Q&A Panelist & Free Plastic Surgery Consultations: Dr. Carmina Cardenas, M.D.

Dr. Carmina Cardenas graduated from the School de Medicine at the University of Guadalajara and completed her residency and graduated with honors from the Mexican Institute of Social Security, at the Hospital of Specialties in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. She was honored to become the first woman to receive the title of Chief of Residents. (IMSS)

Not only is Dr. Cardenas a Plastic Surgeon that specializes in body conturing, she is also a weight loss surgery patient. She understands your dreams and needs as a post-bariatric patient through her own personal journey with Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery  (VSG) and Plastic Surgery. This first-hand experience makes Dr. Cardenas extremely passionate about working with weight loss surgery patients. She has built much of her plastic surgery practice around Body Contouring and After Weight Loss surgeries.

While bariatric or natural weight loss can improve and even resolve a patient’s medical problems, it often leaves patients unhappy with the new shape of their bodies after working so hard to lose their desired amount of weight. For the majority of weight surgery patients, plastic surgery is a life changing experience.  These procedures are dramatic, achieving a more youthful balanced and contoured body, improving self-esteem, creating a greater self-confidence in the new you. During your initial in-person consultation, Dr. Carmina will work with you to evaluate your specific needs and desires. No two patients are alike, and this crucial in-person meeting will help you understand your surgical procedure options and realistic expectations to attain your desired results.

Dr. Carmina is looking forward to helping you on your journey to complete your transformation!

Q&A Panel Session 4B: Friday 4:00pm – 4:50pm, International Ballroom IV

Uncovering You, Plastic Surgery After WLS

Are you looking to find that new shape of yours, but it is hidden beneath the excess skin? Are you suffering from excess skin that makes certain activities and daily hygiene difficult, causing unhealthy irritations and infections? Perhaps your excess skin is making it difficult to find clothes that fit properly? Or maybe the excess skin has been affecting your self-confidence, keeping you from looking and feeling your best. If any of this is troubling for you, then reconstructive plastic surgery might be an option that you want to explore!

Stop by the Plastic Surgery Q & A Panel Session and ask Dr. Cardenas, Dr. Castillo, or Dr. Domanskis, or Dr. Katzen your plastic surgery questions!

This will be an interactive session and our staff will bring the microphone to the audience so you can stand at your seat to ask your question of the panel member of your choice. The moderator and conference staff will help keep the Q&A moving so that we can try and get in as many questions as possible during the allotted time.
