FAQ

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions patients have about plastic surgury issues. If you have any other questions, or would like to schedule an appointment, we would love to hear from you.

Click on a question below to see the answer.
[accordion_shortcode class=”myClass” title=””]

[accordion_content title=” Is plastic surgery safe?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]All surgical procedures are accompanied by a certain degree of risk, whether the procedures are for medical or cosmetic reasons. Our expert team is dedicated to making your operation go smoothly. We careful review your medical history and current health condition before deciding if it is safe for you to proceed with surgery. It is important that you fully disclose all pertinent information so that we are able to make an accurate assessment of the risks involved. We will take every precaution necessary to reduce the possibility of any complications.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=”How do I know if plastic surgery is right for me?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]
There several important factors that come into play when deciding whether plastic surgery is the right option for you. One of the most important factors is your health. Being in good health greatly reduces the risk of complications occurring during surgery and leads to a speedy recovery. Next, you need to ask yourself what your motivations are. People who have plastic surgery generally find that the surgery enhances their overall appearance and self-esteem. Thirdly, you should have realistic expectations. Plastic surgery is both a science and an art, neither of which are perfect. Set reasonable goals as to the result you wish to achieve and be prepared to thoroughly discuss these goals during your initial consultation.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=”Can I have several procedures performed simultaneously?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]
It is a relatively common practice for a plastic surgeon to perform multiple procedures during one operation. This allows the surgeon to better “sculpt” your final appearance. In addition, having several procedures done simultaneously saves you the expense of paying the operating room and anesthesia costs more than once. However, having too much done at one time can lead to complications. The decision to have multiple procedures done depends on which procedures are being done, the extent of surgery, the operating time, and your age/health. Ultimately, the surgeon decides whether or not it is appropriate to include more than one procedure in your operation.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=” Does it matter how old I am?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]
Due to the variety of procedures available in plastic surgery, there can be no blanket rule on age although age will be taken into consideration when planning your operation. People of all ages have taken advantage of the image-enhancement offered by plastic surgery. There are even procedures appropriate for young children! It is important to realize the limitations of plastic surgery. Plastic surgery cannot “fix” every situation or reverse the aging process. What is a good procedure for one person may not be an appropriate procedure for another. We are committed to making your plastic surgery experience a successful one.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=”What happens during my initial consultation?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]
During your consultation we will discuss your desired changes and expectations, review your medical history and current health, and make an assessment on whether the procedure(s) in question are right for you. This is a good time to ask specific questions about the procedure so that you are fully prepared, mentally and emotionally, for surgery. We will discuss the results that can be achieved, with the aid of photos and/or computer imaging. When a final decision is made, you will need to sign an informed consent stating that you are fully aware and understand what is entailed by your pending operation, including the potential complications and secondary effects.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=”How long will it take to recover from my surgery?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]Generally, post-operative instructions call for rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time. The length of recovery varies with each procedure and is different for each individual. Bruises usually disappear within a few days, and most swelling is gone in a matter of weeks. If you follow our post-operative instructions carefully, you will be able to enjoy your normal activities within no time. Your scars will fade over time but are permanent. We take care to conceal any scars so that they are barely visible, if at all. The image-enhancing effects of plastic surgery become more evident over time with certain procedures taking up to a year for your body to fully adjust and settle into its new look. When you come in for your consultation we can discuss your expected recovery period and any post-operative instructions in detail.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=”Will my insurance cover the surgery?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]Insurance providers generally cover costs for reconstructive surgery but not for cosmetic surgery. For example, insurance providers will often pay for breast augmentation to reconstruct a breast following a mastectomy; breast reduction to remedy back pain caused by heavy breasts; eyelid surgery to remove sagging skin that blocks vision; nose surgery to allow for a patient to breathe better; or tummy tucks to remedy the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis. Insurance providers are required by law to cover breast reconstruction surgery and any cosmetic operations necessary to create symmetry in either breast. If your surgery is covered by insurance, pre-certification is required. We will be happy to assist you with the process.[/accordion_content]

[accordion_content title=” Are breast implants safe?” open=”true” el_id=”1476221504859-16730298-6563″]The issue of breast implant safety has been a hot topic throughout the last few decades. As a result, more stringent standards have emerged in order to protect patients. Current breast implant procedures primarily use silicone shell implants filled with a saline solution. Occasionally, silicone-gel filler is used; but this is highly regulated by the FDA, and generally only acceptable in reconstructive surgery procedures. Rarely, an implant will rupture or leak. With saline implants, the saline is safely absorbed into the body. The effect of silicone-gel leaking into the body is still being researched. If rupture or leaking is detected early, the implant can be easily replaced. Other possible complications from breast implant surgery may include blood clotting or pooling, overly sensitive breasts or loss of sensation in the breasts, and capsular contracture (a hardening of the tissues surrounding the implant). Our expert team is dedicated to making your operation a smooth one. We take every precaution necessary to reduce the possibility of any complications.[/accordion_content]

Dr Flores

by Cecilia Feliu

Mar 2,2022

I went to Dr Jaime Flores looking for a second opinion after a long journey of Six surgeries and a questionable medical management.He healed an open wound I had and set me on the wright path for a complete recovery.He performed a DIEP Flap to reconstruct my right breast with excellent results and a fraction of the pain and limitations I had to deal with in my previous surgeries.His confidence, expertise, professionalism,compassion and wonderful bedside manners make Dr Flores the best surgeon I could ask for. I wish I had met him before.All the stars for Dr Flores and his excellent team.My endlessly gratitude for this exceptional Doctor and marvelous human being.

Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS

by BARBARA M.

Jul15,2021

I was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.

Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

by Natasha Santamarina

Apr16,2021

There are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!

Outstanding Physician

by Rae Middleton

Going through breast cancer is a difficult and, in my case, lengthy journey. I have seen many doctors. My experience with Dr. Flores and his staff has been absolutely wonderful. He inspires confidence and has a calm, professional demeanor. Most importantly, his skill level is top-notch. I'm so grateful for the care I have received, and would highly recommend Flores Plastic Surgery to anyone!

Amazing Doctor

by Lorraine

Mar 5,2020

I am so glad that Doctor Flores and his staff were in my corner to help me become whole again after my double mastectomy and reconstruction. My husband is happy too. His office staff was so accommodating and caring. He did such a good job that I decided to have him do my face too. I left his office feeling like a part of the family and looking 15 years younger!

Breast Reduction w/ lift

by Kendra McCray

Apr 1,2019

Dr Flores and his team did a breast reduction w/lift on Nov 9, 2018. The process leading up, during, and afterward has been nothing short of amazing. I’m currently almost 5 months post op from having my surgery and I feel and look great. My incision (lollipop incision) is barely noticeable and I’ve received several compliments on how good by new breast look. I had eight consultations in my home town before finding out about Dr Flores. I took a chance and came to Miami FL to have my procedure done and I recommend a lot of people who are considering it to look into his work.

Above and Beyond Expectations

by Suhaill Blanco

Jun 7,2018

There are no words to describe Dr. Flores or enough stars to rate him. During my reconstruction Flore went beyond my expectations as a doctor. He was knowledgeable about all options for breast reconstruction surgery, took his time in explaining the process and the benefits of each options. During each surgery he personally came to see. He was always there and had lots of patience! In addition, his staff is outstanding! Always friendly and willing to assist. Flores has been a blessing in my life, he brought sunshine in my darkest time.

Kind and Professional

by Maggie Rivera

Jun 7,2018

I have had numerous surgeries performed by Dr. Flores. He was extremely attentive to all my concerns. He was always very kind and professional. He is also one of the hardest working doctors I know. His integrity is impeccable. Dr. Flores truly cares for his patients and went out of his way to assure my surgery and healing process was successful. Surgery can be such a frightening experience but I felt very safe in Dr Flores hands. I have and will continue to refer my family and friends to Dr. Flores.

Refreshed and Renewed in my 40's

by Maylynn Menoud

Apr12,2018

Dr. Rivera is a meticulous surgeon with an artist's eye and a skilled hand. She is very professional and attentive. She has made every process super comfortable and made me feel relaxed and kept me informed every step of the way with my Botox injections, Ultherapy skin tightening treatment and the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation treatments. After 2 treatments my skin looks entirely different and I can't wait to finish my last three appts so my skin will look transformed. Dr. Rivera’s staff is absolutely wonderful and they make you feel like family every time you come to the office. I absolutely love my results so far! I look refreshed and natural and I have had people ask me what I am doing to make my skin look so good! I would highly recommend Dr. Rivera and Flores Plastic Surgery to all of my friends and family.

Love what I see!

by Ana Cruz

Apr10,2018

Dr. Rivera is amazing! I had been fearful of injectables because I don't like the shiny plastic expressionless look I have seen on others who swear by Botox and fillers. My results were very natural and everyone tells me I look rested. Dr. Rivera used Botox on my forehead and crows feet and filler in my marionette lines and fine lines around my lips. The results are great. Her being a surgeon is definitely a plus. Her precision is remarkable!

latissimus dorsi flap and fat grafting

by Morena Sandri

Feb24,2018

I do not know where to start, but it is so important that women that went through my experience are inspired and if they read this, they are confident to take my journey. Dr. Flores took me under his wings after so many consults and initial surgeries with so many doctors. Nothing worked. After My double mastectomy and radiations no implant was able to stay in. Dr.Flores took his time to have a complicated tailor made surgery so I could have a real breast again. I had my surgery on Jan 2nd and I have a new life. I have a soft round beautiful D cup and I am so happy. I needed to have a great body to support such fabolous boobies so I started a diet, bought new clothes, got new makeup and hairdo. I feel like a woman again. Thank you Dr. Flores because you gave me a new life.. Thank you to the fantastic Jodi that is the angel next to Dr. Flores and to all the beautiful and compassionate assistants in the office.
