Cosmetic Surgery FAQ's
The decision to have cosmetic surgery requires a lot of thought
and research. Below are a few of the most common questions we
run across when meeting with new patients. Feel free to call our
office for answers to any of your cosmetic surgery questions.
Has Dr. Rai done many procedures? Has he had great results?
Dr. Rai has performed over 10,000 cosmetic surgery procedures
to date. He is one of the most experienced surgeons in the area,
and his amazing results speak for themselves. When you come in
for you personal consultation, you'll have the opportunity to
see a variety of before-and-after pictures to view the results
of patients who've had the procedure you're interested in. Also,
you may have the chance to speak one-on-one with people who've
had Dr. Rai as their surgeon and ask them questions about their
experiences.
What are some of the advantages of endoscopic cosmetic surgery?
Dr. Rai specializes in endoscopic
cosmetic surgery because he believes that it offers his patients
exceptional results with minimal scarring and faster healing.
Endoscopic cosmetic surgery procedures include endoscopic
breast augmentation (TUBA), endoscopic
tummy tucks and endoscopic forehead lifts.
Which procedure is right for me?
Depending on your personal goals, Dr. Rai may recommend an entirely
different procedure or series of procedures than you had in mind.
Our philosophy at Cosmetic Surgical Center is to operate only
on the perfect candidates. If we don't think you'll have amazing
results, we don't do it. We'll recommend whatever course of action
will help you achieve your goals safely and effectively. After
meeting with Dr. Rai, he'll give you his professional opinion
on which procedure or procedures will work best for you.
Patient Testimonials!
What happens during the initial consultation?
During your first visit with us, Dr. Rai will meet with you to
discuss the details of your procedure and address your individual
needs. He will go over your health history, give you a thorough
examination, and discuss the benefits and risks of cosmetic surgery.
You will have the opportunity to view a collection of before-and-after
photographs of former patients
to see an approximation of your results.
Can I afford cosmetic surgery?
The cost of your cosmetic surgery procedure(s)
will depend on a number of factors including time in surgery,
difficulty of procedure, type of anesthesia used, and post operative
medications prescribed. Cosmetic Surgical Center accepts Visa,
MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. We work with a variety
of finance companies and may be able to arrange financing for
you based on your individual credit.
What are the risks involved with cosmetic surgery?
As with any type of invasive surgery, there are certain risks
involved. Dr. Rai and his staff take the necessary precautions
to ensure safe treatment for each patient. We arm you with complete
knowledge of your procedure, so you know exactly what to expect
throughout your cosmetic surgery experience. If we feel your outcomes
might be anything less than ideal, we will advise against surgery.
What is the average recovery time for cosmetic surgery?
Each procedure offered differs in average recovery time. More
invasive procedures may take anywhere from 1-2 weeks to heal,
whereas less invasive procedures may only take a few days to get
your body back to normal. Dr. Rai will address the specific recovery
expectations of your procedure during your first visit. Also,
factors such as your body type, age, and shape can play a large
part in how quickly you recover from surgery.
How long will the results of my procedure last?
Each procedure is designed to have a lasting permanent effect
on the chosen areas (excluding the naturally temporary procedures
such as BOTOX® Cosmetic injections). The procedures
cannot, however, prevent the implications of weight gain and aging.
Keep in mind that each cosmetic procedure is designed to keep
you looking your best, but you are required to do your part with
diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
Does Cosmetic Surgical Center have a proven track record of happy patients?
During Dr. Rai's 20+ years of experience, he has helped thousands

learn about their experiences firsthand.
