Rapid recovery following facial plastic surgery is more than just a procedure. Dr. Romo's philosophy is that rapid recovery is a global process in managing patients in their pre operative, intra-operative, and post-operative settings, which leads to a rapid recovery from their elective aging face surgery.
Each of these tenets is thoroughly covered by Dr. Romo and his staff to produce a superior result with quicker recovery time following their facial surgery. First is the pre-operative evaluation. During this process Dr. Romo completely explains the planned facial plastic procedures including risks and complications. He answers all the patients' questions and provides computer imaging if requested by the patient. Surgical candidates are requested to refrain from using products that increase bleeding and therefore bruising two weeks prior to surgery. These include aspirin and aspirin containing compounds, Ibuprofen and Ibuprofen containing compounds, high dose vitamin E, the "G" herbs, such as ginseng, garlic and ginkgo biloba and St. John's wart. All patients are cleared by their medical doctor to be sure that they are healthy enough for elective facial surgery. Patients are provided with holistic medicines, e.g. arnica montana and bromelain to prevent bruising and swelling.
Dr. Romo believes this comprehensive approach to the pre operative patient lessens their anxiety and fears which produces a calmer experience and rapid recovery. The intra operative experience is where Dr. Romo shines. He is one of the innovators in minimally invasive pro cedures for aging face surgery. He designed many of the newer surgical techniques and actual instrument sets utilized for endoscopic facial rejuvenation surgery. This modern minimally invasive approach means smaller incisions are made and therefore less surgery is being performed. This meticulous technique leads to a more natural, longer lasting result and provides for a rapid recovery following elective aging face surgery.
Attentive post-operative care means all patients are closely monitored and watched by an experienced group of plastic surgery nurses for at least the first 24 hours after surgery. This type of nurturing care not only allows the patient to feel more comfortable in the post-operative setting but provides a safeguard and early intervention system to prevent small problems from becoming major problems.
Again, Dr. Romo believes that this global approach to the facial plastic surgery patient improves the total experience and provides for a rapid recovery.
