Questions and Answers
Q: Do breast implants interfere with mammography?
Yes. Breast implants, regardless of their location in the sub-muscular or sub-glandular location, can interfere with mammography. Mammography centers are well accustomed to performing mammograms on patients who have had breast implants by taking more views of the breasts. Breast implants do not cause breast cancer and patients with breast implants do not have delayed diagnosis because of the implants. Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound or MRI for further evaluation of your breast tissue. Dr. Ghaderi will discuss this important issue with you in detail at the time of your consultation.

Q: How does BOTOX® work? Is BOTOX® safe and effective?
BOTOX® is injected in small doses into different areas of the face to cause the overactive wrinkle-forming muscle tissues to relax. BOTOX® procedures are safe, fast, and effective. Pain and discomfort are minimal. There is little to no recovery time and patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Results begin to appear within days after the injections. BOTOX® treatments may last up to four months. It is recommended that repeat injections be administered every three to four months to maintain a smooth, youthful appearance.

Q: Will my breast augmentation change after pregnancy? Should I wait until after I am done having kids?
The number of pregnancies and the decision to breast-feed may impact the results of breast augmentation. The timing of surgery as it relates to pregnancy and breast-feeding should be discussed with Dr. Ghaderi. Many patients have the procedure before having children. Having breast implants will not affect your ability to become pregnant or deliver a baby. Many women with breast implants successfully breast-feed. The underlying breast implant does not harm the breast-fed baby in any way.

Q: How long after a stomach surgery do I need to wait before having a tummy tuck?
The reason for waiting after your surgery is to not only allow your surgical area to heal but also for your body to recover from the stress of the first surgery before undergoing another one. Typically, 6 months to 1 year is the time period for adequate healing to take place. Since a tummy tuck is an elective procedure, you can discuss with Dr. Ghaderi what the ideal timing is for you after a comprehensive consultation and examination.

Q: Does liposuction leave scars?
Incisions made during liposuction are very small and put in areas that are inconspicuous. Most scars resulting from liposuction will heal well and it will be difficult to see where they were originally made.

Q: Will I have a scar after plastic surgery?
Scarring is an inevitable part of healing and is the result of our body’s natural response to repair an injury. However, a very fine lined scar placed in the correct orientation may be virtually invisible. A plastic surgeon spends years trying to master techniques to place scars in the most desirable location. Dr. Ghaderi will try to make incisions in areas that will not show, like under undergarments or along natural creases. Scars will normally fade over time. The final cosmetic appearance of a surgical scar is based on multiple factors such as age, skin type, anatomic location, smoking and most importantly – our genetic makeup.

Q: How soon after having plastic surgery can I fly?
Flying immediately before or after having a procedure is not recommended due to increased risk of blood clots in your leg. Typically you should not fly the day before and wait about 10-14 days after surgery to fly. You should take the necessary precautions, such as getting up to walk around during the flight, and wearing compression stockings. More specifically, the risk factors depend on your own medical history, the type of anesthesia used, and the length of your procedure. In addition, you need to be in town for regular follow-up care required immediately after your surgery. Always discuss your travel plans with Dr. Ghaderi.

Q: What happens at a consultation visit?
During your consultation Dr. Ghaderi will take the time to discuss your expectations as well as any concerns you may have. Choosing to undergo plastic surgery is an incredibly personal decision, and every procedure must be tailored to meet the needs and desires of the individual patient. Dr. Ghaderi will review your medical history, current health status, and make an assessment on whether the procedure is right for you. Dr. Ghaderi will discuss the results that can be achieved, the limitations of the procedure, and any options which may be available. At the conclusion of your first visit, a second appointment will be recommended. This will give you time to consider all that you have learned during the initial consultation and allow you to think of other questions and concerns to discuss with Dr. Ghaderi. You will also be encouraged to bring a significant other or any individual who will be supporting you through the surgical process.
