Benefits of Combining Procedures
In San Diego, California
If you are considering several facial plastic surgery procedures, in many cases you have the option to get all the procedures done at the same time, or you can have them performed one at a time in succession. This is ultimately your decision, but there are a number of benefits to having your San Diego facial plastic surgery procedures performed together.
Convenience
If you have multiple cosmetic surgery procedures done at the same time, it can be much more convenient. Not only do you have only one surgery session. There are many inconveniences associated with surgery that can be minimized by having several procedures performed at once, including:
- Arranging transportation to and from surgery
- Setting up time off from work and other activities for recovery
- Getting prescription medications
- Avoiding going out until swelling and bruising go down
Because not only your surgery, but your recovery times overlap, you can change from several different recovery periods, each associated with avoiding public contact, prescription medications, and time spent resting away from work and other activities, into a single period. It also does not take much longer to recover from multiple procedures than it does from one, so you are essentially gaining days worth of usable time when you compound multiple cosmetic surgeries into a single session.
Cost
Because you do not have to pay for multiple anesthesia sessions and booking of the operating theater, and because your doctor saves time by conducting multiple cosmetic surgery procedures at the same time, the cost of having several surgeries performed at once is considerably less than having them performed in sequence. In addition, you will not need as many medications if you have multiple procedures performed at the same time, and you will lose less time away from work, meaning you will have less lost wages than for having the surgeries performed one after another. In addition, we have a number of specially priced combinations — such as our Laser and a Lift — for procedures commonly performed together, leading to even greater savings.
Efficacy
We know that many cosmetic procedures work together to give cosmetic improvement. In some cases, performing one without the other can lead to an unattractive result, so certain procedures are commonly combined for some patients, such as eyelid surgery and brow lift. However, if you are having your procedures performed in sequence, you will have an awkward interim procedure in which only one of the procedures has been performed. In addition, combining procedures allows our doctors to make sure the procedures are done in a complementary fashion.
Safety
In general, cosmetic surgery is very safe, but there is still some risk, and some of these risks are associated with just having the surgery performed. Risks related to anesthesia, infection, etc, are all reduced by having less surgery sessions. The only time combined procedures have greater risk is if you are trying to have too many procedures performed at once, which can put dangerous stress on the body, but at Moradi M.D., we will not allow you to put yourself in jeopardy.
