Southwest Plastic Surgery

At Southwest Plastic Surgery, the mommy makeover consult often starts with Dr. Frank Agullo subtracting from the patient’s list rather than adding to it. “Mommy makeover” is a marketing name, he explains, not a single operation. His first job is to figure out which procedures actually serve a patient’s goals, and which ones they can skip. Sometimes the most useful thing he does is talk someone out of part of it.

Here is how Dr. Agullo walks patients through the decision.

What the Mommy Makeover Bundles

It is a list of procedures combined into one plan, not a fixed package. It can include a breast augmentation or whatever the breasts need, liposuction 360, a BBL (fat injections to the buttocks), and a tummy tuck. The team picks from that menu based on the individual. No one has to do all of it. The full overview lives on the practice’s mommy makeover page.

Being Unsure Is Normal

Dr. Agullo tells patients that walking in certain about one part and nervous about another is completely normal. Many are sure about the tummy tuck and anxious about implants, or the reverse. Being scared is not a reason to rush or to skip. It is a reason to slow down and go through each piece, one at a time, and patients are allowed to leave undecided.

Implant, Lift, or Both?

What Dropped	What Dr. Agullo Considers
Mostly lost volume	An implant may be enough
Nipple and tissue descended	A lift, often with a modest implant
Somewhere in between	A donut lift plus a modest implant

It depends on what dropped. If it is mostly lost volume, an implant can be enough. If the nipple and tissue have descended, an implant alone can make it look worse, and a lift enters the conversation. A donut lift, a small circle of skin around the areola, raises the nipple about an inch and re-centers it, and Dr. Agullo can place a modest implant through that same incision for upper fullness. The result is perkier and natural, with the scar hidden at the edge of the areola.

Liposuction or Tummy Tuck?

This is the conversation Dr. Agullo never lets a patient skip. Liposuction removes the fat that can be pinched. But if the abdominal muscles separated during pregnancy, a bulge remains when the muscles relax, and the only thing that repairs it is a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck flattens and tightens the abdomen and repairs the muscle, like a built-in corset. It is a bigger improvement than lipo alone, and it comes with a scar, a trade-off he lays out clearly.

Should a Patient Lose Weight First?

Stable matters more than low. If weight is still swinging, settling it first usually gives a better, longer-lasting contour. But a tummy tuck removes loose skin and repairs separated muscle, and dieting fixes neither, so the answer depends on what is actually bothering the patient. The team sorts that out at the exam.

One Surgery or Several?

Often it can be done in one, and that is usually the smarter choice: one anesthesia, one recovery, one block of time off. When planning combined surgery, Dr. Agullo weighs overall health and total operative time rather than stacking a wish list. If a list runs past the safe ceiling on operative time, he stages it into two calmer surgeries rather than one marathon, and he tells patients plainly when that is the safer route.

What Recovery Looks Like

At Southwest Plastic Surgery, patients are coached to expect the tummy tuck to drive the recovery in most mommy makeovers. It asks the most, with a real adjustment in the first week or two as the repaired muscle settles. The breast and liposuction portions ride alongside it without adding much.

The practice builds recovery support into the plan. In-house post-surgical massage keeps fibrosis from setting in, two Marena compression garments are provided and sized down as swelling drops, and a nurse helps with the first shower the next day. Most patients return to normal daily life sooner than they feared, with full exercise later. The advantage of combining procedures is doing this recovery once.

When Is the Right Time?

There is no universal answer, but there are good signals. A patient is done having children, or confident they are. Weight is stable. Help is lined up at home for the first week. And the reasons are the patient’s own, not a deadline someone else set. Dr. Agullo never wants a patient rushing a permanent decision to make an event, and he will say so if the timing is not right.

Recovery and Med Spa Support

Beyond the operating room, the practice’s Med Spa rounds out the mommy makeover journey, from skin care that complements the body work to maintenance treatments once healing is complete. The goal is a result that lasts, supported well after surgery day.

