Confidentiality, from your very first visit, may be one of your greatest concerns. Not only does the Hilton Head Island Plastic Surgery staff thoroughly understand this, but our facility was specifically designed to achieve total privacy.
A great deal of care has been given to providing a comfortable and restful environment throughout HHIPS. Both a public reception room and a private waiting area with a separate entrance are provided.
Our facilities include a consulting office, examination rooms, a minor surgery room, a fully equipped, accredited, state-of-the-art operating suite and a post-operative recovery area.

These comprehensive facilities allow us to perform in-office surgery for most cosmetic procedures while assuring your safety and confidentiality. The location of HHIPS on the campus of the Hilton Head Regional Medical Center also affords a further measure of assurance.

Hilton Head Island Plastic Surgery's in-office surgical facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF).

AAAASF-Accredited Facilities Must Meet Stringent Requirements

All AAAASF-accredited facilities must:

• Comply with applicable local, state, and federal regulations including fire safety, sanitation and building codes for the protection of patients and medical personnel.
• Adhere to federal laws and regulations affecting their operation.
• Utilize advanced instruments and monitoring devices for patient safety during surgery and in the recovery period.
• All surgery is to be performed only by qualified surgeons who have privileges to perform the same surgical procedures in an accredited hospital. Surgeons must be certified (or eligible for certification) in surgical specialties recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
• Provide for the administration of general anesthesia, when appropriate, by a board-certified or board-eligible anesthesiologist or a certified nurse anesthetist. Other personnel assisting in surgery and providing care for the patient in the recovery room include specially trained and certified surgical technicians, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses.

Dr. Laughlin and patient care coordinator, and surgical assistant, Linda Laughlin look forward to welcoming you.
