Surgical
Facilities:
Most of our outpatient procedures are performed at the West Florida
Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) right here on the campus of the Medical
Center Clinic. The staff of the Surgical Center always gets rave reviews
for
their professional care from patients, families and from the surgeons
whom
they serve. |
The experienced
anesthesia staff of physicians and nurse anesthetists is
second to none. They can provide all levels of sedation from simply
taking
the edge off of a nervous procedure to a full general anesthetic. |
| We think
you will agree, this is a great place to have surgery. |
For the
patient who may need to stay in the hospital overnight, the West
Florida Hospital has 12 brand new, state-of-the-art surgical suites,
opened
in 2002. These are the same suites where complcated heart and brain
surgeries are performed every day so you can be assured that your
safety is
at the top of the priority list. |

Consultation:
Dr. Frost's goal in the consultation is education without any attempt
to
"sell" cosmetic surgery. Dr. Frost hopes to understand
what you want to
change and then find a way to accomplish your goals. He has always
felt that
he has done his job equally well if you decide not to proceed with
surgery
as if you decide to have a total makeover. |
The consultation
begins with a simple introduction and a review of your
medical history. The next part of the consultation is up to you. We
want to
hear your hopes and desires. Whether it is for a younger neck, less
tired
looking eyes, larger breasts or to get rid of your mother's chin,
we want to
hear what you hope to achieve. |
The next
step is the physical examination to understand our starting point.
From there we can give you an idea of what procedures may be best
suited to
your goals. We can look at photos of other patients who had similar
procedures and discuss what we may be able to achieve for you. |
The consultation
is for you to please ask questions. If you have more
questions after you leave, please call or come back for a complimentary,
follow-up consultation. We want you to be educated. |
At the
conclusion of the consultation, we hope you have a realistic
expectation of what can be achieved and, just as important, what can
NOT be
achieved with the many procedures that are available in the always
advancing
world of cosmetic surgery. |
