Dr. Giuffre's Cosmetic Plastic Surgery practice is done at the Plastic & Cosmetic Laser Surgical Centre (PCLSC) in Edmonton.
The PCLSC is a Non-Hospital Surgical Facility (three full operating rooms) accredited by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons. A wide variety of cosmetic procedures are offered by Dr. Giuffre as day procedures (home the same day of surgery) either under local anaesthetic, local anaesthetic with conscious sedation or general anaesthetic (this is provided by a fully accredited hospital based anaesthetic specialist). All medical staff at PCLSC are ACLS (acute cardiac life support) accredited.
In addition to cosmetic surgery procedures, other ancillary non surgical cosmetic treatments using Botox, Latisse, a variety of fillers, laser treatments and laser hair removal are offered at the facility. More information on all surgical and nonsurgical procedures are found on the PCLSC website: www.pclsc.ca
All patients are seen in consultation by Dr. Giuffre, in his office, prior to booking a surgical procedure.
The office is adjacent to the surgical facility.

Dr. Martin J. Giuffre
Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeon
As a Plastic Surgeon, I was trained to manage the 4 "C's":
The Catastrophic defects that can result from injuries and trauma, for example, burns, car accidents, and other accidents and mishaps; the Reconstructive management of defects following the treatment for Cancer; the Reconstruction management for the treatment of Congenital defects; and, the wide range of Cosmetic Surgery available today.
Providing excellent care for my patients requires skill, and training, and experience, but most importantly, it is a physician's integrity, which is the foundation for a patient's trust.
