About The Procedures

Our goal is to create natural, elegant, well-contoured, and proportional results to help balance, improve, and redefine yourself. Dr. Steinbacher is a “master surgeon” known for meticulous attention to detail, superb technique, artistry in the human form, and generation of beautiful aesthetic results/outcomes. You are in good hands with Dr. Steinbacher: a true cosmetic expert.

Cosmetic surgery is performed for a variety of reasons. Our goal is to achieve a balanced, proportional, well-appearing cosmetic result. This may mean looking younger, achieving your aesthetic objectives / ideals, improving your form and function, or a combination of these things. We will analyse, educate, and ensure your goals are realistic and attainable. Remember, that we are living, biologic beings, and tissue has certain variables and healing patterns that can influence treatment choices, modifications, and recovery / healing.

Alteration (enhancement, reduction, smoothing, or tightening) of a specific anatomical feature or features is our mutual goal in plastic and cosmetic surgery. We also prioritize looking younger, more refreshed, awake, and pleasing (less tired or haggard). We are able to consider and meld these factors / goals, together with functional improvement, to obtain uniformly superb results. Postoperatively, we improve your sense of well-being and boost overall confidence.

Dr.Steinbacher’s comprehensive / aesthetic plastic surgery practice emphasizes proportion, balance, refinement, and contours. Such a philosophy, with an eye for detail, and technical artistic surgical ability, results in some of the most favourable results possible. Procedures such as: rhinoplasty, facelift, necklift, and other aspects of facial rejuvenation, achieve nasal and facial balance, reverse the effects of facial aging, and create an attractive, younger, refreshed, pleasing patient. Facelift, necklift, double eyelid procedure, blepharoplasty, cheekbone reductions or cheek augmentation, brow lift, fat grafting, rejuvenation, forehead contouring, eyelid tightening, neck and face tightening, botox, fillers, skin resurfacing are al frequent interventions we perform. The entire comprehensive system: skin, soft-tissue, underlying facial bones/skeleton, must be considered. We address and reposition prominent ears and correct ear deformities. We adjust breast and abdominal contour, excess skin and fat, and deflation. Breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, and fat grafting are frequently performed procedures.

Before the Procedure: What to Expect

Cosmetic procedures vary from quick non-invasive procedures with no downtime, like botox and fillers. To slightly more involved, but still minor procedures (microdermabrasion, chemical peel, scar revisions, fat grafting, eyelid surgery, even some liposuction). To more complex surgical procedures requiring tissue removal, repositioning, or manipulation (facelift, rhinoplasty, orthognathic jaw surgery, genioplasty, facial implants, facial contouring, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck).

The minor office-based procedures can be performed right on the spot at your first consult. The more involved manipulations may require more lead time and coordination. We always aim to make your recovery as quick and streamlined as possible. You may be asked to take medications or make changes to your current ones, as well as apply some skin products. You may be asked to avoid taking certain medications (anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal supplements, and aspirin), stop smoking, and/or optimize other medical variables. Various anesthetic options may be available for your procedure. We will discuss in greater detail at your consultation.

After the Procedure: How to Recover

For best results, it’s important to heed the instructions we provide during our consultation. Skin care, before, during, and after procedures, is of utmost importance. Use of mild hypoallergenic products and fragrance-free moisturizes may be recommended to make sure your skin heals best. Sun protection is crucial, including blocks of direct sunlight and ensuring to apply sunscreen with appropriate SPF. If incisions are present, we will counsel you as to how best care for them. We may recommend compression of certain areas, head elevation, ice applications or heat, depending on the procedure and time postoperative. Post-op diet may be altered depending on the procedure. Fluid intake (drinking for hydration) is important in most procedures as well. Postop nasal sprays are given for rhinoplasty patients. Creams and ointments may be recommended. The postoperative care, instructions, and pathways depend on the type of procedure you are undergoing, and your individual history and case. We will provide more information at the time of your consultation and presurgical counselling session.
