At Downey Plastic Surgery, we deliver medical professionalism with every procedure. Dr. Downey places an emphasis on safety and uses an innovative, flexible approach which is customized to your body and your goals. He always strives to achieve a highly satisfying experience for patients having either cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedures.

At Downey Plastic Surgery we eliminate mistakes of identification by checking at least two identifiers belonging to you every time you visit. Dr. Downey will pause before every operation and verbally list your identifiers and the name of the operation you are about to have. He will work directly with you before surgery to precisely identify the site of your surgery. And with your help, he will maintain an up-to-date list of medical conditions you have, medicines you are taking, and allergies you may have.

Your treatment will be conducted either in an operating room at Northwest Hospital or a procedure room at Downey Plastic Surgery, all of which are certified by both Medicare and AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities.) In either case, you can be confident that your operation will be performed in a safe, modern facility with competent and caring staff.

It is important that you scrutinize the training, quality, experience, and safety of a physician before deciding if he should be your plastic surgeon. Dr. Downey is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a fellow in the American College of Surgeons, which indicates that he has met the highest level of requirements for practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Downey’s staff can help clarify for you the difference between the specialty of Plastic Surgery, which is a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties, and the growing number of self-invented boards whose members represent themselves as having training equivalent to a plastic surgeon, but might not.
