Plastic surgery is a combination of art and science. Cosmetic plastic surgery, in particular, requires meticulous technique, basic surgical principle, and the surgeon’s tasteful creativity combined to result in the ultimate pleasing outcome.
Our practice was established in 1990. Dr. Rodgers is Board Certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Inc. Our office staff is trained to answer questions and to care for the plastic surgery patient. We believe our patients should be informed and knowledgeable in all aspects of the procedure they have chosen.
We look forward to working with you, answering your questions and helping you look and feel your very best!
Cosmetic Procedures
The term 'plastic' or 'cosmetic surgery' actually covers a variety of surgical and chemical procedures which alter the body's outward appearance. Procedures are used to shape certain body parts such as the breast or nose, to soften skin tone reducing or eliminating wrinkles, and to correct problems resulting from either accident or disease.
Plastic surgery procedures are generally safe and relatively painless when performed by an experienced surgeon, although each procedure is different. As with all surgical procedures, there are certain degrees of risk and uncertainty. During an initial consultation we will discuss your procedure with you in detail, describing the realistic potential outcome and any possible risks involved.
Many procedures are performed using local anesthesia while others are performed with general anesthesia or intravenous sedation by a Board Certified anesthesiologist who is hand chosen by Dr. Rodgers. Certain procedures will require general anesthesia. The decision concerning the type of anesthesia to be used will be discussed with you during your initial consultation. Most of our surgeries are performed at Rose Medical Center which offers state-of-the-art care in a full service hospital at special prices for our cosmetic patients. The safety and well being of our patients is emphasized during the pre, peri and post operative periods.
