Procedures and techniques named

Tummy tuck: standard tightens abdominal wall, extended extends to backStandard tummy tucks tighten the entire abdominal wall and lift the frontal high skin. The longest incisions come from extended tummy tucks where the abdomen and sides are tightened; the incision can extend to the sides and your lower back.
Mini Tummy TuckMini tummy tucks have one incision and it is shorter, but a mini tuck only tightens the lower abdominal skin wall.
Tummy tuck: outpatient, general anesthesiaTummy tucks are done as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia.
Liposuction: tiny cannulas, small inconspicuous incisionsToday, liposuction with Dr Kearney is much easier. Using tiny cannulas or suction tubes, Dr. Robert Kearney removes excess fat from the desired areas. Incisions are very small and placed as inconspicuously as possible.
Power-Assisted LiposuctionDr. Kearney often uses power-assisted liposuction. This employs a special cannula that uses tiny, rapid vibrations to break up fat cells, making them easier to remove. This also makes these procedures quicker and creates less tissue trauma, leading to faster recovery times.
Liposuction: final results appear after 2-3 monthsThe final Liposuction results appear after 2-3 months.
Mid-Face LiftWhile full facelifts do require an involved recovery, Dr. Kearney uses various methods to directly address each patient's unique aging. Some of those methods, such as a mid-face lift don't require the same recovery.
Blepharoplasty: upper incision in lid fold, lower below lashes or inside eyelidDuring an upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the natural fold of the lid, and excess skin and fat are removed. For lower eyelid surgery the incision is made below the lower lashes or inside the eyelid, depending on the patient's preference.
Blepharoplasty: outpatient, sutures removed in a week, back to activities in 3-4 weeksPatients usually go home the same day of their surgery. Expect to have some bruising and swelling for a week or two. Sutures are typically removed within a week. Most blepharoplasty patients can resume work within a week and get back to their regular activities within three to four weeks.
Rhinoplasty: performed for aesthetic or reconstructive/breathing goalsRhinoplasty by Dr. Kearney in San Diego and La Jolla, CA, can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct defects or breathing problems.

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.
