Breast and Body Procedures in Sarasota
Find the Procedure That Fits the Change You Want
Dr. Alissa Shulman has performed breast and body surgery since 2000 and has practiced in Sarasota since 2009. She works below the neck only. She's been a board-certified plastic surgeon since 2002 and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.), which means she also holds privileges at the hospital next door if anything ever needs attention. Every procedure below is one she performs herself, from your first consultation through your last follow-up.
Your Own Fat, Not an Implant
Restore Volume With High Volume Fat Grafting
Fat grafting takes fat from an area where you don't want it and places it where you do. Dr. Shulman has performed it since 2013 and was the first surgeon in Sarasota to offer it. Patients travel from across Florida and the Southeast for it.

Cosmetic Breast Surgery in Sarasota
Change the Size, Shape, or Balance of Your Breasts
From a breast lift or breast reduction to breast augmentation with implants or your own fat, these procedures are planned around the shape you're actually after. Dr. Shulman prefers saline implants placed under the muscle and will walk you through why.

Explant Surgery With a Surgeon Who Supports It
Remove Your Implants and Decide What Comes Next
Dr. Shulman is a strong advocate for breast implant removal and performs explant surgery with or without a lift. She also treats capsular contracture, which is scar tissue that tightens around an implant and changes how the breast looks and feels.

Reconstruction After Breast Cancer
Rebuild After Mastectomy With the Surgeon Who Started There
Breast reconstruction is where Dr. Shulman began her career, and it's the one area of her practice where insurance applies. Her office sits next door to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and she co-manages nipple-sparing cases with a general breast surgeon.

Targeted Fat Removal in Sarasota
Treat the Areas That Don't Respond to Diet or Exercise
Liposuction removes fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and hips. In many cases the fat that comes out can be reused for fat grafting somewhere else on your body.

Body Contouring After Weight Loss or Pregnancy
Reshape Your Body After It's Already Changed
When skin doesn't tighten back up on its own, body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift remove what's left over and reshape the area.
