Source →
What is Dr. Carvalho's philosophy on the exactness of medicine?

Source →
Who is an ideal candidate for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and what does it achieve?
Abdominoplasty is the best procedure for patients with severe sagging skin caused by pregnancy or significant weight loss, especially if they have diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles). It removes excess skin, tightens abdominal muscles, and provides a flat, toned abdomen.
Source →
When is liposuction not recommended for abdominal contouring?
For patients with severe sagging skin caused by pregnancy or weight loss, liposuction alone is not recommended as it will only make the skin looser. Abdominoplasty is typically required in these cases.
Source →
What is Dr. Carvalho's advice on procedure timing for abdominal contouring?
Dr. Carvalho emphasizes performing the right procedure at the right time. For patients with significant skin laxity or diastasis, abdominoplasty is recommended before any liposuction, as it is technically very difficult to perform a tummy tuck after liposuction that results in loose skin.
Source →
What does liposuction achieve and what are its limitations?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat pockets and is perfect for contouring specific areas, but it has a minimal skin tightening effect.
