Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert K. Sigal
Sourced directly from Dr. Robert K. Sigal's social posts and replies.
What are the risks associated with rhinoplasty?
General surgical risks like bleeding, infection, or changes in sensation are always present, though uncommon. Specific to rhinoplasty, there is a risk of complicating the airway or breathing, which is more common in second and third time procedures. Other complications include issues with healing or thick scar tissue. Additionally, there's a risk that patient expectations for the cosmetic result may not be fully met.
What should I expect during breast augmentation recovery?
Patients can shower the day after surgery. For straightforward cases with fast recovery, exercise can resume within days to weeks. It's recommended not to sleep on your stomach due to significant internal healing that should not be disturbed. Initially, breasts will appear about one size larger than their final settled size due to swelling. Scars are very sensitive to sun exposure, and tanning or sunbathing can injure them, potentially worsening their appearance over time.
What are the FDA regulations for breast implants and does Dr. Sigal perform off-label use?
The FDA has approved saline implants for women 18 and older, or for women of any age for reconstruction. Similarly, silicone implants are approved for women 22 and older, or for women of any age for reconstruction. For example, a 16-year-old with breast asymmetry could receive either saline or silicone implants for reconstruction. FDA approval is determined by the demographic studied during trials; silicone implants were not studied in women under 22. As a doctor, Dr. Sigal has the ability to use silicone implants in patients outside the FDA-approved age range, provided there is a discussion about it being an off-label use. There is no evidence indicating it is unsafe for individuals under 22 to have silicone implants; it just hasn't been studied.
What are Dr. Sigal's opinions on popular beauty and wellness trends?
Dr. Sigal rates red light therapy as not very effective, cold plunges as moderately beneficial (a 'six'), and lymphatic drainage massage as having low effectiveness (a 'three'). He finds Oura ring sleep trackers moderately helpful (a 'five'). He considers face and neck taping ineffective and potentially harmful (a 'negative one'), and jawline exercises ineffective for jawline correction (a 'zero'). Face masks may offer some reasonable benefits for skin growth or rejuvenation (a '3.5'). Saunas provide mental benefits (a 'seven'), and infrared saunas are likely a bit better due to deep heat (a '7.1'). He believes liquid collagen supplements are likely a waste of money if your diet already contains collagen (a '2.5').
What are the risks of overfilling lips?
Overfilling lips can overwhelm the body's ability to tolerate the filler, potentially leading to problems.
What are Dr. Sigal's recommendations regarding local surgery and the safety of surgical centers?
Dr. Sigal strongly recommends having surgery in your local area to ensure easy access to your surgeon for any post-operative complications, such as wound healing problems. He notes that in the United States, regulatory bodies exist to determine acceptable behavior in surgical centers, setting a baseline standard that must be exceeded for surgery to be performed. These regulatory agencies do not exist in other countries, leading to greater variability in surgical center standards and safety profiles abroad. He warns that traveling for plastic surgery can pose dangers.

What do patients have to say about Dr. Robert K. Sigal?

Reviews highlight life-changing results, exceeding expectations, and overall satisfaction with procedures like arm lifts, tummy tucks, facelifts, and eyelid surgery. The Reston location is also commended.
What areas of care does Dr. Robert K. Sigal cater to?
Dr. Sigal's areas of care focus on cosmetic surgery, encompassing both surgical and non-surgical procedures. He specializes in procedures for the face, breasts, and body, including facelifts, abdominoplasties, breast augmentation/reduction/lifts, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and body lifts. He also addresses issues like gynecomastia, skin cancer, and hair restoration, offering a comprehensive range of aesthetic treatments. In rhinoplasty, Dr. Sigal prioritizes functional preservation, ensuring the nose continues to function as it should, including breathing. This approach means patients should avoid procedures that remove so much tissue it affects the airway, and may imply that achieving the full desired cosmetic result might be balanced against maintaining optimal breathing function. The practice always pays attention to what the FDA says regarding implant approvals, and the decision between saline and silicone implants comes down to what is right for the individual patient. For lip enhancements, Dr. Sigal highly rates natural-looking results where filler is undetectable. His ideal aesthetic ratio for the vermilion (pink lip show) is 1/3 upper to 2/3 lower, favoring a smaller upper lip and a larger lower lip. He considers a tummy tuck a '10 out of 10' procedure, indicating a strong endorsement for its results.
