- ArthritisWe are routinely asked about the safety of silicone breast implants by our Keller, Southlake and Fort Worth, Texas patients. In early 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a moratorium on the use of silicone breast implants until further investigation was performed to verify the safety of these devices. Over the next 15 years, large clinical trials were performed to address the FDA’s concerns. Many of the more serious concerns of silicone implants, such as causing collagen vascular diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, were disproven. Other claims however had strong merit. Among these claims was that when these early liquid-filled silicone devices ruptured they could cause hardening of the breast and leaking into the tissues of the breast. These observations led to the conscience development and use of our current cohesive gel implants. These breast implants are filled with a silicone gel rather than liquid silicone to reduce migration. Finally, in November 2006, the FDA approved wider use of these silicone gel breast implants.
- Medical Weight LossMassive weight loss provides a number of long-term health and lifestyle benefits, but it also can result in stretched, sagging skin.
- Primary CareDr. Rumalla also enjoys staying intimately involved with skin cancer treatment and reconstruction. To provide outstanding cancer reconstruction to patients in the greater Keller, Fort Worth, and Southlake area, we work with dozens of the area’s primary care doctors and dermatologists. Together, we provide care for some of the most challenging skin cancer cases, where the deficits require precise and artistic reconstruction to preserve form and function.
- Emergency CareDr. Rumalla grew up in Arlington and after completing his near decade of training, he was excited to come home to Tarrant County. Today we have locations in Fort Worth, Keller, and Southlake. Dr. Rumalla did not simply return to North Texas because it was a great place to practice cosmetic surgery, but because he was excited to return to the community and provide meaningful medical services. To this end, Dr. Rumalla still voluntarily takes emergency room calls for facial trauma at Cook Children’s Hospital and Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital Trauma Center. Additionally, Dr. Rumalla enjoys helping Tarrant County residents by performing breast and skin cancer reconstruction. Dr. Rumalla likes to bring his sense of artistry and balance to cancer reconstruction throughout Keller, Fort Worth and Southlake.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryPatients should avoid undergoing any type of plastic surgery for at least six months after childbirth. The body needs time to recover from pregnancy and birth, and six months is typically a sufficient amount of time.
- Multiple SclerosisI have multiple sclerosis and my stomach was severely scarred from giving myself copaxone shots in my abdominal area. Even though I was in my late 50’s, I still wanted to wear a bikini but I was self conscious because of my ugly stomach SO I found Dr. Rumalla and he did my abdominoplasty. I can’t express enough how wonderful an experience I had. From the consultation to the last checkup after my surgery, he and his staff were so very personable and professional. Dr. Rumalla far exceeded my expectations in every way. Besides my tummy looking absolutely spectacular, he is also extremely friendly and caring with an excellent bedside manner and I was so impressed that he personally came to my room to get me out of bed to help me walk my first steps post- surgery. I highly recommend him. Don’t go to anyone else … Dr. Rumalla is your man ! View on Google
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundUltrasound-assisted lipo uses ultrasonic energy to break down fat cells prior to removal and increase our plastic surgeon's precision while contouring the area of your body.
- MammographyAlong with a busy cosmetic breast practice, we devote a significant portion of our practice to breast reconstruction. At our practice serving Keller, Fort Worth, and Southlake, we prefer the use of silicone breast implants in breast reconstruction because of superior feel characteristics. We also remind patients who are undergoing breast augmentation that in the submuscular position, which Dr. Rumalla prefers, there is no change in the detection of breast cancer with mammography. This technique also reduces visibility and capsular contracture of the breast (hardening of the breast). A special view called an implant displacement view will be done at the time of mammography.
- General SurgeryAfter medical school, he completed his general surgery training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey at Rutgers University and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. Finally, he completed his plastic surgery fellowship at Indiana University and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Throughout his travels during his education and training, Dr. Rumalla has always been set on coming home and practicing in Tarrant County.
- Wound Care
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryAdvanced Technology To optimize your results, our surgeon utilizes emerging technologies like video imaging, endoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery), non-invasive technologies, and pain pumps, which can dramatically reduce post-operative discomfort.
- Reconstructive SurgeryThe major risks of any breast enhancement or implant reconstructive surgery include bleeding, infection, capsular contracture (hardening of the breasts), and rupture of the implant. Each risk has a very low probability and patients are closely followed post-operatively to minimize them. The Mentor Memory Gel line of implants has a limited lifetime warranty in the event of a rupture including product replacement.

- Brow LiftIf time has caught up with your forehead, a brow lift can give you a refreshed, youthful appearance. At our Keller, Forth Worth, and Southlake, Texas practice, we can help you achieve the look of your dreams.
- Eyelid SurgeryA facelift incision is designed so that it can be naturally hidden in the crease in front and continuing behind the ear. In our Keller practice, Dr. Rumalla prefers to perform a facelift procedure which involves both skin and muscle repositioning and tightening. We believe that the combined skin and muscle facelift technique lasts longer. Dr. Rumalla performs a facelift under general anesthesia at our surgery center or at the hospital. The procedure typically takes three hours when performed alone and patients are encouraged to stay overnight. Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are a brow lift, to correct a sagging brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate your eyes. We want your look to be both refreshing and flattering. Most people are able to wear makeup in five days and can be back at a desk job in one week. Full recovery takes up to a few weeks with scars continuing to mature over several months. Please click on the 3D video link to see 3D virtual animation of various facelift techniques. Because of the inability to protect our patients’ identity, there are no before-or-after facial procedures on the website and Dr. Rumalla will be happy to show you pictures during a personal consultation.
