Dr. Bashioum Named Top Doc
July 2nd, 2018
We are proud to announce that Dr. Ralph Bashioum has been named to Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine’s Top Doctors distinction again this year! Reflecting on his honor, Dr. Bashioum said “I love what I do and it is a pleasure to walk to my surgery center every day. I have an amazing staff, most having been with me over 20 years now. Together we strive to provide our patients with care that emphasizes choices and options regarding their surgical procedures. We offer post-surgery patients 24/7 physician access, because I’ve determined that patients have a more relaxed recovery knowing they can have their questions answered quickly. Many thanks to my staff and all my patients that help make being a plastic surgeon a privilege.”
Tummy Tuck Top 5 Cosmetic Surgeries
May 10th, 2018
In recently released stats, Abdominoplasty surgery or more commonly called the Tummy Tuck procedure, remains TOP 5 most requested cosmetic surgeries again for last year. A common complaint that I hear from patients considering this surgery was loss of their muscle and skin tone due to pregnancy or significant weight gain/loss. This often results in what is sometimes called muffin top and symptoms may include saggy skin, and stretched muscles, which may even cause backache. Surgery is usually required to repair these changes when exercise and diet have failed. My patients report great satisfaction after having their tummy nipntuck. It is also one of the procedures in addition to breast restoration, referred to as the Mommy Makeover. This has become more popular in recent years as more women no longer accept the physical changes that are generally the result of pregnancy or fluctuation in weight.
