.
What if I Want More Kids?
Given how much pregnancy can change your body, it’s no surprise that you may feel a strong desire to get your body back as quickly as possible afterward, but it’s important that you don’t rush the process. You should wait at least 6 months after giving birth before considering a mommy makeover. This gives your body ample time to recover, during which its elasticity may surprise you. You should also wait to have a mommy makeover until you are certain you are done having babies.
A mommy makeover won’t interfere with your ability to get pregnant or have a healthy pregnancy, but getting pregnant will interfere with your mommy makeover. Pregnancy is a natural process that can and should cause your body to change, and any previous plastic surgeries won’t slow that process down. You are very likely to alter or completely undo the surgical changes made to your body if you get pregnant again after completing your makeover. Although it’s not impossible to have a second mommy makeover if you do get pregnant again after the first, the second procedure may be more complicated.
