Our Region is a Great Place to Live: High Rankings by Editors

The South Carolina Upstate is a wonderful place to live, play, sightsee, dine, and to practice cosmetic plastic surgery.

Most recently Fortune Magazine rated Greenville one of it's TOP FIVE places to retire. Fortune had this to say: "South Carolina has turned into the home of the halfbacks, folks from the Northeast who retire to Florida and then -- because of heat, high insurance premiums, hurricanes, or all of the above -- move halfway back up north. Greenville and its fellow South Carolina cities still give residents a change of seasons and a stable real estate market that never experienced sky-high prices during the bubble: Greenville has dropped a relatively modest 13% since its peak and has another 1% to fall. One of the biggest draws for Greenville residents is its downtown, which has undergone a 30-year revitalization plan. (Its Main Street has been recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.) "It is so darn cute," says Lori Sperry, 50, who recently bought a retirement home in the Greenville area. A growing number of retirees are buying condos within walking distance of downtown's stores and nearly 100 restaurants. Those looking for a city culture can take advantage of Greenville's proximity to Charlotte and Atlanta." Fortune, June 2010.

Money Magazine also recognized Greenville in 2007 as one of the best places to live.

As you can imagine, we enjoy the recognition. We are happy to serve the cosmetic surgery, skin care & non-surgical / injectable cosmetic needs of many in the area.

Public education success in Upstate South Carolina

We were very pleased with the response to our public education efforts last night.

Dr. Graham, our patient coordinator Betty Babb, and our nurse practitioner Janice Sasser hosted a well attended presentation at a beautiful restaurant meeting room in Seneca, South Carolina (Rudy's on Ram Cat). They had some great appetizers and refreshments for our guests.

We presented information on cosmetic surgery, cosmetic medical procedures, and professional skin care. We covered breast & body, and facial procedures in two, back-to-back sessions. We offered Dr. Graham's presentation, interesting statistics, before & after photographs, periods for audience questions, and time for individual questions. We were pleased with the numbers of people in attendance and their interesting questions. Thanks to all of you that came and shared the evening with us. We hope you'll want to do it again sometime.

Large, Heavy Breast Solution - Breast Reduction by Dr. Sutton Graham

Since we see many women about concerns they have with their breasts, large & heavy breasts is a common complaint. Breast reduction surgery is very common for Dr. Graham, and provides relief of back, neck and shoulder pain for hundreds of women.

Breast reduction provides a way to relieve these symptoms, as well as slumped posture, clothing fit problems, bra strap pain & grooving of the shoulders, headache, rashes, even occasionally arm tingling. The care begins with evaluation during a consultation with us. Referral from your primary care doctor is not required by us, but rarely required by your insurance company. If your doctor has recorded symptoms and treatments for them in the past, we may request those records. Dr. Graham will carefully assess you and your health, and the possible value of surgery, explain procedure details, risks and recovery. We'll prepare any necessary paperwork for the insurance company and await their response. Most patients are approved and scheduled within weeks.

If you do not have insurance coverage or they decline reimbursement, then there is the option of self-pay procedure in our facility at a much lower charge than hospital rates.

We monitor your recovery and very frequently hear how very happy patients are. Many of their testimonials are printed, along with before & after photos, in our photo gallery http://www.expertplasticsurgeon.com/photogallery/breast-reduction-4799

Dr. Graham is pleased to serve patients throughout North & South Carolina and Northern Georgia.

Mommy Make-over is such a cute term: thoughts by Sutton Graham, MD

I don't know came up with the term, but it is certainly cleaver, "mommy-make-over." For over 15 years, we have been addressing women's concerns about their post-pregnancy changes (post-partum) with a variety of solutions for the breast and body, plus measures for the facial pigmentation, etc.

We have solutions for the breast sagging, loss of breast firmness, decrease or unwanted increase in breast size, stretch marks, loose tummy skin, loose tummy muscles, indented c-section scars, new fat accumulations about the hips, thighs, abdomen and buttocks.

Mommy make-over isn't a particular operation, but rather a combination of procedures to address each woman's concerns. They are done as an out-patient and you recover at home with you family and friends. Special anesthesia techniques are used to minimize discomfort and speed recovery.

Dr. Graham address the tummy by non-surgical skin tightening, stretch mark removal, liposuction, short-scar abdominoplasty, standard tummy tuck, and often adds liposuction of the love handles. These can reshape the torso, define the waist, flatten the stomach, firm abdominal tone, and smooth the skin. http://www.expertplasticsurgeon.com/html/tummy-tuck.html

He addresses the breast by implant augmentation, breast lift alone, breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy). If pregnancies have left you with uncomfortably larger breasts, then we offer breast reduction (standard of shot-scar techniques). http://www.expertplasticsurgeon.com/html/augmentation.html

Patients love our independent, private office and nationally accredited office surgical facility located on Halton Road in Greenville, SC. They come to us from throughout Upstate South Carolina, Western North Carolina and Georgia.

Breast Lift / Mastopexy in Greenville, South Carolina, by Dr. Sutton Graham

One of the most common concerns women bring to our practice is sagging or drooping of their breasts. Often they report starting with nice breasts, but time, pregnancies and breast feeding have caused their breasts to loose their once-perky contour. Sometimes, this has been associated with loosing volume in their breasts too.

Down-ward pointing nipples, flattening of the upper contour, loss of upper fullness, hanging skin, etc. We hear about not being able to find attractive bathing suits (needing more support), not being able to wear sundresses or other tops that lack support, looking saggy or older, etc.

Breast lift surgery can be a solution. You achieve more youthful contour, better projection, more upper fullness, and less breast hanging onto your upper ribcage. And the nipples can point forward again. If you have lost volume or want more fullness, a moderate sized breast implant can be added as well. (Known as mastopexy with augmentation)

The procedure is done as an out-patient, with return to work in 4-7 days for most patients. You can resume work-outs in about 3 weeks. Healing takes place over time and scars fade over several months (you can see this in the photo above).