Talking Patients Out of What They Do Not Need

One thing that distinguishes Dr. Agullo’s approach is his willingness to remove items from a patient’s list. If liposuction alone will address a concern, he does not add a tummy tuck. If an implant will restore volume without a lift, he does not recommend longer scars. The practice measures a successful consult not by how many procedures get booked, but by how well the plan fits the patient. For many, the most reassuring part of the visit is hearing what they can safely skip.

After years of the filler-everything era, a different kind of consultation has become routine at Southwest Plastic Surgery. Patients are not arriving to add volume. They are arriving to have material taken out. Migrated filler, under-eye puffiness that never resolved, and permanent lip biopolymers causing asymmetry and firmness years later. Dr. Frank Agullo tells these patients that “I want it out” is often exactly the right instinct.

Here is how he approaches removal, and what he wants patients to understand before they decide.

Removing Permanent Lip Biopolymers

Biopolymers are permanent injectable materials, and over time the skin stretches around them and forms little bags. Dr. Agullo makes an incision right where the wet and dry parts of the lip meet, then removes the affected tissue and whatever he finds inside.

The incision goes all the way across, because removing it in spots leaves little dog ears, the puckered tissue at the edges. Placed where it is, it stays hidden. Healing takes about five days, and the scar keeps improving for roughly two months. Up close the line is visible; to everyone else it is not.

Dr. Agullo does not remove muscle. Some material sits deeper in the muscle, but cutting it would risk motion and expression, so he leaves the muscle intact. The body is already working to push the material toward the surface, which is part of why the bumps appear.

The Honest Part: Recurrence

Question Patients Ask	What Dr. Agullo Tells Them
Can it be removed?	Yes, affected tissue and material both
Will the muscle be cut?	No, motion and expression are protected
Could it come back?	About 40% of the time, with a discount when it does
Is removal riskier than placement?	More involved and sometimes staged, but often the right call

Dr. Agullo states the recurrence rate plainly. Once he removes what has surfaced, the body may keep pushing more up, and about six months later a patient sometimes notices it again and returns to have more removed. The practice applies a discount when that happens, because an honest number matters more than a perfect-sounding promise.

Migrated Filler in the Face

Old filler often does not fully dissolve. It migrates, drifting away from where it was placed. When a patient is already having a facelift, Dr. Agullo can place medication during the procedure to dissolve some of it, leaving the natural tissues intact instead of over-inflating an area like the high cheekbones. He is deliberately cautious about stacking more filler on top of filler.

Under-Eye Filler That Stays Puffy

One of the most common concerns the practice sees is under-eye filler that has held water and stayed swollen for years. Dissolving it is usually the first step, and it can take more than one treatment, especially if it has been in place a long time or earlier attempts did not work. Once the tissue returns to baseline, fat grafting is a safer way to address true hollowing. Recovery is supported through the practice’s ElixirMD and Med Spa services.

Why Removal Is More Involved Than Placement

It is natural to assume that material that went in easily will come out easily. At Southwest Plastic Surgery, Dr. Agullo explains that the opposite is usually true. Placing filler takes minutes through a needle. Removing it, especially permanent biopolymers, is more delicate and is sometimes staged across more than one visit.

The reason is that injected material does not stay in a tidy pocket. It spreads, scars into surrounding tissue, and with permanent products bonds to structures worth protecting, like nerves and muscle. Removal is its own operation, planned carefully, and the team is candid about what can be fully reversed and what cannot.

The Approach Behind the Practice’s Removal Work

Dr. Agullo built this part of the practice around honesty rather than promises. That means stating the recurrence rate for biopolymers, applying a discount when a patient needs a second removal, and resisting the temptation to layer new filler over old. For patients who have spent years adding volume, the message is consistent: the right move is often subtraction, patience, and letting their own tissue return to baseline before deciding on anything new.

What Recovery From Removal Looks Like

Recovery depends on what is removed. After lip biopolymer removal, the incision heals in about five days and the scar keeps improving for roughly two months. Patients are swollen at first, which is expected, and the team explains clearly what is normal versus what would be a reason to call.

