I often tell my patients that being a plastic surgery patient after massive weight loss is like being a medical resident. Are you wondering how?
When I went to medical school, I naively thought that I would be a doctor when I graduate in four years. That was somewhat true. In order to really be a doctor and treat people the way I wanted to though, it took an extra nine years to complete two residency programs and two fellowships!

A lot of patients wonder what the difference is between microdermabrasion and dermabrasion. The answer is the depth of the treatment and the amount of recovery involved. Another difference between dermabrasion and microdermabrasion is who can perform the treatment.
Microdermabrasion is typically performed in a medical spa setting by a trained aesthetician.

Dr. Bitar has been doing breast augmentations in private practice at the Bitar Institute for 22 years and has never used any textured implants. Furthermore, after thousands of breast implant surgeries, he has had zero cases of BIA- ALCL.
You may have heard recent media reports regarding breast implants and an uncommon form of cancer – breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a form of T-cell lymphoma.

In May 2005, sitting in a conference room of plastic surgeons in Charleston, South Carolina, gathered at the table, each with just a legal pad and a pen, and a moderator who said little more than “discuss”. All the participants had been invited to this meeting by Ethicon, the nation’s leading manufacturer of suture material. They had noticed that in select practices across the country suture utilization had accelerated. The reason? As it turns out, it was post weight loss body contouring.
In 2005, bariatric surgery was just gaining popularity. It was still early, and many bypass procedures were still being […]

It is no secret that the popularity of aesthetic surgery for men is on the rise. American society tends to accept women having plastic surgery more than men, but that view is changing.
Procedures for men increased nearly 20-fold from 1992 to 2004.
Men’s reasons for having aesthetic surgery are as varied as women’s: improving self-esteem, becoming more attractive to the opposite sex, looking less “tired,” or sometimes— quite plainly—jealousy of a partner who has had successful plastic surgery.
The advent of lasers, injectables, and less-invasive procedures in the 1990s has given men the green light to have aesthetic enhancement without having to […]
Photoaging refers to the damage that is done to the skin from prolonged exposure over a person’s lifetime to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

“Tummy tuck” is the common term used to refer to the surgical procedure known as an abdominoplasty. The procedure can be a very effective method to restore a smooth, flat tummy in patients whose fit appearance has been altered by pregnancy, weight change, or age. The success of the procedure is due to its comprehensive nature, as changes to all of the tissue layers are addressed: muscles are tightened, abdominal fat is removed, and skin is excised and redraped. Results can be further enhanced by sculpting the torso with liposuction, or adding complementary procedures such as breast surgery.
