Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. This procedure addresses volume loss from pregnancy, weight changes, or aging while improving body proportions. Patients receive personalized consultations to determine implant size, placement, and incision techniques. Our board-certified surgeon performs all procedures in our accredited surgery center with comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible signs of aging by tightening facial skin and muscles. This procedure addresses wrinkles, sagging jowls, and loss of facial contour through precise incisions hidden in natural creases. Patients typically resume normal activities within two weeks, with final results becoming apparent after swelling subsides. Our approach combines technical expertise with natural-looking outcomes.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets diet-resistant fat deposits in various body areas. Our technique removes excess fat through small incisions using advanced suction technology. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity for optimal contouring results. The procedure can be combined with other surgeries for comprehensive body shaping, with most patients resuming light activities within a week.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. This procedure addresses loose skin from pregnancy or weight loss through a horizontal incision along the bikini line. Patients receive detailed recovery guidance, with full healing typically taking several months. Our approach prioritizes both aesthetic improvement and functional benefits.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve skin texture and tone by removing damaged outer layers. Our medical-grade treatments address fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation through controlled exfoliation. Different peel strengths allow customization for various skin types and concerns. Patients receive personalized skincare recommendations to maintain results and enhance skin health.

Today was my first, but definitely not last, visit. Dr. Parker and his staff made me feel so welcome. Dr. Parker took the time to talk with me about my concerns and suggested treatments he felt were best for me. I cannot wait to go back!!

Great practice with very caring staff and Dr. Parker is so friendly and warm with patients. I selected this practice primarily because of Dr. Parkers bedside manner and his friendly staff making me feel comfortable. When vetting board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Parker also had competitive prices. I do not use the practice for Botox, but for the two procedures Ive had done, I had great experiences.

As a medical professional, I found my experience with this office negligent and not in line with 'standard of care' medical care. An office that does not take vital signs at post-op visits is not practicing good medicine. I would like to write a good review, but unfortunately can not. Doctor was dismissive and inattentive. Mild cosmetic procedures seem to be ok with this office, however, bigger surgical procedures are not a good idea here.

I cant say enough good things about Dr. Parker and his staff! Everyone is so kind, professional, very knowledgeable and made me feel right at home from the very moment I walked through the door. I am forever grateful for everything they have done and will most definitely be a lifelong patient/customer. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience!

Just had my second post op appointment today after choosing Dr. Parker to do my surgery earlier this month. This was my first surgery ever and I went into this more nervous than Ive ever been for anything. And I can say without a doubt that him and his staff have given me the most helpful, considerate, and professional experience Ive ever had with a doctors/medical office. His and his staffs bed-side manner is phenomenal, and I could not be happier with my results now that I am healing up. They all do an outstanding job of ensuring the highest quality patient care and now I am able to
