Coastal Empire Plastic Surgery Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Georgia & South Carolina Liposuction, Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) & Body Contouring Philosophy The ancient Greeks placed a high value on personal achievement. "Araté" meant "the pursuit of perfection", an ideal which they knew could never be attained. Nevertheless, they considered this pursuit a virtue, because it implied an attitude of achievement and a commitment to excellence. This is Coastal Empire Plastic Surgery's commitment to excellence: training from top medical schools, completion of rigorous residencies, and many years of reconstructive and aesthetic experience, all of which are critical to becoming a highly skilled and versatile plastic surgeon.
