Dr. Silich has identified the risk potential of both the blood clotting lodging in either the brain or the lungs as fatal. If the clot reaches the brain it catalysis’s the cerebral vascular accident or stroke. But if it lodges in the lungs’ blood vessels it results to pulmonary embolism or PE and causes difficulty in breathing thus death is eminent if the patient is not quickly assisted.
The complicity of the blood clotting and strokes in cosmetic surgery is higher than other operations due to the time span it can take from time of the operation. Most other patients for corrective or removal operations are kept under observation for sometime opposite to the cosmetic patients who go home early thus if the risk occurs they are not brought to medical assistance very fast. There are documented cases as reported by Dr. Robert Silich that have come a few hours of operation to ten days. So in future the same care should be given to cosmetic patients.
Patients who wish to undergo cosmetic surgery should be made aware of basic factors that indicate the occurring of the clotting or the strokes. Robert Silich md singles the following signs; disorientation and altered mental disorders. All people taking care of the patient should be trained to identify these symptoms. More research should be conducted on ways to investigate the risk level of patients in future. This would stop the deaths of many key people in the society thus maintaining the production levels.
