Concerns For Cosmetic Surgery. Posted: 08-14-06 08:39am
Tomorrow, tuesday, my father is going into
the hospital to have cosmetic surgery.
His doctor told him that he has skin
cancer on the upper part of his nose and
it has to be removed. They are going to
put him to sleep and then do the
procedure. They will also graft some
skin from somewhere and "patch" the spot
that they removed. It is an out patient
procedure. He is 78 years old.
I guess my question is, is there any real
concerns that I should have for him? Is
he in any danger given his age and that he
is going be put to sleep or this is a
common procedure?
