Good Results Make A Great DifferenceGreat Results Make All the Difference
Our Philosophy
Dr. Louis P. Bucky strives to achieve a natural result in all aspects of plastic surgery. In addition, we believe that careful pre-operative planning and post-operative care can significantly improve your outcome. Therefore, ancillary services (vitamin supplementation, medically supervised skin care, soft tissue massage therapy, etc.) play an important role in your surgery program.
Our Global Approach to Patient Care
At the practice of Dr. Louis P. Bucky, our Global Approach to plastic surgery ensures that our patients are as comfortable as possible before, during, and after their procedure – and that the results of each procedure are optimized. To heighten the quality of the patient’s overall experience, Global packages may include features such as overnight nurses, lymphatic massage, laser hair removal, skin care treatments, skin consultations, vitamin regimens, and skin care products for home use. Global packages will vary depending on the procedure type, but the packages are often available at no additional cost. Our philosophy behind the Global Approach is to care for our patients’ comfort with an eye toward achieving the best possible results – from the pre-operative period through recovery – and this level of commitment to our patients is what sets us apart from the competition.
Our patients benefit from our Global Approach to plastic surgery for procedures including:
- Facelift
- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Augmentation with Brava®
- Liposuction
- Abdominoplasty
- CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments
