What are the risks and advantages of abdominoplasty?

Hello, usually we do not recommend undergoing an abdominoplasty simultaneously with a C-section. Most of the time, this is offered by the obstetrician which is not a qualified cosmetic or plastic surgeon. Therefore they end up doing a mini- tummy tuck instead of a full one. I have seen this and had to repair these mistakes many times. If there is a plastic or cosmetic surgeon there, the result will still be sub-optimal. For an abdominoplasty to be done properly with the best results, enough time has to have passed (minimum of three months) to allow the uterus to contract to its normal non-pregnant size and for the muscles and skin to be repaired properly over that. As well, the risk of infection is dramatically increased if done simultaneously. If you have any further questions or inquiries please visit my website at Drroya.com. Good luck!

Hello, although I am very conservative when it comes to the minimum age for cosmetic surgery, there are some exceptions to the rule. This is simply because of the psychological strain on the young patient. These include large deformed noses, severely large breasts and large ears. We actually perform ear tacking surgery (otoplasty) as young as age 9. We perform breast reduction as young as 16, and nose surgery or Rhinoplasty as young as 14. It all depends on the patient’s maturity level. That being said, we cannot touch the patient without the consent of a parent. You need to find a reliable qualified surgeon and consult with them to put your mind at ease. If you have any more inquiries or questions, you may visit my website at DrRoya.com. Good luck!

Hello, the two techniques used are open rhinoplasty whereby an incision is made at the bottom of the nose, carried into the nostrils and the skin is pulled off the nasal tissue. The other technique, which I personally use, is closed rhinoplasty. With this technique, there are no scars on the outside. All the incisions are inside the nostrils.

Hello. In Los Angeles we are limited to removing 5.5 liters of fat per surgery. That is equivalent to approximately ten pounds. Fat doesn’t weigh much. Liposuction usually gets rid of inches, and sculpts out the body. For a real weight loss, you should inquire about weight loss surgeries. We suggest Orbera balloon insertion or Gastric Sleeve, which I offer at my surgery center. If you have any further questions or inquiries please visit my website at Drroya.com. Good luck!
