Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Babak Moeinolmolki

Sourced directly from Dr. Babak Moeinolmolki's social posts and replies.

What is 360 liposuction?
360 liposuction targets the abdomen, flanks, and back. It involves liposuction of the upper, middle, and lower back, the lateral side areas of the breast, the upper, middle, and lower abdomen, and the top of the pubis. The goal is to ensure a nice, beautiful contour of the whole 360 area.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
A regular tummy tuck is often the best choice for most people, especially those who have had childbirth, which can cause muscle separation and skin stretching. Tummy tucks are the go-to procedure for tightening and toning the abdominal area, removing excess skin, and restoring a smooth, firm look. A tummy tuck can give you back a flat, sculpted stomach after pregnancy or weight loss.

What is involved in a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck involves fixing the abdominal muscles to restore abdominal wall contour and excising excess skin to eliminate step-offs and create a seamless abdominal wall contour.

What is BBL?
BBL is fat grafting to the buttocks. To ensure safety, fat with minimal exposure to air or infectious material is used. The practice uses a closed system, the Wells-Johnson system, to extract fat. The fat is purified and antibiotics are added. Ultrasound is used to identify the level to place the fat, and landmarks are used to protect patients from inadvertently putting fat into deep veins. Fat is placed laterally and inferiorly using the top angle and outside using the bottom angle.

How do you know if you need liposuction or gland removal for gynecomastia?
If the chest area feels rubbery with minimal fat and no hardness, liposuction alone may be sufficient, especially for younger men with obesity. If there is hardness under the nipple areola area, gland excision is often necessary, involving a small incision in the periareola area.

What is the recovery timeline for a tummy tuck?
Basic recovery, such as getting around the house, cooking, using the bathroom, and showering, usually takes around two days. More advanced recovery, such as driving, can take up to two weeks. Patients can generally start driving one week after surgery if they are off narcotics and managing pain with Tylenol and ibuprofen. Patients can typically return to the gym around four to six weeks after a tummy tuck, but will not be able to do heavy exercises immediately.

What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your body after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. It can include a breast lift to improve breast position, breast implants to improve breast form and shape, a tummy tuck to restore abdominal muscle separation and remove lower abdominal stretch marks, and 360 liposuction to sculpt the waist and flanks. Fat transfer can add curves to the hips or buttocks.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$118

Payments

5

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Babak Moeinolmolki received $118 across 5 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Lilly USA, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
