About Eric Pugash, MD, FRCS - Vancouver,
British Columbia (BC)
Dr. Eric Pugash established his plastic surgery practice in New Westminster, B.C. in March 1987. Since then he has opened practices in South Surrey / White Rock, B.C., as well as in Vancouver at the False Creek Surgery Centre.
Dr. Pugash's Vancouver practice is concentrated in the areas of facial cosmetic surgery, breast surgery and body-contouring surgery
Dr. Pugash is a native of Montreal and he believes that aesthetic surgery can allow people to live more comfortably and confidently. Cosmetic surgery, whether of the face, breast, or body, can produce natural results that leave patients looking refreshed and better proportioned.
Dr. Pugash believes in the importance of thorough communication during the preoperative consultation to determine patient goals and priorities. He presents options and demonstrates these with before and after photographs to help patients make the best choices. He is devoted to the principles of meticulous surgery and attentive postoperative care to achieve superior results. Dr. Pugash strives to achieve results that correspond to patient goals, that are natural looking and difficult to detect, and that contribute to a fuller enjoyment of life.
The office consultation is your first meeting with Dr. Pugash. The consultation is a two-way exchange of information and the setting in which physician and patient get to know each other.
Dr. Pugash will strive to identify your areas of concern and your goals. He will also inquire about your overall medical condition. Your consultation will include a physical examination to assess the area in question as well as your general condition.
Then you and Dr. Pugash will discuss your options. You will receive a good understanding of treatment alternatives and the expected results. You will be advised of the recovery period and when you can expect to return to normal activities. Dr. Pugash will describe the possible complications associated with treatment, and explore some of the psychological issues related to cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Pugash will demonstrate sample results using patient photographs. A computer simulation may be done for such procedures as rhinoplasty (nasal reshaping).
You will be given illustrated information brochures and informed consents that describe the risks of treatment. You can then review these at your leisure at home.
Patients will often return for a shorter visit several weeks before surgery to review the treatment plan and discuss preparations for surgery.
The goals of these office visits prior to surgery are two fold: a clear understanding by Dr. Pugash of your motivations and expectations, and thorough patient preparation and education so you have the most comfortable treatment experience possible.
Finally, your progress will be monitored through regular office visits after your surgery to ensure optimal healing. There is no additional charge for these visits.
Patients who come to the office for Botox or soft tissue augmentation (Restylane, Perlane, Artecoll, etc.) or for skin treatment programs will receive excellent care from Lorraine Kennedy, a registered nurse with extensive training in these areas of cosmetic medicine.
From the time of booking an appointment to the last visit following surgery all patients will enjoy the friendly and exceptionally competent services of Dr. Pugash's two office assistants, Meredith and Simone.
Dr. Pugash has built a busy cosmetic practice that thrives on the referrals of satisfied patients. They are pleased by his helpful and informative staff, the relaxed and friendly office atmosphere, and of course by their new look.
Dr. Pugash sees patients for consultations at his offices in Vancouver, White Rock, and New Westminster. He looks forward to showing you how your experience can be comfortable and fulfilling.
