Azul Beauty Podcast #311 (Dr. Flaharty, Lower Face, Brow Fat, & Surgery Center)

Yes, we have six offices, plus a surgical center, which we're going to talk about today, as well as surgical

arts.

That's something pretty special, because when you look at choosing a plastic surgeon or a med spa, you've got to look at a bunch of different things.

And I think this is one of the things that sets you apart, is having this concierge-type service when it comes to surgery, because you're not sharing services.

an operating room with a bunch of different people in for all kinds of different things.

Everyone is there strictly for a lower face and neck lift or upper face and neck lift or just facelift in general.

Right, right.

Yeah, I mean, it was always a dream of mine to have our own surgical center for many years.

I was a part of a bigger surgical center, which was fine.

It was a good surgical center.

It just was not dedicated to cosmetic surgery, which is different.

You know, I mean, the lower volume, lower turnover –

And what else makes it different? What else sets it apart? I mean, you have specific anesthesiologists and stuff.

Yeah, I mean, just

having the control over the whole environment and having it be, you know, a relatively small, it's like a boutique service, you know, it's like the difference between like a huge Hilton hotel and a really nice boutique hotel.

Right, right, got it.

And that makes a difference for patients.

We have private rooms for the patients to check into.

There's just one operating room, so we only do one patient at a time.

That makes a difference.

Everybody in the facility is dedicated to that one person while they're there.

And then private recovery areas.

So the privacy is one issue.

The personal care is one issue.

You don't have a nurse taking care of three or four or five patients at a time.
