Our Facility
Our private and comfortable offices are located in the heart of Vancouver’s medical corridor, just one block from Vancouver General Hospital. Our state of the art on-site surgical suite allows all patients visits – from consultation through surgery and post-operative follow up – to be scheduled at this location, adding simplicity, familiarity and convenience to the patient experience.
Our patient care coordinators and nursing staff are highly experienced and superbly trained and have worked together with Dr. Denton for many years.
Our Accredited Surgical Suite
Our surgical suite is accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia. It was designed and built to meet or exceed hospital standards. We are proud to be the first new Non-Hospital Surgical Facility in British Columbia ever to receive a three-year accreditation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Our mission is to provide our patients with leading-edge surgical and non-surgical facial cosmetic treatments in a comfortable, private and professional setting.
Surgery & Post-Operative Procedures
During your plastic surgery, two registered nurses with advanced operating room experience are present in the operating room. Following your cosmetic surgery, you remain in our fully equipped post-operative care area with one-on-one nursing care until anesthesia recovery is complete. Patients are then allowed to proceed home while accompanied by a responsible adult. Aftercare facilities are available and a hotel, accustomed to surgical patients as guests, is located across the street from our facility.
Level of Anesthesia
The level of anesthesia required during surgery will vary with the needs of each patient. This also depends on the type of surgical or laser procedure being performed. Some facial cosmetic procedures are suitable for local anesthesia only. However, the most common anesthesia technique employed in our surgical suite is twilight anesthesia (intravenous sedation). We feel this type of anesthesia provides the best combination of safety and reduced postoperative swelling and bruising. During twilight anesthesia, the patient is completely asleep, experiences no discomfort and has no negative recollection of the procedure.
Our Eco-Friendly Facial Plastic Surgery Clinic
To minimize the environmental footprint of our facility, all our patient records are stored on a secure server which has eliminated the need for paper charts. Low VOC and eco-friendly products are used wherever and whenever possible in our Vancouver facial plastic surgery clinic.
