BIS brainwave monitoringproprietary BIS or brainwave monitoring, to improve safety and outcomes in outpatient surgery
Motiva breast implantsMotiva® breast implants are a new generation of silicone implants designed to offer a very soft, natural feel while maintaining a stable, attractive breast shape over time.
Tummy tuck: general anesthesia, low bikini incisionTummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our private, on-site surgical suite. During the procedure, Dr. Gear makes a low incision along the bikini line to remove excess skin and fat.
Tummy tuck: combined with breast surgery, Mommy MakeoverTummy tuck is often performed with breast surgery or liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover .
Tummy tuck: removes excess skin, tightens musclesA tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens muscles. Many patients combine both procedures for comprehensive body contouring.
Liposuction: contour finishing touch, not weight lossliposuction can selectively reduce those bulges while preserving your natural curves. Because liposuction focuses on contour rather than overall weight loss, it is often the "finishing touch"
Liposuction: combined with tummy tuck, mommy makeoverDr. Gear will explain what liposuction can realistically achieve, how long your recovery will take, and whether combining your procedure with a tummy tuck, mommy makeover, or other body contouring surgery could help you reach a more comprehensive transformation.
Breast lift: with implants, mastopexy plus augmentationA breast lift with implants combines mastopexy with breast augmentation, enhancing both the shape and volume of the breasts in a single procedure.
Breast lift: no size increase, add augmentationA breast lift does not significantly increase breast size, but it can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume and fullness.
Blepharoplasty: lifts drooping lids, reduces puffinessFor our patients in Charlotte Blepharoplasty can help lift drooping lids and reduce under-eye puffiness. The overall result is natural and not "worked on".

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.
