I am scared to have a breast reduction in a surgery center, but I'm not sure if it is a rational fear.
Answer: Outpatient surgery centers should be as safe as hospital facilities In Washington State as in many other states, all surgical facilities must be licensed and are held to the same standards as hospital based facilities. Many if not most also have national accreditation such as the AAAASF. In some ways ambulatory surgery centers might be safer because they typically only treat healthy patients for elective procedures, so you are not exposed to hospitalized patients who may be sicker. So here's the checklist:Surgeon certified by appropriate board (for breast reduction, this would be the American Board of Plastic Surgery)Facility is accredited and licensedYou have appropriate arrangements for aftercare

Answer: Are outpattient surgery centers safe I agree with Dr.Chang, that as long as you are in good physical condition and go to an accredited surgery center it should be safe. Breast reductions can easily be performed in an outpatient center. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Breast reduction in surgery center I perform most outpatient surgery, including breast reductions, in a surgery center. Most of my patients prefer them to the hospital. If you are healthy without major medical problems, the facility is certified, you have an anesthesiologist present, and your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery, it is perfectly safe to have a breast reduction in a surgery center. You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon to make sure you are an appropriate candidate to have the procedure in a surgery center.

Answer: Are outpatient (ambulatory surgery centers) surgeries safe? As long as the center is certified by the state or one of the main licensing bodies in the country (there are 3) and as long as there is a board certified anesthesiologist, the chances are high it is safe. We have had no serious problems in our center in its 25 year existence.
