From Nashville stage lights to quiet cabins in the Smokies, Tennesseans bring us an incredible mix of goals—and challenges. One patient may have been born with a crooked septum that leaves her winded after a single chorus; another discovers, post-pregnancy, that loose abdominal muscles and stubborn fat won’t budge no matter how many trail runs she logs. A truck driver’s years of heavy lifting turn already-large breasts into a source of daily back pain, while a retiree notices sagging lids and deep folds that hide the grin he still feels inside.
At Image Cosmetic Surgery Center, these stories shape everything we do. In our AAAHC-accredited suite, a board-certified surgeon blends four decades of refined technique with meticulous after-care and transparent pricing, transforming congenital concerns, age-related changes, and life-earned wear into freedom to breathe, move, and live with unfiltered confidence.
With 35.7 % of Tennessee adults now classified as obese, one of the highest rates in the nation, it’s no surprise that liposuction topped 2024’s national plastic-surgery chart and remains the Volunteer State’s most requested surgical fix. Excess weight places chronic stress on knees, hips, and the lower back; many patients also develop painful bra-strap grooves, skin chafing, and limited clothing options. Body-contouring solutions like micro-cannula liposuction, tummy-tuck muscle repair, and breast-reduction lifts aren’t just aesthetic upgrades; they immediately reduce joint load, eliminate moisture-trapping folds that inflame summer humidity rashes, and free patients to kayak the Tennessee River or power-walk Shelby Farms without discomfort.
Memphis ranks #5 on AAFA’s 2025 “Allergy Capitals” list, with Knoxville and Chattanooga close behind. Chronic nasal obstruction in these high-pollen zones is linked to poor sleep, daytime fatigue, and higher cardiovascular stress. Functional rhinoplasty, straightening a deviated septum and widening collapsed nasal valves, has been shown in peer-reviewed studies to cut obstruction scores nearly in half and significantly improve sleep quality and exercise tolerance. For Tennesseans, that translates to belting out music on Lower Broadway without gasping for air, tackling Smoky-Mountain switchbacks with steady breathing, and finally sleeping through sticky summer nights.
These real-world benefits explain why so many patients from Nashville to Kingsport trust Image Cosmetic Surgery Center to turn everyday Tennessee strain into effortless living.
Functional Rhinoplasty Straightens a deviated septum, widens collapsed nasal valves, and refines the bridge and tip through hidden intranasal incisions halving obstruction scores in published studies and restoring deep, ragweed-free breaths on humid Memphis nights.
Facelift & Mini-Facelift Deep-plane techniques reposition underlying tissues (not just skin) to erase jowls and marionette lines, giving Nashville creatives a rested look that still moves naturally on stage.
Neck Lift Lifts sagging platysma bands and trims loose skin for a defined jawline perfect for video calls when Chattanooga humidity makes skin feel heavier than it is.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) removes hooded upper-lid skin and under-eye bags so Knoxville hikers can spot foothill vistas without a drooping eyelid in sight.
Botox®, Dermal Fillers & Medical-Grade Peels 30-minute refreshers that smooth frown lines, restore lost cheek volume, and fade sun damage between Preds games and client calls.
Breast Augmentation Saline, silicone, or fat-transfer options restore symmetry and fullness after weight-loss or breastfeeding, all with incision placements designed for minimal scarring.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Repairs pregnancy- or weight-loss-related muscle separation, removes chafing skin, and re-creates a contoured waistline so game-day jerseys fit comfortably again.
