Information and Expectations:
Cosmetic and Reconstructive body surgery is a personalized procedure, undertaken to correct unsightly blemishes, protrusions, sagging skin or flesh, remove excess fat or perform any other addition or "camouflaging" that is desired. It can be performed on people of most any age. Of course, the skill of the surgeon, and realistic expectations are the most important aspects of consideration for a successful outcome.

Surgery can help maintain your appearance, help reduce early signs of aging, and can involve reforming or reshaping various areas. Incisions are made where they can be well concealed. Most surgery can be performed as an outpatient, so you can return home immediately after the operation. Naturally all surgery has potential risks, like bleeding, infection and scarring. Fortunately, serious complications are quite rare when using a qualified surgeon well-experienced in their field.

For the most part, operations will be performed under general anesthetic. Local anesthesia, much like visiting your dentist, can be used on smaller procedures. Most normal activities can be resumed within 4-6 weeks, depending upon the improvement.

What will I benefit from the outcome? 
Cosmetic surgery can open up many new possibilities for changing your image.
Most people realize a strong change of attitude, and an increase in self-confidence.

Can I be assured of capable care?
Dr. Lisa Santos and her support staff provide the best possible care because they
have longtime experience in plastic surgical procedures. It is their goal to make
your experience a pleasant one.
