Many people (men and women) are excited about the idea of having cosmetic surgery. They may, however, be apprehensive about hearing a well-meaning “Oh, you had work done!” from friends or family. Susan Schroeder MD is one of only a few dermatologists the Colorado Springs area formally fellowship-trained in cosmetic and surgical dermatology. Her approach is not to make you look decades younger or change your appearance drastically. Rather, her work enhances the unique natural qualities of the individual.
At Perfect Skin Dermatology, your procedure is performed in our two OR suites. Dr. Schroeder is adept at ensuring your comfort with local anesthesia, nerve blocks, light sedation (such as Demerol or Versed), and tumescent anesthesia. She also offers the option of Pro-Nox, a self-regulated nitrous oxide blend. This inhaled sedation wears off quickly, without residual grogginess. As an adjunct to local anesthesia, it makes surgical treatment comfortable and low stress. Your wellbeing is carefully monitored throughout the procedure, and you are not left alone at any time. She also employs continuous cardiac monitoring for your ensured well-being and is one of few Dermatologic Surgeons in this area that continues with current ACLS certification training on a regular basis.
The most informative dermatology appointments I have ever had. The doctor is very helpful in working through how my medication will interact with my daily schedule, as well as my body. The office staff are all very accommodating and kind.
