Surgeries at Lethbridge Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics are performed in one of two locations, either the Chinook Hospital in Lethbridge, Alberta, or at the beautiful surgical suite located here in our building.
Both are staffed with doctors, anesthesiologists and nursing staff. Which location is used will be determined by Dr. Secretan during your consultation and will depend upon the complexity and extent of the surgery to be performed.
