About

Dr. Edward Kole is a double board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Southampton, Pennsylvania, with over 25 years of experience. He believes cosmetic surgery should help patients feel more comfortable and confident as themselves, rather than aiming for perfection or transforming into someone different. Dr. Kole's goal is to help every patient look and feel their best through a personalized plan. For facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery, and JUVÉDERM® injections, Dr. Kole consistently aims for natural, undetectable results, so patients look well-rested and refreshed without appearing "done." He emphasizes that a Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures tailored to changes from pregnancy and nursing, often addressing the abdomen and breasts in a single surgery for a more efficient recovery. Dr. Kole personally performs every procedure at his private, PA Department of Health licensed surgical center in Southampton, PA. Complimentary consultations are available to discuss individual goals, health, and expectations.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Edward Kole, DO

Sourced directly from Dr. Edward Kole, DO's social posts and replies.

Can I still get mammograms if I have breast implants?
Yes, patients with breast implants can and should still get routine mammograms. It's important to inform the imaging facility about your implants before your appointment. Mammography technologists may use specialized positioning and take additional images to visualize more breast tissue around the implant. While implants change how a mammogram is performed, they do not eliminate the need for this screening. This is a key long-term question to discuss during your breast augmentation consultation.
How does CoolSculpting work and what are its limitations?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and break down unwanted fat cells, which are then naturally processed and removed by the body over time. It does not involve incisions, and results develop gradually. CoolSculpting is designed for contouring stubborn areas of fat and is not intended for major weight loss. It is not suitable for everyone, and a personalized evaluation is necessary to determine if it aligns with your specific goals.
Do I need to lose weight before a tummy tuck?
Not necessarily. A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure; it addresses loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat pockets, and weakened muscles. Being slightly overweight doesn't automatically disqualify you. However, if you plan significant weight loss, it's often better to achieve that goal first, as further weight loss after surgery can lead to more loose skin and alter the abdominal contour, affecting your final result. Your overall health, anatomy, goals, and future weight-loss plans are all considered during the consultation.
What is Dr. Kole's philosophy on patient consultations?
Dr. Kole believes a trustworthy plastic surgery consultation is not about selling a procedure, but about determining if surgery is appropriate for your goals, health, anatomy, and expectations. He ensures patients fully understand all their options. A consultation is a pressure-free conversation where you ask questions, receive honest answers, and leave with a clear understanding of your options, whether that means proceeding with surgery, considering alternative approaches, or being advised that a particular procedure isn't suitable for you.
What is a 'Mommy Makeover' and how does Dr. Kole approach it?
The term 'Mommy Makeover' refers to a combination of procedures specifically designed to address body changes from pregnancy and nursing. It's not a single procedure. For most patients, this involves addressing the abdomen and breasts together, sometimes with liposuction for resistant areas. Dr. Kole's approach is to perform all necessary procedures in a single surgery, consolidating recovery into one efficient and body-friendly period. The most consistent outcome is women reporting they feel like themselves again, the version that existed before significant body changes.
When can I resume exercise after cosmetic surgery?
The timing for resuming exercise is variable and depends on your specific procedure, individual healing progress, and the type of exercise. Light movement may be appropriate earlier in recovery, but strenuous workouts, heavy lifting, and high-impact activities should be delayed until your surgeon confirms your body is ready. It's crucial to remember that feeling better doesn't always mean you're fully healed. Adhering strictly to your post-operative instructions is essential to protect both your recovery process and your surgical results.
How has breast augmentation evolved and what is Dr. Kole's approach to customization?
Breast augmentation has significantly evolved over the past decade, with changes in implants, techniques, placement options, incision locations, and recovery protocols, all genuinely benefiting patients. The procedure is now far more customizable. Dr. Kole does not use a standard template; instead, he builds an approach around your unique body, proportions, and goals. Questions about implant type, size, and recovery are crucial, and the answers are highly individualized for every patient.
What is Otoplasty and when is the ideal time for teens to have it?
Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, is a procedure that corrects ears that protrude or appear uneven. For teens who are self-conscious about their ears, late summer is often an ideal time for surgery. With a typical recovery period of 1–2 weeks, having the procedure before school starts allows them to recover over the summer and begin the new school year feeling confident, without surgery cutting into their academic schedule.

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)

$23

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Edward Kole, DO received $23 across 1 payment 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 Mentor Worldwide 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?”
