Rhinoplasty: eligible age 16 for girls, 17 for boysPatients are eligible for a nose job at around 16 years old for girls and 17 for boys.
Liposuction: outpatient, tumescent or ultrasound-assisted techniqueAt our office in Birmingham liposuction is an outpatient procedure and is typically performed with one of two techniques: tumescent technique and the ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL).
Liposuction: tumescent technique removes 8-10x more fat safelyIn certain patients, eight to 10 times as much fat can now be more safely removed with the tumescent technique than what was previously possible using "dry" liposuction alone.
Liposuction: ultrasonic works well on inner thigh, backUltrasonic liposuction may yield better results in areas such as the upper inner thigh or the back where the non-invasive ultrasound waves can more easily breakdown the softer fatty tissue.
Tummy tuck: mini for small excess skin, lower abdomenA partial abdominoplasty, also called a Mini Tummy Tuck , is performed on people who have a small amount of excess skin and muscle laxity in the lower abdomen.
Tummy tuck: mini candidates in good shape with small poochThe best candidates for a Mini Tummy Tuck are those in good physical shape but who still have a small "pooch" in their lower abdomen.
Tummy tuck: mini not a substitute for diet, exerciseA Mini Tummy Tuck is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise regimen, rather it enhances the results of that lifestyle .
Breast augmentation: minimally invasive technique sets practice apartAt Core Plastic Surgery, we take pride in offering an advanced approach to breast augmentation , emphasizing a minimally invasive technique that sets us apart in Alabama.

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
