Dr. Dean Kane Q & A

 
Q.  Do chronic diseases such as kidney and lung disease rule you out as a candidate for a face lift? How about breast augmentation?
A.  ​With spectacular medical innovations and new drugs, increasing numbers of people are living with chronic diseases who have may have had shorter lives years ago.

​Surgical techniques and devices have improved and are available for medically optimized individuals.

​Surgery and procedures which require local, sedation and general anesthetics offer a safe positive experience for the majority of elective cosmetic procedures.

​​There are many considerations, costs, recovery time and other factors to review. There are many, many patients who proceed with positively reaching their desires and goals.
​​
​A well experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and your Primary Care Physician must evaluate you, optimize your medical condition(s) and if the risk / benefit ratio is reasonable proceed recognizing this DOES NOT mean no risk.


​I hope this was helpful.

​All the best!
