In New Hampshire most of the board certified plastic surgeons are found in the southern portion of the state, clustered in Manchester, Portsmouth, Nashua and Concord.  The one exception to this generality is Hanover, home to Dartmouth and its Hitchcock Medical Center.  Dartmouth has one of the best medical schools in the Northeast, if not the nation. 

In many ways Southern New Hampshire is an extension of the Boston metro area.  Many of its residents commute to Massachusetts to work and have come to New Hampshire from other places.  New Hampshire’s outpatient cosmetic surgery clinics also service clients who travel from Vermont and Maine.  The classic New England culture, overshadowed by Dartmouth, has resulted in highly qualified medical personnel serving the area – including cosmetic plastic surgeons.

With patients coming from several directions most of New Hampshire’s board certified plastic surgeons keep up with the latest developments in cosmetic surgery.  For example, products such as Restylane and the new plasma skin rejuvenation equipment are in use in many of the state’s cosmetic plastic surgery centers.  Restylane is a new filler used to smooth out facial wrinkles, while the plasma skin treatment technology allows for treating layers of the skin beneath the surface.

Portsmouth is New Hampshire’s Atlantic port city, located on the coast between Southern Maine and Northern Massachusetts.  It’s also an old city that has been an established center of commerce for over 200 years.  There are a number of quality medical facilities there along with the requisite cosmetic surgery outpatient facilities.  Portsmouth plastic surgeons advertise their convenient location for Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire residents, especially those who may chose non-surgical options such as Botox or Restylane for making the face smoother and younger.  These treatments do not have permanent results, requiring renewal after six months to a year.

New Hampshire’s cosmetic plastic surgeons can provide you with a wide selection of practices to choose from.  Some doctors specialize in procedures such as vein treatments or breast augmentation.  Others operate a general practice using both surgical and non-surgical methods to achieve a youthful appearance.  Some operate in conjunction with spas that provide treatments such as chemical face peels, baths and other salon-type services.  The choice is yours; look for a board certified surgeon whose surgical facility is accredited as well.
