He is a good doctor overall. Not a talker. You need to ask ask ask. The assistants are bad at answering calls. I know they’re busy but even returning calls. I ended up not making a surgery deposit because of this. Now I’m waiting. I did a rhinoplasty so far 6 weeks 2 days it lookes uneven. Scars are very visible one nostril bigger than the other. I will wait to see him in a few weeks.
Excellent as always. He has done all my breast reconstruction as well as hand surgeries. I have been seeing Dr Rodrigues since August 2008. He is a very caring physician and takes the time to discuss your concerns and options.
I was very impressed with Dr. Rodrigues professional manner. His staff is very pleasant and took care of me as well. I had very little wait time. He took care of my cyst and answered all my questions. I felt well taken care of. I would highly recommend Dr. Rodrigues!
Very good experience. I had an In office procedure and everything went smoothly and pretty much pain free! Dr. Rodrigues is an excellent doctor and take every good care of you! He listens to what you want, and also gives suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone.
After fluctuating weight as an adolescent and having two children my abdomen needed some help. I had the infamous mommy pooch as well as some excess weight and skin on my abdomen and love handles. Knowing that I was done having children, I decided it was time to do something for myself. I decided to have an abdominoplasty with liposuction to get rid of my sagging abdominal skin and shape my abdomen. I has surgery just after Christmas and could not be happier. Not only did I love Dr. Rodrigues as a surgeon, he did an amazing job! He not only made my abdomen look amazing, but I have gained a ton of self confidence in the process. I felt well informed about the procedure I was preparing for and his staff was great in helping me along the way and answering my questions. I would recommend Dr. Rodrigues and his office to anyone!
He spent time and listened to my concerns. He sent me in for testing on my hand and did an aspiration of a cyst. Informed me I may need to get cyst removed because cyst was too hard to aspirate. Will refer to other people.
The experience was great, Doctor Robert Rodriguez has a lot of experience and it shows from his consultation he gives you real expectations and the results are great! He is always there to answer any questions and his stuff is also very friendly and helpful
I flew in the day of my appointment and my flight was delayed by 40 minutes, it didn’t seem to phase Dr. Rodrigues. He made me feel super comfortable and did a fantastic job! I will definitely be coming back for other procedures I choose.
Already I feel so much better, my neck and between my shoulders are no longer in pain. I'm still a bit swollen so I'm wearing a loose band of 34. I was back to college and work at 11 days, and had no problems in recovery. Sensation on the outside of the breasts and under my arms is quite weird as it is coming back, but not usually painful. Nipples are fine and have sensation. Definitely the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. Glad I didn't wait to do it.
Super !!! His so nice . His not a talker but his a great surgen and if I had to have something else done he will bee my choice. I love my results
There is some variation amongst plastic surgeons regarding abdominoplasty techniques- incision placement, muscle plication and concurrent liposuction. During a consultation it is important to see before and after pictures. Ask your prospective surgeon if he offers a lipoabdominoplasty. Some surgeons will add some liposuction to the flanks removing only a small volume. Other surgeons including myself routinely offer lipoabdominoplasty. With full abdominal and flank liposuction, muscle plication and skin excision your result would be very nice.
ALCL is extremely rare. Breast Augmentation is one of the most performed cosmetic surgeries in the US. All surgeries have risk including fat transfer to the breasts. If you desire greater than 1 cup increase in volume then I would recommend implant augmentation.
Bodytite is bipolar radiofrequency focusing primarily on the subcutaneous tissue layer. Therefore, the only topical treatment necessary is medicated ointment at the small incisions. You may apply a general moisturizer to the skin for general skincare.
Based on your photos, I feel that you have enough redundant skin to warrant a full Abdominoplasty. I believe it would be rare to not have diastasis after two pregnancies. If there is diastasis, I would recommend diastasis repair to provide a better result post-operatively. Best of Luck!
This incision was closed with an absorbable suture under the surface of the skin and weaves back and forth across the incision as a running stitch. The suture is tied with a knot at each end of the incision. With this type of suturing the incision will be raised and gathered or puckered until the sutures completely dissolve about 6-8 weeks following the procedure depending on the type of suture used. Different sutures have different dissolving rates. After the sutures dissolve, the incision will lay flat with time and should heal with a thin scar. It is not abnormal to have the incisions and sutures look different from one side to the other while you are healing. You are currently two weeks post-op, scar maturation is not complete for up to one year following surgery. Best of luck!
