Mommy Makeover St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery William H. Huffaker, MD, FACS | Herluf G. Lund, MD, FACS Charles R. Nathan, MD | Christian A. Prada, MD, FACS There are several plastic surgeons in St. Louis to choose from, but few have the experience, credentials, or artistic talents of the board-certified plastic surgeons at St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery. For over 40 years, their knowledgeable surgeons have continued to set the standards of excellence for cosmetic procedures in the St. Louis area, and they were pioneers in bringing the “mommy makeover� to St. Louis.

The body undergoes many changes after childbirth: The breasts lose volume and begin to sag; abdominal muscles stretch and become loose; and excess weight accumulates in the hips, thighs, and buttocks. A mommy makeover procedure from St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery includes a combination of transformative procedures to remove fat, flatten the abdomen, and improve breast shape. Women can choose a combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to achieve those results.

Granite

Granite Busters Beata Hodzic, Vice President | Enis Hodzic, President and owner At Granite Busters, technology is a major difference-maker. Owner Enis Hodzic has transformed his business from “old school� into one of the most advanced granite fabrication facilities in the Midwest.

It starts with laser templating: Granite Busters captures a precise image of the countertop space. Then, measurements are loaded into a 3-D imaging program that allows the customer to envision virtually any stone style or color prior to installation. The imaging also ensures that slab seams are perfectly matched, eliminating human error during the installation. Once the ideal slab is selected from Granite Busters’ massive on-site inventory, it is precisely cut by a water laser to the custom specifications. After that, the slab is transferred to a robotic edging machine for a perfectly cut edge. The final step is delivery and installation.

Granite Busters is the only granite retailer in the region that offers a lifetime installation guarantee. Granite Busters stands alone in price, quality, and service. The total value is unsurpassable.

The Vault/Women’s Closet Exchange Sue McCarthy | Diana Ford Sue McCarthy, Diana Ford, and Laura Maurice (not pictured) own and operate what many around the globe consider the best designer resale shops in the country. Each day at Women’s Closet Exchange and The Vault, they look through 1,000-plus items from more than 15,000 people. Television audiences got a glimpse of the process on Style Network’s “Resale Royalty.”

When buying from sellers who enter the store, or from clients whose closets they help “purge,” the women only consider items in perfect condition that were purchased in the last two to three years. Women’s Closet Exchange and The Vault look more like well-curated, 6,000-square-foot closets than resale boutiques. Shoppers can find items from a wide variety of high-end brands, from lululemon to Louis Vuitton.

Always pushing the envelope and never settling for a label of what they are, the shops’ owners are looking to soon expand The Vault to include 1,000 square feet of gifts.

Warming St. Louisans in Need EnergyCare Brandi O’Kelley, President Brandi O’Kelley is president of EnergyCare, the organization that has been helping vulnerable, low-income people find safety from the extremes of temperature in St. Louis since 1983. Low-income individuals face impossible choices: pay for heating or buy food; fill prescriptions or use the air conditioner. These problems are especially acute for the families EnergyCare serves—the elderly, chronically ill, disabled, or children under 5 years old—because they are most vulnerable to extremes of temperature.

EnergyCare provides emergency help to people in dangerously hot or cold homes, supplying window airconditioning units in summer; electric heaters or blankets in winter; and, when funds are available, help with utility bills. In addition, EnergyCare is offering a growing range of preventative services, including HVAC repairs and home weatherization. These services help clients stay safe, reduce energy costs, and prevent disconnections. Ultimately, EnergyCare prevents hospitalizations, promotes independence, and saves lives.
