Reveal the Beauty in You
The decision to explore cosmetic surgery is a serious one and requires gaining a wealth of information so that you can feel comfortable in your final decision.
First, it is important to know that cosmetic surgery is safe, offers many options, is affordable and, in most cases, provides very positive results for individuals.
Office
Our goal is to provide the highest standard of quality and professional surgical care available in the field of plastic surgery. We consider every surgical procedure to be important, with quality patient care to be paramount.
All surgery is performed by Dr. Kerluke in our expertly-staffed private surgical facility. Our surgical facility is fully accredited by the B.C. College of Physicians & Surgeons.
All procedures performed at our Centre are supported by the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Kerluke and his staff regularly attend training courses and symposia to keep abreast of the newest trends and developments. Dr. Kerluke also teaches other surgeons the surgical techniques he uses. Most surgery is performed on an out-patient basis, but for longer surgery sometimes an overnight stay is recommended by Dr. Kerluke.
You will receive comprehensive written instructions to answer commonly asked questions prior to your surgery. Our staff will provide you with full assistance. The choice of general or local anesthesia is made in consultation with Dr. Kerluke. The type of anesthesia used is determined by both procedure and by your preference. Immediately following your surgery, you will stay in our recovery room with nursing care until you are ready to go home.
