Procedures and techniques named

Breast augmentation: cohesive gel implants, natural lookDr. Franklin believes that the newest generation of cohesive gel implants are a game-changer for women seeking a natural look with breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation: mostly silicone implants, over 90 percentToday, the choices for breast augmentation are extensive. Breast implants can be divided into two basic categories: Silicone and Saline. Over 90% of the implants which are placed are silicone.
Breast lift: tightens sagging skin, lifted appearanceYou may be like many women who don’t want to change the size of their breasts but do want a more perky, firm appearance. A breast lift tightens the sagging skin and provides a lifted, more youthful appearance.
Tummy tuck: combined into mommy makeover, one downtimeDr. Franklin offers a "mommy makeover" which includes a breast lift and tummy tuck with only one surgical downtime.
Facelift: no boilerplate, customized to facial structureThere is no "boilerplate" facelift. Each patient requires a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Franklin will discuss areas of concern, appearance goals and the best options for their specific facial structure.
Blepharoplasty: studies eye shape and movement for natural lookDr. Franklin is very particular about studying your eye shape, your eye movement and how your eyes fit with the rest of the face in order to ensure your eyelid surgery is completely natural looking.

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
