About Our Office

We pride ourselves on making your entire experience with us pleasurable. Private entrances and exit ways lead to our separate pre and post procedure reception areas. This helps to ensure your privacy and maintain your confidentiality. The Georgia Institute for Plastic Surgery's state-of-the-art surgical center is equipped to perform minor procedures as well as most cosmetic operations. The surgery center is independently certified and equipped to hospital standards. A 23-hour unit with skilled plastic surgery nurses is available for your post-operative care if necessary.

The opportunity to have your surgery performed in our office rather than a hospital adds to your convenience, privacy and less expense.

The Georgia Institute for Plastic Surgery also offers aesthetic services. We have a full time licensed aesthetician who offers a wide range of services from facials to waxings. Other ancillary services include Endermologie treatments and laser hair removal.

Our primary surgery center is located in Savannah, Georgia with satellite offices located in Bluffton/ Hilton Head, S.C.; Statesboro; Vidalia; Springfield; Hinesville and Richmond Hill for your convenience.

The plastic surgeons and staff of The Georgia Institute For Plastic Surgery are honored by your consideration of us. If there are ways we can improve your experience with us, please let us know. We consider the referral of your friends and family members to our practice as the highest compliment and pledge our best efforts to serve their needs.
