Procedures and techniques named

Deep plane faceliftDr. Seth performs the deep plane facelift, in which the deep layer of the face, known as the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), is lifted and secured in a direction to counter the effects of aging.
Facelift: combined with neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplastyHis skillful facelift technique can be combined with other facial procedures including neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat grafting, lip augmentation, and chin augmentation to achieve individualized aesthetic goals in a natural and balanced approach.
Neck lift: often combined with faceliftA neck lift may be performed as a stand-alone procedure, however is commonly performed in conjunction with a facelift so that a balanced rejuvenation is provided to the entire face and neck.
Neck lift: outpatient under general anesthesia, 2-3 hoursA neck lift is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The procedure takes two to three hours and you are able to go home the same day with a friend or family member.
Blepharoplasty: combined with brow lift, rhinoplasty, faceliftA blepharoplasty is commonly combined with other procedures such as a brow lift, rhinoplasty, facial fat grafting, or facelift to achieve an optimal rejuvenating effect.
Blepharoplasty: upper under local, lower under general/IVFor isolated upper blepharoplasty the procedure is done under local anesthesia. For lower blepharoplasty or when doing both upper and lower lid surgery together it is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation.
Liposuction: facial/submental, contours chin and neckFacial liposuction (submental lipoplasty) is a surgery that removes fat from the chin and neck area to slim and contour your lower face for those with a more full lower face and neck.
Liposuction: compression dressing worn after surgeryFollowing facial liposuction, Dr. Seth will place a bandage over your incisions as well as apply an elastic compression dressing that should be worn for the first few days after surgery.
Rhinoplasty: outpatient under general anesthesia, 2-3 hoursRhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The procedure can take between two to three hours depending on your aesthetic goals and desired changes.
Mommy makeover: single recovery, combination varies by patientRather than performing these procedures separately over time, combining them allows for a more comprehensive result with a single recovery period. The exact combination varies depending on your anatomy and priorities, and no two mommy makeovers are identical.

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.
