Testimonials

“

From the moment I made the phone call to inquire about my procedure to my final post op appointment my experience was beyond all expectations. All of my questions were answered, I never waited to be seen-each and every staff member was prompt and displayed such a great bedside manner. I can’t say enough about my experience. Dr Robbins was amazing. He showed so much care. If you are considering any procedure they perform just give them a call. You won’t regret it. I’m so unbelievably happy with my results. Thank you to the entire team for treating me so well

🙋🏼‍♀️ Am I a candidate for cosmetic surgery?

The term “surgery” includes everything from the anesthesia, to the operation, to postoperative recovery. Due to this, deciding if cosmetic surgery is right for you is usually not a straightforward answer and will vary guest to guest. In fact, there are a number of variables to consider in this decision.

A couple items to that everyone is subject to when determining if they’re a candidate include:

👉🏼YOU MUST BE IN GOOD OVERALL HEALTH

Most healthy and well-informed patients are excellent candidates for most surgeries. Any underlying medical problems you may have, your general health and lifestyle, the “concern” being addressed, the magnitude of the surgical “solution” and the anticipated outcome all play a role in determining if cosmetic plastic surgery is right for you.

👉🏼YOU MUST BE A NON-SMOKER

Smoking can complicate both cosmetic plastic surgery procedures and recovery time. For these reasons, Dr. Robbins and the Des Moines Plastic Surgery team will only proceed with patients that are non-smokers. If you are a smoker, you may be eligible to be considered a candidate if you quit smoking 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after your cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.

👉🏼YOU HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

During a consultation with Dr. Robbins you will discuss your goals and he can advise on what procedure would be most applicable, and what results you can expect. Result expectations from a cosmetic surgery are going to be based on each patient’s individual, unique physique and goals.
