Dr. Bafitis has been a national spokesman for acellular dermal matrices (ADM) since September 2010.  He has spoken at numerous plastic surgical and general surgical enclaves and seminars, sharing his experience with ADMs, not only in breast reconstruction but in hernia repair and simultaneous body contouring and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

His lecturing has brought him into the forefront of the latest techniques in breast reconstruction and abdominal wall reconstruction as well as aesthetic balance with both these procedures.

November 2011 Dr. Bafitis spoke to the National Society of Cosmetic Physicians about his BILA (Bafitis Integrated Liposculpture Abdominoplasty) procedure.

Dr. Bafitis has taken this surgery to a new level with his “BILA” procedure. By combining liposculpture, fat grafting, circumferential tightening, and abdominoplasty, this procedure can now be done with only IV sedation, or in selected patients monitored “awake” sedation. Patients no longer have to be bent forward for weeks and have worries about excessive tension at the incision line. The patient is usually up and walking within a few days (24-48 hours).

Don’t trust the most difficult cosmetic procedure to someone less than an expert in the field. Read more about the BILA procedure.
