- Medical Weight LossMore than a decade ago, The National Institutes of Health, better known as NIH, reported that individuals affected by severe obesity are resistant to maintaining weight loss achieved by conventional therapies, such as consuming fewer calories, increasing exercise, commercial weight-loss programs, etc.). The NIH recognized bariatric weight-loss surgery as the only effective treatment to combat severe obesity and maintain weight loss in the long term.
- Emergency Care
- Urinary IncontinenceTo treat overactive bladder symptoms such as a strong need to urinate with leaking or wetting accidents (urge urinary incontinence), a strong need to urinate right away (urgency), and urinating often (frequency) in adults when another type of medicine (anticholinergic) does not work well enough or cannot be taken.
- Diarrhea
- PneumoniaIf the musculature of the oropharynx and esophagus are affected, aspiration may occur which may lead to development of aspiration pneumonia. If the respiratory muscles become paralyzed or sufficiently weakened, intubation and assisted respiration may be necessary until recovery takes place. Supportive care could involve the need for a tracheostomy and/or prolonged mechanical ventilation, in addition to other general supportive care.
- OphthalmologyIt is extremely critical that a surgeon that operates in the lower lids must have an ophthalmology background as the lower lids are known to re-bleed and cause blood to pool at the back of the eye causing blindness. Therefore, patients must choose a surgeon carefully and ask the question, " Dr. if there is a complication with the surgery, and there is a blood in the back of my eyes, who would fix it." Most surgeons cannot handle this type of emergencies.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryMost adults are good candidates for the vein treatments. For example, vein treatments are not performed on pregnant women. The reason being that some spider veins and varicose veins may resolve spontaneously within a year of childbirth. Adults with clotting issues or who are taking blood thinners or certain other medications may also not be good candidates for vein treatments. We perform a comprehensive medical history and consultation to ensure patients receive the safest, most effective care.

- UltrasoundNo special diagnostic testing is typically necessary to identify spider veins. A physical examination and observation of the skin usually leads to an accurate diagnosis. However, diagnostic ultrasound may be recommended if a more extensive condition is suspected.
- MammographyComplications (Possible): Possible complications of this procedure include lack of implant permanence, deflation, bleeding, infection, and formation of scar tissue around the implant (this is called capsular contracture and causes the breast to feel tight and hard). Some patients may also experience increased or decreased sensitivity of nipples or breast skin which is occasionally permanent. Mammography requires a special technique.
- Hysterectomy
- Hip ReplacementThe mortality rate for bariatric Weight loss surgery (3 out of 1000) is similar to that of a gallbladder removal and considerably less than that of a hip replacement. The exceptionally low mortality rate with bariatric Weight loss surgery is quite remarkable considering that most patients affected by severe obesity are in poor health and have one or more life-threatening diseases at the time of their surgery. Therefore, as regards mortality, the benefits of surgery far exceed the risks. Medical liposuction has the lowest mortality rate.
- LaparoscopyBariatric weight loss surgery may be performed through "open" approaches, which involve cutting the stomach in the standard manner, or by laparoscopy. With the latter approach, surgeons insert complex instruments through 1/2-inch cuts and guide a small camera that sends images to a monitor. Most bariatric weight loss surgery today is laparoscopic because it requires a smaller cut, creates less tissue damage, leads to earlier hospital discharges, and has fewer problems, especially hernias occurring after surgery.
- BotoxDysport Washington DC is a highly anticipated and newly FDA-approved alternative to Botox. This inject able treatment for wrinkles is made from the same neurotoxin (botulinum toxin type A) as Botox. Dysport in DC received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a wrinkle treatment in the spring of 2009, and although (like Botox) it was originally developed in Europe in the 1990s to treat neuromuscular disorders, it has been used for smoothing out wrinkles in many countries for several years. Like Botox, Dysport works by treating specific, "wrinkle-causing" facial muscles in order to eliminate the "dynamic wrinkles" caused by the action of these muscles. In the proper hands Dysport can provide a very natural appearing and dramatic improvement in your appearance. Dysport treatments are performed in the comfort of our office. There is no down time with this procedure, and you can return to your regular daily activities immediately.

Our Washington DC dysport center also uses Dysport for the treatment of "Gummy Smile" and bunny lines, and to create a brow lift or mouth lift (which is the lifting of the sides of the mouth).

- Breast Reduction45. Is Liposuction Covered by Health Insurance? Usually liposuction is not covered by health insurance. Because liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure it is not covered by medical insurance unless it has some therapeutic benefit. Female breast reduction surgery is often covered by insurance because surgical breast reduction often relieves chronic pain of the back and shoulders. When female breast reduction is accomplished by tumescent liposuction, insurance may reimburse the patient a portion of the liposuction surgical fees. Similarly, sometimes health insurance will cover liposuction for the treatment of subcutaneous lipomas (small fatty tumors just beneath the skin).
- Breast LiftOperation: This procedure raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples.
- Plastic Surgery
- Face LiftIf the patient is having either the lower eyelid surgery or the upper and lower eyelid surgery, my preference is IV sedation anesthesia.

- BlepharoplastyThe ideal patient for an upper eyelid Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgeryin Washington dc surgical clinicis a woman or man that has begun to show the signs of upper eyelid aging. Typically, the excess upper eyelid skin hangs or “hoods” over the eyelid.
- Abdominoplasty7. What is tummy tuck? Tummy tuck is the name given to the operation in which the skin-including the subcutaneous fat is removed and skin is sutured-also called abdominoplasty, it is a major surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia, and involves liposuction and excision to remove fat, plus a large excision of skin. The typical result is usually a flatter tummy with a large scar extending from the pubic area to the lower abdomen to anterior hips.

- Lip AugmentationWe have performed several thousands of lip augmentations in DC area with no complications. We can increase your lip size, lip augmentation, by 25% -300%. We recommend that patients start lip augmentation gradually e.g. start with 1 cc of restylane or juvederm or hyaluronic acids. This will increase the lips by 30-50% which is a very natural look. Patients requesting lip augmentation come from all age groups. As we get older the lips age with the rest of the face resulting in atrophy of the lips; the lips thin out, tiny vertical lines appear, the graceful cupid's bow of the upper lip begin to flatten, and the upper lip lengthens and hangs over the teeth. Others may have been born with thinner lips, and simply want a more defined cupid's bow and greater lip volume to balance the other features of their face. Lip Augmentation with the natural fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
- Laparoscopic SurgeryBariatric weight loss surgical procedures cause weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption. Bariatric weight loss procedures also often cause hormonal changes. Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery).
- Body Contouring51. Will The Skin Tighten Up After Liposuction? While liposuction can do a lot to sculpt the body, one thing it cannot do is tighten the skin 100%. This is an important aspect of body contouring because, without adequate consideration and planning, a person's skin may look loose and saggy after their liposuction procedure unless the patient works out and tones very well. No surgeon can creat six pack, wash board abs or make you look like a supermodel.
