Guide to South Carolina Plastic Surgery
South Carolina is still the heart of the old south and retains some of the antebellum features that make it an historic gold mine. The city of Charleston retains its antique southern charm and much of its architecture. It also is home to the Medical University of South Carolina, a multifaceted medical teaching facility that includes a division of plastic surgery in its Medical School. It has a clinic that provides many of the cosmetic surgery standards: tummy tucks, breast augmentations, liposuction, etc.
Charleston also has private cosmetic plastic surgeons practicing in the area, both male and female. One practice is a partnership in which one doctor handles only facial procedures such as eye lifts, brow lifts, face lifts, rhinoplasty and neck procedures. The other partner focuses on the body below the neck, providing liposuction and body sculpting procedures such as arm lifts, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, etc.
The capital city is Columbia, the center of a metro area of about 750,000. The University of South Carolina and its Medical School are to be found there. Their Department of Surgery trains plastic surgeons: “Cosmetic and reconstructive surgical services are offered by our plastic surgeons. Liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast lift and breast enlargement surgery, full and partial eye lift surgery, nose reconstruction/reshaping, and skin resurfacing for scarring through laser treatment are some of the cosmetic services available. Breast reconstruction and procedures to treat skin cancer are additional surgical treatment options offered to our patients.”
Columbia’s plastic surgeons in private practice often combine cosmetic and reproductive surgical offerings. One clinic handles only facial surgical procedures. The choices for cosmetic surgery include rhinoplasty, face lifts, and chin augmentation, liposuction of the neck and jowls, laser skin treatments and the ubiquitous Botox. Reconstructive or medical options include surgical treatments for sleep apnea, nasal obstruction, sinus surgery and reconstructive treatments for birth marks and trauma such as auto accidents.
The Myrtle Beach area has become a metro area of over 300,000 and a major tourist attraction. Beach areas that feature summer sun and tourist populations are often sites where cosmetic plastic surgery ‘spas’ are designed as destination choices for people who want to have their surgery done and the initial recovery to occur at a place away from work and home. Myrtle Beach is no exception. Whether you’re a local resident or someone looking for a pleasant getaway option for cosmetic surgery, Myrtle Beach has both the board certified surgeons and comfortable facilities to see you through the process and the recovery.Page Last Modified: 2009-7-4 17:34:35 UTC
