Introducing Grady Core, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Grady Core, the founder of Core Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, is an internationally recognized surgeon with decades of experience. A Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), he is board-certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He performs a very broad range of plastic surgeries, reconstructive surgeries, and cosmetic procedures with consummate skill at his Birmingham offices, including:
- facelift
- rhinoplasty and septoplasty (surgery for the nose)
- breast augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction
- abdominoplasty (also known as the "tummy tuck")
- liposuction
- otoplasty (ears)
- brow lift
- eyelid surgery
- BOTOX injections, laser resurfacing, soft-tissue fillers
A Co-Inventor of Endoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Plastic Surgery
Thousands of patients have benefited from Dr. Core's skills and knowledge — even those who have not had their surgical procedures done by him personally; he is one of the inventors of endoscopic plastic surgery (minimally invasive surgery achieved with an endoscope, a slender, flexible and illuminated optic instrument inserted through a tiny incision).
Dr. Core has developed endoscopic surgeries for the face, abdomen and breast, and has taught plastic surgeons these techniques at medical schools throughout the world. The introduction of endoscopy to plastic surgery has minimized incisions, scars and recovery time.
Professor, Researcher, Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
A scholar and researcher in the field of plastic surgery, Dr. Core is a frequent symposium presenter and speaker at plastic surgery conferences around the world, on a wide variety of topics and techniques. His extensive experience and surgical training — including his plastic surgery training at the world renowned Mayo Clinic — have formed the foundation of his highly respected practice in Birmingham.
Both a General Surgeon and a Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Core's first field of practice was general surgery, and his skills as a surgeon led him to a position on the faculty at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a professor, he continued to practice as a general surgeon and eventually developed an interest in plastic surgery.
Following his plastic surgery training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Dr. Core became a clinical instructor in plastic surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and later became Chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. He returned to Birmingham in 1995, making it his permanent home; he and his wife Heidi and their three sons reside in Vestavia.
Among the Best Doctors in the U.S.
A member of the respected organizations American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Core has repeatedly been selected as part of the publication "Best Doctors in the U.S." and in "Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare."
Dr. Core is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care to each of his patients. Despite the great number of surgeries he has performed, he considers every patient a unique and cherished individual. Bring your concerns and goals to Dr. Core to discuss in detail — he looks forward to seeing you.
