Time Magazine interviewed Dr. Bernard for his views on patient safety in cosmetic surgery, and whether multiple procedures performed at the same time are safe.
It is not uncommon for people to have multiple procedures performed at once, and when the patient is in good health, it is not especially perilous. But generally, undergoing more than one procedure not only prolongs recovery but also increases the time a patient is anesthetized, which can be risky. "I personally don't believe in procedures that go beyond five or six hours," says Dr. Robert Bernard, who operates in his Westchester, N.Y. office and is the president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, whose members are all board-certified. "If somebody comes in and wants their face, eyes and nose done, that's OK. But if they want that as well as breast reduction and a large amount of liposuction, I'd prefer to divide it into two procedures."
