The time was right for them to come out

Dr. Brown put my breast implants in 21 years ago and I was super happy with them and never had not one issue or problem with them. Fast forward 21 years later and I felt the time was right for them to come out. I had the implants removed, a breast lift and some liposuction. Its been 3 weeks since surgery and I’ve recovered beautifully with no issues! I am extremely happy with the results! Dr. Brown and his assistant Tania are the epitome of caring and kind health care professionals. Both are super knowledgeable and don’t hesitate to answer any questions or concerns no matter what. Plus, if they are unavailable, they always get back to you as quickly as possible. I felt I was in the best hands possible with my first surgery and the same with my second surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Brown to anyone looking for a breast augmentation or to have an implant removal and a lift. He is the best!

Rhinoplasty

1 week PO rhinoplasty with sedation - stitches done well, scar will be minimal

I recently had rhinoplasty surgery with sedation. I was nervous prior to the procedure, but Dr. Brown and his wonderful team helped put me at ease. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, kind and easy to talk to. The procedure was better than I could have hoped for, and I was completely comfortable the whole time. I was somewhat surprised at how easy and peaceful the whole experience was. It felt more like a day at the spa than anything else. The stitches were done very well, and I can tell the scar will be minimal and very clean in appearance. I would definitely recommend going to see Dr. Lorne Brown, you will be very satisfied!

Comfortable, Professional and Great Outcome

I recently had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Brown. I found that his entire team was amazing to deal with. Very friendly, efficient and knowledgable. I felt comfortable with Dr Brown from the very beginning and found that the entire process was uncomplicated. It's been 2 weeks and I'm already very happy with the results. I would highly recommend him!

Exceptional plastic surgeon! I look about twenty years younger today

Dr. Brown is an amazing and very skilled surgeon. I have gone to him for two face-lifts, one in 2008 and the second 2021. I look about twenty years younger today. I had minimal pain and bruising with only moderate swelling and was out and about within two weeks. In four weeks I was back in the gym working out. My Scars are not really visible. Post surgery, any questions I had were answered immediately, by Dr. Brown and his nurse Tanya. The Cambie Surgery center nurses were phenomenal with my post surgery recovery and discharge instructions. Thank you Dr. Brown.

One of the Best Cosmetic Surgeons in Vancouver

Dr. Brown has been my cosmetic surgeon for 25 years. He restored my unrecognizable breasts back to their youthful glory post nursing two kids. They are still amazing to this day. Most recently, he performed blepharoplasty for my hooded eyelids. I work in TV/Film, the hair and make up ladies say it’s the best job they have ever seen. I have always been beyond pleased with Dr. Browns work, professionalism and expert opinions. His staff are all fantastic too, especially Tanya. Dr. Brown is one of the best cosmetic surgeons in Vancouver.

His Nurse Tanya is aswell, very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. During my recovery process, Tanya always responded to my voicemails and emails in great speed. Happy I chose this team with my surgery and if I could do it all over again I would still choose them.

Breast Implant Removal and Lift Exceeded All my Expectations

I had breast implants and a lift performed by Dr. Brown in my 20's. I was pleased with the procedure but after having another child I saw Dr. Brown about 15 years later for another lift. Over the years my breasts began to sag and I wasn't happy with how top heavy and matronly my larger breasts looked. I also began to worry that after 30 years my implants were going to start leaking or breaking down and I began to obsess about having them removed. For months before the procedure I would look at before and after photos and worry my breasts would look deflated, flat or deformed after the implants were removed. I went back to see Dr. Brown and they were removed in November of 2020, almost 30 years after I had them put in and a breast lift was performed at the same time. The outcome exceeded all of my expectations. They are simply gorgeous and I look like I have 30 year old breasts. They are firm and high, much bigger than I thought they would be after having the implants removed and best of all - all me! 100% me and no more worrying about silicone implants. He did an incredible job. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome and wish I had done it much sooner. I feel thinner, younger and have more freedom with what I want to wear. I will also say that his staff are extremely friendly and professional. One of the best decisions I have ever made was having my implants removed. 100% was worth it and I would do it again but sooner.

