Holistic Mommy Makeover — Houston, TX
Houston women who want implant removal and body contouring without a new implant deserve a specialist, not a generalist.

Why Houston Patients Choose Dr. Whitfield
Houston has board-certified plastic surgeons who perform traditional mommy makeovers with new implants.

Dr. Whitfield’s practice in Austin is 2.5 hours by car or 45 min flight from Houston. Most patients complete their consultation remotely, then travel to Austin for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I travel to Austin for a Holistic Mommy Makeover instead of a Houston mommy-makeover surgeon?
Houston has surgeons who perform traditional mommy makeovers. The clinical question is whether your Houston surgeon offers an implant-free protocol built around en bloc capsulectomy, PCR pathology testing, closed-system fat processing, and BodyTite skin tightening in place of a traditional tummy tuck. If not, the trip to Austin is worth evaluating.
Can I do my consultation virtually before traveling to Austin?
Yes. Virtual consultations are the recommended first step for out-of-city patients. Dr. Whitfield reviews implant history, prior surgeries, and goals remotely, and most Houston patients complete their entire pre-operative process virtually.
How does recovery logistics work if I have young kids at home in Houston?
Many Houston patients bring a support person for the Austin stay and plan childcare at home in advance. The team helps coordinate the timeline around the surgical plan so the trip is as predictable as possible.
How is an Austin stay planned after surgery?
The Austin stay is planned around the procedure, capsule findings, and fat transfer volume. Dr. Whitfield's team provides individualized travel and follow-up guidance during surgical planning.
