And so for her, having that risk, most doctors, if she came to see me and wanted a high-risk operation like a tummy tuck, I would probably say, depending on what her condition was, if it was really purely cosmetic, it wasn't that bad, then I would really talk to her.
Like, are these risks worth the benefits?
Because you can put a patient like that on blood thinners and help lower the risk of that happening, but then you increase the risk of bleeding.
okay because you put them on blood thinners afterwards so you can technically do it but do you want to go through that that's going to be the big question so it comes down to what operation you're thinking of and then is it worth taking the risk of going on blood thinners for that operation right and so let's say if her situation she's like look doctor you and i've had four kids i've got skin that's hanging down to my mid thigh it's it chafes i've got infections and stuff like that then it may be worth taking that risk
If it's, well, I kind of want implants because I'm a C and I want to be a D, then maybe it's not really worth taking that risk, you know, because do you want to potentially die from that?
And so really it's weighing those risk benefits that's most important.
So the most common procedure in my office is Botox.
I mean, we are injecting Botox all day long in my office.
And I've injected myself here before.
I just got Daxify a few months ago, which is believed to be a longer-lasting version of Botox.
So Dysport, Botox, and Daxify, you get the same result.
The idea really is that the Daxify will last longer.
And there's little minor tweaks in between.
Like Dysport is more of a softer result.
Usually a lot of people believe it spreads a little bit more.
