Dr. Jeffrey Ditesheim and the Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery staff invite you to explore the possibility of looking as good as you feel. Having plastic surgery in Charlotte is a significant, life-changing decision. You deserve excellent medical care and natural-looking results. At our medical center, we prioritize the comfort and privacy of each patient in a warm and caring environment. Dr. Ditesheim works closely with his patients to create specific treatment plans and produce natural results.
During your consultation, you will discuss your cosmetic concerns and aesthetic goals. Dr. Ditesheim will take a medical history, analyze your body frame and structure, and discuss potential procedures. You will also talk about the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.
A good candidate for plastic surgery has no underlying medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications during or after surgery. These medical conditions could include heart disease, diabetes, or peripheral vascular disease. A good candidate also has reasonable expectations of the outcomes of plastic surgery procedures.
Finally, the ideal candidate does not smoke or must eliminate smoking for six weeks before and after surgery. Nicotine and tobacco increase the risk of complications from anesthesia, impair healing, and increase the risk of infection. This includes all delivery devices such as chewing tobacco, smoking, vaping, nicotine gum, and nicotine patches.
One of the most common plastic surgery procedures is liposuction. This can be done independently or combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. Liposuction is not a weight loss option but instead removes fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Other plastic surgery procedures that are also commonly requested by our patients in Charlotte include breast augmentation, gynecomastia, tummy tuck, and mommy makeover.
Plastic surgery is not typically covered by health insurance. However, there are some exceptions, including reconstructive surgery and eyelid surgery, when the results restore vision after excess tissue has been removed. In these cases, prior authorization is usually required. Speak with your insurance provider about the necessary documentation and receive prior approval before the procedure to increase the potential the insurance policy will help pay for the surgery.
The time it takes to recover varies depending on the procedure and the extent of the surgery. Generally, it can range from several days to several weeks. During your consultation, Dr. Ditesheim will discuss what you can expect during recovery, how to prepare, and postoperative instructions to reduce your risk of infection and ensure proper healing.
The results of plastic surgery can last many years. While plastic surgery can make permanent alterations, it cannot stop the natural aging process. In other words, after a breast lift procedure, you might find your breasts develop extra tissue and sag 10 to 15 years later. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, weight fluctuations can still cause fat deposits. Dr. Ditesheim can offer suggestions of lifestyle choices that will help to prolong the results of your Charlotte plastic surgery procedure.
Preparation is a key component in your recovery from plastic surgery. Dr. Ditesheim will give you specific postoperative instructions on how to care for yourself and your incisions. However, there are several steps you can take before surgery to make the process go smoothly.
Fill any medication prescriptions before surgery, so your first day home goes smoothly. Set up an area in your home where you can rest for a couple of days and are surrounded by the things you need, such as books, magazines, television, fresh water, and easy access to the bathroom. Fill your refrigerator with whole food or pre-made frozen meals, so eating a nutritious diet after surgery is easy with little cleanup.
If you have small children or pets, arrange for help for several days. Finally, most of the plastic surgeries we offer in Charlotte are outpatient procedures. However, you will not be able to drive yourself home. Arrange for a trusted friend or family member who can pick you up, drive you home, and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours.
