Plastic Surgery & Safety Mission Statement El Paso

In an ideal world, patients would be able to assume that any plastic surgery experience would be safe and seamless, no matter where they choose to go. Unfortunately, this is not the case. That’s why at El Paso Plastic Surgery, we want you to clearly understand all the steps that have been taken to assure your safety and satisfaction when it comes to any procedure you pursue.

The founder of El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Ozan Sozer, sets the tone for our incredibly high standards for safety. He is committed to the safety of each and every patient that comes to El Paso Cosmetic Surgery.

Dr. Sozer personally selects and supervises a highly-skilled medical team that has been trained to provide exceptional care to patients. This team includes board-certified anesthesiologists who monitor surgical patients using highly-advanced equipment, as well as skilled registered nurses to provide compassionate care to each and every patient.

To further ensure patient safety, staff members receive advanced cardiovascular life support training every two years, and our facility is equipped with emergency life support and resuscitation equipment.


Finally, the El Paso Certified Surgical Center has received the highest certification possible from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), an organization that regulates surgical facilities to ensure that important safety criteria are met.
