Office-based plastic surgery

Office-based plastic surgery began in the 1960s and has expanded exponentially since then. The majority of plastic surgeons now have their own office-based facilities, and every elective aesthetic procedure from hair transplantation to abdominoplasty and breast reduction can be done as an outpatient procedure with tremendous increases in efficiency, safety, and time. We started with a single room and have expanded to three operating rooms, two specific preoperative, postoperative private rooms, and a two-bedroom, curtained recovery area. Although the capital expenditure is high, the rewards in time, efficiency, and safety are great.
