ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY

Plastic surgery combines the science of surgery and artistry to achieve an improvement in form and function. The best candidates are well balanced individuals who have realistic expectations and understand the goals of their procedure. All surgeries carry some uncertainty and risk. Consequently, when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are minimized. People vary greatly in their anatomy, life style, and healing abilities. Thus results can vary accordingly. Anesthesia, whether local, sedation, general, or a combination, is chosen for the particular procedure so that the individual is most comfortable and safe while the surgeon strives for the best outcome efficiently. The result is not always evident shortly after surgery. It is at that time that the body begins the healing process which always takes several months.
