Consultation

  • The practice examines patients and provides recommendations based on their individual needs.TikTok ↗

Recovery guidance

Source →
What are Dr. Maguina's views on Botox?
Botox is highly rated (10/10) as an aesthetic treatment, considered good for the long-term maintenance of wrinkles, especially in areas where other treatment options are limited.
Source →
Why is post-operative care especially crucial for a BBL, and what are the key instructions?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the few surgeries where proper post-operative care is crucial to avoid negative outcomes and ensure the best results. Patients are required to avoid putting any pressure on the buttocks for at least three weeks, and ideally for a month. This means no driving, always using a special BBL pillow when sitting, and always sleeping face down.
Source →
How do transferred fat cells survive after a BBL or fat transfer, and what happens if they don't?
Transferred fat cells initially lack blood supply and require time to revascularize (build new blood vessels) to be nourished. If they don't manage to do that within the first couple of weeks, those cells will reabsorb, leading to a loss of part of the transferred fat.
Source →
Does Dr. Maguina recommend combining a BBL with other procedures like breast augmentation or tummy tucks?
The practice does not recommend combining procedures like breast augmentation or tummy tucks with a BBL. This is because sleeping face down is essential for BBL recovery, which conflicts with the recovery needs of other procedures.
Source →
What are the differences in results between breast augmentation with fat injections and implants, and how can I learn more?
Breast augmentation can be performed in some patients using fat injections without implants. However, the results of breast augmentation with fat injections are generally less significant than what can be achieved with implants. Patients interested in this option should attend a consultation to determine the ideal choice for them and discuss all details.
Source →
What is a Mommy Makeover, how many types are offered, and what are its typical components?
A Mommy Makeover is defined as a combination of breast and abdominal surgeries, focusing on the two body areas that change the most after a woman has been a mother. The practice offers three types of Mommy Makeover, tailored to individual patient needs. A Tummy Tuck is always a core component for abdominal contouring. For breast surgery, options include breast augmentation for those who have lost volume, breast reduction for those with excessive tissue, and sometimes a combination of breast lift with augmentation.
Source →
What is the maximum amount of fat that can be transferred during a BBL, and why is there a limit?
The maximum amount of fat that can be transferred with a BBL is 3 liters. This limit is based on studies showing that transferring more than this amount significantly increases the risk of complications and mortality, prioritizing patient health and safety. The practice collects up to 3 liters of fat for a BBL, or less if the patient does not have that much available. Despite this limit, 3 liters of fat is considered sufficient to achieve a noticeable BBL result.
Source →
What are the risks of medical tourism and discount plastic surgery, and how can patients ensure safety?
Recent reports of fatalities in plastic surgery have been linked to medical tourism and super-discount procedures, highlighting the significant risks involved. These tragedies are considered totally preventable with proper precautions. Patients are strongly advised to conduct thorough research, make conscious and informed choices for their health and well-being, choose certified and experienced surgeons, and ensure their surgery is performed in a certified facility. It is particularly risky to choose places that cut costs on everything, offer services with untrained personnel, and operate in clinics lacking necessary equipment. Additionally, avoid 'professionals' who constantly change their location, as this can be a red flag.
Source →
Are quality plastic surgery clinics and doctors only found in the United States?
No, there are good clinics and good doctors everywhere, not exclusively in the United States. However, thorough research is essential to ensure safety and quality.
Source →
What is the BMI limit for surgeries at Ideal Plastic Surgery, and what are the requirements if a patient's BMI is above this limit?
The Body Mass Index (BMI) limit for surgeries at Ideal Plastic Surgery is 40. This limit is not arbitrary; a large study involving over 1,700 patients demonstrated that a BMI above 40 significantly increases the risk of complications. For example, a patient who is 5 feet tall would have a maximum weight limit of 220 pounds for surgery eligibility; exceeding this weight disqualifies them. If a patient's BMI is above 40, they must first undergo injections or lose weight before surgery to meet safety criteria.
Source →
How are BMI ranges classified?
BMI classifications are: Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5-24.9), Elevated (25-29.9), and Obesity (30+).
Source →
What are Dr. Maguina's recommendations for Retinol?
Retinol is highly rated (10/10) as a skincare treatment, known to help with fine wrinkles and contribute to a good complexion.
Source →
How important is sunscreen in a skincare regimen?
Sunscreen is exceptionally highly rated (12/10) and considered one of the most important things in any skincare regimen. It is crucial even if it's the only skincare product you use.
Source →
What are Dr. Maguina's views on CO2 laser treatment?
CO2 laser treatment is highly rated (10/10) and considered worth it. It is most commonly fractional, which results in an easier recovery time, and helps soften fine wrinkles and rejuvenate skin.

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)

$662

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Pirko Maguina received $662 across 8 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Solta Medical, a division of Bausch Health US, 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?”
