"A good doctor encourages personal communication with the patient from the initial consultation to the last post-operative visit.
To help establish a relationship of trust and confidence, I provide complimentary, private consultations. I endeavor to know my patients well, to listen to them and to understand their goals and desires."
Dr Rosso, I wanted to thank you for the new "me" I see in the mirror.
You did a great job and I love the way I look. You made the whole experience a pleasure.
Sincerely,
D.S.

What happens if I gain weight after liposuction?
Since liposuction surgery permanently removes fat from a specific location, weight gain will shift to another target area. The new target area of weight gain may be desirable or undesirable. Therefore, maintaining or losing weight after liposuction is imperative. It is important to know that weight loss/gain is a factor, but changes in percent body fat are also important. Liposuction is a body sculpting technique and is used for contouring not weight loss. Liposuction should compliment a proper diet and exercise.
What happens to the skin after liposuction?
Since liposuction will not tighten skin or develop muscle, the result will depend on the skin's elasticity to regain its usual shape. For patients with loss of skin elasticity due to fluctuations in weight, sun damage, and pregnancies, liposuction may not be an option. Other techniques, such as abdominoplasty and lifts may be better options.
Will I lose weight from liposuction?
Weight loss from liposuction is minimal. Most patients will notice an improved body contour and loss of inches rather than pounds. Patients can expect an improvement in body shape, and will probably fit in their current dress size more comfortably or even drop one size or two. As would be expected, liposuction does not improve the cardiovascular status of the patient. Exercise and diet is recommended.
If I am obese can I still have abdominoplasty?
The decision to perform abdominoplasty
on an obese patient is a judgment call by the surgeon.
Remember, liposuction and abdominoplasty cannot reduce
fat in and around abdominal organs. There is a procedure
used for morbidly obese patients with excessive fat
and skin. This procedure is called a Panniculectomy.
This is usually done to treat severe cases where hanging
skin causes rashes, irritation, and personal hygiene
problems.
Do breast implants cause autoimmune or collagen vascular disease?
There is no clinically proven increased incidence of auto immune or collagen vascular disease in implanted women. The development of such diseases is independent of breast implants.
Is post operative care included?
All of your post operative care is included in the surgery fee and will be personally performed by Doctor Rosso.
How do you decide which surgery to do?
At your private consultation with Dr. Rosso, you will be asked to describe the changes you hope to accomplish and why they are of concern. Then an examination of the areas that would be affected is performed. After the examination Dr. Rosso will suggest one, or a combination of procedures which will accomplish your goals. The benefits, limitations, and risks of each procedure will be explained. Dr. Rosso will give you advice based on his training and experience, but it will be up to you to decide which procedures you would like performed.

procedure and may be done at one of the following locations:
