Plastic Surgery in Biloxi, MS

It is necessary to plan for plastic surgery as it involves preparation and recovery, not to mention the financial preparation. Because plastic surgery is considered elective and cosmetic, most insurance plans do not offer coverage, so the responsibility is on the patient to pay for the procedures. Additionally, preparing for and recovering from plastic surgery procedures takes planning from pre-operative appointments to arranging for transportation and someone to assist in post-surgery care. The more invasive procedures take more planning.

The type of anesthesia used during plastic surgery depends on the procedure to be performed. Most procedures are performed under general anesthesia.

General anesthesia. With general anesthesia, the person is put to sleep or simply rendered unconscious and does not feel anything. Medications are given intravenously and through inhalation. For more invasive procedures that take time, this is often the recommended anesthesia.

There is typically a recovery period after your plastic surgery procedure. The depth and length of recovery is contingent on the procedure performed. For the most part, it is typically recommended that you spend a few days resting so that the body can begin the healing process. Additionally, depending on the procedure, there may be some bruising and swelling that takes a few days or weeks to diminish. For more invasive and extensive procedures, you may want to schedule time away from work and someone to help at home if necessary.
