40 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday October 21, 2006 www.oakvillebeaver.com Dr Weiglein Burlington's #1 Plastic Surgeon Dr. Weiglein is a Plastic Surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. His training has taken him around the world. After completing a BSc at the University of Alberta he studied medicine at the University of Calgary. It was then, in the early days of his medical school years, that he developed a passion for plastic surgery. Plastic surgery training was unavailable in Calgary at that time which meant a move to the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. The London program was renowned as very demanding, very exhaustive and very successful. Following this Dr. Weiglein was selected to receive the prestigious McLaughlin Fellowship. He traveled to Japan and Australia for postgraduate training in Reconstructive Microsurgery which involves the precise reconnection of minute blood vessels in order to salvage (or transfer) human limbs or tissues. There are no careless microsurgeons. Dr. Weiglein returned to Canada in 1982 and started his practice in Burlington, Ontario. Dr. Weiglein's surgical facility, the Centre for Personal Surgery, is the area's first and only free standing, private surgery centre. It was during these years that Dr. Weiglein began to focus on the unique needs and desires of the cosmetic surgery patient. This sub-specialty of plastic surgery allows him to combine his rigorous surgical training with his innate artistic and esthetic values. Dr. Weiglein's skills are constantly upgraded. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, a group among whose members are some of the best known cosmetic surgeons in the world. Is how you look really important? Yes. After almost twenty years of dealing with the unique needs of Cosmetic surgery clients what have we learned? Cosmetic surgery clients are just like everyone else. They desire respect for their needs. They want the highest standards of professionalism in a confidential, safe environment. They want to trust and be trusted. The Centre for Personal Surgery was designed and built from the ground up to provide for these needs in a smart, modern and comforting architecturally designed space. That's why we named it the Centre for Personal Surgery - it?s all about you and your needs. The Center is not a hospital. People who have cosmetic surgery are not ill. And not everyone needs cosmetic surgery. Hospitals concentrate on dealing with illness. Our Centre deals with physically and psychologically healthy individuals and helps them to take control of their lives through the power of cosmetic surgical rejuvenation. We are serious about your safety. The Centre is inspected and fully accredited by the Canadian Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (CAAASF). To maintain accreditation, member facilities must provide evidence that the standards set out by CAAASF are adhered to in the day-to-day workings of the surgical unit. This is accomplished by written reports and periodic inspections. The aim of the Canadian Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities is to protect the public. For more information about our accredited facility please contact: The Canadian Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, 1-905-831-5804, www.caaasf.org. The Centre is a free standing self contained building near the center of Burlington, Ontario. It opened in 1993. A custom built free standing building was deliberately chosen to avoid the confidentiality problems associated with commercial buildings, their traffic and their public elevators. All procedures are carried out within the Centre. Those clients who would benefit from an overnight stay following their procedure are provided with one to one nursing care. There is no need for a hospital stay. The Centre specializes exclusively in cosmetic procedures and anti-aging therapeutics. We don't just do cosmetic surgery- it is the only thing that we do. We are not distracted by all the other procedures non specialized plastic surgeon's are involved with.
