Liposuction: recovery requires compression garmentCompression is a very important part of recovery from liposuction because it squeezes out excess fluid from the procedure, helps contour the new shape, and makes the skin “stick down” better.
Tummy tuck: combined with liposuction for contouringA tummy tuck is frequently performed in combination with liposuction - especially around the sides of the stomach, hips, and thighs - to give additional contouring.
Mini tummy tuck (Brazilian tummy tuck)Individuals who are in relatively good shape but desire a flatter tummy may be good candidates for a mini tummy tuck (known as a “Brazilian tummy tuck”).
Facelift: incision scars hidden along hairline and earsafter a facelift in Jacksonville. The surgery also requires a long incision. However, in almost all cases, these scars are well hidden because they fall just along the hairline and around the ears in the natural folds of the scalp.
Rhinoplasty: general anesthesia, outpatient, 1-3 hoursRhinoplasty in Jacksonville is considered an outpatient procedure and is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. It typically takes around 1-3 hours to complete.
Eyelid surgery: incision within natural fold of lidDuring upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made within the natural fold of the lid and extended outward.
Mommy makeover: combines arm lift, thigh lift, liposuction, breast surgeryThe mommy makeover combines body contouring procedures such as arm lift , thigh lift , and liposuction surgeries with cosmetic breast surgery to create an improved overall physical appearance - all at the same time.
Mommy makeover: performed under general anesthesia at accredited facilityAll mommy makeovers are performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility.

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.
