Procedures and techniques named

Motiva 'gummy bear' implantsDr. Salcedo can perform this procedure using a combination of both implants and fat grafting, and recommends using either Motiva breast implants - specifically Motiva’s ‘gummy bear’ implants to achieve the best results possible.
Liposuction: Total Definer variation, targets stubborn fatDr. Samuel Salcedo specializes in Total Definer Liposuction , a variation of liposuction that targets specific areas of stubborn fat and sculpts the body more meticulously.
Tummy tuck: mini variation, loose skin below navelA mini tummy tuck is a variation of the traditional tummy tuck that only addresses loose skin below the navel. This variation is much less frequently performed, as most patients need some kind of belly button rejuvenation after weight loss.
Eyelid surgery: upper, lower, or both, local anesthesiaEyelid surgery may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom eyelid, or a blend of both eyelids. Either way, we will use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Blepharoplasty: upper, incision along lash lineAn upper blepharoplasty assists in reducing the loose skin that droops over your eye to give you a more awakened and appealing look. The incision is often placed along the lash line or crease to remove skin and tissue.
Blepharoplasty: lower, incision below lash lineLower blepharoplasty is performed to remove bulging, bloated skin under your lower lid. The incision is placed below your lash line to allow access to remove fatty tissue, and your skin is gently lifted to allow for a softer, flatter look.
Mommy makeover: surgical center, at least two hoursDr. Salcedo performs each mommy makeover in his surgical center. The duration of your procedure will depend on the details of your treatment plan , but you can expect it to take at least two hours.
Mommy makeover: outpatient, go home same dayDr. Salcedo performs mommy makeovers on an outpatient basis, which means you will go home the same day as your procedure.
Liposuction: Total Definer uses ultrasound, preserves tissueTotal Definer Liposuction uses ultrasound waves to selectively break down and liquefy fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues, including nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
BBL: focus on safety, balance, individualized resultsDr. Samuel E. Salcedo performs Brazilian Butt Lifts and other surgical and nonsurgical procedures with a focus on safety, balance, and individualized results.

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.
