Our goal at the Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is to ensure that you have an optimal surgical experience from your initial consultation through the final result of your procedure.
We are committed to providing the highest quality care in a friendly, relaxed environment. Since every patient is unique, we treat everyone according to his or her individual needs. You can also be assured that patient confidentiality is strictly maintained.
It is important that your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery. It is also important that you have trust and confidence in the surgeon as well as his staff. You can expect the medical expertise and compassionate care that you deserve from Dr. Sweet and his professional staff.
Deciding on Plastic Surgery
Choosing plastic or reconstructive surgery is a highly personal decision and should be considered carefully. The ideal candidate for plastic surgery is someone who has realistic expectations of improvement, not perfection. Plastic surgery can enhance your appearance, giving a renewed feeling of self-confidence, but it cannot change the way others feel or act toward you. Dr. Sweet and his staff will work with you to make sure you understand each particular procedure and the possible outcomes before the surgery takes place.
Risk Factors
As with any surgery, there are risks you should understand. Many of the procedures involve anesthesia. Depending on the procedure and the patient, the doctor will administer either a local anesthetic to numb a particular area or a general anesthetic so the patient sleeps through the entire surgery. Operations are performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis as required. Recovery period can be quick or lengthy, again depending on the procedure and the patient.ÂÂ Patients of Dr. Sweet benefit from his office being located at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-All Saints, should additional medical care be required.
Costs of Procedures
Costs of plastic or reconstructive surgery vary widely depending on the operation. Most insurance companies do not cover surgery for cosmetic purposes. However, reconstructive surgery, or procedures performed to improve function, may be covered by insurance. Be sure to check with your insurance company before surgery to determine your status.
