Where surgery is performed depends largely
on the surgeon. In terms of safety and results, no surgical
facility is inherently superior to any other.
The American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory
Surgical Facilities (http://www.aaaasf.org/)
gives accreditation to facilities that have established
and adopted standardized protocols and routines (similar
to those used in hospitals). These facilities have been
subjected to rigorous inspections that examine safety equipment
and procedures (like backup power and emergency medications),
office layout, staffing, record-keeping and a variety of
other issues. Therefore, you may want to add "Accreditation"
as something to consider when deciding on a Plastic Surgeon.
The photo above is of our state-of-the art operating room.
Here, the doctor, his anaesthesiologists, surgical techs
and nurses work to make our patients look their best.
The photo to the left is of our recovery room. This allows
each patient ample time to recover in comfort while the
anaesthesia wears off. Patients are fully supervised by
the doctor, his staff and our nurses until they are ready
to be taken home.
