Hello Interloper!

The limit is obviously anaesthetic time.
There is a time limit of roughly four and a half hours to keep a patient safely under anaesthetic so whatever I can do safely in that timeframe I will do.
Anaesthetic time plays a huge role and the longer the anaesthetic time is the more chances of potential postoperative problems such as thrombosis and stiffness in the recovery period, which is why it is important to opt with an experienced surgeon who has the technical background to keep the patient safe.
Recovery is also an important factor in offering multiple procedures. As surgeons, we all differ, and some are more heavy-handed than others. Some lean on or stretch the tissues more and the recovery will be longer.
What this means is there are different instruments that you can use and each has their own traumatic effect. I deal with tissue in a very effective way that uses heat which separates the tissue and at the same time stops any bleeding because it is much easier on patients and they feel much less pain with this technique.
