Procedures and techniques named

Facelift: several hours, general anesthesia, incisions minimize scarringThe facelift procedure typically lasts several hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, and excess skin is removed while underlying tissues are repositioned for a firmer appearance.
Breast Augmentation: outpatient, general anesthesia, incision at breast crease, areola or armpitBreast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made, often in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit, depending on your anatomy and implant choice.
Tummy Tuck: belly button repositioned, sutures, compression garmentIn a full tummy tuck, the belly button is repositioned for a natural look. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incision is closed with sutures, and a compression garment is placed to support healing and reduce swelling.
BBL: fat harvested from abdomen or thighs, purified, injectedFat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) : This technique involves harvesting your body’s own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and then injecting it into the buttocks for a fuller, natural look.
Gynecomastia surgery: not a substitute for weight lossPlease note, gynecomastia surgery is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. Although the results of gynecomastia surgery are usually permanent, future weight gain can result in a recurrence of enlarged breasts.
Endoscopic Brow LiftEndoscopic Brow Lift: This minimally invasive technique involves small incisions and the use of a camera to guide the surgeon.
Brow Lift: temporal, combined with eyelid surgeryTemporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift: Focuses on lifting the outer part of the brow and is often combined with eyelid surgery
Neck Lift: incisions around ear and hairlineDuring a Neck Lift at Southeastern Plastic Surgery, our surgeons make carefully placed incisions, typically around the ear and hairline, to access and remove excess tissue.
Otoplasty: reshape the cartilage of the earDuring an otoplasty, our skilled surgeons at Southeastern Plastic Surgery will reshape the cartilage of the ear
Otoplasty: normal activities within a weekRecovery from otoplasty is usually swift, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week.

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.
