Selecting your surgeon is the most significant decision you will make. However, anesthesia and facility fees are an important consideration for many people. Here is some guidance. We Recommend that Your Surgery be Performed at Same-Day Surgery Centers. Your safety and comfort is of prime importance to us. Certainly aesthetic procedures can be performed in the office but for more involved surgeries an ambulatory surgical center offers distinct advantages. These Centers Adhere to a Strict Set of Medical Guidelines and Meet State Certification Requirements. The patient is assured of trained operating room staff, rigorous standards for sterile equipment and protocol, and medical backup support. The Undivided Attention of Two Physicians, Your Surgeon and Anesthesiologist, Helps Ensure the Best Possible Outcome. We prefer that your anesthetic by supervised by a doctor of anesthesia and a nurse anesthetist, rather that a nurse anesthetist alone. We believe that this provides an increased margin of security for you. This coverage enables us to focus all or our attention on the surgical intricacies so important to a good cosmetic result and leaves the sedation supervision to a doctor of anesthesia. The Safety Is Worth the Extra Dollars. We have negotiated with surgical centers so our aesthetic patients may enjoy a "package price" that is affordable without sacrificing quality of care.
