There’s “active recovery” and then there’s surfing, skiing, swimming in the ocean a few days after surgery… and what about sex? Going to the gym? What are the acceptable levels of activity and risk in the days and weeks following surgery?

Don’t do something unnecessary to damage the investment you just made in yourself or worse, end up back in the operating room to fix something you could have prevented.

Drs. Kortesis and Bharti share what not to do if you want the best results possible out of your procedure, from the bedroom to the weight room.

For anyone considering surgery, Drs. Kortesis and Bharti discuss the nature of complications in plastic surgery and how they’re handled, from the doctor’s point of view and the patient’s.

Complications in plastic surgery include hematomas, seromas, necrosis, or blood clots. Both surgeons have been in practice long enough to know that it’s a matter of predicting them, preventing them, and doing things by checklist. For any procedure, the goal is to make sure the benefits are high and the risks are much lower.

When complications do happen, the H/K/B way to handle them is to take a team approach.

In both life and in the operating room, sometimes you have to take an alternate route to get to your destination. A good, caring, experienced surgeon knows how to handle complications that arise to reach the best possible outcome.

In the world of aesthetics, social media is a double-edged sword. Surgeons can use it to share patients’ results, but patients may be exposed to images or ideals from other sources that are not always achievable.

When people pose in particular ways and drastically edit their photos for social media, others may long to become something that’s not real or possible.

As trends come and go, many influencers and celebrities end up having reversal surgeries. But the more permanent the procedure, the more you need to be aware of the potential long-term issues.

Plastic surgeons Dr. Bill Kortesis and Dr. Gaurav Bharti uncomplicate the current rise in interest for procedures made popular by social media like buccal fat removal, breast shape, lip lift, the BBL, and more.
