Yes. Every journey starts with a personalized consultation. We take our time to understand your goals, health history, and aesthetic desires before recommending a treatment or program that will help you attain your desired result — because you deserve more than a one off treatment.
-
Your first consultation is a thoughtful, one-on-one experience. Dr. Guberman will review your goals, medical history, and concerns, followed by a detailed evaluation. You'll leave with a customized treatment plan, answers to all your questions, and a clear path forward—whether you're considering surgery or non-invasive options.

Signature Surgical Programs (like tummy tucks, facelifts, breast surgeries)
Non-Surgical Programs (body sculpting, acne treatments, facials, injectables)
Skincare Systems (custom routines with medical-grade products)
Each program is designed to deliver visible, long-term results while supporting your body before, during, and after treatment.
-
Each program includes a combination of high-quality treatments (surgical or non-surgical), advanced technologies, post-treatment care, medical-grade skincare, and exclusive perks like yearly follow-ups. Think of it as a luxurious roadmap — not just to results, but to lasting confidence.
-
No — we do not recommend having cosmetic breast surgery while breastfeeding. At Clinique DSG, we advise waiting at least one full year after you’ve finished breastfeeding before undergoing procedures such as breast lifts, augmentations, or reductions.
This gives your breast tissue, skin, and hormone levels time to stabilize — which is essential for optimal results and safe healing. Having surgery too soon can lead to complications, shifting outcomes, and the need for revisions down the line.
Every patient is different, so we always recommend coming in for a personalized consultation with Dr. Guberman. He’ll assess your current condition, timeline, and goals to guide you on the best path forward.
-
Yes — if you're planning to lose a significant amount of weight, it's best to reach your goal (or get close to it) before undergoing surgery. This is especially important for procedures like tummy tucks, liposuction, and body lifts, where your current weight and body composition directly impact your results.
Losing weight after surgery can sometimes lead to loose skin or affect the shape achieved by the procedure. At Clinique DSG, we recommend being at a stable, healthy weight for at least 6 months before your operation to ensure optimal and long-lasting results. During your consultation, Dr. Guberman will assess your goals and guide you on the best timeline.
-
Smoking significantly increases the risks associated with surgery, including poor wound healing, infection, and complications with anesthesia. At Clinique DSG, we strongly recommend that patients stop smoking at least 4–6 weeks before and after surgery to ensure the safest possible outcome. In some cases, your procedure may be delayed or canceled if you are still smoking, as it directly affects your ability to heal properly and can compromise results.
If you're a smoker considering surgery, our team can guide you through a pre-surgical plan to help reduce risks and improve recovery.

Am I a candidate for the T&T Program?
If you’re struggling with loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), or lower belly fat that won’t go away despite working out, you might be the perfect candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). This program is ideal for individuals seeking both a flatter stomach and improved core strength after pregnancy or significant weight loss. If you're in good health and want long-lasting, sculpted results, book a free consultation to explore if the T&T Program is the right fit.
Am I a candidate for the Goddess Program (Mommy Makeover Surgery)?
If pregnancy changed your body in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t fix — such as sagging breasts, a stretched tummy, or stubborn fat in new places — this mommy makeover might be exactly what you need. You may be a candidate if you’re done having children, in good general health, and looking to restore your pre-baby confidence through breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Let’s map out a plan together during your complimentary consultation.
Am I a candidate for the Perfect Pair Program (Breast Augmentation Surgery)?
If you’re interested in breast augmentation with implants to enhance your breast size, correct asymmetry, or restore volume lost from aging or pregnancy, this program was designed with you in mind. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, emotionally ready for surgery, and have realistic expectations about implant size and shape. Whether you’re considering a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, we’ll help you choose the perfect fit for your body and lifestyle.
Am I a candidate for the Hourglass Program (Liposuction of Abdomen and Flanks)?
If you’re close to your goal weight but still have stubborn fat around the abdomen, waist, or flanks, this liposuction-based body contouring program is designed to give you a sleeker, more defined silhouette. You're likely a great candidate if your skin is still relatively firm, and you're looking for long-term fat removal — not just weight loss. We’ll walk you through every step of the process during your one-on-one consultation.
Am I a candidate for the Lift & Restore Program (Breast Lift or Reduction Surgery)?
If you experience sagging breasts, discomfort, or back and shoulder pain due to breast weight, this program offers breast lift (mastopexy) or breast reduction surgery tailored to your needs. It’s ideal if you want to improve breast shape, relieve physical symptoms, and feel more balanced. Whether you’re seeking lifted, youthful contours or pain-free movement, we’ll help you find the best solution during your personalized consultation.
Am I a candidate for the Scarless Program (Scar Revision Surgery + Laser Treatment)?
If you have visible or raised scars — from surgery, injury, or acne — that impact your confidence or comfort, you might be an excellent candidate for scar revision surgery combined with laser scar treatment. Whether you want to improve texture, color, or reduce tightness, this program blends advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques to help restore your skin. Scars should be fully healed (6+ months old) to qualify. Let’s talk about your options during a private consultation.
Am I a candidate for the Flex Program (Brachioplasty / Arm Lift Surgery)?
If you’ve lost weight or simply have loose, hanging skin on your upper arms, you may benefit from arm lift surgery (brachioplasty). This program is ideal if you're in good health, have stable weight, and want firmer, more youthful-looking arms. We'll assess skin elasticity and your overall aesthetic goals to determine if this program is right for you.
Am I a candidate for the Legs to Love Program (Thigh Lift Surgery)?
If sagging skin on your inner or outer thighs causes discomfort or affects how you feel in clothing, you may be a strong candidate for thigh lift surgery. This procedure is often chosen after significant weight loss or due to natural aging and genetics. If you're seeking smoother, firmer thighs and long-term contour improvement, we’ll walk you through your options during a private consultation.
Am I a candidate for the Bright Eyes Program (Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery)?
If droopy eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags make you look tired or affect your vision, the Bright Eyes Program offers upper blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to refresh and restore your eye area. This treatment is ideal for individuals who want a more awake, youthful appearance or to remove visual obstruction caused by heavy lids. You’re likely a candidate if you’re healthy and seeking long-lasting improvement in your eye contour.
Am I a candidate for the Timeless Lift Program (Facelift & Neck Lift Surgery)?
If you’ve noticed sagging in your cheeks, jawline, or neck and want natural-looking rejuvenation without looking “done,” the Timeless Lift Program offers a full facelift and neck lift for graceful, age-defying results. Ideal for clients typically aged 40–70+ who want to restore youthful volume and definition, this surgical transformation provides lasting results. Schedule a consultation to learn how we tailor every facelift to your unique features.
Am I a candidate for the 360 Lift Program (Full Body Lift Surgery)?
If you've lost a significant amount of weight and now struggle with excess, hanging skin around your abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks, you may be a perfect candidate for a 360 body lift surgery. This full-body contouring procedure is ideal for those who have achieved massive weight loss and want to complete their transformation with skin tightening and body reshaping. We’ll assess your health, skin condition, and goals to determine your readiness for this life-changing procedure.
