About Your Surgery

A comfortable waiting area will be provided for your family and friends – while you relax in a quiet, restful preoperative room during preparatory sedation. You will then be transported to a fully equipped operating room.

Anesthesia, when needed, is performed or supervised by a physician who regularly work at our facility. The most modern equipment and monitoring devices are utilized – and the physician will also oversee your recovery following general anesthesia.

Upon your discharge from the recovery area, your family members will be instructed on what to expect and any assistance you may need upon returning home. This meeting will take place in a patient-family conference room. Following this, you and your family will be free to return home.

If you have any questions about your surgery, please contact Associates in Plastic Surgery.
