The Practice
Most plastic surgery practices optimize for patient volume. This one doesn’t. One surgeon, one pair of hands, one standard. The same question on every single case: would you send your own family to this room.

Every procedure listed on this page is performed personally by Dr. Core: same surgeon, same suite, same standard, from the deep-plane facelift to the last follow-up laser.

Trained at Mayo.
In Birmingham
since 2001.
Dr. Grady Core completed his plastic surgery training at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, and opened his practice in Birmingham in 2001. Same city, same hand on the instrument ever since.
His work is defined by a refusal to overdo. The best result is almost always the one that looks like no result was performed at all: a body that simply looks like a well-kept version of itself.
Forty years of work. The résumé is not the point. The results are.
From inventing a surgical technique used worldwide to two decades in private practice in Birmingham. Every entry on this record was earned in an operating room.

The Suite
Built from scratch. Built above standard.
Dr. Core designed this operating suite himself, built well above the requirements for its AAASF accreditation. The air in the room cycles completely every few seconds via hospital-grade laminar flow — the only private plastic surgery operating room in the Southeast equipped this way.

Three steps. The whole protocol is three steps.
No funnels. No upsells. No handoff to a junior. The same surgeon from the first conversation through the last follow-up.
Stage 01
Consultation
An unhurried, in-person visit. Dr. Core reads the anatomy, listens to the goal, and tells you plainly whether the operation in question is the right one, a smaller one, or none at all.
- Anatomic exam
- Goals, on record
- A plan, on paper
Stage 02
Procedure
Performed personally by Dr. Core, in his own AAASF-accredited operating suite in Birmingham. Nothing is handed off; nothing is hurried. The schedule is built around the work, not the other way around.
- Dedicated surgical suite
- Same surgeon, start to finish
- Measured, not hurried
Stage 03
Recovery
Follow-up begins the morning after surgery and continues for as long as the result is still settling. The result is what you came for, not the day of the procedure.
- Same-week review
- Continued aftercare
- As many visits as the result requires
What this practice stands for.
Four convictions that outlive any one operation, shaping the consultation, the incision, and every follow-up in between.
The best consult ends in a “don’t.”
A meaningful fraction of consultations end with Dr. Core recommending a smaller operation, a different one, or none at all. Turning someone away is the first form of respect.
Built for the long body.
The question is not how it reads in a photo the week after. It is how it reads in a decade. Technique is chosen for how it ages, not how it announces itself.
Anatomy first. Aesthetics follow.
Plastic surgery is a branch of medicine, not a branch of beauty. The operation starts with what the tissue will tolerate, not what the mirror requests.
Ours to answer.
If something needs revisiting, the surgeon who did the first operation does the second. No refer-out, no ghost. The phone rings on one line.
Visit
Come in. Or fly in.
Consultations are in-person, and unhurried. Patients travel from across the country for an hour of Dr. Core’s time and a straight answer, and receive exactly that.
