Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery FAQ's
What’s the difference between cosmetic & reconstructive surgery
?
Cosmetic surgery procedures are designed to reshape normal structures
of the body, and as a result, it improves one’s look and could possibly
increase their self-esteem. Reconstructive surgery procedures are designed
to treat abnormal structures of the body, which are caused either by congenital
defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease.
It is generally performed to improve the functions of these areas of the
body, but it can also help improve an individual’s appearance. Reconstructive
procedures.
Is there a right age to undergo plastic surgery ?
This depends on the procedure and is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Certain reconstructive surgery procedures have been performed on patients
of all ages, while certain procedures are recommended for more mature
patients. Consult with your plastic surgeon to determine if you are a
qualified candidate for the procedure you are considering.
Is Botox dangerous ?
Even though Botox is a formulation of botulinum toxin type A, it is sterilized
and purified for medical applications. Since Botox treatments are a non-surgical
procedure, the risks and possible complications are infrequent, minimal
and temporary. The most common reported side-effects are headaches, respiratory
infection, flu syndrome, temporary eye-lid droop, and nausea
What is Botox ?
Botox is a formulation of botulinum toxin type A, which is a protein produced
by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used as an injectable form
of sterile, purified botulinum toxin for medicinal purposes, small doses
of the toxin are injected into the affected muscles and block the release
of the chemical Acetylcholine, which signals the muscle to contract. The
toxin thus paralyzes or weakens the injected muscle. As a result, it prevents
new wrinkles from forming and improves the appearance of frown lines
Is Plastic Surgery dangerous ?
There is always the risk of complications occurring during the operation
and even after the operation. Each individual procedure has its share
of risks. Complications can be reduced significantly by choosing the right
doctor. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure you
are considering, please share these feelings with your surgeon.

Do you need anesthesia for plastic surgery ?
Almost all plastic surgery procedures require some form of anesthesia.
Check with your plastic surgeon as to which anesthesia he or she will
use during your operation
When can I go back to work ?
The recovery period depends upon the procedure performed and it varies
from patient to patient. For certain procedures, individuals can go back
work within a couple of days and some procedures takes a week or longer
for individuals to recover
Are the scars visible ?
This depends upon the procedure that is performed. For certain procedures,
such as breast augmentation, the doctor makes every effort to place the
incisions in areas where the resulting scars are not so visible. There
are some scars that appear to be non-existent. Then there are some scars
that become light and nearly invisible as they heal, however they never
fully disappear.
How many procedures can I have at the same time ?
Multiple procedures are done at the surgeon’s discretion. Having
multiple procedures performed at the same time is less expensive than
having them performed individually. The benefit of doing multiple areas
at one time is that you take advantage of the operating room. You have
already paid for the anesthesia and hospital fees. Having the procedure
performed separately means you have to pay for these expenses again. Also,
doing all the procedures at one time can allow you to only have to take
one vacation from work for recovery. However, there is increased risk
of complications. For example, by having multiple procedures performed,
the patient risks having a prolonged exposure to general anesthesia. Consult
with your surgeon if you are considering having multiple procedures.
Does insurance cover plastic surgery ?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by health insurance. There are
some exceptions, including rhinoplasty used for reconstructive purposes
or to improve breathing. Another example is having blepharoplasty in order
to improve your vision. However, check with your insurance provider and
your surgeon to see if your procedure is covered. |
