The Body by Kotoske team in Phoenix knows that there is a resting period before you can be pleased under the effects of anesthesia. It is essential you wait out this period because if not you can put your life endanger. This is done to prevent anesthesia complications for Body by Kotokse patients in Phoenix. At Body by Kotoske, we recommend the patient wait 12 weeks between procedures. This way you give your body the proper amount of time to recover and prevent chances of the anesthesia from causing breathing problems or other forms of complications.

Different Situations Could Possibly Happen Being Under Anesthesia 

However if you are doing a procedure that leaves you under the effects of anesthesia for hours and hours, the wait time will be increased due to the fact that you were under the effects for a longer amount of time. If Body by Kotoske gives you the option to schedule your next surgery, you should make sure you are fully recovered, and ready for your next surgery before you schedule. However, if you weren’t placed under anesthesia for the surgery, then it varies from person to person. Some may take only a couple of days while others take weeks. After the procedure has been completed, you can’t drive and you should be monitored for 24 hours. We recommend having a friend or family member helping you while you recover at home for the next couple of weeks. Just to make sure you are safe and that nothing goes wrong. This is a safety measure to prevent complications.

Depending on your situation, you should still speak with your plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Kotokse at Body by Kotoske. If you are unsure of how long you should recover, we recommend you speaking with your surgeon. They will be more than happy to assess the situation and give you the best answer. Dr. Thomas Kotoske at Body by Kotoske in Phoenix will be able to explain this to you in more depth. They will answer all your questions before and after the surgery. Then explain in detail what you should do to recover the most efficient way. After the procedure depending on how long you are put under anesthesia, they will give you an estimate of when you should be able to do your next procedure at Body by Kotoske here in Phoenix. If you are given the opportunity to choose to remember what was stated early, ensure you are fully recovered beforehand. This way you can ensure you are ready for the next appointment. Recovery is important because being sore during surgery can cause complications. If you take anesthesia doses too close together it can also cause complications and breathing problems.

If your plastic surgery at Body of Kotoske doesn’t require anesthesia you will most likely be given sedation to be more comfortable during the process. The recovery process for sedation is usually the same as anesthesia but they wake up quicker and the recovery process is much faster. Similar to anesthesia you won’t be able to drive and you should have someone stay with you for a day. Just to make sure nothing happens and to be sure you are monitored and safe. You want to be sure that you are comfortable at home and that you aren’t exerting yourself physically. That way you can maximize recovery and maybe shorten the time.
