Plastic surgery in Summerville

Blepharoplasty

Also called eyelid surgery

Surgery that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes, addressing hooded upper lids and under-eye bags that no injectable can fix.

Rhinoplasty

Also called nose job

Surgery that reshapes the nose, and the most technically demanding operation in facial plastic surgery, where surgeon selection matters more than in any other procedure.

Breast Augmentation

Also called breast implants

Surgery that increases breast size using implants or fat transfer, and the most commonly performed cosmetic operation in the United States.

Liposuction

Surgical removal of localized fat deposits through small incisions, the definitive option for pockets that resist diet and exercise.

Tummy Tuck

Surgery that removes excess abdominal skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles, addressing what no amount of exercise can fix after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Facelift

Surgery that repositions the deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin, addressing jowls and midface descent that no injectable or device can lift.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, or thighs with transfer of that fat to the buttocks, and the cosmetic operation that demands the most careful surgeon selection of any procedure we list.

Breast Lift

Also called mastopexy

Surgery that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, without changing size the way implants do.

Breast Reduction

Surgery that removes breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and relieve the neck, back, and shoulder pain that large breasts cause, and one of the few cosmetic operations insurance sometimes covers.

Mommy Makeover

A combination of procedures performed in one operation to address the abdominal and breast changes that follow pregnancy, most commonly a tummy tuck with a breast lift or augmentation.

Buccal Fat Removal

A short procedure that removes the buccal fat pad from the lower cheek to create a more sculpted, hollowed look, and the operation most likely to be regretted if done at the wrong age.

Otoplasty

Also called ear pinning

Surgery that reshapes or repositions prominent ears closer to the head, commonly performed on children but equally effective in adults.

Labiaplasty

Surgery that reduces or reshapes the labia minora, most often sought for physical discomfort during exercise, sex, or with clothing rather than appearance alone.

Neck Lift

Also called platysmaplasty

Surgery that tightens the neck muscles, removes loose skin, and sharpens the angle under the chin, the region where aging often shows first and devices help least.

Brow Lift

Also called forehead lift

Surgery that raises a descended brow to its natural position, opening the upper eye area and softening the tired or stern look that heavy brows create.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Also called male breast reduction

Surgery that removes glandular tissue and fat to flatten the male chest, the definitive fix for a condition that diet and training often cannot touch.

Arm Lift

Surgery that removes the loose, hanging skin on the upper arm that follows major weight loss or aging, usually with liposuction of any remaining fat, through an incision along the inner arm. The only fix for skin that hangs; the trade is a scar most people consider worth it.

Lip Lift

A short surgery that removes a strip of skin just under the nose to shorten the space between nose and lip, rolling the upper lip outward so more pink lip shows and the mouth looks fuller and younger at rest. Permanent, and the fix for a long upper lip that filler makes worse.

Lipo 360

Liposuction of the whole midsection in one operation, abdomen, flanks, waist and back treated as a single shape rather than separate zones, often with high-definition sculpting of the abdominal lines. The most searched liposuction procedure in the US, and the one where volume, BMI and skin quality decide the result.

Panniculectomy

Surgical removal of the pannus, the apron of skin and fat that hangs over the pubic area after major weight loss or pregnancy, without the muscle repair or navel repositioning of a tummy tuck. Often a medical rather than cosmetic operation, and the one abdominal surgery insurance may cover when rashes, infections and mobility problems are documented.
