Explore ThePossibilities
Plastic surgery has been described as many things: an “art,” a “science,” a “journey,” “anti-aging,” and even a “cosmetic revolution.”
But once you tune out all the noise, plastic surgery is, at its core, a medical procedure (typically surgical) that preserves, rejuvenates, or otherwise enhances your appearance. When you’re considering that type of procedure, there is no more experienced hand or trusted partner to guide you through the medical realities of plastic surgery than the top plastic surgeon in Birmingham, Alabama: Dr. Grady Core. Dr. Core is an innovator, a teacher, a caring advisor to his patients, and above all, an incredibly talented surgeon. Learn more about his process and why his patients say that Dr. Core “is truly a sculptor!“

GRADY CORE, M.D.
Dr. Grady Core is widely recognized in the field of plastic surgery as one of the inventors of endoscopic (minimally invasive) plastic surgery.
He is board-certified by both the American Board of Surgery as well as the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Core trained in plastic surgery at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. His groundbreaking work in endoscopic surgery and his ability to find new ways to perform procedures that reduced visible scarring make him a trusted source of knowledge for patients and fellow surgeons alike.
His textbook chapters, instructional videos, presentations, and research papers number in the hundreds, demonstrating his skill in developing minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional procedures. These innovations can be seen across the spectrum of plastic surgery procedures, from endoscopic brow lifts and breast augmentation to abdominoplasty and eyelid surgery, just to name a few.
Dr. Grady Core designed Birmingham’s Core Plastic Surgery Center from the bottom up with patient safety and care top of mind.
Built far above the standards necessary for its AAASF accreditation, Dr. Core made sure no detail was overlooked, from the relaxing design touches of the surgical and skin care suites to the Laminar air vents in the operating rooms. These hospital-grade air vents cycle the air through the room every few seconds to maintain a clean operating environment.

Core Plastic SurgeryFeatured Procedures
Don’t settle for being told that your facelift needs to have visible scars in front of the ear! Dr. Grady Core performs an extended deep plane combination facelift and neck lift. Studies have shown that Dr. Core’s method of performing this surgery has a statistically significant improvement in the angle of the neck as a result of this technique.
Deep Plane FaceliftDr. Grady Core is the longest-practicing endoscopic brow lift specialist in the world. With an endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Core is able to make changes along the upper face and forehead without leaving visible scars along the hairline. This endoscopic technique results in beautiful features and a reduction of wrinkles and fine lines along the forehead without the same visible scars as a conventional brow lift.
Brow LiftDid you know that in many cases, breast augmentation can be done endoscopically? The surgeons who train under Dr. Core do, and they’re among the few in the nation who perform this technique. Most surgeons learn to make breast augmentations in the crease of the breast, which can leave long scars on the underside of the bra line. Dr. Core prefers to use endoscopic techniques to deliver breast augmentation results that look and feel natural, without any visible scarring under the breasts.
Breast AugmentationRhinoplasty (nose surgery or nose job) is one of the most versatile and important procedures in plastic surgery. It can dramatically change the way you look. But that’s just the beginning. Rhinoplasty can also deliver incredible health benefits, including improved breathing, speech, sleep, and sense of smell. These changes can have incredibly positive and life-changing impacts on your overall health. Learn more about how Dr. Core’s process can deliver both functional and aesthetic improvements through rhinoplasty.
RhinoplastyBlepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids. For nearly 20 years, Dr. Core has instructed other surgeons on innovative ways to improve patient outcomes during eyelid rejuvenation surgery. One of his first lectures on the topic was delivered in Vienna, Austria to the European Societies of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery in 2005. Since then, Dr. Core has continued to innovate, popularizing what is known as “lateral access” blepharoplasty, which makes use of entry points on the side of the eye to reduce the potential for negative side effects while still avoiding visible scarring.
BlepharoplastyHair restoration has come a long way from the “strip” methods of yesteryear. Dr. Core has relentlessly studied the latest methods of hair restoration, including NeoGraft and FUE. He also is one of the few clinics in the region with the ARTAS iX Robotic Hair Transplant device, an AI-assisted hair transplant robot that inserts follicles with robotic precision. The final results are so natural-looking that ARTAS iX is the only FDA-cleared robotic hair transplant procedure that lets men style their hair short or long.
