Breast Augmentation

This plastic surgery procedure is commonly performed in women who have minimal breast volume and are looking for an increase in breast size or improvement in breast shape. Many times, after having children and breastfeeding, there is an associated deflation in breast volume and shape. Breast augmentation may be a good option to replace lost volume and regain youthful fullness in the breasts.

Breast Reconstruction

As an office, we have contributed multiple inventions and innovations to the world of plastic surgery procedures in the field of breast reconstruction, whether after mastectomy or in cases involving congenital issues with breast shape or growth. We offer the latest techniques in mastectomy reconstruction, such as prepectoral reconstruction and various other techniques.

Breast Lift

This plastic surgery procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with breast augmentation. A breast lift utilizes the patient’s own breast tissue in reshaping the skin and lifting the nipples back to their ideal position. The techniques we employ also reshape and tailor the breast shape to best fit each woman’s body type and proportions.

Breast Revision

Complex aesthetic breast revisions are one of our most frequently sought-after plastic surgery procedures, with many patients traveling specifically to our practice for Dr. Unger's skill and artistry. Sometimes, for any number of reasons, there is a need to revise or correct breast shape after breast surgery. We have the expertise at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute to help women obtain their ideal breast shape and size in instances where a complex plan must be undertaken.

Breast Reduction

As a plastic surgery procedure, breast reduction is utilized to better reshape the breast and elevate the nipples into a better position, while also removing excessive breast tissue that can contribute to neck, back, and shoulder pain that many large breasted women experience.

Mommy Makeover

We know that having children is one of the most wonderful parts of life! We also know that having children also changes a woman’s body in ways that are not always desired. Mommy Makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that allows women to regain much of their pre-pregnancy shape in the abdominal/waist area, as well as the breasts. The plastic surgery procedures are individually tailored to each woman, as everyone needs something different. The makeover usually encompasses an abdominoplasty and a breast lift with implants or fat grafting to restore lost volume and youthfulness.

Fat Grafting to the Breast

This is a plastic surgery procedure that allows for modest changes in a woman’s natural breast volume and shape with subtle, artful enhancement. More refined than solely placing breast implants, but often combined with augmentation surgery, fat grafting to the breast allows us to fine tune breast shape and create elegant contours and curvature.

Male Breast Reduction

While not often talked about, male breast fullness, or gynecomastia, is a common problem affecting many men. We take a nuanced approach to this specialized plastic surgery procedure at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, by removing all excess breast tissue in men while maintaining and enhancing a male chest shape. This often entails breast tissue removal, liposuction and liposculpting to the outer chest, and the use of radiofrequency associated lipolysis (RFAL) via the BodyTite by Inmode device to help correct skin excesses and improve chest shape.

Breast Asymmetry

A common issue among women, breast asymmetry—differences between the left and right breasts—is nearly ubiquitous. As board-certified surgeons with expertly trained eyes, we are able to use multiple 3-dimensional imaging and analysis systems to identify and correct differences in breast shape and size when performing most breast-related plastic surgery procedures.

Body Plastic Surgery Procedures Body Surgery

Tummy Tuck

This procedure tightens abdominal muscles, improves overall waist shape, and removes excess and unwanted skin and fat. A tummy tuck is the most powerful tool to reshape and improve abdominal contours in plastic surgery. A scar below the bikini line and a small scar around the belly button are the only signs of the incredible improvement you can get from this powerful plastic surgery procedure.

Liposuction

Liposuction utilizes small incisions (3 to 4mm, or 1/8th of an inch!) to allow for the removal of fatty tissue and re-contouring of the body. This technique for creating better waist, hip, arm, back, thigh, knee, buttock, or neck contours allows for rapid recovery, rarely takes more than two hours, and results in almost no scarring. We offer multiple techniques for this plastic surgery procedure, depending on each patient’s goals and needs. We have power-assisted liposuction, standard liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and the newest and most advanced adjunctive therapy: radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL), which can be used in conjunction with this plastic surgery procedure to tighten and improve skin contours.

Body Lift

This surgery is an extremely powerful technique, often employed for massive-weight loss patients. A body lift is the combination of a buttock lift and abdominoplasty and creates an entirely remade waist and trunk shape. This plastic surgery procedure is combined with lipo and a thigh lift to make a completely rejuvenated waist and trunk.

Arm Lift

A common concern for many women is excess skin and fat on the upper arm. This plastic surgery procedure rids the upper arm of excess fatty deposits and can re-contour the skin to make a more attractive arm silhouette and more youthful appearance. We can offer multiple different techniques depending on how much extra skin and fat is present. As authors of multiple book chapters on arm lifts, we are experts at tailoring the solution to the patient’s needs and creating the least amount of scars necessary to get a beautiful result. The combination of lipo and Bodytite (RFAL— radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis) can be an excellent option for those women with a little extra skin and fat, but not enough to need the longer scar often associated with arm rejuvenation.

Mommy Makeover

One of our most common plastic surgery procedures, this is the perfect option to help women regain their sense of self-confidence and their pre-pregnancy shape. The set of procedures is tailored to each unique woman since no two women’s bodies are alike.

Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

Facelift

As experts in facial plastic surgery, this is one of our most frequently performed and completely rejuvenating plastic surgery procedures to create facial youthfulness and harmony. The facelift and neck lift techniques we utilize work on the deep layers of the face and neck to lift and restore lost volume to where it naturally should be. The skin is never pulled or stretched but is merely reset in an appropriate new position once the underlying structures are re-suspended in a more aesthetic and youthful position. This allows us to create natural and elegant beauty without any of the signs and stigma of facial plastic surgery procedures.

Brow Lift

Brow lift surgery is often combined with another plastic surgery procedure: eyelid rejuvenation. By using incisions hidden within the hair or hairline, we are able to elevate droopy eyebrows in a consistent and elegant manner that can create a refreshed and youthful look without ever looking surprised or “done.”

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, is used for periorbital rejuvenation and can create meaningful improvement in appearance and youthfulness with limited recovery. Lower eyelids are often treated with a blend of approaches that address the multifactorial signs of aging that occur here, such as fat removal to improve “bags” or puffy lower eyelids, fat grafting for improvement to deep creases below the eyelids or around the nose (tear trough correction), and skin and muscle re-elevation to get rid of festoons, droopy-appearing lids, or excessive wrinkles. Upper eyelids are more straightforward, but we still have a full gamut of plastic surgery procedure options to treat this area and address any signs of aging that may be present.

Otoplasty

Correction of prominent ears is an art that requires expertise in the anatomy of a normal-appearing ear, one that we have gained from specific training in this area in Paris, France, with some of the world’s foremost ear experts. Otoplasty is performed entirely through a hidden incision behind the ear that can allow us to refine ear shape and position so they appear completely normal and natural after the plastic surgery procedure.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex and rewarding plastic surgery procedures we perform. Our focus on what is known as a “nose job” is to truly listen to our patient’s desires and, with the aid of 3D technology, plan the perfect surgery by showing postoperative goals. Our ability to use 3D scans, such as Vectra by Canfield, allows us to not just describe the plan, but also to show the expected changes on your actual face and nose! Our aim is to create an aesthetically pleasing result that is harmonious and elegant but must look appropriate for each patient’s face. We aim for natural results that do not “change” you, but rather enhance your natural beauty.
