Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Pierre Lapaine
Sourced directly from Dr. Pierre Lapaine's social posts and replies.
What is the typical journey for a Mommy Makeover at Dr. Lapaine's practice?
The journey begins with an initial in-person or virtual meeting, followed by pre-medical clearance to ensure safety. Once cleared, the practice organizes the procedure, focusing on 'unfluffing' and 'getting things safe in the body'. Patients are instructed to avoid alcohol, salt, and other substances that could cause bleeding before surgery.
What happens on the day of surgery and immediately after?
On the day of surgery, after the procedure, patients are moved from the operating room to the practice's recovery room. Following recovery, private nurses from the practice transport patients to their post-operative accommodation.
How should I choose a plastic surgeon for a Mommy Makeover?
Patients considering a mommy makeover should meet with multiple surgeons and establish a relationship based on trust. A surgeon earns trust by understanding the patient's emotional needs, concerns, and fears, and by truly understanding their story.
What are the recovery expectations and pain management strategies after a tummy tuck?
Patients will experience discomfort and soreness, particularly in their back, for the first couple of weeks. The practice recommends alternating Tylenol and Advil around the clock for pain management, with other medications provided in the first few days. Drains are typically kept in for 10 to 14 days. The stage one garment is worn for about two weeks until drains are removed, then patients switch to a tighter garment. Patients can usually stand up straight around two weeks post-surgery.
What is the recommended scar and swelling management after a tummy tuck?
Scar treatments can begin four weeks after surgery, with Aquaphor recommended for application all over during the first four weeks. Significant milestones for swelling reduction occur at one month, three months, and six months, with patients continuing to 'shrink' throughout the entire recovery period up to six months.
What is the post-operative exercise and massage protocol?
Core exercises can be resumed after the three-month mark. Post-operative massages are recommended twice a week for the first month, once a week for the second month, and then once a month from month three to month twelve.
What is the NPS Signature Tummy Tuck and what are its results?
The NPS Signature Tummy Tuck has three parts: sculpting (liposuction) to create an hourglass figure, skin removal, and muscle repair. The practice aims for 'amazing' results, meaning the tummy tuck is undetectable as surgery, even in swimwear. The happiest patients often have the longest scars, as a longer scar indicates more skin was removed, leading to a more complete resolution of the problem and greater patient happiness.
How does Dr. Lapaine communicate results to patients?
The practice likes to show on-table results to patients, taking videos and sending them. This is considered very motivating, especially since patients typically start to swell after surgery and remain swollen for about three months.
What is the Ballerina Arms procedure?
Ballerina Arms is the practice's number one minimally invasive procedure. It does not require general anesthetic; light medication is administered to make patients feel relaxed. The procedure involves putting in numbing fluid, melting fat, and then removing it. Patients can achieve sleek, sexy arms a few weeks after, once swelling subsides and they start exercising.
What is Diastasis Recti and how is it treated?
Diastasis recti, or muscle separation after babies, leads to a bulge that can interfere with wearing everyday clothing and cause discomfort. This condition affects even very fit individuals, and when muscles are separated, they are functionally impaired. Non-surgical methods like pelvic floor therapy, Pilates, or working out can often help but cannot always solve the problem, and diastasis recti does not 'snap back' with workouts or time. Surgical repair is the only true method to fix diastasis recti. Muscle repair is a major component of every tummy tuck performed by the practice, flattening the inside to make the outside look tight. After surgical repair, patients can enjoy physical activities like the gym, Pilates, and planks, seeing results from their workouts and moving with strength, comfort, and confidence.
Who is an ideal candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and what is Dr. Lapaine's philosophy?
BBLs are indicated for mothers, patients over 50 experiencing menopause, and weight loss patients who desire to address a droopy or flat buttocks. The practice performs BBLs on virtually every case now, possessing expertise to create natural-looking results, avoiding an 'extreme' or 'crazy' appearance, and understanding the aesthetic characteristics of a perky and youthful buttocks. A BBL's purpose extends beyond creating curves; it focuses on achieving balance, shape, and sculpting a personalized silhouette that feels authentic to the patient, transforming them into a youthful, natural, elegant, long, and lean version of themselves.

They describe feeling comfortable and unrushed during appointments, highlight his ability to answer all their questions thoroughly, and express overwhelming satisfaction with their surgical outcomes, often using phrases like "amazing results," "best decision," and "life-changing."
What areas of care does Dr. Pierre Lapaine cater to?
Dr. Lapaine specializes in plastic surgery, with a focus on body contouring and breast surgery. This includes procedures like tummy tucks (including mini tummy tucks), liposuction (including chin liposuction), breast lifts, arm lifts, mommy makeovers, and eyelid surgery. He believes aftercare should be a one-on-one, dynamic relationship between the doctor, surgical team, and patient. His philosophy emphasizes building patient trust by deeply understanding their emotional needs, concerns, and fears. For tummy tucks, the goal is 'amazing' results that are undetectable as surgery, even in swimwear, achieving a 'long, lean and elegant' aesthetic by sculpting, toning, and tucking the entire torso. In Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), the focus is on creating natural, perky, and youthful results, moving beyond simple curves to achieve balance, shape, and a personalized, authentic silhouette that transforms patients into a youthful, natural, elegant, long, and lean version of themselves. The practice employs new and advanced surgical techniques, particularly for diastasis recti repair, driven by a philosophy of hyper-specialization in a few key operations to perfect every detail and deliver the most elegant, natural outcomes possible.
