QUAD A-Accredited Office-Based Surgical Suite New Orleans, LA
At the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa, our private office-based surgery suite provides a safe, comfortable setting for cosmetic surgery in Metairie. Patients receive care from Dr. Jules Walters and the same familiar clinical team who supported them during consultation and surgical planning.
Our suite is accredited through QUAD A, demonstrating compliance with recognized standards for patient safety, facility operations, anesthesia care, infection prevention, emergency preparedness, and quality improvement.
From facial plastic surgery and breast procedures to body contouring, eligible surgeries can take place in a private facility dedicated to cosmetic patients.
An office-based surgery suite is a dedicated operating facility located within a medical practice. It is separate from a hospital or ambulatory surgery center and is equipped for approved outpatient procedures.
The MODERN surgical suite includes an operating room, advanced monitoring equipment, emergency resources, and a dedicated postoperative recovery area. It is separate from our consultation rooms, clinic rooms, and medspa treatment spaces.
Having surgery within the practice keeps each stage of your care connected. Your preoperative visits, procedure, early recovery, and follow-up appointments all take place with a team that knows your medical history and surgical plan.
A private surgical suite gives our team greater control over scheduling, privacy, staffing, and the overall patient experience while maintaining strict standards for outpatient surgery.
Benefits include:
The suite offers a contained, personal setting with the personnel and safety resources required for approved cosmetic procedures.
QUAD A, formerly known as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, evaluates outpatient surgical facilities against established standards for patient safety and quality of care.
Earning accreditation requires an on-site survey and extensive review of the facility’s policies, staff, equipment, and operations. Areas evaluated include:
Accredited facilities must continue meeting QUAD A requirements after the initial survey. This creates an ongoing system of evaluation, documentation, and improvement throughout the life of the facility.
The MODERN office-based surgery suite can accommodate select cosmetic procedures for the face, breasts, and body. These include:
The appropriate setting depends on your health, the length and extent of surgery, anesthesia needs, and the expected recovery. Some procedures or medical circumstances may require a hospital or ambulatory surgery center. Dr. Walters will recommend the setting with the right resources for your case.
One of the main advantages of surgery at the MODERN is continuity. The people caring for you on the day of your procedure are part of the same team that helped plan it.
Your experience begins with a consultation and medical evaluation. Dr. Walters reviews your concerns, health history, surgical options, and expected recovery before recommending a procedure. The team then provides preparation instructions and coordinates the details leading up to surgery.
On the day of your procedure, you will check in at the MODERN and meet with the nursing and anesthesia teams. Dr. Walters will review the surgical plan, answer final questions, and complete any necessary markings before surgery begins.
Afterward, you will recover in a dedicated post-anesthesia area under close observation. Once you are awake, stable, and meet the required discharge criteria, you may return home with your designated adult caregiver.
A surgical facility has to function with precision, but it can still feel calm and welcoming. Our suite gives cosmetic surgery patients a private experience from arrival through discharge.
Patients can expect:
The smaller setting also limits unnecessary transitions between departments. You remain in one location with a team focused on your procedure and recovery.
Preparation depends on your procedure and anesthesia plan. During your preoperative appointment, the team will review medications, supplements, allergies, nicotine use, health conditions, and any previous reactions to anesthesia. Bloodwork or additional medical clearance may be required.
You will receive instructions covering eating and drinking restrictions, bathing, medication use, arrival time, and what to wear. You will also need a responsible adult to drive you home and remain with you for the period specified by the surgical team.
Following these instructions helps keep surgery on schedule and reduces avoidable risks.
Anesthesia is administered and monitored by an experienced anesthesia professional who remains focused on your breathing, circulation, vital signs, and comfort throughout the procedure.
The anesthesia plan is selected according to the operation, expected surgical time, medical history, and level of sedation required. Your previous anesthesia experiences and current medications will be reviewed before surgery.
Your first stage of recovery takes place in the suite under the observation of trained clinical staff. The team monitors your vital signs, comfort, surgical sites, and response to anesthesia before approving discharge.
Recovery at home varies by procedure. You may need prescription medication, compression garments, incision care, activity restrictions, or a specific sleeping position. Written postoperative instructions explain what to expect, which symptoms are common, and when to contact the practice.
Follow-up appointments allow Dr. Walters to monitor healing, remove or adjust dressings when needed, and guide your return to exercise and other activities.
At the MODERN, surgical planning begins with a direct question: “Is this in the best interest of our patient?”
That standard guides patient selection, procedure recommendations, anesthesia planning, infection prevention, monitoring, discharge, and postoperative care. If an office-based procedure is not appropriate for your health or surgical needs, Dr. Walters will recommend another facility.
Choosing the MODERN means choosing a practice committed to excellent cosmetic results, clear communication, and careful surgical care at every stage.
Dr. Jules Walters is board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, with extensive training in cosmetic procedures for the face, breasts, and body. Our accredited office-based suite allows him to perform eligible surgeries in the same Metairie practice where patients complete their consultations, preparation, and postoperative visits.
The private setting, experienced surgical staff, anesthesia care, and QUAD A safety standards support a smooth experience from check-in through recovery.
