What to Expect During Surgery
Dr.
Black is a firm believer in giving you the best care possible. Plastic surgical
procedures are medical procedures. As such, your best care will be found in a
hospital and outpatient setting. Our focus is on you, giving you the best care
available.
Preparing for
surgery requires that you take several preliminary steps. Download this
page for your convenience in following the checklist.
Going
to the hospital operating room is obviously not a normal experience for most of
us. Dr. Black and his staff recognize the natural anxiety with which most
patients approach this step in the process of achieving their goals. We believe
a description of the surgery experience will help to be fully prepared for it.
Your surgery will usually be
performed at The Nebraska Medical Center or Clarkson West Outpatient Surgical
Center. Specialists using the most modern equipment and techniques will attend
to you. This team includes anesthesia personnel, a trained surgical assistant,
and nurse who will assist Dr. Black. A registered nurse is in charge of the
operating room. All are proud to maintain the standards of The Nebraska Medical
Center.
Once
you enter the operating suite, the staff will do everything they can do to make
you feel secure. You will feel comfortable and the anesthesia personnel will
start an intravenous drip your arm. Medicines that will make you drowsy will
flow through the tubing into a vein in your arm. At the same time, to ensure
your safety, you will remain connected to monitoring devices.
We
offer a list
of medications that should be discontinued 10 days prior to surgery. Only
Tylenol should be taken for pain. Dr. Black must, specifically clear all other
medications that you are currently taking, prior to surgery.
What to Expect After Surgery
When
your surgery has been completed and your dressings are in place, you will be
moved to the recovery room. You will constantly be connected to monitoring
equipment, and during this period, fully trained recovery room nurses will
remain with you at all times. These nurses are certified for advance cardiac
life support. You can be confident that you will be well cared for in the
recovery room.
When
your initial recovery is completed and all of your vital signs are stable, you
will transported back to your room or released with a family member or friend.
Most
people have very little memory about their stay in the recovery room.
