Our physicians Frequently Asked Questions Who is a candidate for plastic surgery? Plastic surgery is a personal decision and should not be sought to please somebody else, or because you feel it will make all of your problems go away. Plastic surgery can help improve self image, but patients who have surgery to reverse a recent life crisis or to treat an underlying depression, or suffer from body dysmorphic disorder are poor candidates for surgery, and are likely to be displeased with their results. Patients with multiple medical problems, such as heart or lung disease or diabetes, are often poor candidates for surgery and at higher risk for serious surgical complications. Where Will My Surgery Take Place? Most plastic surgery procedures we offer are performed at our outpatient surgical center, the UF Health Florida Surgical Center , conveniently located on Hull Road in Gainesville. In fact, most plastic surgery procedures are considered ‘outpatient’ and do not require an overnight stay in the hospital. Your anesthesia will be administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist rather than a nurse. We feel this approach is much safer and further ensures your surgery will occur without any major complications.Once the procedure is complete and your anesthesia has adequately worn off, you will be able to return home to continue your recovery. If your procedure requires an overnight stay for observation and recovery, it will occur at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville. This renowned institution is considered one of the best, most technologically advanced surgical facilities in not only Florida, but the U.S. How does a physician become a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Training to become a plastic surgeon is a difficult task. While numerous physicians use the term plastic,” only those certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are true plastic surgeons. To become board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery a physician must complete a specialized post-graduate training course of five to seven years after medical school. Background training usually includes a thorough grounding in general surgery. However, a background in ENT or orthopedics may be acceptable. The final two to three years of training must be in an approved plastic surgery residency program. Prior to official certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery the physician must pass a rigorous set of both written and oral examinations. What is the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)? Our physicians are members or candidate-members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which was founded in 1931. It is the largest organization of board certified plastic surgeons in the world. The mission of ASPS is to advance quality care to plastic surgery patients by encouraging high standards of training, ethics, physician practice and research in plastic surgery. The society advocates for patient safety, and also works in concert with the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation (PSEF), founded in 1948, which supports research and educational...
