You Made the Right Decision Before. Now It's Time for a Better One.
You had a mommy makeover because you wanted to feel like yourself again after children. But implants weren't what you expected. Maybe they don't feel right. Maybe your body is telling you something is wrong. Maybe the idea of foreign materials inside your body no longer aligns with how you want to live.
You're not alone. Thousands of women have reached the same conclusion — and they're looking for a surgeon who can remove the implants, restore natural volume, and reshape their body using their own tissue. That's exactly what the Holistic Mommy Makeover was designed to do.
"The Holistic Mommy Makeover isn't just a procedure — it's a philosophy. Your body has everything it needs. We just need to use it correctly."— Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD
What Is the Holistic Mommy Makeover?
A comprehensive, single-session transformation that removes old implants and simultaneously reshapes your body using your own fat — no foreign materials, no second surgery, no compromise.
Implant Removal & Revision Lift
Old implants are removed with complete capsulectomy. If necessary, a revision lift is performed simultaneously to restore breast shape and position without implants.
Precision Fat Harvest
Fat is carefully harvested from the posterior, inner and outer thighs, flanks and love handles, and the abdomen — the areas most women want to reduce after having children.
BodyTite Tissue Tightening
InMode's patented bipolar radiofrequency device tightens tissues deeply at every access point — posterior, inner and outer thighs, flanks, and anywhere fat was harvested.
Closed-System Fat Processing
Harvested fat is kept in the Wells Johnson fat transfer system — a closed canister on a vibration plate that gently separates fat from the aqueous component for optimal purity.
Precision Fat Transfer
Processed fat is returned via the Wells Johnson pump under appropriate pressure for even distribution. Fat equalization is performed across all treatment areas for natural results.
Profile Sculpting
After fat placement through separate stab incisions, the lower outer pole below the breast is sculpted for better definition on profile view. The upper outer tail is also refined to prevent protrusion through clothing.
How the Holistic Mommy Makeover Works — Step by Step
Every step is performed in a single surgical session. Dr. Whitfield's extensive experience with fat acquisition and transfer ensures precision at every stage.
Implant Removal & Capsulectomy
Dr. Whitfield removes the existing implants and performs a complete capsulectomy. Every capsule specimen is sent for PCR testing to identify any bacterial contamination. If breast tissue requires repositioning, a revision lift is performed simultaneously.
Strategic Fat Harvest
Using specific micro air power-assisted liposuction cannulas designed for fat harvest, along with Black and Black and Wells Johnson fat harvest cannulas, fat is carefully collected from the posterior, inner and outer thighs, flanks and love handles, and the abdomen. Special care is taken with the abdomen — anyone who has had children typically has looser skin and may have stretch marks, requiring a more nuanced approach.
BodyTite Tissue Tightening
InMode's BodyTite — a patented bipolar radiofrequency device — is used to tighten tissues deeply. This can be performed simultaneously at the posterior, inner and outer thighs, flanks, and anywhere access has already been created to acquire fat. The radiofrequency energy contracts collagen fibers for immediate and progressive tightening.
Closed-System Fat Processing
Harvested fat is kept in a closed system within the Wells Johnson fat transfer system. The canister sits on a vibration plate that gently separates the layers — fat rises to the top, while the liquid aqueous component settles to the bottom. This process preserves the viability of fat cells for optimal transfer results.
Precision Fat Transfer & Sculpting
Once processing is complete, fat is returned from the canister via the Wells Johnson pump under appropriate pressure to evenly distribute the fat. Fat equalization is performed in the treatment areas. After placement through separate stab incisions, the lower outer pole just below the breast is sculpted for better definition on profile view, and the upper outer tail of the breast is refined because it can typically protrude through clothing.
Precision Tools for Natural Results
The Holistic Mommy Makeover requires specialized equipment and extensive experience with fat acquisition. Dr. Whitfield's practice uses purpose-built instruments at every stage — from harvest to processing to transfer — because the quality of the tools directly affects the quality of the result.
