Williams Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Specialties

Choosing to have plastic surgery is an intensely personal decision, and making sure your surgeon has the proper qualifications is the most important step in your plastic surgery journey. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, be prepared to do your homework. Unfortunately, it is legal for non-​board certified plastic or cosmetic surgeons to perform plastic surgery and it is up to you to learn exactly what your doctor is qualified to do. Don’t be tricked by flashy marketing; look for the two most important qualifications in your surgeon– certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and membership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Williams’ reputation as one of Northwest Georgia’s most experienced plastic surgeons has grown word-​of-​mouth referrals of thousands of happy patients. More than half of Dr. Williams’ cosmetic patients are referred by a friend that was pleased with their results from Williams Plastic Surgery.
