Areas of Core Expertise
Masterfully Sculpting Your Confidence!
MOMMY MAKEOVER
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after childbirth.
Commonly including breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and liposuction, this makeover addresses post-pregnancy changes like sagging skin and volume loss.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying muscles to create a firmer, flatter, and more contoured abdomen.
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is a refined surgical technique designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. By targeting specific areas—such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or arms—it helps contour the body and enhance overall symmetry.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. Whether aiming for subtle volume or a more dramatic transformation, the procedure is tailored to each individual’s goals and body proportions.

FAQs
What body contouring procedures does Dr. Mario Russo offer?
Dr. Mario Russo specializes in liposuction (including 360 and PAL techniques), liposculpture, abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), breast enhancement, Brazilian butt lifts, mommy makeovers, and full-body lift procedures—all performed with precision to achieve natural-looking, sculpted results. Each procedure is customized to your unique body shape and goals.
How do I know which procedure is right for me?
The best way is a personalized consultation with Dr. Mario. He’ll assess your body composition, skin elasticity, aesthetic goals, and medical history to recommend a single procedure or combination (like a mommy makeover) that will deliver the safest, most effective results for your specific needs.
What's the recovery time for body contouring surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure: Liposuction patients typically resume light activities within 3-5 days and return to gym within 3-4 weeks. Tummy tucks require 1-2 weeks off work and 6 weeks before full activity. Breast procedures take 1-2 weeks before normal duties. Dr. Mario provides detailed post-op guidelines to optimize healing.
How long do body contouring results last?
Liposuction results are permanent—removed fat cells don’t return. Tummy tuck and breast procedures offer long-lasting results when you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While skin naturally ages, your improved contours remain. Avoiding major weight fluctuations preserves your results for years.
Why does Dr. Mario Russo stand out from other surgeons?
Dr. Mario combines Italian precision with 15+ years of international surgical experience across Dubai, UK, Italy, and Russia. He’s GMC-registered, featured on Channel 4 and Discovery Channel, and trained in advanced techniques like deep-plane facelifts and 360 liposuction. Most importantly, he prioritizes natural, refined results over dramatic transformations—and has performed 8,000+ successful surgeries.
Is body contouring surgery safe?
Yes. Dr. Mario follows the highest surgical standards and ethical practices as a GMC-registered specialist and member of the European Society of Aesthetic Surgery. He uses advanced anesthesia protocols, state-of-the-art facility standards, and meticulous surgical technique. Safety is never compromised for aesthetics.
What if I'm worried about visible scarring?
Dr. Mario uses strategically placed incisions that follow natural body lines—hidden by swimwear or underwear for liposuction and tummy tucks. Incision placement is one of his signature techniques. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months with proper care.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans to make your procedure affordable. Contact our team to discuss financing options tailored to your budget.
How soon can I see my final results?
Initial results appear within 2-3 weeks as swelling reduces. Final contouring reveals itself over 3-6 months as tissues settle. Patience during this period is rewarded with beautifully sculpted results.
Can I combine multiple procedures in one surgery?
Absolutely. Mommy makeovers (tummy tuck + breast enhancement + liposuction) and other combination surgeries are routinely performed. Combining procedures saves recovery time and achieves comprehensive body transformation. Dr. Mario will advise what’s safe for your case.
