Default Plastic Surgery Questions for East Countys meeting

Hello all,

As we discussed in the East County meeting last night this thread is to serve for questions you might like to ask Dr Batra.

Please just post your questions and I'll collect them and give them to his office.

Please do not respond, questions only please.

How long do you have to wait after having a baby to have an abdominoplasty?

Can anything be done with extra skin below the knees?

Default HMO vs PPO

Which insurance is easier to deal with, or do they prefer to not even try to submit?

Does Dr. Batra work w/ HMO's?

Will he perform a tt on a patient who has not had children yet?

Are consults free?

Are there any scar treatment remedy's you believe in?

Are there are skin tightening lotions that you endorse or have seen results from?

Is it true that the only way to tighten skin is to build bigger muscles?

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you guys know that work for a place called Alvarado Institute of Skin Care. We are do all kinds of skin procedures including pigment eradication procedures which lightens the skin. We work in conjuntions with Dr. Session who is well known plastic surgeon in La Mesa. He was one of those doctors that did one those make over shows.

I just wanted to let you know this cuz I also have access to lots of information and products and procedures to help us all with our skin. If you are intersted I can talk to my boss and get those who want a possible skin eval and free microderm or chemical peel.

Just and FYI

Will they do a body and thigh lift at the same time. Does this require a hospital stay?

Barbara Jo, thank you for the information. Please start a new thread, so that those who do have questions for you may ask them.

We are having Dr Munish Batra coming to our east counting meeting on June 8th. This thread is just for question we would like to ask him.

Is there a procedure to take away the extra skin on the calves? Like a batwing surgery, but for the calves? My calves are just floating with skin!
