Facial Procedures
The face represents our most visible feature and plays a crucial role in how we present ourselves to the world. Dr. Bain's facial surgery expertise encompasses both subtle enhancements and more comprehensive rejuvenation procedures, always with a focus on maintaining natural facial expressions and proportions.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty stands as one of Dr. Bain's signature procedures, combining technical precision with artistic vision to create noses that complement each patient's unique facial features. Whether addressing functional concerns such as breathing difficulties or purely aesthetic goals, Dr. Bain approaches each rhinoplasty with careful attention to maintaining nasal function while achieving desired cosmetic improvements.
The procedure typically involves reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage to create better proportion and symmetry. Dr. Bain's technique emphasizes preserving the natural strength and support structures of the nose while making precise adjustments to achieve the desired appearance. Recovery generally involves some swelling and bruising, which gradually resolves over several weeks, revealing the final results.
Facelift
As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and natural volume loss become increasingly apparent in our facial appearance. A facelift performed by Dr. Bain addresses these changes through careful repositioning of facial tissues and removal of excess skin, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Dr. Bain's approach to facelift surgery focuses on achieving natural-looking results that don't appear "overdone" or artificial. His technique involves strategic tightening of the underlying facial muscles and tissues, combined with precise skin removal and repositioning to create smooth, natural contours that maintain the patient's individual facial character.
The Problem
The eyes often show the first signs of aging, with drooping eyelids, puffiness, and wrinkles affecting both appearance and sometimes vision.
The Solution
Blepharoplasty addresses these concerns through precise removal of excess skin and fat deposits, creating a more alert and youthful eye area.
The Results
Dr. Bain performs both upper and lower eyelid procedures, tailoring each surgery to the patient's specific anatomy and aesthetic goals.
The procedure typically results in minimal scarring, with incisions hidden in natural eyelid creases. Recovery is generally swift, with most patients returning to normal activities within one to two weeks.
Body Contouring
Body contouring procedures help patients achieve their ideal body shape by addressing areas resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Bain's expertise in body contouring encompasses both surgical and non-surgical approaches, providing comprehensive solutions for patients seeking improved body proportions.
Liposuction
Liposuction remains one of the most popular body contouring procedures, offering precise fat removal from specific areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Dr. Bain's approach to liposuction emphasizes safety and natural-looking results, using advanced techniques to minimize trauma and optimize healing.
The procedure involves small incisions through which specialized instruments remove excess fat deposits. Dr. Bain's technique focuses on creating smooth, natural contours while preserving the underlying support structures. Safety protocols include careful patient selection, appropriate anesthesia management, and comprehensive post-operative monitoring.
Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, addresses excess skin and separated abdominal muscles that often result from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. Dr. Bain's approach to tummy tuck surgery combines muscle repair with precise skin removal to create a flatter, more toned abdominal profile.
Ideal Candidates
Individuals with excess abdominal skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles, or stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.

Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation remains consistently popular among patients seeking enhanced breast volume and improved proportions. Dr. Bain offers comprehensive consultation to help patients choose the appropriate implant type, size, and placement technique to achieve their desired results.
The procedure involves careful consideration of factors such as existing breast tissue, chest wall anatomy, and lifestyle factors. Dr. Bain's personalized approach ensures that each patient receives implants that complement their body frame and aesthetic goals. Safety measures include thorough pre-operative evaluation, sterile surgical technique, and comprehensive post-operative monitoring.
Breast Reduction
For many women, overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort, posture problems, and self-consciousness.
Breast reduction surgery addresses these concerns by removing excess breast tissue and reshaping the breasts to create better proportion and improved comfort.
Dr. Bain's breast reduction technique focuses on maintaining breast sensation and shape while achieving significant size reduction. The procedure often provides immediate relief from physical symptoms such as back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, and difficulty finding properly fitting clothing.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery represents a vital aspect of Dr. Bain's practice, addressing functional and aesthetic concerns resulting from cancer treatment, trauma, or congenital conditions. His commitment to reconstructive surgery reflects his dedication to helping patients restore both function and appearance following life-changing events.
