Last week we discussed more common general surgery procedures that can be performed with Cosmetic procedures.  What else can be done???  It is hard to come up with a complete list there are so many. 

Here are some suggestions:

Many people have a fear of needles.  While anesthesia is administered for other elective surgery, it is a great time to place dermal fillers in the nasolabial folds, marrionette lines, or even augment the lips.  Of course Botox can be injected as well.

More substantial procedures can be done as well.  Breast augmentation can be added to elective laparoscopic procedures such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, small laparoscopic hernia repairs, many gyn procedures and so on.  Of course if the primary procedure is being done due to infection or obstruction or other serious illness, this is not possible.

Laser skin resurfacing can be done while under general anesthesia for non-emergent procedures as well.  This allows the procedure to be done without the discomfort sometimes associated with resurfacing.  Light therapy for sun spots or closure of facial veins can also be done.

Arm reductions, small area liposuction, face work, injections, laser work, tummy tucks, breast augmentation can all be added to general surgical procedures when the procedure is purely elective. 

What are the advantages of combining procedures??  As we discussed last week, the advantages are many.  First of all, a single anesthesia is very advantageous, lowering risk by limiting the number of anesthetic exposures.  Secondly, a single surgical recovery is much better than multiple ones.  The recovery is simultaneous.

There it is, short and sweet.  Procedures can be combined if desired and safe.  Come see us at Total Body Surgical and we can discuss what is possible.  Call 918-786-7780 or fill out a contact form and we will call you!  Don't forget our special pricing on liposuction, lap bands, nail fungus, and fillers.
