Vacation Plastic Surgery

Everyone is aware that cosmetic surgery is more common today than ever. The reasons are many, and among them is that skilled and experienced plastic surgeons can produce real results that look natural and that last. The question remains: where to have it done? Even though people generally are more open about choosing cosmetic surgery for themselves, they still prefer to be discreet and don't want all of their friends, family, and especially co-workers to know.

One of the most appealing options is to get away from home and travel to a medical spa. The best ones offer custom accommodations to suit your unique needs, and individualized consultations with a board certified plastic surgeon, who will perform your procedure in a fully accredited and licensed medical facility. You can then recover in a luxurious relaxed atmosphere, away from the stresses and responsibilities of home. It seems that patients who undergo their post-surgery phase in beautiful surroundings, removed from everyday worries, frustrations, and the eyes of nosy neighbors achieve faster and less traumatic recoveries. Leaving all of that behind and concentrating on taking care of yourself can be a real boost.

An additional plus is that, while the patient recovers, the spouse, and/or other family members can enjoy a vacation while at the same time being there to offer support. Located in the picturesque resort town of Manchester, Vermont, the Center for CosMedic Rejuvenation and Wellness is affiliated with some of New England's finest inns and is adjacent to the four-star Rock Resort Equinox Hotel. Each affiliated inn is highly distinctive in personality and accommodations. In Manchester, visitors can enjoy fine dining, high-end shopping, golfing, fishing and cultural experiences. The Center's services are a hybrid of customized clinical aesthetic and health-and-wellness services overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a dermatologist, and a family practitioner.

A concierge sees to guests' needs and requests, from a post-operative nurse to a romantic dinner. Plastic surgery and pre-/post-operative skin treatments are available with the participation of the Center's board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. David M. Metzner. Procedures within Dr. Metzner's areas of expertise include facial rejuvenation, feature enhancement, breast augmentation/lift/reduction, body sculpting/contouring, and tummy tucks. BOTOX, Restylane and chemical peels are administered by Dr. Metzner and by Dr. Robert Gordon, a board-certified dermatologist. Esthetician services are individualized based on the results of a digital skin analysis and consultation, as opposed to being drawn from a menu.

Just as the intimate 1,000-square-foot facility is designed to make guests feel as though the Center is their own private oasis, each wellness program is completely personalized, drawing upon a network of diverse medical professionals to suit the requirements of each client. Clients may select from a host of wellness services such as a visit with a nutritionist and lifestyle coaching and stress management.
