In Dr. Michael T. Rossi's own words

How Dr. Michael T. Rossi describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • And as I say all the time, women come to me, plus the surgery's not vanity, it's simply wanting to feel whole again, it's wanting to feel like yourself
  • For me, that's not the case. It's about enhancing your appearance, making you look and feel like the best version of yourself

Specialization

  • Dr. Michael T. Rossi performs breast procedures and reverse tummy tucks.
  • Her customized treatment plan included a facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, and fat injections

Technique

  • I fixed that, fixed the hernia, created this gorgeous symmetry, tiny little waistline by sculpting her, added some fat to the hip dips to fill the hip dips of her buttocks
  • I only use drains in the breasts in one circumstance, when I take implants out from above the muscle, like she had, to go below the muscle, which looks more natural
  • And what we have the ability to do is using our own cells, by harvesting our own fat cells, and taking our own stem cells out of that and multiplying them. We can utilize them to decrease inflammation in the body

Technology

  • Dr. Michael T. Rossi uses BodyTite for radiofrequency skin tightening.

Training & credentials

  • I'm Dr. Michael Rossi, an award-winning plastic surgeon in San Diego, California

Consultation

  • One aspect that patients love about our practice is we have a very concierge-style approach. Patients have easy access to not only their care team, but their surgeon on a weekly basis

Recovery guidance

  • Drains come out in two days, those are just above the muscle in that little cavity where her previous implant sat, I took all that scar tissue out of the capsule, so this will heal down
  • We start by giving our patients supplements that are taken before surgery and providing care such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and lymphatic massage afterwards to help patients maximize their results, maximize their recovery, and minimize their pain
