Up to date techniques and the introduction of new techniques such as liposuction in 1982, tumescent liposuction in the late 1980s, endoscopic small incision cosmetic surgery, and most recently the availability of the Silk Touch Laser for skin resurfacing, have been some of the state of the art techniques introduced or performed at Park Ridge. REASONABLE COSTS The Hospital has been extremely cooperative in trying to provide very reasonable rates for services. The hospital administration has taken time to assure that very specific procedures are cost listed. This enables individuals to have less extensive surgery. SAFETY Safety is an important aspect of cosmetic surgery. Park Ridge Ambulatory Surgery Center was the second such center approved by the State of New York to provide ambulatory (usually same day ) surgery. Park Ridge Ambulatory Surgery Center is a facility approved by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Hospitals Organization (JCAHO).

The availability of highly trained and Board Certified anesthesiologists enables the Plastic Surgeon to deliver care to a diversified age group. Cosmetic surgery is available for the young and for those who are young in their eight and ninth decades !!! EXTENDED STAYS 'Extended' or 'overnight stay' services are available thru the ambulatory unit for many years. Individuals having extensive cosmetic surgery have the option of an extended stay. For a very reasonable cost an overnight stay arrangement can be made for a supervised recovery under the direction of the plastic surgeon. Some individuals like the security of the extended stay. Some who live far from the city may elect to stay over night. While the service is not usually needed, it is and has been available at a reasonable cost. OUR CONTINUED GOAL The hospital has worked with the staff plastic surgeons over many years to make Park Ridge a leader in cosmetic surgery. Our mutual goal continues to be personalized, quality surgical care for a spectrum of age groups at a reasonable cost but most of all, with safety.
