Procedures and techniques named

Submental liposuction: minimally invasive, onsite surgery centerSubmental liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery performed at our onsite surgery center.
Submental liposuction: local or general anesthesia, small incisionsSubmental liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and only uses small incisions. Some candidates choose to pursue a neck lift or facelift as well to further enhance results.
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: corner lip lift, outpatient, 30 minutesThis is a condition that can be easily corrected with a simple procedure called a corner lip lift surgery. It is an outpatient procedure that takes only 30 minutes, and the scars are inconspicuous enough that we defy anyone to notice.
Lip lift: return to normal activities within 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. If that occurs, it is usually less than before and can be corrected with a lip lift revision procedure.

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.
