Over the past year I have been thinking about having a Rhinoplasty, and have been researching various physicians in southwest. I work in the medical field and was referred by friends to Dr. Agullo. I immediately started to explore his credentials and realized he had completed his Plastic Surgery Fellowship at the highly esteemed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. After meeting with him in his office I knew I was in good hands and scheduled surgery. In Short, Dr. Agullo is highly trained, very detailed in his approach and uses the best equipment which has led to my great results. I am EXTREMLY satisfied and have recommended him to friends and family.”, Google
“Dr. Agullo is an amazing surgeon but also an amazing human being. Meeting him you feel calm reassured and safe. I have been his patient, I have watched him do surgery (I work in the medical field) and I have had the opportunity to hear and see what he is like when he works. So I went in for a consultation and had my surgery. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and Dr. Agullo is such a blessing in EL PASO, Texas! Thank you Thank you for coming back to El Paso to help those of us who needed you to feel whole again.”, Google

Ask a Surgeon
Dr. Frank Agullo participates in the ASPS Ask A Surgeon service. View responses to public questions below.
Asymmetry breasts
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
It is very common for one breast to be different from the other. There are many options for making the breast look more symmetric. If you want to reduce the size of the right breast, then a breast reduction would be necessary. This usually entails an anchor type incision. The left breast can be augmented with an implant or fat transfer to improve symmetry. Obviously, and in-person consultation would be the most reliable in order to measure the difference between the two breasts. #StayBeautiful #RealDrWorldWide
Labia Minora fixed
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
Hi Mikayla! Your concern is a very common occurrence. The procedure to fix this tear is usually simple, although a full consultation would be necessary to determine the extent. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon that performs labiaplasties often. The cost of a procedure like this can be between $2,000 and $4,000 depending on the extent of the repair and type of anesthesia. #Staybeautiful
FaceTite
FaceliftMember Response:
Hi MaryJo! FaceTite is a very powerful procedure that combines fat reduction with skin tightening. It can be combined with Morpheus8 (radiofrequency microneedling) to improve skin texture and promote even more tightening. It can be used on the lower face and neck at the same time. AccuTite is a smaller applicator that can be used on the nasolabial folds, brows, and lower lids. A single treatment results in significant permanent improvement. Most patients only undergo one treatment. You can always repeat Morpheus8 without the need for sedation or anesthesia.
Tummy/Butt Augmentation
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
Knowing that you have diabetes and hypothyroidism, the most important thing to do is to have both well controlled. If they are both well-controlled, then the risks involved with the procedure are the same as in a healthy patient. You could seek out a plastic surgery consultation as well to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Every surgeon differs, but I recommend a BMI below 32.
Tummy Tuck after Epigastric Hernia Repair
Tummy TuckMember Response:
The information you received about needing to separate the epigastric hernia repair and the tummy tuck may not be universally applicable. In fact, it's often possible and even preferable to address both an epigastric hernia and a tummy tuck in a single procedure. This is especially true because an epigastric hernia is frequently associated with rectus diastasis, a condition that can be corrected during a tummy tuck. Having both procedures done simultaneously offers several benefits: single recovery period, cost-effective, aesthetics. However, it's crucial to find a surgeon who is comfortable and experienced in performing both procedures concurrently. Ideally, look for a plastic surgeon who is also a board-certified general surgeon, or one who is willing to collaborate with a general surgeon. This ensures that both the cosmetic and the medical aspects of the surgery are handled with equal expertise.
How much would these plastic surgeries cost?
Cosmetic SurgeryMember Response:
Facial procedures vary considerably between patients. When undergoing a surgical procedure we can use your own fat to fill the face instead of spending additional money on temporary fillers. A facelift procedure with fat transfer and rhinoplasty can cost around $16,000. #Staybeautiful
Reduction of enlarged tummy
Tummy TuckMember Response:
It seems like you might have excess visceral fat. This is the fat around your intestines. As it increases in volume it pushes against your muscles and causes distension. It also pushes against your diaphragm. The only way to reduce visceral fat is with diet and exercise. You can also consider a bariatric procedure such as a gastric sleeve.
Vagina Less Fat
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
The amount of fat volume can be reduced in the mons/pubic area and in the labia majora. If there is loose skin, a mons lift of labia majora reduction could be necessary. You are right, vaginal rejuvenation is the correct term for the group of surgeries used to modify the appearance of the vagina.
Scar revision
Body ContouringMember Response:
The scar can be made to pop out by a simple technique called subcision under local anesthesia or if you also want to improve the appearance of the scar then a simple revision under local.
Breast lift at the age of 18
Breast LiftMember Response:
There is no question that a breast lift would be safe in a healthy 18-year-old. The question is if it would be appropriate. At your age, we can perform breast reductions (which include a lift) in patients with large breasts that are causing symptoms like back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooving or rashes. Whether you are a candidate would depend on a full evaluation.
Lipo on vag?
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
Yes, this is a pretty routine procedure with a quick recovery.
What type of Dr. to choose
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
Many types of specialists can perform these procedures well. Look for a surgeon that performs the procedure frequently and can show you plenty of before and afters. Make sure the surgeon has hospital privileges for those procedures. This means that even though the procedure can be performed in the office, he has the qualifications and credentials to also perform it at a hospital.
Best surgery for me?
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Given your current height and weight, your BMI is at 36.3. This puts you in the moderately obese category. Ideally, your weight should be under 150 lbs, but you could undergo surgery once you are under 190 lbs. You should get a much better result with a tummy tuck and liposuction rather than liposuction alone. The more you can lose before your surgery, the better the result.
Mommy makeover and scuba diving
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
You should be able to resume normal activity, including exercise and scuba, after 6 weeks.
Payment
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
Hi Ashley! Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can usually be done shortly after a consultation. Keep in mind that the surgery can entail multiple procedures. Although labiaplasty and vaginal tightening are the most common procedures, some patients benefit from clitoral hood reduction, fat transfer, and PRP. Most plastic surgeons offer financing. It extremely difficult to get an insurance company to cover these surgeries.
Concerned
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Like many of my colleagues have already said, you can ask your surgeon for your operative report and implant registration card.
2 procedures
Tummy TuckMember Response:
It is common to perform a tummy tuck and arm lift at the same time. As a general rule any combination taking less than six hours and perform a certified surgical center is safe without any additional risks.
Ident in my stomach below my belly button
Tummy TuckMember Response:
It is difficult to give you advice without photos or more detailed description. It sounds like you may benefit from liposuction with or without BodyTite.
inverted nipple
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
An inverted nipple can easily be corrected with local anesthesia in the clinic. It takes about a week to heal and pain is not intense. #StayBeautiful @RealDrWorldWide
Do tummy tuck scars go away?
Tummy TuckMember Response:
All scars are permanent, but we can make tummy tuck scars thin and low enough to hide with a thin bikini or underwear.
