Mommy Makeover procedures by Dr. Stephen Herring


Dr. Stephen Herring, a Plastic surgeon in Fayetteville, NC, is the owner and director of Herring Plastic Surgery. One of the more popular procedures currently performed by Plastic surgeons is the "mommy makeover," in which attention is focused on the breasts and abdomen in an effort to return them to their look before childbirth. The Mommy Makeover is one of the procedures offered to patients by Dr. Stephen Herring of North Carolina.

The Mommy Makeover is a very popular group of procedures that many patients get to fix the effects of having children. The process of having children can effect many parts of the body including the abdomen, breasts, thighs, buttocks, arms, and face. Many patients want to return to the appearance they had before having children and find that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve their goals. Many patients will seek Plastic surgery to help work towards these goals. The Mommy Makeover performed by Dr. Stephen Herring can improve a patients self image by working towards the figure that was present before surgery. 

Dr. Stephen Herring performs many different procedures for the Mommy Makeover including abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, thigh lift, arm lift, buttock lift, and laser skin resurfacing. The procedures performed by Dr. Herring are customized to fit the specific situation of each patient, and work towards the patients goals.

Breast Augmentation - Brief Explanation





A former president of the North Carolina Medical Board, Stephen Herring, MD, is a plastic surgeon practicing in Fayetteville, NC. He has treated over 15,000 patients during his two decades of medical practice. Among the surgical procedures that Dr. Stephen Herring performs is breast augmentation.

Clinically denoted as augmentation mammaplasty, breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size of the breast. It involves placing breast implants under the chest muscles or breast tissue. When fat is used instead of implants, the procedure is known as a fat transfer breast augmentation. 

The reasons behind a woman’s decision to have breast augmentation surgery are highly personal. Some women decide to have the surgery to improve self-confidence or self-image, while others want to compensate for breast size reduction after pregnancy or even-out breasts that are different sizes. In addition, some women who have undergone a mastectomy as a treatment for breast cancer, choose to have breast reconstruction surgery, which typically includes breast augmentation. 

A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help an individual fully understand the breast augmentation procedure, possible risks and complications, and the follow-up care required.
