ABDOMINOPLASTY

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating a smoother and firmer abdominal area.

Because not everyone can achieve a flat and well-toned abdomen through diet and exercise, tummy tuck surgery in Nashville may be a positive solution.

Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. Post-child birth, many women struggle with the appearance of their abdominal region. Even individuals with normal proportion and body weight can experience a loose, sagging or protruding abdominal area. The most common causes of this include:

Aging
Heredity
Pregnancy
Prior surgery
Significant fluctuations in weight

BREAST AUGMENTATION

These procedures usually involve breast implants or fat transfer to improve the size and shape of the breasts. At Garza Plastic Surgery, we use both silicone and gel-based “gummy bear” implants to augment the breasts.

We also offer DIEP flap surgery where we take excess fat tissue from your tummy to improve the shape and feel of your breasts. This surgery also gives you the benefits of a tummy tuck at the same time. Learn more about this procedure by clicking the link above.

BREAST REDUCTION

One of the effects of pregnancy that women notice is their breast swelling. Usually, this goes away over time, but it can remain a concern. While the main goal of breast reduction surgery is aesthetic in nature, it can also provide relief for neck and back pain, and make daily activities more comfortable.

Reduction surgery is one of the treatments available in our Mommy Makeover treatment packages.

LIPOSUCTION

As one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, this treatment gives reliable and immediate results. Liposuction can help you remove stubborn fat cells from problem areas in a few short treatments. It’s important to know that liposuction is not a weight loss solution. Learn more about this treatment by clicking the link above.

FAT GRAFTING

Also called a fat transfer, fat injections, and lipofilling, this procedure uses your natural fat tissue to enhance other areas. In terms of body procedures, we use fat grafts to add volume to the desired areas. We can also use removed fat cells to fill in wrinkles and reduce signs of aging in facial rejuvenation.

Fat transfers/fat grafting is commonly used during complex procedures like DIEP flap surgery by removing unwanted fat from areas like the tummy to reconstruct natural breast tissue.

SKIN CANCER

One of the things we focus on here in our practice is skin cancer. We do a lot of work with dermatologists around the city helping patients with skin cancer – from simple removal, post mohs and more complex or larger areas.

BREAST LIFT

Like other breast augmentation procedures, this treatment helps sculpt the size, shape, and position of the breasts. During the procedure, we can also change the position of the areolas and improve the texture of the skin.

BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION

These procedures serve to enhance the contour, size and shape of the buttocks. There are several ways to accomplish this, including implants and fat grafting. Fat grafting procedures are sometimes called a “Brazilian Butt Lift,” and should only be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Robert Garza.

EYELID SURGERY

EYELID SURGERY OR BLEPHAROPLASTY

A surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids that can be performed on either the upper and lower lids, or both.

Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.

Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat:

Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
Bags under the eyes
Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

ARM + THIGH LIFT

ARM & THIGH LIFT

If you’re self-conscious about either of these areas, we can help you. We can easily lift and tighten the skin around your arms and thighs, restoring a healthy, youthful tone. We can even remove excess fat from these areas and use it to fill out others.

TUMMY TUCK

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating a smoother and firmer abdominal area.

Because not everyone can achieve a flat and well-toned abdomen through diet and exercise, tummy tuck surgery in Nashville may be a positive solution.

Aging
Heredity
Pregnancy
Prior surgery
Significant fluctuations in weight

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Because breast cancer surgery removes a significant amount of tissue, these procedures use a few different methods to accomplish this goal. We use both implants and fat transfer to rebuild the lost tissue.

We offer two types of breast implants, one is a silicone gel implant typically called a “gummy bear implant.” The other type of implant we use is filled with a sterile saline solution. You can read more about these implants in our blog article, “Are Breast Implants Safe After A Mastectomy?”

Aside from implants, we offer a procedure called DIEP Flap surgery. Essentially, this procedure allows us to remove unwanted fat cells from your tummy and use it to rebuild the breast with your body’s own tissues. As an added benefit, you also get the benefits of a free tummy tuck! Dr. Garza is one of the best DIEP flap surgeons in Nashville, and has years of experience offering this procedure to patients.

FACELIFT

WHAT IS A FACELIFT?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

Sagging in the middle of your face
Deep creases below the lower eyelids
Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
Fat that has fallen or has disappeared
Loss of skin tone in the lower face that creates jowls
Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can give even a person of normal weight the appearance of a double chin

NOSE JOB

NOSE SURGERY (RHINOPLASTY)

Rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony and the proportions of your nose. It can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose. Rhinoplasty surgery can change:

Nose size in relation to facial balance
Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked
Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
Nose width at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils
Nasal asymmetry