Removed my 370cc implants under local and I’m so happy!!!!!

Dr. Brown did an exquisite job removing my breast implants under local anaesthesia. I was so happy to finally to get them out! Dr. Brown was really helpful and answered all of my questions to prepare me for the big day. I was really impressed with the entire staff at the office. I felt so comfortable the entire time and really felt I was in good hands. The procedure went by so smoothly I didn’t feel a thing! I was really worried about the injection and thought it would hurt but I’ve had more pain at the dentist and the worst I’ve had to do was fill a cavity. I didn’t even take a sedative, I just made sure to take it easy afterwards. It’s been a few weeks and I feel great. My results are better than I ever expected. You can tell Dr. Brown not only has a lot of experience, but has a special gift when it comes to surgery. My stitches are so beautifully done and you can barely see them. ( My previous stitches were around my nipples and were a mess ( diff dr) ) I couldn’t be happier or asked for a better outcome. His nurse Tanya was great as well, so nice and helpful with everything. Also a big thanks to Lisa for being so nice and getting me in :) I’m so happy !!!!!

My BREAST Reduction journey !

Tomorrow is my BR surgery Getting little bit anxious as I never had any surgical procedure done . My boobs now are 36/38 DDD and after my car accident my neck and back are constantly in pain. None of the treatments is working so after conversation with my GP and my psysiotherapist, I decide to go for BR. I never was small on my chest , usually c/d but resent my those saggy and heavy triple DDD really bothers me. I prepared my bed, house, stock my food, pillows and books to read for those first days of healing. I trying to not thinking about tomorrow and keep my attention on others things but getting nervous as time goes by. Please keep the fingers cross Updated on 4 Mar 2020: Surgery was yesterday . No it sure how long was it as I went to or 11 am and woke up 5 ish in recovery room. Most not comfortable was my dry throat. Very surprised with the size and my neck pain disappeared. Tomorrow will have drain removed . Still sore under arms where my doctor performed liposuction along with breast reduction Hope to see entire work tomorrow . Updated on 5 Mar 2020: Today I had dressing removed and changed tapes. Unfortunately my drains have to stay a little longer. They don’t bother me much anymore and rather have drain everything . Pain is very low, manageable by regular Tylenol . Only sore where lipo was done. Can’t wait to see final result as I am hoping for B size Updated on 19 Mar 2020: Today is 2 weeks and 2 days after my surgery. Healing is very good. One is still bit swollen and appear larger - since more tissue was removed . No pain except soreness where additional lipo was done . Stitches removed . In 2 weeks I will start to apply tape. Got the green light to start some exercise. Very happy and lucky to have this done before corona virus hit and all surgeries are cancel now Updated on 4 Jun 2020: Dr Brown performed my surgery 3 month ago. I couldn’t choose a better doctor . Dr Brown is talented and knowledgeable physician with huge experience. A result of my surgery exceed my expectations His staff and nurse Tanya were very helpful with that process. If you need any transformation of your body choose Dr Brown ! Updated on 4 Jun 2020: Dr Brown did my breast reduction in March. A result exceed my expectations.  He is very talented surgeon, very knowledgeable with extraordinary bed manners.I couldn’t get better.  He transformed my heavy large breast to small perky one. I will always recommended Dr Brown to anyone who need any plastic procedure done. His staff: receptionist and nurse Tanya are fabulous team .  Thank you Dr Brown Updated on 30 May 2021: It’s been already 1.3 year since my surgery and I can’t be more happy. My Brest adjust already to natural shape. Of course it a little bit of sagging because of my age but I still can go bra less. My advice is if you still not sure to get this procedure, go and get it. The only thing you will regret is why you didn’t do that earlier
