Why tummy tuck results change over time. Dr. Som explains that patients who gain weight after surgery often see their scars become more pronounced and lose that smooth contour they had right after the procedure. The key insight? Your lifestyle after surgery matters just as much as the surgery itself. Maintaining healthy eating and exercise habits protects your investment and keeps those results looking their best long-term.

Pain-free surgery recovery in 3 days. Dr. Som uses Exparel, a revolutionary long-lasting numbing medicine injected directly into the muscle that eliminates pain for 72 hours. Most Beverly Hills patients report taking zero pain medication during their recovery's toughest phase. By day four, they walk into follow-ups saying they experienced no discomfort at all.

Plastic surgery scars truth. Every patient in Beverly Hills asks Dr. Som about scarring after procedures. The reality? There are always scars - but skilled plastic surgeons use specialized closure techniques and strategic placement to make them nearly invisible. It's like a magic trick, hiding incisions in natural creases and inconspicuous areas. The difference is in the detail work and time taken during closure.

When should kids start sun protection. Most parents worry about skin cancer, but here's what they don't realize - that sunscreen you're putting on your 5-year-old isn't just preventing burns. Dr. Som explains how early sun protection is actually the foundation of lifelong skin health. Those harmful UV rays cause the facial aging, skin laxity, and texture changes we see decades later. Starting sun protection in childhood means preventing the damage that leads to premature aging and serious skin concerns down the road.

Hidden scars plastic surgery secret. Dr. Som reveals how Beverly Hills surgeons strategically place incisions so they're completely invisible under clothing. For tummy tucks, patients actually bring their favorite underwear or bikinis to ensure scars stay hidden underneath. Breast surgery incisions get tucked into natural folds. The goal? Unless you're completely undressed, no one can see any surgical evidence.

Why fat grafting fails without this step. Dr. Som explains how scar tissue from radiation creates barriers that prevent fat from integrating properly during breast reconstruction. The solution involves breaking up contracted tissue first with specialized instruments, then doing multiple rounds of careful fat placement. Too much at once creates oil cysts instead of living tissue.

Torn earlobes? Simple fix. Dr. Som in Beverly Hills explains the "pizza wedge" technique for earlobe reconstruction. Whether from gauges or heavy earrings, this quick procedure has the easiest recovery of any cosmetic surgery. Just a few days of mild soreness, and you're back to normal. The simplicity might surprise you.

Why most eye creams don't work. Dr. Som explains why his Beverly Hills practice created "Eye Candy" — a multi-action formula that actually delivers results. Instead of single-purpose products that disappoint, this combines collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and deep hydration in one powerhouse cream. The goal isn't more products in your routine, it's fewer products that actually work.

Dr. Som shares the simple routine that keeps his skin looking youthful - and it's not what most people expect. Beyond the basics like sunscreen and cleanser, he reveals the one product from his own line that works double duty for both eye area and around the mouth. It's refreshing to hear an expert actually use what they recommend to patients.

Vaginoplasty options explained. Many women don't realize there are both surgical and non-surgical approaches to address intimate concerns. From radio frequency treatments that stimulate collagen and improve blood flow, to reconstructive procedures for excess tissue - the variety of techniques available today can address both cosmetic and functional issues. The key is understanding which approach fits your specific situation and goals.

Sunscreen blocks vitamin D formation? Here's what most people don't understand about sun protection and vitamin health. Culver City patients often ask me about this common misconception during consultations. The truth is, sunscreen blocks harmful UV rays - not the beneficial processes your body needs for vitamin D production. You can absolutely protect your skin AND maintain healthy vitamin D levels at the same time. The sun provides essential benefits for mood stability and vitamin formation, which is why we're meant to be outside and active.

Timing your mommy makeover right. One of the most important questions I ask patients considering body contouring is whether they're planning more children. Many come in after their first baby ready for the full transformation - tummy tuck, breast work, liposuction. But timing matters more than you might think. Having additional pregnancies after these procedures can compromise your results and require revision surgeries. That's why we always discuss family planning as part of the consultation process.
