HRT helps maintain bone & muscle health, supports skin elasticity, and can reduce facial wrinkles . It also lowers osteoporosis risk and related mortality in postmenopausal women.

Not everyone is a candidate — women with certain cancers, cardiovascular issues, or blood clot history should consult their doctor. Transdermal estrogen generally has fewer side effects than oral forms.

Dr. Katsaros carefully reviews pre- and post-operative steps with every patient to ensure comfort and safety. Patients are reminded not to eat or drink after midnight before surgery and to bring their prescribed medications for review. Pre-op treatments help with relaxation and nausea control, while intraoperatively, Dr. Katsaros uses Exparel, which reduces pain by 80–90% for up to 7–10 days. Most patients report only mild discomfort and require little additional medication.

After surgery, patients receive guidance on recovery, including when to take certain medications, how to safely progress their diet, and ultimately transition to a low-sodium Mediterranean diet to support healing.

The patient shown here was 330 pounds before her tummy tuck. She was not able to lose wight with prescription medication. She was referred for gastric bypass surgery, but that would only delay a needed tummy tuck for 2 years. Instead we opted for large volume abdominoplasty and 3-zone liposuction. The use of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) reduces blood loss by over 70%, and allows for large volume tissue removal in one sitting. Intraoperative exparel allows for pain free recovery for at least 7 days after surgery. The use of TXA and exparel allowed this patient to go home the same day as surgery.

Breast Augmentation: Above vs Below Muscle, What is Best?

For the full video, watch here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8GhFNdWJGE

Dr. Katsaros explains breast augmentation from a surgeon’s perspective, including above vs below muscle placement and how it affects results and recovery. We also demonstrate the trans-umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), where a saline implant is inserted through the belly button. This technique leaves no scars around the breast, giving a natural, cosmetic result.

Here we talk about optimizing the base tummy tuck and J-plasma for superior results and comfort. For the best tummy tuck results we recommend adding 3 zone liposuction of the upper abdomen, flanks and love handles so as to get an hourglass shape.
We recommend the use of Exparel which reduces postoperative pain by 80-90%.
We also routinely used tranexamic acid or TXA, which reduces intraoperative blood loss by over 80%.
We also discuss Renuvion's J-plasma as an abdominoplasty alternative or as an add on for body sculpting.
J-plasma is the best, non-surgical, minimally invasive, alternative to surgery. Recovery from J-plasma is in one day. Results similar to abdominoplasty can be had with J-plasma in selected patients. However as good as J-plasma is, it can not tighten loose abdominal muscles, repair abdominal hernias, or remove strech marks or abdominal scars.
Abdominoplasty and J-plasma of the abdomen are not mutually exclusive. They can be used together for optimal results.
✅ 3-Zone Liposuction – upper abdomen, flanks & love handles for that hourglass shape
✅ Exparel® – reduces post-op pain by 80–90%
✅ Tranexamic Acid (TXA) – cuts blood loss by 80%+
✅ Renuvion® J-Plasma – a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for skin tightening & body sculpting
⚠️ Only a tummy tuck can tighten loose muscles, repair hernias, or remove stretch marks & scars.
✨ Best Results? Combine J-Plasma with a tummy tuck for the ultimate transformation!
