Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Neil J. Zemmel

Motherhood is a fulfilling life-changing experience.  However, childbearing puts a substantial strain on a woman's body and causes predictable changes to the breasts, hips, abdomen and face.  Primarily, a Mommy Makeover uses cosmetic surgical procedures to counteract and correct the visible, unwanted effects of childbirth, breastfeeding and childrearing.  But a Mommy Makeover isn't only about reversing nature:  it's also about turning back the clock and improving your overall appearance.

Dr. Neil J. Zemmel specializes in head to toe Mommy Makeovers. The procedures and treatments are individualized to meet the needs of mothers who want to look and feel their best.  Dr, Zemmel offers the latest minimally invasive treatments and surgical procedures to improve your look. 

You may choose to simply enjoy a BOTOX© treatment for the tiny lines and wrinkles around your eyes and forehead or a Fraxel treatment to smooth the skin and remove blemishes.  A facial rejuvenation procedure may be best for you.  Dr. Zemmel offers the latest minimally invasive procedures including the J-Lift, S-Lift, and endoscope brow lift.  In Virginia, breast enlargement, breast lifting and breast reduction are popular procedures for many women who have breastfed their children. Those women often choose to combine breast surgery with a body contouring procedure.  Body contouring procedures such as liposuction and SmartLipo can remove excess fat from the abdominal, hip, and thigh areas.  Loose hanging skin and stretch marks on the abdominal area can be treated with a Tummy-Tuck.

Since every woman has a different course through pregnancy a Mommy Makeover is personalized for each individual patient.  Both you and Dr. Zemmel will determine your ideal course of action during your consultation.

Our board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Neil J. Zemmel is recognized for his experience with cutting edge technology including laser assisted liposuction (SmartLipo), minimal incision facelifts, and dual plain breast augmentation.

Give yourself a little attention. You deserve it because motherhood should be a beautiful experience. Learn more...

What you should know about breast augmentation:

1. Breast augmentation surgery is about art and skill and experience.
2. The result is highly dependent on the skill of the surgeon, and is NOT the same from doctor to doctor.
3. There is not one "best choice" of implants, incisions, or implant placement.
4. Each patient is unique and requires an individual analysis and plan.
5. Everything in life has trade-offs and it is our job to educate you as to what these may be for you.
6. Compare what Dr. Zemmel offers BEFORE you decide about breast implants.
