Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women with underdeveloped, asymmetrical, or post-pregnancy breasts, this procedure restores confidence through natural-looking results. Dr. Riou's expertise ensures precise implant placement and personalized sizing, with a focus on minimizing complications and maximizing patient satisfaction.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles post-pregnancy or weight loss. This procedure addresses diastasis recti and stubborn fat deposits, creating a flatter, more toned profile. Dr. Riou's technique prioritizes scar minimization and natural contours, with most patients resuming normal activities within weeks.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast Reconstruction restores natural appearance after mastectomy using implants or autologous tissue. Dr. Riou specializes in immediate and delayed reconstruction, focusing on symmetry and emotional recovery. Techniques include tissue expanders, DIEP flaps, and nipple-sparing approaches to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets diet-resistant fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back. Using advanced suction techniques, this procedure sculpts the body with minimal downtime. Dr. Riou combines liposuction with skin-tightening methods for comprehensive body contouring, ensuring smooth, proportional results.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover combines breast augmentation and tummy tuck to address post-pregnancy changes. This customized procedure restores pre-baby contours by tightening abdominal muscles and enhancing breast volume. Dr. Riou tailors each plan to individual needs, delivering transformative results that boost confidence and quality of life.

Questions
What breast augmentation options are available?
We offer saline and silicone implants with various placement techniques. Dr. Riou will help determine the best option based on your anatomy and goals during consultation.
How long is recovery after a tummy tuck?
Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks. Full recovery takes 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth healing.
Do you offer financing for cosmetic procedures?
Yes, we provide financing options to make procedures more accessible. Contact our office for details about eligibility and application processes.
What makes your breast reconstruction approach unique?
We combine technical expertise with personalized care, offering both implant-based and autologous tissue reconstruction while emphasizing emotional support throughout the journey.
Are liposuction results permanent?
Results are long-lasting with stable weight maintenance. The procedure removes fat cells permanently, but remaining cells can expand if significant weight gain occurs post-surgery.
What safety measures are in place for surgeries?
Our AAAASF-accredited facility follows strict protocols. Dr. Riou uses local anesthesia with sedation when possible and maintains detailed complication records for continuous quality improvement.
