Procedures and techniques named

VASER LiposuctionVASER Liposuction is a body-sculpting procedure that uses ultrasound waves to liquefy and remove stubborn, unwanted fat.
breast augmentationBreast augmentation surgery uses artiﬁcial implants to increase the size, shape and overall appearance of the breasts.
breast liftThe goal of a breast lift is to raise the nipples and eliminate excess skin, thus restoring youthful contour and firmness as well as a perkier and more balanced appearance.
Blepharoplasty: two types, upper and lower eyelidThere are two main types of blepharoplasty: upper eyelid and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Your surgeon will determine which approach is best for you, and in some cases, may need to perform both upper and lower eyelid surgery.
Facelift: mini, standard, or deep plane typesEach facelift is tailored to your unique facial anatomy, the extent of correction needed, and your personal aesthetic goals. The main types of facelifts include: Mini, standard, and deep plane facelift.
Facelift: mini-facelift, shorter incisions along the hairlinePatients with a mild degree of sagging are often good candidates for a mini-facelift. This less invasive option allows your surgeon to tighten deep facial tissues through shorter incisions along the hairline.
Rhinoplasty: not for smokers, face fully developed by 17-22Patients who smoke are unlikely to be good candidates for the procedure. Your face will need to be fully developed in order to qualify for a rhinoplasty procedure; for most people, facial growth finishes between the ages of 17 and 22.
Rhinoplasty: closed technique, no visible scarringA closed rhinoplasty uses small incisions inside the nostril so there is no visible scarring. Closed rhinoplasty is typically for making minor adjustments to the tip of the nose or getting rid of the dorsal hump.
Liposuction: chin and neck (submental), minimally invasiveChin and neck liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck.
Liposuction: incisions under chin or behind earlobesSmall, discreet incisions are placed under the chin or behind the earlobes where they remain virtually invisible once healed. Chin and neck liposuction creates dramatic improvements in facial contours with minimal downtime and scarring.

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.
