General Questions

Is cosmetic surgery safe?

Yes, when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Richie Gupta, cosmetic surgery is safe. All procedures are done in accredited facilities with proper pre-operative assessment, sterilization, and aftercare protocols.

How do I know which procedure is right for me?

A detailed consultation with Dr. Richie Gupta helps determine the best procedure based on your goals, anatomy, medical history, and lifestyle. Every treatment plan is personalized for optimal safety and results.

What is the recovery time after cosmetic surgery?

Recovery varies by procedure. Minimally invasive treatments may require only a few days, while major surgeries like abdominoplasty or rhinoplasty may take 1–2 weeks of downtime. Dr. Gupta provides complete post-op care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Will there be visible scars after surgery?

Most procedures are designed to leave minimal and well-concealed scars. Dr. Richie Gupta uses advanced techniques to place incisions in hidden or natural folds of the body to ensure aesthetic results.

What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery?

Cosmetic surgery enhances appearance for aesthetic reasons (e.g., rhinoplasty, breast augmentation), while reconstructive surgery restores form and function after trauma, birth defects, or disease (e.g., cleft lip repair, burn reconstruction).

How long do the results of cosmetic surgery last?

Most surgical results are long-lasting or permanent, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Some procedures like Botox or fillers may require repeat sessions every few months to maintain results.

Do I need to stop medications before surgery?

Yes, certain medications, such as blood thinners or hormonal pills, may need to be paused before surgery. Dr. Richie Gupta will review your full medical history and provide guidance on what to stop and when.

Is cosmetic surgery painful?

Most surgeries are performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with medication and usually subsides within a few days.

Can multiple procedures be combined in one surgery?

Yes, combination surgeries like a tummy tuck with liposuction or rhinoplasty with chin augmentation are common and safe when planned carefully. Dr. Gupta will assess whether you’re a suitable candidate for combined procedures.
