Everything You Need to Know About Plastic Surgery

Medical Assessment:

Before any surgery, a thorough medical assessment is crucial. Our surgeons will review your complete medical history, including current medications, allergies, and previous medical conditions. They may order blood tests, imaging, or other diagnostics to evaluate your overall health. Be honest and provide accurate information to facilitate proper planning.

Research:

Do your homework about the procedure and your surgeon at Advanced Aesthetics Wellness. Understand the risks and benefits of whatever procedure you want to undergo. Rest assured, our surgeons are board-certified and have significant experience in the field.

Physical Health:

We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep. Together, these contribute to your overall well-being and help you recover faster post-surgery.

Smoking Cessation:

Smoking can interfere with your body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of postoperative complications, so it is important not to smoke at least six weeks before surgery. This will improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote a more favorable healing environment.

Hydration:

Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Adequate hydration is essential for blood circulation, tissue repair, and overall well-being. Aim for eight glasses of water per day and increase your intake on the day of surgery.

Skin Care:

If your surgery involves a skin incision, take special care of the area in the weeks leading up to the procedure. Cleanse the skin gently with antibacterial soap and avoid applying lotions or oils that could interfere with sterile preparation.

Psychological Preparation:

Keep your mental health in check. Acknowledge and process your feelings openly with your surgeon and support system. Set realistic expectations for the outcome of your procedure and speak with a mental health professional if you feel overly anxious.

Home Preparation:

Get your home ready for your recovery by stocking up on easy-to-prepare meals and necessary supplies like ice packs and gauze. Make sure that you have a comfortable space to rest and recover.

By adhering to these preoperative guidelines, you can significantly improve your chances of a successful plastic surgery experience and accelerate your recovery. Remember, the key to a successful plastic surgery lies in preparation, understanding the procedure, and following your surgeon’s advice.

At Advanced Aesthetics Wellness, we often receive inquiries about the possibility of undertaking multiple plastic surgery procedures in one surgical session, often referred to as combination plastic surgery. This approach is quite appealing due to the potential for increased efficiency and cost savings.

Here are some Factors to Consider:

Patient’s Health: Your health is of utmost importance. Therefore, a comprehensive health evaluation is carried out to ensure the patient is in a suitable condition to withstand the stress of multiple procedures. This is important because multiple procedures increase surgical time and recovery period, potentially straining the patient’s physical endurance.

Surgical Complexity: Depending on the nature and complexity of procedures, we advise on the feasibility of combining them. For instance, less invasive procedures like skin tightening and laser hair removal, which are part of our service offerings, can often be safely combined. However, merging extensive procedures might not be advisable due to increased surgical risks, recovery time, and potential complications.

Anesthetic Time: Most plastic surgery procedures require general anesthesia. The total time for combined procedures is crucial, as longer surgeries increase the risk of complications related to anesthesia.

Wound Management: Since combining procedures results in multiple wounds, this scenario can create challenges for proper wound dressing, monitoring, and infection prevention – something we prioritize highly.

Recovery Period: A significant factor to consider is that combining procedures prolongs the recovery period. However, some people prefer to have all their procedures done at once to minimize downtime.

Some Potential Benefits include:

• Reduced Time off Work: Undergoing multiple procedures at once can minimize the total time away from work or other activities.
• Cost Savings: Combining procedures can result in reduced overall surgical fees compared to scheduling separate surgeries.
• Enhanced Results: In some cases, simultaneous procedures can improve the overall aesthetic outcome and reduce the need for future revisions.

At Advanced Aesthetics Wellness, the decision to undergo multiple plastic surgery procedures at the same time requires a thorough consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons. They will evaluate the patient’s individual circumstances, discuss the potential benefits and risks, and provide tailored recommendations based on their expertise.

Our team of medical professionals is experienced in performing a wide range of cosmetic procedures, aimed at enhancing your appearance and boosting your self-confidence. As these procedures are elective and often not covered by insurance, we offer various financing options to help make your aesthetic goals more attainable.

While our focus is primarily on cosmetic procedures, we also value the importance of reconstructive surgery in improving the quality of life for individuals affected by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease. Although we don’t offer reconstructive surgery, we can guide you in understanding its purpose and process and can provide referrals to trusted professionals in the field if needed.
