Services
Breast Augmentation
Our breast augmentation procedures offer customized solutions for women seeking enhanced breast size and shape. Using advanced techniques like the patented No Scar on the Breast endoscopic approach, we provide natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Patients benefit from personalized implant selection, including silicone and saline options, with precise placement tailored to individual anatomy. Our board-certified surgeons have performed over 8,500 procedures, making us one of the most experienced practices in the Southeast. The transaxillary approach through the underarm incision offers optimal safety and aesthetic outcomes.
Endoscopic Facelift
This minimally invasive facial rejuvenation technique addresses aging through small incisions and fiber optic technology. Our deep-plane facelift approach repositions underlying tissues for longer-lasting results compared to traditional skin-pulling methods. Patients experience reduced recovery time and natural-looking outcomes without the 'wind-tunnel' appearance. The procedure can be combined with Renuvion technology for enhanced skin tightening around the jawline and neck. Our surgeons have trained colleagues nationally on these advanced techniques.
Body Contouring
Comprehensive body shaping solutions address post-weight loss changes and stubborn fat deposits. Our high-lateral tension tummy tuck and power-assisted liposuction techniques deliver precise results with minimal scarring. The drainless abdominoplasty method reduces recovery time while maintaining safety standards. Patients benefit from combined procedures that address multiple areas simultaneously, with specialized expertise in revisional surgeries for improved contour outcomes.
BOTOX Cosmetic
Our Allergan Black Diamond status recognizes us among the top 1% of BOTOX providers nationwide. Certified specialist Bill Edelman PA-C administers over 5,000 treatments annually using precise injection techniques. The service addresses dynamic wrinkles, excessive sweating, and migraine management through customized treatment plans. Patients receive honest consultations without upselling, with pricing based on individual needs rather than standardized packages.
Liposuction
Advanced body contouring using power-assisted and ultrasonic techniques removes localized fat deposits. Our surgeons employ specialized cannulas for smooth results with minimal contour irregularities. The procedure can be combined with skin-tightening technologies for comprehensive body shaping. Patients receive personalized consultations to determine optimal treatment areas and realistic expectations based on skin elasticity and body composition factors.