Dissolving hyaluronic acid filler involves essentially no downtime beyond minor swelling or bruising at the injection points. Fat grafting later, once the tissue has returned to baseline, is gentle, with swelling that settles over a few weeks. None of it is dramatic, but Southwest Plastic Surgery makes sure each patient knows what to plan around before booking.

Common Reasons Patients Come In for Removal

The most frequent requests the practice sees fall into a few patterns: permanent lip biopolymers causing firmness or asymmetry, filler that has migrated away from where it was originally placed, and under-eye filler that has held water and stayed puffy for years. In each case, Dr. Agullo evaluates whether dissolving, surgical removal, or a staged approach is the right path, and he is candid about what can be fully reversed and what cannot.

Most patients who book a liposuction consult at Southwest Plastic Surgery arrive already worried about the same thing: the lumpy, scooped, over-done result they have seen online. Dr. Frank Agullo tells them that fear is a healthy one, and that the answer to it is not luck. It is judgment about how much fat to leave, paired with an aftercare plan that starts the day after surgery.

This is how Dr. Agullo walks patients through liposuction 360 and fat transfer.

What a Lipo 360 Covers

Three-sixty means the contouring goes all the way around the trunk. Dr. Agullo treats the full abdomen including the waistline, a little blending into the mons, the lateral chest, the upper and lower back, and the flanks. For arms, the approach is essentially circumferential. The goal is a result that reads from every angle, which is why the practice focuses on full body contouring rather than a single panel.

Why He Leaves Healthy Fat Behind

The over-done look comes from one error: taking out too much. Dr. Agullo leaves enough healthy fat so the contour still looks natural. A bad lipo, he says, is one where you can tell at a glance that someone had liposuction, with an irregular contour and a belly button that looks off.

To smooth the surface over what remains, the practice uses J-Plasma skin tightening. How much the skin tightens depends on how each patient’s body responds, which is why Dr. Agullo is careful not to promise a fixed number.

Lipo or Tummy Tuck? The Honest Answer

What You Notice	What Dr. Agullo Recommends
Fat you can pinch, skin that snaps back	Liposuction 360
A bulge only when you relax your muscles	Tummy tuck to repair separated muscle
Loose skin after major weight loss	Tummy tuck or skin excision, not lipo alone
Flat tummy but lost curves	Lipo plus fat transfer to the hips

Liposuction removes the fat that can be pinched. If a bulge appears when the muscles relax, that is usually muscle separation, and the only thing that repairs it is a tummy tuck, which flattens and tightens the abdomen like a built-in corset. Dr. Agullo lays out that trade-off, scar and all, before anyone decides.

Don’t Discard the Fat

Once fat is discarded, it cannot be recovered, and rebuilding volume later with a product like Sculptra gets expensive. Dr. Agullo encourages patients to consider keeping it.

It does not have to mean a dramatic Brazilian Butt Lift. Sometimes filling the hip dips is enough to carry a smooth line from waist to hip without much projection. He tailors the transfer from very subtle to dramatic, working from a photo of the shape the patient likes, and overfills slightly because about thirty percent reabsorbs. The result looks a little full at first, then settles. The same own-tissue approach guides fat injection elsewhere on the body.

Aftercare Is Half the Result

Smooth results are built after surgery as much as during it. Two things matter most at Southwest Plastic Surgery.

First, lymphatic massage. An in-house tech sees patients two or three times a week for about four weeks to break up fibrosis before it sets. Second, Dr. Agullo leaves a small abdominal drain so trapped fluid clears quickly during massage, because trapped fluid is what creates lumpiness.

Garments are provided: two Marena fajas with clips so the team can size patients down as swelling drops, worn four weeks, off twice a day to shower. Patients shower the next day, a nurse visits to help with that first shower, and most swelling clears by two weeks, with improvement continuing up to six months. The Med Spa supports recovery from there.

What Recovery Actually Feels Like

Patients are often surprised that liposuction recovery is gentler than the recovery videos suggest. Dr. Agullo, who has had liposuction himself, describes the soreness as similar to returning to the gym after a long layoff: uncomfortable with movement, but tolerable. For anyone who has had a C-section, this is the easier recovery.

