Plastic Surgery | Breast Augmentation | St. Louis Dr. Michele Koo, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, St. Louis, Missouri, has an exceptional eye for detail and is meticulous about achieving the perfect individualized procedure for you. Dr. Koo is passionate about making you look and feel your best. "I believe in customizing each individual procedure and putting you in balance aesthetically," she says. "My love and desire is to help you achieve your cosmetic goals."

The procedures that Dr. Koo says are her most popular:

BODY CONTOURING — "Body contouring is the re-creation of form; it is not mere liposuction," says Dr. Koo. "For total body dramatic reshaping, I use ultrasonic liposuction. This allows me to be more aggressive with the amount of fat I can remove, achieving entire body makeovers in one single operation." She says that she also uses traditional liposuction for finessing and fine detailing. She also offers abdominoplasty (tummy tucks) for body reshaping.
BREAST AUGMENTATION — Dr. Koo creates uniquely beautiful, natural looking breasts that place your body in perfect harmony and balance. Dr. Koo truly understands what a woman wants. She understands that you want fullness, sexiness, and cleavage for your breasts without them looking fake or being the center of attention as you walk into a room. She understands the fine line between achieving large enough breasts versus feeling overwhelmed, self-conscious, and fake.

Dr. Koo uses both silicone and saline breast implants for your breast augmentation and will determine the perfect implant type, shape, and size based on your height and weight. She chooses the perfect breast implant for you based on how much breast tissue you have, the quality of your skin, and your ultimate cosmetic desires. She takes into consideration the uniqueness of the size and shape of your native breasts and whether you have had children, or will have children, and your age.
BREAST REDUCTION — Dr. Koo performs breast reductions that will significantly reduce your neck, back and shoulder pain. The grooves in your shoulder will be relieved and the skin rashes will disappear. Dr. Koo reduces the heaviness of your breasts, lifts them off your stomach and centers them back on your chest with the nipples pointing outward instead of downward. Afterwards, you will remark on how truly beautiful your breasts appear in addition to how much relief you will have gained.

After the breast reduction surgery, Dr. Koo's patients often remark that "the breast reduction surgery was one of the best things they have ever done for themselves." Your breasts will be shapelier and appear more youthful after Dr. Koo removes the excess skin and breast tissue and lifts the breasts, making it so much more comfortable and manageable. You will no longer be embarrassed to wear a swim suit and will not have to wear two supportive bras to exercise.

Dr. Koo specializes in Non-Invasive and Minimally Invasive procedures such as BOTOX®, Restylane®, Hylaform, Sculptra™, and Radiesse™. She also performs minimally invasive cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in her office with quick recovery time.
