On January 1, 2014, millions of Americans will have new health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. While our services at St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery are cosmetic, and therefore not covered by insurance, our patients may still feel the effects on the healthcare industry.

We see it everyday in our office: women who have had kids, and suddenly their bodies just don’t look the way they used to anymore. Childbearing takes a toll on a woman’s body, causing sagging breasts, protruding tummies, and fat rolls where none may have existed before. While a lot of moms have traditionally felt…

Advances in cosmetic surgery offer many benefits to patients…each year, it seems there are more and more options, surgical and non-surgical, for looking younger and healthier.

I’ve thought a lot in the past week about what to say about my actual surgical experience. I could go on and on for days talking about menial things that meant a lot to me, or I could sum it up in one sentence: “It went perfectly.” I’ll try to find a happy medium. The…

I’m not a particularly organized person, but I generally have some sort of plan. And while the plan may change a bit along the way, I can usually keep things on track fairly well as long as I show a little leniency for minor setbacks. But sometimes, all of the careful planning in the world…

After waiting for years to have her procedure (and three kids later), Michelle is finally through and on the road to recovery. While her first couple of nights were a little rough (pain medication made her groggy, and she didn’t want to do much), every day got a little better after that. She got up,…

Any woman who’s ever been pregnant knows what it feels like: it’s midnight and you’re exhausted, but you just can’t stop cleaning the house, making shopping lists, and generally trying to organize your life before chaos arrives in the form of a tiny, helpless baby. It’s called nesting, and preparing for surgery is actually pretty…

People choose to have cosmetic procedures for many reasons. Maybe they’ve always been unhappy with a feature on their body, or maybe they used to love the way they look and suddenly that changed. The reasons are as unique as the people themselves. For one of our mommies, Rhonda, this procedure is the “icing on…
