Undergoing a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an exciting step toward a flatter, more toned abdomen. While the procedure offers remarkable results, it’s essential to plan for a smooth recovery to maximize your outcome. By focusing on recovery steps, diet, and realistic expectations, you can enhance your experience and enjoy the full benefits of your transformation.
What to Expect in Recovery
The recovery period after a tummy tuck varies by individual, but most patients can expect an initial recovery of about 2–4 weeks. During this time, you’ll experience swelling, bruising, and tightness in the abdomen, which are natural responses to the procedure. […]
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, offering a targeted solution for stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. But while it can provide significant body contouring benefits, many people wonder how liposuction fits into a long-term weight management plan. Is liposuction a quick fix for weight loss? And once you’ve had the procedure, how can you keep the weight off for good?
In this blog, we’ll explore the relationship between liposuction and weight loss, what you can expect post-surgery, and how to maintain your results long after the procedure.
Liposuction Is Not a […]
Experience, credentials, and training are of the utmost importance when selecting a Plastic Surgeon. Do your homework and do not be misled by family physicians moonlighting as cosmetic surgeons. Legally, having a medical license allows anyone to call themselves a cosmetic surgeon even if their training was in a non-surgical specialty. Always look for a physician with credentials as a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform plastic surgery.
Cosmetic Surgery is not a medical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the only board recognized by the ABMS to certify physicians […]

Dear Dr. Baltimore,
Since having kids, I haven’t felt comfortable in my skin. I work out as much as possible and eat pretty well, yet I still can’t seem to get back my post-baby body. I have heard playground whispers about women having Mommy Makeover […]
I was referred to Dr Rottman by another plastic surgeon because I was interested in getting breast augmentation. I was advised that he specialized in breast augmentations and simply he was the best surgeon to go to. And that was from one of his peers.
My first visit with Dr Rottman solidified the referral. He was extremely professional, and completely on top of all the newest advancements in augmentations. I felt I had done my research before my visit, and he was still able to teach me some things and make me aware of some things I didn’t think about. […]

Dear Dr. Rottman,
Over the last year I have lost in excess of 100 pounds following bariatric surgery. While I am thrilled to have lost the weight and to be freed from the burdens of chronic illness, I can’t help but feel unhappy with the excess loose […]

I am getting to know Baltimore Top Doc, Steven J. Rottman.
These days a Google search and possible background check are par for the course before any blind date, job interview, or important business meeting. It seems reasonable that you might want to get to know someone a bit before going under the knife.

Dear Dr. Rottman,
It seems like everyone is offering anti-aging treatments these days. Is it OK to go to a family practice doctor for anti-aging injectables such as Restylane or Botox? I thought only Plastic Surgeons could legally do these types of procedures. Is it OK to have cosmetic procedures done by a family doctor or even a dentist?
Sincerely,
Cautiously Confused
Dear Cautiously Confused,
The short answer is no. Experience, credentials and training are of the utmost […]
