San Diego, CA, Jan. 6, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — La Jolla female plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus has opened Restore SD Plastic Surgery Center, a private, Quad A-accredited operating facility.
Dr. Gallus drew on her experience operating in a variety of settings—from the battlegrounds of Afghanistan, to top tier hospitals, to outpatient centers—to design her new state-of-the-art facility. “I have learned that there is more than one way to run an operating room,” said Dr. Gallus. “Understanding what is most effective for both surgeons and patients, I designed an optimal surgical environment. Our patients already love our staff and office; now they can have surgical procedures in the same convenient location.”
The board certified plastic surgeon began her medical career as a United States Navy physician, eventually deploying in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan to provide immediate surgical trauma support. She established Restore SD Plastic Surgery in 2017.
Convenient, on-site surgery center designed for safe cosmetic surgery
The La Jolla facility features state-of-the-art anesthesia and patient monitoring equipment, high-powered LED surgical lighting, and Microaire power-assisted liposuction, or PAL, which Dr. Gallus can combine with Renuvion skin tightening. To complete the surgical team, Dr. Gallus brought on Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim, a board-certified anesthesiologist with 20 years of experience with plastic surgery in outpatient and hospital settings.
In addition to top-tier equipment and staff, the surgery center offers conveniences including ample, handicap-accessible parking; lockers and phone chargers; a peaceful, quiet setting with an attentive nurse; a private exit; and optimal scheduling.
“Having my own operating room allows my patients to choose a preferred, convenient surgical time that fits their schedule. And, with the same team and location, check-in is now a breeze. If you are coming from the La Jolla area, we are 10 minutes or less away; for our patients that drive from Carmel Valley or Del Mar, we are only about 15 minutes away,” Dr. Gallus explained.
Surgeries performed at the surgery center include:
- Tummy tuck
- Mommy makeover
- Labiaplasty
- Breast augmentation
- Breast reduction
- Breast implant removal
- Facelift
The practice also offers non-surgical treatments in the office setting, including Botox® and laser.
Quad A-accredited facility
The facility holds voluntary accreditation from Quad A (formerly AAAASF), which monitors the surgery center for over 350 stringent patient safety standards; sterility, equipment functionality, and even staff qualifications help to mitigate the primary risks of plastic surgery, like anesthesia or infection complications.
“Choosing an on-site, accredited surgery center is extremely beneficial for safety and results,” commented Dr. Gallus. “It’s a dream come true to work with my patients in a space that meets these high standards while helping them feel relaxed and pampered.”
