Plastic Surgery makes getting a facelift almost as easy
as buying a sweater. At least that’s the goal
of creator Lloyd Krieger, ’89, who endorses the
concept of “retail surgery.”
The 5,000-square-foot facility, which opened in August,
is designed to combine the convenience of storefront
shopping with Beverly Hills luxury, what Krieger terms
the “Four Seasons treatment.” The center
features posh exam rooms, bamboo floors and marble countertops.
However, ordering a tummy tuck isn’t quite as
easy as pointing to an item on a shelf—patients
usually have two consultations.
“Because cosmetic surgery is elective, people
are looking for a first-class experience,” says
Kreiger, who attended medical school at the University
of Chicago. “More people are interested in having
plastic surgery these days. We are looking to provide
an obtainable luxury.”
