Does fat come back after a tummy tuck?
Thank you for the question. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not a treatment for dat. It is a remodeling procedure in which s portion of skin and excess fat is removed from the abdomen. Once the area heals, if important weight is gained, the remainder of the fatty tissue in the abdominal area can increase in size. READ MORE
Procedure confusion?
Sometimes it is not the surgeon requesting these types of things, but the operating room due to the sterility of the environment required, for your procedure, or other more important procedures. Hope this helps. READ MORE
How soon can I wear makeup after septoplasty?
You should be able to use make up pretty soon after surgery, avoiding the bottom of your nose, if there are any incisions in the area. Make up will help hide any bruising that could occur.

How long after liposuction will I see results?
Thank you for the question. In general, depending on the kind of liposuction done, you will see results right away. As time goes by, and the swelling decreases, you will continue to see improvement. The final result probably will be seen around 3 months post-procedure. READ MORE
Does arm liposuction leave scars?
Thank you for the question. Liposuction is a procedure in which small cannulas are used either to create vacuum, or with ultrasound, to remove and remodel the fat from a certain area of the body. These cannulas are introduced through small incisions placed in strategic areas, that they may be inapparent once they heal. This is a topic to discuss with the professional of your election, to perform this procedure. Good luck! Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE
Is it easier to lose weight after liposuction?
Thank you for the question. This has been asked many times. The counter question would be, “What is the whole area that requires liposuction?” Liposuction usually is used for localized areas. However, there are some professionals that will do mega liposuctions. Liposuction is not a procedure for weight loss Rather, it is to remodel the areas where fat has greater accumulation in the body greater. From a psychological standpoint, the new image in the mirror, after liposuction, boosts the self esteem, helping the person to do the right things that lead to further weight loss. Hope that this helps. Luis A. Laurentin-Perez, MD PhD. READ MORE

The quick answer is yes! However, the skin has to be evaluated in order to recommend the required procedure. In general, a combination of different procedures is what works best.

You may also have a hypertrophied turbinate that may require treatment also. Luis READ MORE
