Norfolk, Virginia is a beautiful beach city that is both civilian and military. The U.S. Navy has a large base here. Because of the Navy’s presence, there is a young population in Norfolk working and playing alongside retirees. The need for cosmetic plastic surgeons in Norfolk is obvious: Keep the young youthful and help the more mature population to regain their lost youth, or at the very least, their youthful appearance.
Private cosmetic surgery clinics in Norfolk prefer to do surgical procedures on an out-patient basis. Facelifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, brow lift, facial peel, laser skin resurfacing, collagen and Botox injections, dermabrasion, ear surgery, tummy tuck, liposuction, thigh lift, buttock lift, breast augmentation, reduction and reconstruction are all on the list of procedures performed at the clinics. More invasive cosmetic surgery, such as weight loss surgery, is performed in a hospital or in a full service clinic (one that accommodates overnight or longer stays).
Most of the private clinics prefer to do the consultations for cosmetic surgery procedures at the same clinic so the patient has an idea of where and how the procedures are performed. On the day of surgery, the patient arrives in the morning, the cosmetic surgical procedure is done and patient has a recuperative period of relaxation then goes home by early evening.
The more intense plastic surgery, such as reconstructive or maxillofacial are practiced by the skilled plastic surgeons found at the many excellent hospitals in Norfolk. These plastic cosmetic surgeons are able to rebuild the faces and other body parts of accident victims, repair many serious birth defects that will enable people to have normal lives and careers, or assist burn victims with skin grafts which often save their lives and that enable them to lead active and productive lives.