A visible difference shows up almost immediately, though swelling masks the final result for a while. Most patients are back to normal activity in about a week and cleared for full exercise at four weeks, with the contour continuing to refine for up to six months as swelling fully resolves.

Pairing Fat Transfer With Skin Tightening

When the goal is a smoother, more balanced silhouette rather than dramatic projection, Dr. Agullo often pairs a modest fat transfer to the hips with J-Plasma skin tightening over the treated areas. The fat restores curve where weight loss or anatomy created hollows, while the skin tightening helps the surface lie smooth over the new contour.

How much the skin tightens depends on the individual, which is why the practice frames it as a meaningful boost rather than a guarantee. The combination is planned to the patient’s own goals, from very subtle to more pronounced, using a reference photo of the shape they want.

Am I a Candidate for Liposuction 360?

The best candidates have localized fat they can pinch, reasonably good skin tone that will retract over the new contour, and a stable weight. Dr. Agullo is clear that liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss tool. Patients who are still actively losing weight are usually advised to settle it first for a better, longer-lasting result.

If the main concern is loose skin or separated abdominal muscle rather than pinchable fat, liposuction alone is the wrong tool, and the team will say so at the consultation. That is exactly the kind of distinction the practice sorts out before any plan is set, so patients invest in the procedure that actually matches their anatomy.

“I see patients who come in for a consultation without any intention of booking, but rather to learn about the procedure, the recovery times, and the cost of the surgery, so that they can start saving up for it.” That is how Dr. Frank Agullo describes a patient he meets more and more often at Southwest Plastic Surgery, and it is a real change from a few years ago.

Before, he says, patients used to come in ready to book and asking for the next available date, using credit for the payments or financing. It has definitely changed over the last five years, and the practice has built its consultations around helping patients plan well.

Why Patients Are Planning

Some patients simply want to avoid credit debt, so they bypass financing or paying with their credit cards. Even when they may have an earlier timeline, maybe within a year, they prefer to save once they learn the cost and pay it off before surgery. Some of them actually start making payments directly at the clinic, without any interest, before they have their procedure.

Dr. Agullo also sees patients in their early twenties and thirties planning years ahead, and patients in their forties and fifties thinking about a facelift or facial rejuvenation procedure in three to five years.

The Two Buckets of Aesthetic Cost

The planning makes sense because aesthetic treatments fall into two buckets.

The first bucket is the treatments performed routinely, like botulinum toxin every four months, fillers every year or every two years, facials every one or two months, and skin tightening procedures once or twice a year. These are expenses patients have already learned and can foresee.

The other bucket is the surgical procedures, which obviously have a larger sticker price and do require financial planning, whether it’s done beforehand or by budgeting for payments afterwards.

Bucket	Examples	Cadence	Planning Style
Routine	Botulinum toxin, fillers, facials, skin tightening	Monthly to yearly	Predictable, budgeted
Surgical	Facelift, breast lift or augmentation, tummy tuck, BBL	One-time	Save ahead or interest-free in-house payments

The Patients Who Plan Make Better Choices

Dr. Agullo is clear that the patients who plan ahead make better decisions and choices, rather than looking for the latest bargain or deal. They look for the most qualified surgeons, they look for board-certified plastic surgeons, and they do their research. Although these providers are often on the more expensive side, the planners budget for that expense and that quality.

The patients who haven’t planned tend to look for the least expensive option, which sometimes is a non-board-certified provider, or they choose to travel abroad. Those are the patients who usually run into trouble or complications. At Southwest Plastic Surgery, planning is encouraged precisely because it leads to safer choices.

The GLP-1 Effect

This trend has become more evident with the GLP-1s, like Ozempic, or semaglutide-like treatments. These patients see a quick weight loss, which a lot of times transforms into accelerated aging and changes in their body contour. As they see this, they start to plan ahead toward when they will achieve their weight loss goal.

While they get some treatments to slow the changes and restore some of the lost volume, they plan toward more long-lasting and effective solutions like facelifts, breast lifts or augmentations, tummy tucks, buttock lifts, or even Brazilian butt lifts. Dr. Agullo notes these patients range from twenty-year-olds to patients in their sixties and seventies. There is not one age-specific sector in the GLP-1 population. Recovery from any surgical step is supported through ElixirMD and the practice’s recovery program.

