Plastic surgeons perform surgical procedures — facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks — and most practices also offer non-surgical treatments through an in-house med spa: injectables, lasers, skin tightening, and body contouring.
The non-surgical side of a plastic surgery practice is often a full med spa in its own right, with the added benefit of a surgeon on site for consultations and complications. Patients who may eventually want surgery sometimes start with non-surgical treatments at a surgical practice for continuity.
