Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. A woman may choose this cosmetic surgery to enhance her body contour, to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, to balance a difference in breast size or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.

Plastic surgery encompasses cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Reconstructive surgery rebuilds physical features altered as a result of accident, disease or birth defect. Cosmetic surgery improves the appearance of some physical feature that is otherwise normal in appearance. Procedures include breast augmentation, reduction and lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, eyelid surgery, face lift, and nose surgery. More about Savannah Enhancement Surgery

Patients who undergo breast reduction surgery are frequently seeking relief from physical symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction usually can solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction, your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better. Male breast reduction can also correct gynecomastia, or enlarged breasts on men. More about Savannah Breast Reduction

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breast lift surgery can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.

Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can enhance your appearance by removing stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. The best candidates for a tummy tuck are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The cosmetic surgery can also be particularly helpful to women after pregnancy has stretched her abdominal muscles and skin. More about Savannah Tummy Tuck

A face lift is a surgical procedure that improves the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. As people age, deep creases can form between the nose and mouth, the jawline can grow slack and jowly, and folds and fat deposits may appear around the neck. A face lift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. More about Savannah Face Lift

Nose surgery is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the nose, and it's one of the most common of all cosmetic surgery procedures. Also called rhinoplasty, nose surgery enhances your appearance by changing the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrowing the span of the nostrils, or changing the angle between your nose and your upper lip. Nose surgery may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems. More about Savannah Nose Surgery

Unwanted lines and creases can add years to the appearance of your face. Fortunately, there are several non-surgical procedures that can reduce those lines and give your skin a much younger look. Botox injections can result in a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, or forehead. We also now offer Dysport, a budget-friendly alternative to Botox. And you don't even need an appointment for Botox, Dysport, or many of our dermal filler treatments, such as Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane. More about Savannah Botox and Fillers
