Vancouver Area Cosmetic Surgery

Our cosmetic surgery clients visit us from all surrounding areas of Vancouver including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Whistler, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Chilliwack and Langley. Others travel to see us from other areas of the province or country. We have a comprehensive out-of-town patient program. This includes our virtual consultation which allows people to securely upload their photos for review by a plastic or facial plastic surgeon, which can be followed by an on-line consultation. The on-line consultation does not replace the need for an in-person consultation, but can save patients from making the trip to Vancouver until their candidacy for surgery has been established.

Our Commitment to Patients

The safety and satisfaction of our clients is of utmost importance to all the staff at 8-West Cosmetic Surgery. Rather than offering generalized cosmetic surgery, our surgeons specialize in either the face or the body.

Privacy, Confidentiality: An Exclusive Experience

We believe that patients should be able to go through the process of evaluating and seeking cosmetic surgery in private. We chose our location carefully to provide a confidential experience. Our ground floor location is easily accessible with convenient street level parking directly outside our front door. There are no crowded elevators, and it is easy to slip in and out of our office directly.  Find out more about our first class medical facility, located on a quiet street in the South Granville neighbourhood of Vancouver.

Educate & Inform

If you are like most people, you would like to have access to information about cosmetic surgery before you commit to booking a consultation. For that reason, we are committed to providing an abundance of information on our website. We encourage you to explore this website’s Knowledge Base.

Consultative Experience

Positive cosmetic surgery outcomes are highly dependent on several factors. Without question, the surgeon’s skill and experience is critical. What is often overlooked, however, is the importance of the surgical consult, which is when a communicative dialogue needs to take place between the surgeon and the patient so that expectations can be properly managed. In order to facilitate an informative relationship with our patients, we have formalized a process for managing the cosmetic surgery experience. The 8 Stage Cycle of Responsible Care is our unique process for helping to ensure that patients are well informed with sufficient time to consult with their surgeon, and that their experience of preparing and recovering from surgery is facilitated each step of the way by our patient care experts.
