Early detection is key when it comes to skin conditions, including skin cancer. At A1 Doctors Surgery, we offer skin spot biopsies, ensuring that everyone has access to this essential diagnostic procedure. If you have a suspicious mole or skin lesion, our experienced doctors can do a skin check, and if needed we will follow up with a biopsy to accurately diagnose the condition and the appropriate treatment.

  • Applications: Skin cancer detection, diagnosis of suspicious moles or lesions
  • Benefits: No out-of-pocket costs for initial skin check, early detection of skin conditions
  • $30 biopsy fee for diagnostics

Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, helping to contour and shape your physique. While traditionally considered a surgical procedure, modern liposuction techniques can be minimally invasive, offering a quicker recovery and less discomfort. Our skilled practitioners perform liposuction to help you achieve your desired body contours with precision and care.

  • Applications: Body contouring, fat reduction in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms
  • Benefits: Improved body shape, minimal scarring, enhanced self-confidence

Risks and Complications of Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery, like all surgical procedures, involves potential risks and complications. Understanding these risks is essential for patients considering any cosmetic procedure, and it is important to have a comprehensive discussion with your surgeon before proceeding.

Common Risks and Complications:

  1. Infection: A potential risk with any surgery, even with antibiotics. Post-operative care can minimize this risk, but it cannot fully eliminate it.
  2. Bruising: Bruising around the surgical area is common due to blood leakage beneath the skin. It typically fades over weeks, though the extent varies by procedure and individual healing.
  3. Swelling: Swelling or edema is normal and usually peaks within 48 hours post-surgery. While most swelling decreases gradually, some may persist for weeks or months, especially for more extensive surgeries.
  4. Pain: Post-surgery pain is typical, with intensity depending on the procedure and individual pain tolerance. Pain management may include over-the-counter or prescription medications.
  5. Scarring: All surgeries result in scarring, which can vary in visibility based on procedure type and individual healing traits.
  6. Bleeding and Hematoma: A hematoma, or blood pocket, is a common complication in procedures like breast augmentation and facelifts, presenting as a large, painful bruise.
  7. Seroma: This condition, often associated with tummy tucks, involves serum pooling under the skin, causing swelling and discomfort.
  8. Nerve Damage: Numbness or tingling may occur, often temporary but potentially permanent in areas like the breast after augmentation surgery.
  9. Anesthesia Complications: Risks associated with anesthesia include minor issues like confusion to more serious complications such as lung infection, stroke, or cardiac arrest.
  10. Blood Clots: Surgical procedures can increase the risk of blood clots (DVT or PE), which may lead to severe health outcomes.
  11. Psychological Impact: The impact on self-esteem and mental health can be significant, and some may feel dissatisfaction, anxiety, or depression post-surgery.
  12. Unsatisfactory Results: Results may not meet patient expectations, and revisions may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
  13. Organ Damage: Procedures like liposuction carry a risk of internal injury to organs, potentially requiring additional surgery for repair.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

Adherence to your surgeon’s post-operative instructions is crucial. This may include taking prescribed medications, using cold compresses to manage swelling, elevating the treated area, and limiting physical activity. Recovery times vary widely depending on the procedure and individual factors.

Signs of Complications

Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience:

  • Severe or worsening pain
  • Excessive swelling
  • Bruising that doesn’t subside after two weeks
  • Any other unusual symptoms such as fever, severe tenderness, or signs of infection
