I know it would be safer and better to have a BA done in the hospital but is office-based BA surgery safe (assuming that my health condition is good) ? Thank you
Answer: Safe to have surgery in surgical facility As long as the surgical facility is accredited and well-maintained, then it should be okay to have your surgery performed there.

Answer: Breast augmentation in an office Thanks for this excellent question about safety. Performing a breast augmentation in an office can be a safe procedure if it is being performed in an accredited surgical suite with board-certified anesthesiologists. What I sometimes see and do not recommend with office-based surgery is a procedure being performed in a non-accredited suite by a "cosmetic" surgeon who does not have hospital privileges for the procedure. He or she must then perform it in their office because they have no other choice. Make sure your surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has hospital privileges in the procedure you are having done.

Answer: Is it safe to have a Breast Augmentation surgery in a surgeon's office? First and foremost, be sure to research your surgeons and their credentials prior to consultation to ensure that you have a Board Certified Surgeon performing your surgery. I designed and built my own fully accredited facility and operate daily along with a team of dedicated nursing staff and board certified anesthesiologist. Infection rates tend to be lower than in hospital as these facilities do only cosmetic procedures as appose to varying surgical procedures. However, surgery can be performed safely whether in an accredited facility or hospital. Be sure to be direct with your questions in this regard during your consultation.
