Dr. Bashioum’s Interview for Star Tribune
August 9th, 2012
Dr. Bashioum’s interview about cosmetic surgery for toes is in the Star Tribune today. The article by Kristin Tillotson appears in the Lifestyle section for the Aug. 9, 2012 issue of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Dr. Ralph Bashioum, a Wayzata cosmetic surgeon who has been practicing for more than 30 years, hasn’t heard of an uptick in such requests in the Twin Cities, but said that “people can be sensitive about any aspect of their appearance. It can happen with all parts of the body, and they will seek out offers to change what they’re sensitive about.”

Mel’s Blog: Tummy Tuck Recovery
August 9th, 2012
I was very excited at the idea of getting rid of my tummy pooch. Recovery continued from my abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery and my abdomen turned all the shades of the rainbow and was pretty swollen. Wearing the post-op binder that was provided, helped a lot of relief and support. I went back to work on post-op day 6. I work in an office, so I was able to structure my day so that it was comfortable. I walked around hunched over for a few days, but eventually was able to stand upright. It helped a lot for me to be able to get up and go to work. It was nice to be back in to my normal routine. Slowly but surely my pants fit again as the swelling went down.
There was one thing that was very difficult: lower back pain. It lasted 2 weeks, and it was horrible. It was almost worse than the soreness in my abdomen. I never realized how important abdominal muscles were for my posture! I did reach out to the office staff and Dr. Bashioum a few times with post-operative questions. Everyone was so gracious – I truly felt spoiled!
