A Brand New Web Log
Welcome to the bLog of the practice of Dr. Orloff and the Buena Vista Surgery Center in Burbank.
This blog will be the more interactive companion to Dr. Orloff’s official web site. Here you will be able to read through articles and notes by the team and you will have the option to leave comments and thus start a dialog.
We want to start out this blog with two of the most often asked question when plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is involved.
How do cosmetic surgery procedures differ from surgeries for medical reasons?
The one main difference is the fact that cosmetic surgery is elective. Once the patient has made the decision to improve him or herself, it causes a positive mental attitude. With this the compliance with all doctor’s recommendations improves, and speed of recovery as well as a successful outcome are statistically greater when the patient is highly motivated.
How long will I need to recover after my surgery?
Recovery times vary depending on several factors. Different procedures will require different recovery times. Then there is the age and health of the patient to be considered as well as the skill of the doctor. An experienced physician can usually provide a fairly accurate estimate based on the above-mentioned criteria during the initial consultation. Recovery time has been dramatically reduced by use of the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
