PRÁCTICA, SEGURIDAD Y SERVICIOS DE CIRUGÍA PLÁSTICA ESTÉTICA
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits to contour specific areas of the body. Ideal candidates are individuals close to their ideal weight with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells, allowing for more precise fat removal and potentially smoother results compared to traditional methods.
VASER lipo offers greater precision, less trauma to surrounding tissues, smoother results, and enhanced skin retraction compared to traditional liposuction.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles, resulting in a flatter and firmer abdominal profile.
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures tailored to address post-pregnancy body changes. It often includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction.
A BBL involves liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks to enhance their shape and size.
A mommy makeover typically includes a combination of breast surgery (lift or augmentation), tummy tuck, and liposuction, customized to individual goals.
Facial Procedures
Procedures include facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lifts, chin augmentation, and non-surgical options like dermal fillers and skin tightening treatments.
A facelift surgically removes excess facial skin and tightens underlying tissues to reduce sagging and provide a more youthful appearance.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and proportion, which can enhance overall facial harmony.
During this first meeting, which is always conducted in a comfortable and private setting, you are encouraged to ask plenty of questions, especially any that are of particular concern to you. Dr. Moein’s goal is to help you relax as you learn more about bariatrics and post-bariatric body contouring.
Dr. Moein will also listen to your concerns and feedback before relaying the risks and benefits involved. You will learn where the surgery will take place, what to expect during the procedure and while in recovery, and all other aspects of the procedure.
By the time you leave, you will have a full understanding of the procedure and if you are a good candidate. If Dr. Moein decides that you are a good candidate for surgery, you can be scheduled on the spot. Call now to book your initial consultation with Dr. Moein.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids to rejuvenate the eye area.
Yes, options like dermal fillers, Botox, and laser treatments are available to address wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture without surgery.
Breast Procedures
Options include saline or silicone implants and fat transfer techniques. The choice depends on individual goals and anatomy, which will be discussed during the consultation.
Yes, combining a breast lift with augmentation can enhance both the size and position of the breasts, providing a more youthful appearance.
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and alleviate discomfort.
Capsular contracture is a complication where scar tissue forms tightly around a breast implant. Treatment may involve surgical removal of the scar tissue and possibly replacing the implant.
Natural breast augmentation uses fat transfer techniques, where fat is harvested from another part of your body and injected into the breasts to enhance their size and shape.
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and inserted empty, while silicone implants come pre-filled and may offer a more natural feel.
Weight Loss Procedures
Procedures include the Orbera® gastric balloon and laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery, both designed to assist with significant weight loss.
The Orbera® gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure where a balloon is placed in the stomach to promote a feeling of fullness, aiding in portion control.
This surgical procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach to reduce its size, leading to decreased food intake and weight loss.
Post-bariatric body contouring addresses excess skin and reshapes the body following significant weight loss from bariatric surgery.
Cost and Insurance Information
Dr. Moein can assess your medical history and current health during an initial consultation. Only after Dr. Moein has examined you can he determine the bariatric and plastic surgeries that may be best for you and all associated fees. During the consultation, you can also ask about insurance and other financial concerns. This is the best way to get an exact dollar amount for the procedure(s) you have in mind.
Whether you will be charged a consultation depends on the procedure you have in mind. For medical procedures, such as weight loss surgery, a consultation fee will be charged to your insurance. If you are a cash-paying patient, we will often add the consultation fee to your overall procedure fee unless a promotional discount is applied. Please understand we reserve the right to change our prices without prior posted notice. But we will notify you regarding your fee before your consultation. There are no surprises.
Cosmetic surgery patients are not charged a consultation fee unless the consult includes functional issues or is greater than 20 min. There is a $50 no-show fee that will be charged if you do not arrive by the pre-scheduled appointment time. If you are going to cancel your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to avoid the no-show fee. At the time of your consultation, you will need to place a copy of your credit card to book a consultation. We value your time and provide you with a consultation and expect our patients to value our time.

Cosmetic surgery is considered an elective by insurance companies, which means that providers are hesitant to cover any procedures designed to merely enhance your appearance.
Plastic surgeries are reconstructive in nature and are viewed differently by insurers. Examples of plastic surgeries that are often covered by insurance include breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, breast augmentation to make lopsided breasts become more symmetrical, and revising previous breast reconstructions.
Other procedures covered by insurance can include breast reductions to alleviate discomfort, male breast reduction, panniculectomy (the removal of excess fat and skin after significant weight loss), and the tummy tuck.
Whether insurance will cover your procedure depends on your insurance provider and the surgery in question. Ask Dr. Moein about the costs associated with surgery and whether insurance will pick up the tab during your initial consultation. Schedule today to learn more.
