How do I choose a qualified Plastic Surgeon?

Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Buford are both Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.  Their combined years of experience offers a reassuring base of surgical expertise to our patients and delivers the professional quality, skill and knowledge necessary to meet your realistic expectations and accomplish the results you desire. And continuing education through attendance at national and local educational meetings allows them to be trained in the latest expertise and the most progressive techniques available in cosmetic surgery.

Our philosophy: When you become our patient - you become our patient for life.

What is the right age for plastic surgery?

It is not the question of too old, but whether one is healthy enough to have the surgery. We always individualize your care. We will work closely with your physician (s) or medical specialists to develop a surgical plan that is thoughtful and safe for you.
Your desire to change your appearance is the biggest factor for when to choose plastic surgery. Younger aged people seem to have better results due to factors such as better skin resiliency and healing abilities, but those factors are very individual.

Where will my surgery be performed?

Our surgical procedures are performed in a certified surgical facility, which uses only board certified anesthesiologists. Most procedures are done under general anesthesia, but local anesthesia and intravenous sedation can also be used based on patient/physician preference.

What do we ask from our patients?

To give long and thoughtful consideration for the surgical plan developed for you by our practice:

• It is also significant that you fully understand the purpose and goals of the surgery.
• That you become educated and aware of the cosmetic procedure (s) and its associated risks and complications.
• Have realistic expectations to make an informed decision to proceed.
  

How should I prepare for plastic surgery?

About 2 weeks prior to surgery, we recommend you discontinue aspirin and aspirin containing products such as Advil. Certain vitamins and herbal supplements such as St. John's Wort should also be discontinued prior to surgery. We recommend smoking cessation and avoidance of all nicotine containing products for at least one month prior and following surgery to avoid delayed wound healing. You will need someone to drive you to and from the surgery center and stay with you for 24-48 hours and after surgery. For those patients requesting and needing post op nursing assistance please click here for additional information regarding extended care.

How much pain will I have after surgery?

No surgery is pain free. Surgery involving muscles such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast enlargement (implant under the muscle) are generally more painful than skin only procedures. The pain is worse during the first 2-3 days post surgery, with daily improvement in the following 10 days. You will be given pain and other medication to help you feel comfortable.

For certain surgeries of the breast and abdomen, we are now able to provide our patients a new device called a pain pump, which you will wear at home to reduce pain and decrease the need for stronger pain medicines. (Please ask us to provide you with further information if you are interested.)

How much bruising and swelling will I have after surgery?

Facial bruising lasts about 10-14 days, body bruising, such as with LipoSelection^SM by VASER^® can last 2-3 weeks. We will discuss with you at your consultation which herbal medicines will help decrease swelling and bruising. Swelling varies with each patient and procedure and may be present for up to 3-6 months.

How long do I need to recover?

Following surgery you will have physical restrictions on your activities for several days to several weeks depending the surgery. Business and social activities need to be curtailed to give your body sufficient time for healing. For more involved surgeries such as facelift, abdominoplasty, and breast reduction you will need to be off of work for 2-3 weeks. Breast augmentation varies between several days and 2 weeks. We will discuss with you in detail specific work and exercise restrictions.

Can I still gain weight after LipoSelection^SM by VASER^®?

We are born with a certain number of fat cells. During LipoSelection^SM by VASER^®, fat cells are removed with the surgery. The remaining fat cells have the ability to expand or shrink dependent upon the individual's energy reserves. Thus, you can gain weight if you don't follow a good exercise and nutrition program. With mild to moderate weight gain following LipoSelection^SM by VASER^®, the fat is redistributed, but the new "silhouette" is usually maintained.

Will I still have cellulite or rippling after LipoSelection^SM by VASER^®?

The aim and goal of surgery is to improve one's appearance as it relates to shape and volume. Depending upon the degree and the magnitude one's cellulite and rippling prior to surgery, will affect the post -operative outcome. In mild to moderate cases, the cellulite and rippling is usually improved with the surgery.

Will my breast augmentation change after pregnancy?

The number of pregnancies and duration of breast-feeding may have a profound effect on the outcome following breast augmentation. Sometimes this may lead to sagging breasts and/or loss in breast tissue volume. The timing of surgery as it relates to pregnancy and breast-feeding should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Do breast implants need to be changed every 10 years?

No, unless one is having mechanical problems with the implants. We usually do not recommend the implants be exchanged for new ones.

Do implants rupture?

Mechanical failure of the mammary implants is possible. The rate of failure is low and should be discussed with your surgeon, including the implant manufacturer's limited warranty.
