The term 'plastic' or 'cosmetic surgery'
actually covers a variety of surgical and chemical procedures which alter
the body's outward appearance. Procedures are used to shape certain
body parts such as the breast or nose, to soften skin tone reducing
or eliminating wrinkles, and to correct problems resulting from either
accident or disease.
Plastic surgery procedures are
generally safe and relatively painless when performed by an experienced
surgeon, although each procedure is different. As with all surgical procedures, there are certain degrees
of risk and uncertainty. During an initial consultation we will discuss your procedure with you in detail, describing the realistic
potential outcome and any possible risks involved.
Almost all of the
procedures listed are performed at our
facilities. Most procedures are performed using only
a local
anesthesia, others are performed with intravenous
sedation. Certain procedures will require general anesthesia. The decision
concerning the type of anesthesia to be used will be discussed
with you during your initial consultation.
Out of
respect for our patients' privacy, representative before & after
