Plastic Surgery Articles

In my practice I am often asked, “Is it possible to have more than one surgery at the same time?” Over the last several years more and more patients come to the office with more than one concern that they would like to address at the same time. For many years, plastic surgeons have been combining facial rejuvenation surgical procedures because as we all know, humans don’t age 1 facial part at a time. Often times eyelid surgery and facelift surgery are combined with other rejuvenation surgical procedures because they can be done safely, the patients are recovering at one time, and they end up with a more harmonious result. As long as sound judgment and safety is taken into consideration, then even larger operations on the body can be accomplished in one operative visit. Preoperative screening should always be completed prior to an operation of larger magnitude or one that takes more time. Also make sure that you are choosing a plastic surgeon with proper credentials and plenty of experience.
