Drs. Kaplan and Yee offer the latest advance in cosmetic surgery.  Many of the procedures previously and still only offered elsewhere by general and or intravenous anesthesia, can be performed with local or tumescent anesthesia.  What this means to you is a safer procedure, more affordable, and with an easier recovery.  Did you know that between 2000 and 2007 in Florida alone, there have been at least 20 deaths associated with procedures performed by board certified plastic surgeons?   There have been over 150 more hospitalizations.  During this same period there have been no reported deaths associated with local anesthesia cosmetic surgery.  So why accept more risk, more expense and a more difficult post-operative period if it is not necessary?  In 2004, Dr. Kaplan was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery for under the muscle breast augmentation using only local or tumescent anesthesia.  New associate, Dr. Kin Yee, D.O., a board certified surgeon, works with Dr. Kaplan to provide breast augmentation, tummy tucks, mini face lifts and other surgeries using this local anesthesia technique.  The surgeries are performed in the office with no additional fees for O.R., anesthesia, recovery, or other surcharges.  Patients are able to walk out of the Center 15 minutes after their procedure with no pain allowing them to go home, rest, have a bite to eat and start the pain medication before the local wears off.  Over 5000 surgeries have been performed this way by Drs. Kaplan and Yee and our patients are more than happy to tell all about their experience.   For a free consultation call 1-800-329-4411
