Procedures and techniques named

Submental liposuction: local or general anesthesia, small incisionsSubmental liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and only uses small incisions.
Submental liposuction: back to work within three daysSome patients feel well enough after submental liposuction to return to work the day after the procedure. Almost all are back within three days when the swelling has lessened, and many are fully recovered after a week.
Lip lift: outpatient, local anesthesiaA lip lift can be performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia at our fully accredited surgical facility
Lip lift: normal activities within a few daysThe recovery time after a lip lift surgery is fast. Most people return to normal activities within a few days when makeup can be worn to hide the scars, which should no longer be discernible within 2-4 weeks.
Lip lift: long lasting, revision possibleA lip lift is usually long lasting , although gravity can pull the skin downward again.
Abdominal etching: about one week off workHealing after abdominal etching varies depending on the extent of the procedure, with most patients taking about one week off work for initial recovery.

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.
