- Procedure time 1-2 hours under general anesthesia; may be combined with a facelift (same page).
- Brow lift. Attributed to Dr. Janssen specifically: open technique (hairline or scalp incision with skin resection near the hairline) or endoscopic technique (minimal incisions, instruments guided by an endoscope) (source).

The practice offers facelift (Dr. Janssen's combined MACS/lateral skin displacement technique), breast, body and vein procedures, and a medispa (fvpsurgery.com).