A lot of men spend months thinking about these procedures before they ever pick up the phone. Many do their research online first. Many even start with the practice chatbot, because it feels more private. By the time they sit down with Dr. Frank Agullo at Southwest Plastic Surgery, most already know the terminology. What they want is a straight answer from someone they trust.

Dr. Agullo says it plainly: these are actually very common procedures that most men already know about and have even researched for themselves. We just do not talk about them. This is the honest version of that conversation, and a look at how the practice handles men’s enhancement and wellness as a whole.

What Men Are Asking For

According to Dr. Agullo, men are asking for several different kinds of procedures, and the most common is size enhancement, usually done with fillers. The fillers that give the most volume are Voluma and VoluX. They increase girth and can add up to about half an inch of length, though length is not really the main objective or how it physically works.

Men who want to enhance sensation, or who have erectile dysfunction, often choose the P-Shot, which is essentially PRP, platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood, injected into the cavernous bodies and the crown to increase sensation, libido, and erection strength.

A newer request is Bocox, botulinum toxin into the cavernous bodies, which creates vasodilation and a larger, stronger erection, usually adding half an inch to an inch. It is used for erectile dysfunction and for men who simply want a stronger result.

Some men want a descended testicle look, with smoother scrotal skin, and to avoid the shrinkage that comes with temperature changes. Those men are candidates for Scrotox, Botox into the dartos muscle and scrotal skin.

The Sterility Warning the Practice Leads With

Dr. Agullo is firm on one point. The muscles relaxed during Scrotox are the muscles the body uses for temperature control of the testicles and the spermatic cord. Relaxing them can cause sterility. A man who still wants to have a family is not a candidate, because the procedure can make a male sterile. At Southwest Plastic Surgery that conversation happens before anything is scheduled.

It is also important to understand that all of these treatments are off-label. The products are FDA-approved, but they are used in an off-label nature, with the patient’s consent and a clear understanding of the risks and complications.

What These Procedures Realistically Do

Dr. Agullo spends part of every consultation correcting the same misconceptions. The first is that these procedures considerably lengthen the penis. They do not. Half an inch at most, maybe an inch, with a lengthening effect at rest and mostly an increase in girth.

The second is that the results are permanent. Fillers last one to two years, and Botox usually lasts three to six months.

The third, and the one he pushes back on most, is that bigger is always better. It is not. Sometimes the quality of the erection is more important than the size.

Who Comes In

There is no typical patient. There is a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Many men assume most patients consider themselves small, but a lot are already well-endowed and simply want enhancement. The thirty-to-fifty range is the most common, and the practice sees patients who travel in from other states for this.

Safety Comes First

The risks are real, which is why the setting matters. Dr. Agullo stresses that these procedures belong with a board-certified physician, in a sterile environment, using FDA-approved botulinum toxin and fillers. This is not the place to shop for the cheapest provider.

With penile fillers, possible complications include contour deformities that can be touched up, palpable nodules that can be dissolved, and edema in uncircumcised men that can interfere with intercourse or voiding. The product must be placed in the correct plane. The most serious complication is infection, which is avoidable with proper sterile technique and aftercare. Southwest Plastic Surgery performs these in an accredited, sterile setting for exactly these reasons.

Recovery and the Bigger Wellness Picture

Recovery is straightforward. Patients are usually asked to refrain from sexual activity for forty-eight to seventy-two hours, with any mild discomfort managed by over-the-counter ibuprofen or Tylenol. Botulinum toxin treatments take about two weeks to work, and PRP takes two to four weeks and sometimes needs repeating.

Male enhancement fits into a broader men’s program at the practice. Southwest Plastic Surgery sees men for cosmetic procedures, hair restoration, hormone replacement, weight loss therapies, peptides, and wellness IV drips through ElixirMD. Men are getting more comfortable with all of it, and the deciding factor is almost always a provider they trust.
