As the holiday season approaches, the desire to look and feel one’s best intensifies. The festive season is a time of joy and celebration, but it can be a considerable source of distress and unhappiness for anyone struggling with body image issues.
In an effort to reclaim their confidence, many people are exploring various avenues. Among these paths, plastic surgery has traditionally been a significant choice for those seeking a truly transformative change.
Though plastic surgery was once criticized, in the modern age, it has moved away from simply conforming to changing beauty standards, becoming a way to align one’s physical appearance with a sense of self.
Dr. Jerry Chidester, a prominent plastic surgeon, maintains that cosmetic procedures can be a pathway to restored confidence when done for the right reasons—such as rectifying body issues that cause discomfort or dissatisfaction.
“The time before holidays, in particular, brings about a surge in the desire for transformation. People want to embrace this joyous period, feeling their best,” he shares. “My mission is to help them achieve that. We work together to create a plan that reflects their aspirations.”
Affectionately known as Dr. Chiddy, with years of experience in the field, this Utah-based surgeon has played an instrumental role in helping countless people regain their confidence and feel comfortable in their skin. In fact, his commitment to patient-centered care and understanding of his patient’s unique needs and desires has earned him a reputation as one of the most trusted figures in the industry.
Yet what truly sets Dr. Chidester and his work apart are the innovative treatments and cutting-edge technology that perfectly cater to people of all ages. One of his most renowned treatments is the “Mommy Takeover”—a comprehensive suite of treatments designed to address the specific areas affected by pregnancy and childbirth.

As Dr. Chidester points out, new mothers frequently feel dissatisfied and depressed about their post-partum bodies.
“Women go through profound changes during pregnancy childbirth, which often causes a strong dissatisfaction post-partum,” he reveals. “This often leads to increased self-awareness and struggles with self-esteem. Now, imagine feeling so unhappy at a festive time when everyone around you is feeling joyous.”
It’s a stark reality that Dr. Chidester hopes he can change for the many patients that come knocking at his door.
The “Mommy Takeover” treatment, in particular, has shown tremendous results. Offering both surgical procedures, such as tummy tucks and liposuction, as well as some noninvasive options, like Botox and fillers, this revolutionary package has transformed the lives of countless new mothers wrestling with body dysmorphia.
In essence, as Dr. Chidester highlights, much more than a mere set of procedures, the “Mommy Takeover” has been a wonderful journey back to self-love and to a radiant smile upon looking in the mirror.
And while Dr. Chidester is celebrated for “Mommy Takeover,” his repertoire extends far beyond catering to new mothers. He offers diverse treatments designed to empower all people to reclaim their bodies and increase their self-esteem.
Take, for instance, liposuction. This procedure, a staple in the industry, has been a game-changer for people struggling with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.
Through targeted removal of fat, Dr. Chidester sculpts the body, enhancing natural curves and contours. The result? A renewed sense of self as people find their bodies reflecting their inner vitality.
Then there’s the body lift, a set of treatments that rejuvenate the look of the tummy area. And since Dr. Chidester performs this procedure under general anesthesia, it’s a painless experience that only features some discomfort during recovery.
While the results achieved through these procedures have been remarkable, Dr. Chidester advises a balanced approach to indulgence post-op.
“It’s perfectly fine to enjoy the holiday treats. In fact, I encourage it, but moderation is key,” he says. “Moreover, you need to exercise as much as you can so your new body retains its shape, and you can shine all season long.”
As the holiday season draws near, Dr. Chidester has been an indispensable ally for many people who desire to look and feel their best. His procedures have helped people radiate their inner beauty and regain much-needed control over their bodies.
As he says, “The journey of transformation is not just about altering your physical appearance. It’s about loving yourself and celebrating your body. And there’s no better time to start this journey than now.”