Micro Air Power-Assisted Liposuction Cannulas
Specifically designed for fat harvest, these cannulas minimize trauma to fat cells during extraction — preserving viability for transfer.
Black and Black & Wells Johnson Harvest Cannulas
Purpose-built fat harvest cannulas that collect fat efficiently while maintaining cell integrity across multiple donor sites.
InMode BodyTite
A patented bipolar radiofrequency device that tightens tissues deeply from within. Applied at every access point where fat was harvested for comprehensive skin contraction.
Wells Johnson Fat Transfer System
A closed-system canister on a vibration plate that gently separates fat layers. The pump returns processed fat under controlled pressure for even distribution.
Why "Holistic"?
The word "holistic" isn't marketing language. It describes the philosophy behind this procedure: treating the whole patient, not just the surgical site. The Holistic Mommy Makeover addresses body contouring, tissue tightening, natural volume restoration, and breast sculpting — all in a single session, all using your own tissue.
Combined with the SHARP Method for pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery, the approach treats your biology as a complete system. Your body is optimized before surgery, transformed during surgery, and supported through recovery.

Each donor site is selected for both the quality of fat it provides and the contouring benefit of removing it. BodyTite tissue tightening is applied at every access point.
Abdomen
Special care is required — patients who have had children typically have looser skin and may have stretch marks. The approach is nuanced to address both fat removal and skin quality.
Flanks & Love Handles
One of the most common areas of stubborn fat after pregnancy. Removing fat here creates a dramatic improvement in waistline definition and overall silhouette.
Inner Thighs
A high-quality fat source that also produces significant contouring benefits. BodyTite tightening is applied simultaneously to address skin laxity.
Outer Thighs & Posterior
Fat from these areas is ideal for transfer. Harvesting here reshapes the lower body while providing ample volume for breast and profile sculpting.
The SHARP Method Makes Every Result Better
Fat transfer results are significantly improved when combined with the SHARP Method. Pre-operative preparation optimizes your biology — improving tissue health, reducing inflammation, and increasing fat cell viability. This means more transferred fat survives and integrates with surrounding tissue.
Post-operative recovery protocols — including lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, and ongoing nutritional support — accelerate healing and optimize long-term results. The Holistic Mommy Makeover combined with SHARP preparation consistently produces the best outcomes.

Your Preoperative Protocol — Precision Starts Before the First Incision
Every patient who wants a fat transfer undergoes a comprehensive preoperative evaluation. Dr. Whitfield wants to know exactly what he's working with before surgery begins.
DEXA Scan
Every fat transfer patient receives a DEXA scan preoperatively. Dr. Whitfield wants to know your actual ratios between lean muscle mass, body fat, and bone density before surgery. This data directly informs the surgical plan — how much fat can be safely harvested, from which sites, and how to optimize your body composition outcome.
Comprehensive Testing
Every patient receives comprehensive testing covering genetics for detoxification pathways, toxicity burden, gut health, food sensitivities, and hormone balance. This full picture allows Dr. Whitfield and the functional medicine team to optimize your biology before surgery — not just manage it afterward.
Inflammation Reduction
The SHARP program helps lower inflammation preoperatively. Reduced systemic inflammation before surgery improves fat cell viability during transfer, accelerates healing, and produces better long-term results. This is one of the most important factors in fat transfer success that most surgeons overlook.
Toxicity Burden Reduction
If a patient has a high toxicity burden, Dr. Whitfield works aggressively to lower it preoperatively using the SHARP Method. High-priority toxins include atrazine, heavy metals, and mycotoxins (ochratoxin, aflatoxin, and others). Reducing toxicity burden before surgery significantly improves outcomes and reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
The Inflammation Support Bundle
Every surgical patient receives the Inflammation Support Bundle to help lower inflammation before and after surgery. These targeted supplements work synergistically to reduce systemic inflammation, support detoxification, and prepare your body for optimal healing.
