How many surgeries in one day would be considered too many for one PS to perform?

Asked By:stellanova in Brisbane, AU

I've seen a number of plastic surgeons posting their operating schedules on instagram etc. I'm concerned that some are performing 8 or 9 breast augmentations a day. I know surgeons are used to being on their feet but this seems like a lot of hours. I'd like my PS to be fresh, switched on and focused on my procedure. I don't want to be a number in a production line. How many surgeries is considered overload in the industry? Should I look to avoid surgeons that do say, more than 10 BAs in a day?
