Lakeview Surgery patients now have the option to review their own before and after results with their surgeon prior to procedures involving face or body including breast augmentation, abdominolplasty, liposuction and filler procedures such as Botox and Restylane. Patients can view the prospective results of their procedure from all angles allowing a thorough analysis of their simulated post-surgery body—simulations can be fully customized by the surgeon, ensuring the patient will be satisfied after surgery.

"It is normal for patients to have anxiety before procedures and we are thrilled we now have a tool that will help relieve that anxiety by providing an advance preview of the results. Patients can now be armed with clear expectations."

Pricing

The cost for a consultation that includes a full 3D photography and planning session is $250. If the patient books their procedure with Lakeview, the fee is credited toward the cost of the cosmetic procedure.

Lakeview Surgery Centre Offers Pellevé—Revolutionary Non-Surgical Procedure That Banishes Wrinkles

Clinic offers all the latest procedures including Body-Jet Liposuction and Acoustic Wave Therapy

Barrie, Ontario, Canada - February 10, 2011 - Lakeview Surgery Centre, a fully-accredited facility offering a broad range of general and cosmetic surgery services in a compassionate environment, today announced it is offering Pellevé, a ground-breaking non-surgical procedure that safely and effectively treats facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and little downtime.

With its two-year anniversary just around the corner, Lakeview Surgery Centre has proven it is a leader in general and cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures with the addition of Pellevé Wrinkle Reduction System. In a one-hour treatment, patients will notice firmer, tighter skin with results that can last up to six months.  Pellevé uses radiofrequency technology to promote collagen synthesis, thereby tightening the skin and softening lines associated with aging.

“We are very excited to offer Pellevé and patients have been thrilled with results thus far,” said Dr. Emad Guirguis, Director and Surgeon of Lakeview Surgery Centre. “We know there are patients who prefer not to have surgery and anytime we can offer a non-surgical alternative, we know we are presenting our clients with all the options, helping them make informed decisions that are best for them.”

Pellevé is just the latest of several innovative procedures offered at Lakeview Surgery Centre that include:

Body-Jet Liposuction

Unlike traditional liposuction, Body-Jet delivers pulses of saline fluid to gently dislodge fat, which is then simultaneously removed, eliminating the need for the forceful movement of a tube. This is a new liposuction technique that is gentle, fast, minimally invasive and effective, providing excellent results and a rapid recovery. Most patients return to regular activity in a few days—some in 24 hours. Almost any area of the body with excessive fat deposits may be treated by Body-Jet, including the abdomen, hips, thighs and arms.

Acoustic Wave Therapy

Acoustic Wave Therapy uses pressure waves that impact both of the major causes of cellulite: fibrous septae and protrusion of fat into the lower dermis. Acoustic Wave Therapy produces a pressure wave that passes through skin and fat to impact the fibrous septae. The pressure breaks up the collagen of the septae and releases the skin, allowing a smoother surface.

Other surgical and non-surgical procedures being offered by Lakeview Surgical Centre include: LAP BAND and endoscopic gastric balloon programs for weight management, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, Ultrashape body contouring, facial rejuvenation, laser cosmetic services, thyroidectomy, hernia repairs, and carpal tunnel decompression.

A New Kind of Surgical Centre

BARRIE, ON, November 2, 2009—For years, Barrie's Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) was the only place area residents could get surgical procedures. Now they have a choice.

The Lakeview Surgical Centre is now open, and proud to announce that it was recently recognized as a fully accredited surgery facility by the Canadian Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (CAAASF).

"We're excited to be fully accredited, and look forward to taking some pressure off the RVH's resources. The two facilities can really work together and help each other," said Dr. Emad Guirguis, owner of the centre.

Dr. Guirguis served as a practicing general surgeon for 17 years, before having a vision of working in a different kind of medical building. He envisioned a surgical centre in his home town of Barrie, that's more calming and inviting than most people are used to. His goal became to combine the best staff and equipment in a building surrounded by nature and tranquility.

After a long search, he found a huge residential home, overlooking the waters of Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe. After he toured the building, his vision began to solidify.

"It took a lot of work to turn a home into a functional, equipped, and accredited surgical centre. New lighting, ventilation and sterilization systems, a new elevator, and things like that, said Dr. Emad Guirguis.

"But the end result is exactly what we envisioned. We give our patients a bright and inviting, yet professional setting. They're calm, they're comfortable."

The centre boasts gorgeous views of the water, and borders Barrie's downtown and waterfront area. Its staff helps patients with procedures like thyroid cancer or skin cancer surgery, hernia repairs, carpal tunnel decompression, removing moles, cysts and lipomas, LAP-BAND adjustable gastric banding, cosmetic surgery, and UltraShape.
