When it comes to plastic surgery, the setting matters as much as the skill. At Youthful Images in Avon, our in-office operative facility combines the precision of a hospital with the comfort and privacy of a boutique surgery center. Every detail reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and personalized care.
Led by Dr. Patrick Felice, a board-certified plastic surgeon, our accredited outpatient surgery facility meets the same national standards for sterility, anesthesia, and emergency readiness as any hospital. What makes it special is how it feels: calm, familiar, and entirely focused on you.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia, oral sedation, or conscious sedation, reducing the risks tied to general anesthesia and allowing faster recovery with less downtime. You’re cared for by the same trusted physicians and team from start to finish, supported by a process that prioritizes your safety and comfort at every step.
An in-office operative facility is a medical suite within a private practice designed to perform cosmetic surgery in a controlled, hospital-grade environment. Think of it as your personal surgery center, built around your safety and peace of mind rather than hospital bureaucracy.
At Youthful Images, the facility includes sterile operating rooms, advanced life-support equipment, and an experienced staff trained in outpatient surgical care. Many cosmetic procedures can be performed right here using oral or local anesthesia, meaning you remain relaxed but awake, and can return home soon after surgery.
The decision to have surgery is significant, and comfort plays a big role in your confidence. Our in-office operative facility in Avon offers benefits that make the process easier for patients while maintaining the highest standards of medical care.
Key Benefits
Patients often say they appreciate the calm and discretion of our office setting. The environment supports both physical and emotional recovery, something our physicians have refined over decades of experience.
Our facility is ideal for patients who want expert surgical results without the stress of a hospital stay. You may be a good candidate if you’re in overall good health and have been cleared for outpatient surgery. Those who prefer minimal sedation or local anesthesia appreciate the comfort and convenience of this setting. Patients looking for smaller-scale procedures with limited incisions and shorter recovery times tend to benefit most from in-office surgery.
If you have certain medical conditions, require extensive reconstruction, or have significant anesthesia sensitivities, your surgeon may recommend a hospital-based setting for your safety.
We perform a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures in our facility, each one carefully planned to balance safety, artistry, and comfort.
Refresh your eyes with the precise removal or repositioning of excess skin and fat. This facial surgery can be done under local anesthesia for a faster recovery and little downtime.
Subtle refinement of the nasal tip can make a powerful difference in facial harmony. Performed under conscious sedation, this minor adjustment requires minimal incisions and no hospital time.
Otoplasty corrects prominent or uneven ears, restoring balance and proportion. It’s performed under oral sedation or local anesthesia for a comfortable, outpatient experience.
Dr. Felice specializes in advanced, minimal-scar facelift surgery, including deep-plane and short-scar techniques. Procedures are often performed under sedation for a safe, more relaxed experience and quicker healing.

For men dealing with excess chest tissue, gynecomastia surgery offers lasting improvement. Local anesthesia allows for comfort, privacy, and less pain during recovery.
Our surgeons perform liposuction to remove unwanted fat from the abdomen, neck, and other areas using refined techniques for smooth, natural contours.
Before surgery, our team will review your medical records, discuss medications, and order any necessary tests. Our staff will answer every question so you feel prepared and confident.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll check in at our office, meet with your surgeon and nurses, and settle into the operative suite. Anesthesia is administered, and the treatment begins once you’re completely comfortable. After surgery, you’ll recover in a quiet room until you’re cleared to go home with detailed aftercare instructions.
Because every treatment plan is tailored to the patient, costs vary depending on procedure type, anesthesia, and any combination of treatments. Your personalized estimate will include the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, facility use, supplies, and all post-operative visits for the first year.
By choosing an in-office surgery facility, patients often see significant difference compared to hospital-based care, without compromising safety or results. We’ll discuss payment options, accepted insurance (where applicable for reconstructive cases), and financing options.
Our facility meets national standards set by accrediting organizations for safety, infection control, and emergency preparedness. Every member of our surgical team is certified in advanced life support, and our anesthesia providers are fully licensed and experienced in outpatient surgical care.
This accredited environment ensures the same level of protection you’d find in a hospital, with the added benefit of personal, uninterrupted attention. The practice continuously updates equipment, protocols, and resources to stay aligned with the highest standards of modern plastic surgery.
