OUTPATIENT PLASTIC SURGERY

Outpatient, or office surgery, provides a safer and in many cases, less costly, alternative to inpatient hospital surgery. It can also improve the efficiency in the delivery of medical care with increased convenience and privacy. Additionally, it provides you with care by people with whom you are familiar, and who know you and your needs well.

The Plastic Surgery Suite in our office combines the medical capabilities and expertise of in-hospital surgery with the convenience of an outpatient unit. The result is a streamlining of surgical services and a reduction in cost to you, the patient. Our Plastic Surgery Suite has up-to-date equipment and is staffed by trained professionals under Dr. Strausser’s direction. Our unit consists of fully equipped operating and preparation rooms with the capabilities of handling multiple surgical procedures daily, and all emergencies. It is one of the few certified and approved by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).

Surgery performed in the office is done with the same care and quality as that performed in the hospital. Our ability to perform your surgery in the office will depend on the particular procedure you will be having, as well as your own health, medical history and desires. The primary concern is for your health and well-being, and, of course, in cosmetic cases – the maximal improvement possible in your appearance.

A full discussion of the surgical and facility alternatives will be made during the planning stages of your procedure. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them. We strive to make sure our patients are well informed and well treated.
