Eric Pugash, M.D., F.R.C.S.(C).

We will strive to identify your areas of concern and your goals, and inquire about your overall medical condition. Your consultation will include a physical examination to assess the area in question as well as your general condition.

Dr. Pugash will discuss your options with you. You will receive a good understanding of treatment alternatives and the expected results, as well as being advised of the recovery period and when you can expect to return to normal activities. Dr. Pugash will describe the possible complications associated with treatment, and explore some of the psychological issues related to cosmetic surgery.

From the time of booking an appointment to the last visit following surgery all patients will enjoy the friendly and exceptionally competent services of Dr. Pugash's two office assistants, Meredith and Simone.

Dr. Pugash will describe the possible complications associated with treatment, and explore some of the psychological issues related to cosmetic surgery. Dr. Pugash will demonstrate sample results using patient photographs. A computer simulation may be done for such procedures as rhinoplasty (nasal reshaping).

You will be given illustrated information brochures and informed consents that describe the risks of treatment. You can then review these at your leisure at home.

Patients will often return for a shorter visit several weeks before surgery to review the treatment plan and discuss preparations for surgery. The goals of these office visits prior to surgery are twofold: a clear understanding by Dr. Pugash of your motivations and expectations, and thorough patient preparation and education so you have the most comfortable treatment experience possible.

Finally, your progress will be monitored through regular office visits after your surgery to ensure optimal healing. There is no additional charge for these visits.

Patients who come to the office for Botox or soft tissue augmentation (Restylane, Perlane, Artecoll, etc.) or for skin treatment programmes will receive excellent care from Lorraine Kennedy, a registered nurse with extensive training in these areas of cosmetic medicine.
