Cape Fear Valley Plastic Surgery offers the full gamut of typical plastic surgery from office procedures like injectables of Botox and filler, earlobe repairs, light lasers and light treatments to surgical breast care for cancer reconstruction, cosmetic augmentation, breast lift and reduction.  They also do body contouring surgery such as abdominoplasty, liposuction, arm and thigh lifts.  Facelifts, eyelid lifts and facial contouring are also performed.  

Leif Nordberg, MD, is the primary plastic surgeon treating patients in the plastic surgery practice.

The most common reasons for patients to see Dr. Nordberg are breast cancer reconstruction, cosmetic breast enhancement, tummy tuck procedures, liposuction, facelift and nonoperative treatment for facial aging. During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will talk about your treatment goals and evaluate your specific areas of concern. Then, they’ll put together an individualized plan to fit your needs. 

The best way to see if you are a good candidate for a procedure is to go see a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Nordberg. Through many years of experience, proper education and maintenance of up-to-date techniques and treatments, a plastic surgeon can evaluate your needs and the potential procedures that might be appropriate.  Pros and cons will be discussed along with alternatives. An educated patient is very important to the success of a procedure.

Recovery for surgical procedures varies, as does the time they take in the operating room. Typical surgical procedures can last anywhere from an hour and a half to five or more hours in the operating room for a mommy makeover (breast enhancement with abdominal contouring).  In-office procedures take relatively short amounts of time and have a quick recovery.  Longer surgeries may require a month before a patient can do full activities such as lifting and exercising.

No matter what service you come into the clinic seeking, the goal is to help you feel empowered and informed about your decisions.
