Memphis Cosmetic & Functional Surgery   Breathe Easier, Move Freely, Feel Like You

When you look in the mirror or take a deep breath, you should feel comfortable in your skin. Yet many Memphians struggle with issues that are more than “cosmetic”: a crooked septum that steals your airflow, sagging eyelids that make you look tired, a post-pregnancy tummy that affects posture and confidence, or heavy breasts that strain the neck and back. At Image Cosmetic Surgery Center, we pair functional correction with aesthetic refinement so you can breathe better, move comfortably, and love what you see without looking “overdone.”

A quick note for our Tennessee patients: we care for people from across the state through virtual consults and streamlined travel plans, with procedures performed in our AAAHC accredited surgical suite by an ABPS board certified plastic surgeon and transparent, published pricing.

A Memphis Minute

From blues on Beale to sunrise runs at Shelby Farms, Memphis is an active, expressive city. Our approach respects that vibe natural results that move with you, whether you’re meeting clients downtown, cheering at FedExForum, or chasing kids at Overton Park. Memphis also ranks among the nation’s top allergy capitals, which is why functional rhinoplasty for better breathing is one of our most requested procedures.

Treatments & Benefits (What We Do Best)

  • Rhinoplasty (Functional & Cosmetic) :  Straightens a deviated septum, opens narrow nasal valves, and refines nasal shape for balanced facial harmony. Goals often include easier nasal breathing day and night, fewer mouth-breathing headaches, and a profile that complements your features.
  • Facelift / Mini Facelift:  Uses advanced deep-plane techniques to lift underlying tissues, not just skin, reducing jowls and folds while preserving natural expression.
  • Neck Lift:  Defines the jawline, smooths neck bands, and addresses loose skin for a crisp, youthful side profile.
  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty):  Removes excess skin from hooded upper lids and smooths under-eye bags to restore a brighter, more alert appearance.
  • Breast Augmentation:  Restores symmetry and fullness with saline, silicone, or fat-transfer options for a natural or enhanced look.
  • Breast Reduction:  Reduces size to relieve neck and shoulder pain, eliminate bra-strap grooves, and improve comfort during daily activities.
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy):  Elevates and reshapes breasts for a firmer, more youthful contour, with or without implants.
  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):  Repairs abdominal muscle separation, removes excess skin, and improves core support for better posture and a flatter stomach.
  • Liposuction:  Removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the flanks, abdomen, thighs, and chin for lasting contour improvement.
  • Body Contouring & Combination Plans:  Customized “neck-to-knee” treatment packages designed to enhance overall proportions while reducing total recovery time.
  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):  Enhances curves and creates a balanced waist-to-hip ratio by transferring purified fat from other areas of your body.
  • Botox®:  Softens frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet quickly and discreetly, often in a single lunch-break session.
  • Dermal Fillers:  Restores lost cheek volume, smooths facial folds, and enhances lips while maintaining natural proportions.
  • Laser Treatments:  Resurfaces, tightens, and brightens the skin to improve texture, tone, and sun damage with customizable downtime.

FAQs

1) I have breathing issues at night. Can rhinoplasty help?

If obstruction is due to structural issues (deviated septum, narrow valves, or turbinate problems), functional rhinoplasty can improve airflow and sleep quality while optionally refining the nose’s appearance.

2) Do you offer virtual consults for Tennessee patients?

Yes start with a virtual consultation, then we’ll build a travel-smart plan for surgery and recovery check-ins so your trips are minimal. 

3) Where are procedures performed?

In our AAAHC-accredited surgical suite for safety, efficiency, and privacy. 


4) What’s typical downtime?
  • Rhinoplasty: social downtime ~1–2 weeks; swelling continues to refine.
  • Facelift/Neck Lift: most return to light activities in ~2 weeks.
  • Tummy Tuck: plan 2 weeks off desk work; full activity gradually thereafter.
    (Your exact plan depends on procedure mix and your healing.)
5) Will results look natural?

That’s our priority. We aim for balanced changes that match your face and frame so friends say you look “rested,” not “different.”

6) Do you publish pricing?

Yes transparent starting prices are listed to help you budget; final quotes follow your personalized plan. 

7) I’m active how soon can I work out?

Walking starts early. We’ll clear you for light cardio and then strength work in stages to protect incisions and internal healing.

8) Do you offer non-surgical options if I’m not ready for surgery?

Absolutely Botox, fillers, and laser treatments can refresh your look with little to no downtime and often pair well with surgery for comprehensive results.
