As long as your in an accredited training program, such as USC, UCLA, you will be in good hands. These are wonderful training programs with the highest standards. There affiliated Hospitals are also staffed by these residents. Commonly, the prices are cheaper at these institutions.
All surgeons begin as trainees, under the guidance of other fully trained surgeons who ensure that the patients are properly selected and that the procedures are carried out properly. Though no one can guarantee you a great result, fully accredited plastic surgery training programs do an incredible job of offering the patient a nice result at an extremely affordable price.
Thank you for your question. If you are having your surgery done with a residency program, there is always a supervising surgeon in the OR with him, but I would discuss your concerns with him directly. For financing, every location has different options for financing the operation so speak directly with the center about what options they offer.
Thank you for the question and if the proposed operation is at a residency program you are probably in very good hands as the residents are supervised. As to financing there are several options that need to be discussed with your surgeon.Dr. Corbin
You deserve to have a great tummy tuck performed by a tummy tuck expert. Many providers provide 0% interest, 0% financing for your surgical needs.
While I agree with most of the responses below I must add a caveat. Make sure the trainee is being supervised in an approved plastic surgical training program. There are programs out there ion which the "trainee" is supervised by a general surgeon, by an oral surgeon, etc. The best way is to go to about finding if the program is approved is to contact the American Society of Plastic Surgery Best of luck
I'm sure that's safe as all resident surgery is supervised by well trained surgeons. Financing is a different issue. there are several companies that finance cosmetic surgery bu you have to have pretty good credit as it is a loan just like a loan for any other purpose. If you have bad credit, then you will need to get that corrected before anyone will give you financing.
I see no reason why you could not have a tummy tuck after breast reduction surgery. I often do both surgeries at the same time. As long as your recovery has been uneventful and you have some help at home it should be okay. Recovery after tummy tuck is much harder than breast reduction.
Hello, Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss. While a tummy tuck should be a permanent surgery, you results can be negated if you become pregnant. For this reason, women should wait until they are finished having children before having this procedure. All the best.
Thank you for sharing your photograph and question and I am sorry to hear of your recovery difficulties. Because the areas of greatest redness are where adhesives, bandages, or ointments were likely placed after surgery, this appears to be an allergic reaction. Gentle washing of the area,...
Unfortunately it is difficult to give you a good answer without being able to examine you. 9 months should be enough time for the body to heal. I would advise that you make an appointment with your plastic surgeon so he can examine you and maybe better determine what is going on. Some patients...
At any point with a seroma, I recommend drain reinsertion. If you had "drainless" tummy tuck then have your surgeon insert a drain as this is not uncommon if the quilting sutures are not spaced correctly. Bottom line though reinsert drain if seromas recur and keep compression on areas of lip...
Most of the time during a tummy tuck sutures are placed to tighten the muscles. If so, it is possible one of the sutures came loose and that part of your abdomen is not as tight as the area below and a revision may be needed. Liposuction to the area may be another option to minimize the bu...
