Candidates For Cosmetic Surgery

Considering cosmetic surgery

If you're considering cosmetic surgery, it is important to consult with an experienced, qualified and board-certified plastic surgeon to learn more about the risks and rewards of cosmetic surgery, as well as to understand what can and cannot be achieved in your individual case.

Cosmetic surgery is often appropriate only for adult men and women who have completely finished developing. You must be a non-smoker or quit smoking to safely undergo cosmetic procedures, and a physical and mental health evaluation may be required to ensure you are healthy enough to handle surgery and the rigors of the recovery process.

Types of Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic procedures offered at Tyler Plastic Surgery

Tyler Plastic Surgery offers patients a complete range of both cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures, as well as a number of non-surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures.

All types of breast surgery are available to patients wishing to change their bustline, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast implant exchange and breast implant removal. Breast reduction for women and male breast reduction are both also available.

For patients wishing to improve body contours, we often recommend liposuction, where as patients who are looking for skin tightening may seek tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift or buttock lift surgery. We also offer a special package for patients who desire body contouring after major weight loss.

To reduce the signs of facial aging, a facelift, forehead lift or blepharoplasty may be recommended. Ear surgery, including earlobe repair and ear pinning are also available.

Finally, labialplasty or vaginal rejuvenation surgery is also offered at Tyler Plastic Surgery to women who wish to enhance or repair their most intimate area.

Cosmetic Surgery Risks

Possible cosmetic surgery complications and side effects

All surgical procedures carry some risk, and cosmetic surgery is no exception. That is why before any cosmetic surgery procedure, Dr. Motlagh will review all risks, side effects and complications that can potentially occur with your cosmetic surgery procedure.

Problems like infection, blood clots, poor wound healing and scarring, seroma (fluid collection) and hematoma (bleeding) only occur in a small percentage of cosmetic surgery patients, but their occurrence is difficult to predict.

Cosmetic Surgery Recovery

Healing and downtime after cosmetic procedures

After most cosmetic surgery procedures, 1-2 weeks of downtime and several weeks or months of healing are needed to achieve complete recovery and see final results. Patients must be committed to following pre- and post-operative care instructions and keeping all follow-up appointments in order to ensure the best cosmetic results are achieved.

Dr. Motlagh meets periodically with cosmetic surgery patients during their recovery period at Tyler Plastic Surgery in Tyler, Texas. Cosmetic surgery patients from the Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano, Texas area, as well as Shreveport, Louisiana, also visit Tyler Plastic Surgery and find Dr. Motlagh's care worth the short drive.
