Dr. Lucas Carneiro warns about the limits of combined plastic surgeries

Why several procedures on the same day are not always the safest choice, how new São Paulo medical-board guidance on long elective surgeries changes planning, and how the Plastic Surgery for Patients Method organizes the journey into Planning, Procedure and Recovery.

“Safety is not only about operating time. It is the surgeon’s qualification, the team, the hospital, thrombosis prevention and the whole post-operative care working together.”
