What is a DIEP flap procedure?

A DIEP flap is a type of breast reconstruction that uses the patient's own abdominal skin and fat without sacrificing the abdominal muscles. It provides a natural result and preserves core strength.

How long is recovery from a DIEP flap?

Recovery from a DIEP flap procedure typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients return to daily activities within this timeframe, though full healing may take longer.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves signs of aging by tightening facial skin and repositioning underlying tissues for a more youthful look.

How long does a facelift last?

Facelift results usually last 8 to 12 years, depending on factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and aging. Ongoing skincare and sun protection can extend results.

I saw Dr. Levy for both Botox and lip fillers. Dr Levy is a perfectionist, which is exactly what I was looking for when I chose to make enhancements to my face. He took the time to listen to my goals, gave me realistic feedback, and ultimately helped me achieve the results I was looking for. I would highly recommend him.
