Diastasis recti is a common concern after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging, and it often shows up as a stubborn belly bulge that does not improve with diet or exercise.

At Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Marshall helps Beverly Hills, CA cosmetic surgery patients correct diastasis recti and excess abdominal skin with tummy tuck surgery. Understanding how muscle repair works and what kind of results to expect […]
Liposuction can create dramatic improvements in your silhouette, but some patients may be surprised to learn that final results develop gradually rather than overnight. At Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Marshall emphasizes that liposuction removes fat cells almost immediately, but swelling, tissue settling, and refinement take time. Most people begin noticing slimmer contours within the first few weeks, but full results typically appear once swelling resolves and the skin adjusts to its new shape. Understanding this timeline for lipo results helps set realistic expectations so you can enjoy the process of watching […]

If you’re like many people, your first question about tummy tuck surgery may be, “How much weight can I lose with a tummy tuck?” While a tummy tuck can certainly be useful for slimming and smoothing out your midsection, it’s important to keep in mind that the primary goal of tummy tuck surgery is not weight loss. Instead, a tummy tuck aims to remove loose skin and address isolated areas of stubborn fat to create a more pleasing overall abdominal contour.
Generally speaking, patients considering a tummy tuck should already be at or near their goal weight. Here, double board-certified plastic […]

At Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Marshall offers a wide range of body contouring solutions, including traditional and HD liposuction, tailored […]

Because a mommy makeover can be quite extensive and requires both a time and financial investment — and because subsequent weight gain or pregnancy after mommy makeover surgery can significantly compromise results — women are strongly encouraged to wait until they are done having children before undergoing the procedure.
However, our caring team at Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery, led by double board-certified […]
