Most people are terrified of filler because of what they see on social media. In my Beverly Hills practice, I hear the same thing daily: "I don't want to look like a celebrity gone wrong." Even one of our own staff members was hesitant after seeing horrific results elsewhere. The truth is, filler is meant to be subtle. It’s about restoring a youthful version of yourself, not changing who you are. We eventually coaxed her into it, and now she loves her natural, refreshed results.

What's the biggest fear you have when it comes to facial injections?

05/21/2026

It’s tempting to find a deal, but self-injecting products bought online is a massive gamble with your health. Here in Beverly Hills, I see the risks firsthand. Even as a surgeon, I’m incredibly selective about where our products come from. Botox sold outside the U.S. is often a fraction of the cost, but it lacks the FDA quality control that ensures your safety. We only buy directly from U.S. companies to guarantee genuine quality.

Have you ever been worried about the quality of the products used in a procedure?

Thinking you can have surgery without scars is a common mistake.

The idea that we can make big incisions without leaving a mark is a myth. Even here in Beverly Hills, every surgery leaves a scar. The real secret is how we hide them. We use detail-oriented techniques to ensure they are minimal or tucked away where they aren't visible. It’s all about the precision and time taken during the closure.

What's the most common thing you've heard about scarring after a procedure?

05/20/2026

Most patients don't complain about the surgery itself—they complain about the time they lost waiting for it. At our Beverly Hills practice, we see it constantly. Women wait for the "perfect" time or until the kids are grown, only to realize the results are life-changing. Even with the scars and recovery time, the transformation is so profound they wish they’d started a decade earlier. Dr. Som helps women reclaim their confidence through expert body contouring.

If you could change one thing about your post-baby body, what would be the first thing on your list?

Your surgeon should be a doctor, not a salesperson. Choosing a surgeon in Beverly Hills is about more than price. You need a board-certified expert you trust. If a consultation feels like a sales pitch, walk away. Focus on skill and safety above all else.

What's the biggest worry you have when meeting a new surgeon for the first time?

Most people assume liposuction means weeks of downtime. In my Beverly Hills practice, I see patients who undergo awake liposuction and head back to work the very next day. However, when we perform extensive fat grafting for breast reconstruction, the soreness can last much longer. It really comes down to the individual and the procedure type.

What would be your biggest priority when choosing a recovery timeline?

05/19/2026

Your mindset before surgery might be just as important as the scalpel itself.

In our Beverly Hills practice, we focus on more than just the technical procedure. When you find a surgeon who truly fits what you are looking for, something incredible happens. That bond of trust actually triggers a placebo effect that can significantly improve your recovery and final outcomes. On the flip side, entering a procedure with doubt can lead to deleterious effects. It’s about the partnership.

What is the most important quality you look for when choosing a doctor for a major procedure?

The difference between a safe recovery and a life-threatening complication often comes down to one word: accreditation. In my Beverly Hills practice, I’ve seen the horror stories of what happens when people operate in unaccredited spaces. Without oversight, anyone can do anything—even using dangerous materials like tire silicone. As a board-certified surgeon, I am required to report exactly where I operate to ensure patient safety. Always verify the facility before your procedure.

What’s the first question you’d ask a surgeon about where they perform their operations?

05/18/2026

A patient recently developed a pressure ulcer because they refused to leave their bed for a week.

It sounds counterintuitive, but staying still after a tummy tuck is risky. At my Beverly Hills practice, we insist on movement. Walking the same day helps prevent blood clots and pneumonia by encouraging deep breaths. Following recovery guidelines is critical for your safety.

What's the biggest concern you have about recovering from a major procedure?

05/17/2026

Getting surgery too soon is a mistake many people make without realizing it. In our Beverly Hills clinic, we see the difference patience makes. If you undergo a procedure before hitting your target weight, you risk needing the whole thing done again because of new loose skin. We work with patients monthly to ensure they reach their goal first. It’s about long-lasting results, not just a quick fix.

Even medical professionals get this wrong more often than you’d think. Liposuction isn't a weight loss tool, yet many seek it out after gaining weight. In my Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice, education is always the first step. When you understand what lipo actually does, your expectations align with reality, leading to much better results. We focus on contouring the body, not changing the number on the scale.
