At The Refine Institute, we believe cosmetic surgery is rooted in gentle precision and polished elegance. Our unique 360º approach to restoring your health and image is the most advanced and forward-thinking process available. This three-tiered process allows you to benefit from the subtle and positive changes you desire, while also giving you a customized wellness program you can maintain for years to come. Learn more about the triad of our practice—Core Consultation, High Tech/Less Invasive, and Technique Expertise—as well as our renowned surgeon, Dr. Andrew Gear.
A comprehensive approach to wellness
While cosmetic surgery may be the answer for some, prolonging its benefits and ensuring total health is an essential aspect of complete care. The Refine Institute is just one aspect of patient wellness. Our in-house wellness counselor supports our patients and helps guide them in their own personal refinement process. From biologic measures of health, such as anti-oxidants, to tailored nutritional programs, to medical skin care and skin care lines, The Refine Institute is a complete resource for evaluating and treating the whole person.
Minimally invasive technology
Thanks to technological advances in cosmetic surgery, less invasive techniques become available every year. The Refine Institute is committed to offering the latest proven methods in less-invasive surgery so we may offer our patients an optimized outcome while reducing recovery time. Although the scalpel is still necessary in many cases, it can now be supplemented or even replaced with newer technologies such as laser-assisted liposuction, and fractionated CO2 skin resurfacing.
Specialty training
Just as artists bring a sharp eye to their craft, cosmetic surgery involves a mindset that is developed over a lifetime. With each new procedure introduced to the cosmetic surgery field comes a new set of skills that can only be fostered and formed during training. In order to ensure these new techniques are performed with the highest level of care, Dr. Gear, who leads the Institute, has undergone rigorous training in all body contouring and breast procedures as well as skin resurfacing. Dr. Gear remains committed to ongoing training with nationally recognized experts in cutting-edge technologies such as Smartlipo, the SmartXide DOT laser, and Natural Fat Transfer.
