Dr. ROYA E. DARDASHTI, MD's Expert Contributions
What are the negative effects of plastic surgery?
Hello. This is a very broad question. I personally do not think there are any, except if one becomes obsessed with it. The saying Less Is More is very appropriate for cosmetic surgery. No one should over for it and look fake! READ MORE
Do you typically look better after plastic surgery?
Hello, The whole point of cosmetic and plastic surgery is to make the patient look and more importantly feel better about themselves. Otherwise, what’s the point? However, you need to feel comfortable with your surgeon and trust him/her fully. You also have to follow all instructions for best results. Good luck!!!! You can also visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information. READ MORE
How long is a tummy tuck surgery?
Hello. The duration of a tummy tuck varies from patient to patient. Your height, weight, the amount of excess skin, fat, and loose muscles also dictate the time. It can be anywhere from 3-5 hours. You can go on my website at DrRoya.com for further information. READ MORE
Breast augmentation infection?
Hello. It’s very unlikely that this is an infection. Most likely it’s residual blood that is draining out. You should see your surgeon, however, to check it further. READ MORE
How long does pain from rhinoplasty last?
Hello. Rhinoplasty has very little pain, even with the fracture or breaking of the bones. If there is pain, it will last less than 5 days. READ MORE
How much can they remove with liposuction?
Hello. It depends on where you live, your age, your health and your body mass index. In Los Angeles, we are not allowed to aspirate or suction out more than five and a half liters. READ MORE
What is the best surgery for belly fat?
Hello. It depends if you have any lax or sagging skin as well. If you do not, liposuction is the answer. If you do have excess skin you may need BodyTite as well. If you have excess skin, loose muscles and excess fat, you may need a tummy tuck. READ MORE
What happens if you don't wear compression garments after lipo?
Hello, compression garments help the loose skin following liposuction, reframe properly unto your muscles. In addition, it is very uncomfortable to have liposuction and not wear a garment post operative it. It literally feels like your skin is being pulled off, extremely weird feeling. READ MORE
How do I take care of my nose after a rhinoplasty?
Hello, just wear sunblock so you don’t get a rash, since the skin is sensitive for several months. As well, don’t play any sports or aggravating exercises for three months. READ MORE
What holds breast implants in place?
Hello, majority of surgeons place the implants under the chest muscles “pecs”. The muscle and the skin hold it in place until the patient’s own body develops scar tissue “a capsule” around the implant within a month of the surgery. The capsule becomes the final pocket holding the implant in place. READ MORE
Can you make your jawline more defined?
Hello, yes of course. There are a few methods including liposuction, and non invasive procedures. The latest is called FaceTite. You can go on my website site and check it out, DrRoya.com. It’s a minimally invasive laser that tightens, the jaw line. READ MORE
What is a non-surgical eyebrow lift?
Hello. Botox injections done in a proper way, by an experienced surgeon can raise the eye brows. There is also threading, which I personally do not like and fo not recommend. There are too many asymmetries. Both threading and Botox are temporary. Botox needs to be performed every 6 months. Threading lasts an average of 9 months. You can go on my website at DrRoya.com for further information. READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from ear reduction surgery?
Hello, usually there is minimal pain with otoplasty. There is a head strap that remains on for one week, and then at night for two more weeks. READ MORE
How do you lose back and arm fat?

Which is better for your face Kybella or CoolSculpting?
Hello, For face, none of these should be used. They are too unpredictable and may destroy your face in the long term, making it uneven. There are other procedures that are much safer and more predictable. You can visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information. READ MORE
Are all elective procedures canceled due to the coronavirus?
No. We are currently open. READ MORE
How long does Botox last?
