First Steps
Is Plastic Surgery Safe?
We take every precaution necessary to reduce the possibility of any complications.
All surgical procedures are accompanied by a degree of risk, whether the procedures are for medical or cosmetic reasons. We carefully review your medical history and current health condition before deciding if it is safe for us to proceed with your surgery. It is important you fully disclose all important information so we are able to make an
accurate assessment of the risks involved.
How do you know if surgery is right for you?
There are several important factors that come into play when deciding whether plastic surgery is the right option for you. One of the most important factors is your health. Being in good health reduces the risk of complications occurring during surgery and can help lead to a successful recovery.
You should have realistic expectations. Set reasonable goals as to the result you wish to achieve and be prepared to thoroughly discuss these goals during your initial consultation.
Can you have several procedures performed simultaneously?
It is a relatively common practice for a plastic surgeon to perform more than one procedure during one operation. If that course of action is deemed appropriate and safe, it may save you the expense of paying for the operating room and anesthesia costs more than once.
However, it is possible that having more than one procedure at a time may lead to increased risk of complications.
The decision to have multiple procedures done simultaneously depends on which procedures are being done, the extent of surgery, the operating time, and your age/health.
Ultimately, the surgeon will decide whether or not it is appropriate to include more than one procedure in your operation. This decision will always based on the safety of the patient.
