Many patients often ask how their menstrual cycles might affect the healing process after a labiaplasty surgery. This is a great question and an important one to consider while preparing for this treatment.
The simplest answer to this question is no, your menstrual cycle will not affect the healing process. However, there are a few factors you might want to keep in mind when scheduling your appointment and during your recovery. Scheduling your labiaplasty procedure soon after the last day of your menstrual cycle might make the recovery process a bit easier – sometimes mother nature adds extra inconveniences that […]
Women who are considering tummy tuck surgery to eliminate excess skin in the abdomen and tighten the underlying muscles often wonder about the timing of such a procedure: is it better to wait until after pregnancy? And, are there any risks to getting pregnant after having the surgery?
As far as the first question goes, our board-certified plastic surgeon typically recommends that patients wait on undergoing tummy tuck surgery until after they have completed their families. Remember, tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is a major surgical procedure that is often performed to correct many of the physical changes that are caused […]
Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) are two of the most popular surgical body contouring options available at our practice. These procedures can do for many individuals what even the most rigorous diet and exercise routines can’t. For instance: liposuction can reduce stubborn fat deposits that simply won’t go away no matter how hard you try, while tummy tuck surgery is designed to eliminate excess, inelastic skin in the abdominal area and give this region a firmer, flatter appearance. With that in mind, how do you know which of these options is more ideal for your specific needs?
Liposuction can […]
Many women who are considering breast augmentation also plan to someday have children (or have more children, if they’re already mothers). Naturally, they might be concerned about how this procedure will affect their ability to breastfeed. Choosing whether to breastfeed, bottle feed, or both is a personal decision that shouldn’t be affected by whether or not a woman has breast implants. And fortunately, implants typically do not diminish a woman’s ability to nurse her children. At our practice, our board-certified plastic surgeon utilizes the most advanced techniques available to maintain the highest standards of safety for all our patients.

The most common age range for getting breast augmentation is also the most common age range for having children (20s and 30s). As a result, it’s normal to wonder if pregnancy will affect the results of the procedure. Dr. Semira Bayati, our extensively trained plastic surgeon, explains that when patients ask, “Will pregnancy affect my breast implants?”, there are actually two things being asked. The first one is whether pregnancy will affect the actual implants. The second, implied, question is whether having a baby will change the appearance of the breasts after augmentation.
The answer to the first question is simple: […]
Enhancing your beauty and confidence shouldn’t have to come at a cost to your health. Breast augmentation with implants is designed to enhance the size, shape, and proportion of the breasts, but many women wonder if implants will interfere with breast cancer screenings. The good news is, mammograms can be performed effectively on women with implants. That said, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Semira Bayati, emphasizes that there are some things you need to know to make the examination as accurate as possible.
When you make an appointment for a mammogram, be sure and tell your scheduler that you have breast […]

While there is no way to predict what your scars will look like after breast reduction surgery with certainty, our board-certified plastic surgeon does utilize some of the latest techniques and technology available to minimize the appearance of scarring. Depending on your unique case, Dr. Semira Bayati can choose an incision placement to hide and conceal any post-operative scarring as much as possible. Short-scar techniques can sometimes be used for patients who are having smaller volumes of breast tissue removed. For patients who require the removal of more breast tissue, Dr. Bayati can still place incisions in locations that can […]
Breast reduction surgery can dramatically change the life of a woman who struggles with overly large breasts. When the breasts naturally develop to an excessive size, women often experience back, neck, and shoulder pain. In addition, physical exercise, wearing bras, and fitting into clothing can become difficult and uncomfortable. Since every breast reduction is custom-tailored to meet the needs of the individual patient, the cost of the surgery can vary. Some factors that go into determining the price of a breast reduction include:
The technique utilized – liposuction, tissue excision, breast lift, or a combination of techniques
Anesthesia costs
Operating facility costs
Experience of […]
Many of our patients who struggle with gynecomastia already maintain a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine. Just as the volume of breast tissue is not reduced when women exercise, men are no different. If gynecomastia conditions involve primarily an excess of fat in the breasts rather than glandular tissue, a good diet and exercise regimen may help to some degree; however, many patients find that it is difficult to achieve their goals with diet and exercise alone. In fact, for some individuals who are affected by excess glandular tissue in the breasts, exercise may even exacerbate the problem. […]
