Bikini Season: Lift, Enhancement or Implant Exchange?

Bikini season is approaching quickly! Temperatures are getting warmer and the beaches are awaiting the arrival of beach-goers. Be the talk of the beach with a breast enhancement from Precision Plastic Surgery! Whether you’re interested in an increased size, an implant exchange, or a breast lift, Dr. McFate can have you ready for summer’s bikini season!

Breast Enhancements

One of the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States today is breast augmentation. Precision has an on-site surgery suite that is accredited through the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facility (AAAASF) and we can perform the surgery right here in our Austin, TX office!

Dr. McFate can increase the size of your breasts, restore fullness, and correct asymmetries. Our plastic surgeon can determine the best size and shape for your body type during one of our free consultations. He will discuss all of your options to help create a better idea of what will work best and what fits your expectations for breast augmentation.

Breast Implant Exchange

Patients should realize that breast implants are not a permanent solution. Many women can plan on maintaining their implants for over 30 years, but this is not always the case. Aging, breast shape and volume changes, or a newly desired body image are additional reasons that a person may elect to remove or exchange their implants.

Breast Lift

A breast lift is an excellent procedure to correct breast ptosis (sagging of the breast and nipple). Breast ptosis can result from aging, weight loss, and pregnancy. Dr. McFate is fully trained in the latest techniques of breast contouring to produce optimal results for his Austin area breast lift patients.

Dr. John McFate and the staff at Precision Plastic Surgery in Austin welcome any questions you may have about breast augmentation. Our plastic surgeon will help you determine which procedure is best for you and your body. You can contact us at our Precision Plastic Surgery office at (512) 270-8047, or you may request a free consultation with Dr. McFate online.

Be proud to show off your awesome beach body!

Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck: What's the Difference?

When researching which procedure you really need you might not know which direction to proceed. For example, patients often want to know what the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction is. Below we have outlined the two procedures and how they’re different.

Liposuction is a procedure commonly performed to remove excess fat. It’s the ideal procedure for removing fat from areas that you just haven’t been able to lose through diet and exercise. Liposuction is most commonly performed on the neck, abdomen and waist, back, hips, and the thighs. While liposuction removes the excess fat, it does not however, remove the excess skin. This is where a tummy tuck comes in.


A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin. Typically a patient who has gone through a major weight loss such as weight loss surgery or a pregnancy often has sagging skin. A tummy tuck removes any excess fat and sagging skin and then tightens the underlying abdominal muscles creating a more firm abdominal area.

Sometimes there are situations where a patient will want or need both procedures together. It’s a case by case situation in which a consultation would be required however liposuctions and tummy tucks are often performed at the same time.
To learn more about which procedure is best for you check out our liposuction page and our tummy tuck page. Both the liposuction and tummy tuck are part of our Mommy Make-Over Packages.

We have an on-site surgery suite that is accredited through the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facility. We also offer many discounts at local hotels for our out-of-state patients.
