Is Adding Another Procedure on Surgery Day W/O Consultation Considered Sneaky? I had a consultation with a surgeon near me for a nose surgery and the operation is scheduled in a month. I recently decided I would also like cheek implants and I rather not pay for another consultation and prolong my initial nose surgery to add in a cheek procedure. Would it be seen as sneaky if I ask my surgeon on surgery day to also include cheek implants on that day? If you were in that position as the surgeon, would you insist a seperate consultation is needed or perform on that day?

A: Adding Procedures on Day of Surgery

It is generally only a good idea to add procedures on the surgery day if these are procedures the surgeon has already discussed/recommended for you and told you could be added the day of. If you're adding something out of the blue, you may not have time to thoroughly discuss with the surgeon.

Cheek Implants - Sutured or Screwed? I want to get cheek implants, just small ones that will add some slight definition but not make me appear like another person. One plastic surgeon (who I have gone to before and really liked his work) places the cheek implant in and sutures it. However, another surgeon that I contacted actually screws his in. My main concern is that the implant will shift. Why do some surgeons choose sutures and others screws? Is one better that the other? Pros/ cons of each. Thanks

A: Placement of Cheek Implants

The only reason to use screws/or sutures is if the implants look like they mobile in the pocket after the sugeon inserts them. Usually a small enough pocket is made so that the implants do not need to be secured. Implantech currently has a silastic implant with a "gripping" internal surface that also prevents slippage.
