How Our Surgery Center Ensures Your Comfort and Safety

Plastic surgery differs from traditional surgery, primarily because it’s totally optional. You’re choosing to get this procedure because you know it will improve your appearance and your quality of life. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have the same concerns as anyone else heading into the operating room.

When you choose plastic surgery, you want your procedure performed by a top-tier surgeon in a safe, comfortable environment. And that’s why Linda Swanson, MD, performs all of our procedures at the Plastic Surgery Center of South Bay. 

At this Torrance, California-based facility, Dr. Swanson and our team are able to deliver leading-edge surgical procedures in an ideal location.

To help you better understand how our surgery center ensures your comfort and safety, we want to outline three things that set it apart. 

AAAASF accreditation 

Virtually every surgeon would say their operating room is a safe environment. But you probably want more than the opinion of an individual. That’s why we chose to get the Plastic Surgery Center of South Bay accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). 

With this accreditation, you get proof that we align with stringent patient safety and quality standards. The accreditation process is rigorous and gets reevaluated on a yearly basis to ensure it’s continually applicable.

Our goal in securing the stamp of approval from the AAAASF is to provide validation of our surgery center’s standards with a trusted third-party. 

To see all of the standards with which we must 100% comply to maintain our accreditation, you can review this checklist. 

An experienced surgeon

When you choose Dr. Swanson and our surgery center, you don’t have to worry that you’ll end up with a surgeon you don’t know. Dr. Swanson personally performs all of our procedures, which means you can rest easy knowing you’re in extremely experienced, board-certified hands. 

Dr. Swanson is a member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Aesthetic Society. 

Convenient and supportive location

We chose to locate the Plastic Surgery Center of South Bay in the heart of the renowned Torrance medical community, right next to the award-winning Torrance Memorial Medical Center. This delivers two benefits.

First, you may already be familiar with the area if you’ve visited any of the other medical providers nearby. And that can help you feel more comfortable.

Secondly, it means we have a full suite of medical care immediately available should any serious complications arise. Although complications are extremely rare because Dr. Swanson is such an experienced plastic surgeon, we hope that it helps you rest easier. 

We’re proud to perform our procedures at our safe, comfortable surgery center. If you’d like to learn more about the center or the surgeries Dr. Swanson offers, call our office nearest to you or book a visit online today.
