Featured Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery gives you the opportunity to transform your breast size, shape, and volume. This procedure uses breast implants to increase the volume of your breasts, but they can also change breast shape and feel. For many women, enhancing their breast size helps them feel healthy, confident, and attractive.
Featured Procedures
Liposuction
If you want to enhance your physique by trimming stubborn pockets of fat that exercise alone can’t target, liposuction may be the right solution for you. Liposuction offers a tried-and-tested method for permanently eliminating persistent fat in the abdomen, hips, thighs, upper arms, neck, and chin.
Featured Procedures
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck offers you the chance to achieve a flat and toned abdomen, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body. If you have lost weight, but you still don’t love your shape, a tummy tuck can help by removing excess skin and fat, giving you the waist contour that you desire.
Featured Procedures
Mommy Makeover
Motherhood comes with plenty of perks, but it’s normal to wish for your pre-baby body. A mommy makeover is a personalized set of procedures designed to restore pre-pregnancy contours, regain confidence, and empower you to feel your best. Our team at Providence Plastic Surgery & Skin Center has helped thousands of moms meet their post-pregnancy body goals.
Featured Procedures
IPL/BBL
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (broadband light therapy) gently treats a range of skin concerns, revealing a brighter, clearer complexion. Whether you’re hoping to address sun damage, redness, or uneven tone, we tailor this safe and effective treatment to your needs, restoring radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Featured Procedures
Botox
Botox® treatments offer a gentle, effective way to smooth fine lines and restore a naturally refreshed look. If you’re hoping to ease wrinkles, lighten frown lines and crow’s feet, or rejuvenate your appearance, Botox can help you feel self-assured and comfortable in your skin. Our team works with each patient to develop a custom treatment plan for optimal results.
Featured Procedures
Lip Filler
Lip filler treatments made from hyaluronic acid gently enhance the natural shape and softness of your lips, giving you a refreshed look. Whether you seek subtle definition or fuller lips, we design each session around your comfort and personal preferences to help you feel radiant and truly yourself.
Featured Procedures
Laser Hair Removal
Most adults devote a lot of time to grooming away unwanted hair, and laser hair removal can put an end not only to the time spent shaving, plucking, or waxing but also to the unpleasant side effects of those habits. Fully customizable, laser hair removal offers a gentle technique to banish unwanted hair and leave you with smooth, low-maintenance skin.

✔️Implant Removal (Explant)
✔️Superior Pedicle Mastopexy Reduction
👎🏻Dissatisfied by a failed donut mastopexy augmentation she underwent with another Charlotte plastic surgeon in 2002, this 48-year-old mom of 2 came to see me to help her 🤝regain her confidence.
Her original saline, textured implants had ruptured back in 2017. Today, we removed the ruptured implants and performed revision surgery.
As you can see, she had plenty of her own natural volume and looks leagues better!

This 41-year-old mother of two originally had a submuscular saline breast augmentation in 2005. Over time, she developed severe capsular contracture, causing medial and upward displacement of her left implant, along with soft tissue ptosis (pseudoptosis).
She underwent implant removal and replacement with a vertical mastopexy. Due to excessive medial dissection from her previous surgery, the left implant was converted to a subfascial plane. Additionally, she had a tummy tuck with muscle repair.
This 49-year-old mother of two previously underwent abdominal liposuction and breast augmentation in 2004. Despite being very fit and athletic, she was left with loose skin and diastasis.
Six months ago, she underwent a tummy tuck with muscle repair, along with liposuction of the abdomen and hips.
This 61-year-old mother of three underwent a tummy tuck in Connecticut in 2009 but was left with a less-than-ideal outcome. To improve her abdominal contour, she underwent a revision, including a reverse abdominoplasty, a modified abdominoplasty revision, and liposuction of the abdomen and hips. She is now six weeks post-op.
A well-executed reverse tummy tuck can also enhance breast aesthetics. She previously had a breast augmentation in 2009, followed by a revision mastopexy-augmentation in Charlotte in 2017 by another surgeon.
This 39-year-old mother and bodybuilder underwent subfascial breast augmentation with 375cc Mentor Moderate Plus gel implants, placed through an inframammary fold incision. She is now six weeks post-op.
