Guides, checklists and explainers written by Dr. Balgobin — so your consultation starts from informed questions instead of from scratch.
Medications and supplements to stop, labs required, nicotine and alcohol timelines, what to buy before surgery day, and how to arrange your ride.
What board certification actually means, questions to ask, and the red flags that should end a consultation.
How cosmetic pricing is structured, what a quote should include, and the financing options available through the practice.
Why compression drives your final contour, how long to wear it, and how to size the second-stage garment.
When to start, how often, what it does for swelling and fibrosis, and how to find a qualified therapist.
Why week-two you is not final you, and the normal timeline for contour to emerge.
Pressure offloading, sleeping positions, and returning to normal activity without compromising graft survival.
Incision care, silicone, sun protection and what to do about hyperpigmentation.
What is normal, what warrants a call, and what warrants immediate attention.
