Consultations with plastic surgeons during surgery


Published on : 03-27-2023


Dr. Carlos Chacon believes that plastic surgeon discussions during surgery are a crucial step in the healing process. These discussions take occur during the process and enable the plastic surgeon to make decisions about the procedure based on the anatomy of the patient and the way the surgery is going.


The plastic surgeon will assess the patient's anatomy and the status of the procedure during the consultation to decide the best course of action. To guarantee the greatest outcome for the patient, this may entail changing the surgical strategy, applying different procedures, or tweaking the current technique.


The ability for the plastic surgeon to handle any unforeseen concerns that may develop during the procedure is one of the consultations' main advantages. For instance, an intraoperative consultation may be required to decide how to best proceed with the treatment if the surgeon runs into unforeseen scar tissue.


During intraoperative conversations, plastic surgeons can also make choices that will lessen scarring and enhance the procedure's overall cosmetic result. The surgeon can make choices that will provide the patient the best outcome by carefully assessing the anatomy of the patient and the surgical process.


Intraoperative consultations provide a number of difficulties, including the need for a surgeon with extensive training and experience. It's crucial for patients to select a surgeon with substantial expertise in performing intraoperative consultations because not all surgeons are equally adept in this field.


The fact that intraoperative consultations take up a lot of time and resources is another difficulty. The consultation process may take longer than expected, increasing the surgery's overall time and cost.


In conclusion, the procedure of plastic surgery requires the input of plastic surgeons during the operation. Informed judgments can be made during these consultations depending on the anatomy of the patient and the status of the procedure, which can reduce scarring and enhance the procedure's overall cosmetic result.
