1. How visible are the incision scars from common procedures such as liposuction, breast enhancement, or eye surgery?

Scars are sometimes hidden but often times, they are visible but very small. Each area that is treated will generally have one scar that usually not be very noticeable and most scars are very acceptable, even in those who tend to form large scars.

2. I have heard of an unsightly pucker left by many surgeons performing liposuction. Though the fat is removed what is left is an unsightly pucker where the other fat remains or builds up around it. How does LaPeer ensure that this does not happen?

At Beverly Hill Premiere Plastic Surgery, we do not perform aggressive liposuction surgery so these problems do not occur. We perform body sculpting and view plastic surgery as an art of shaping and contouring. We leave some fat behind to prevent the puckering affect.

3. Is there pain or discomfort during surgery? What is it like? Are there options that allow degrees of discomfort and consciousness?

If pain is anticipated you will be asleep under general anesthesia so there is no discomfort. If the treated area is very small lighter forms of anesthesia may be used. Your absolute comfort is out priority. After surgery you will usually be given an oral antibiotic and pain medication to ease any pain and reduce infection.

4. Liposuction generally promises permanent results as long as there is no weight gain. Does that include pregnancy?

It is always best to wait until you are done with having children. Most people gain weight after pregnancy and do not lose weight afterwards. Because of this you will see bulges in unusual areas of the body. Because the areas that were treated gain less rapidly than the untreated areas, you may not be happy with the new look if you gain weight.

5. Are the surgeons trained to accommodate specific body types and facial structures for diverse ethnicities with sensitivity to cultural norms? For example the shape of an African-American woman would differ from that of a Caucasian, and vice versa. The same goes for eye surgery and many other procedures.

Our surgeons are highly qualified and have performed procedures on several ethnicities. We are very familiar with multi-cultural features and are sensitive not to over westernize or produce overly European features. On the contrary, we recommend features that are compatible with your existing features.

6. Is surgery expensive and exclusive to the privileged and affluent?

Prices of surgery range depending on the surgeries complexity and the desired method. Some surgeries are very affordable and for any procedure financing is available, just ask about out financing programs. Some medical procedures are covered by your health insurance so be sure to inquire with your coverage plan first.
