Services
Many women desire to restore and enhance breast size and fullness lost due to children and aging. Breast enhancement, repair, and reconstruction has been a focus of Dr. Noel's practice over the last 20 years. Breast enlargement with implants (augmentation) is one the most requested surgeries in the world.
Dr. Noel has extensive experience in many different methods of breast reconstruction plastic surgery for women facing breast cancer. For over 20 years, Dr. Noel has had an active commitment to women facing breast cancer. Dr. Noel completed a prestigious Breast Recontruction Fellowship with world renowned Dr. Carl Hartrampf in Atlanta.
A Mommy Makeover is a group of plastic surgery procedures to address the aesthetic issues related to having children and the effects of aging on the waistline, hips, and breasts. Dr. Noel can evaluate each patients specific needs and recommend an individualized plan. For one patient, a mommy makeover might include liposuction of the hips and waist along with a breast lift and/or breast augmentation.
Procedures that give safe, natural results that turn back the hands of time are the goals of facial rejuvenation plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons have an increasing number of procedures and tools to help turn back the hands of time and enhance areas of concern. The most common among them are Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), neck lifts, and facelifts.
Procedures that give safe, natural results that turn back the hands of time are the goals of facial rejuvenation plastic surgery. For many patients, Dr. Noel has been able to provide facial rejuvenation using smaller and shorter incisions than used with traditional facelifting. In many patients, an incision immediately in front of the ear and just behind the ear can be used.

Having been a mammographer for almost 25 years, so far, I’ve seen many doctors reconstructions/procedures. I’ve always said to myself that if I end up with breast cancer and need breast reconstruction, Dr Noel is the one that will do it. By God it happened and he did. Can’t say enough about Dr Noels work ethic. He wants the best work done because after all, his name is on it. All I can say is WOW. I love the entire office! Wouldn’t choose any other surgeon to do this but HIM! Thank you Associates in Plastic Surgery!

Dr. Noel has the most efficiently run office with an amazing staff!!! Sherry is wonderful, always being productive and efficient, as well as making the experience wonderful! Dr Noel, very informative, caring, and detailed. As I would assume, most would be very nervous about having surgery, such breast reduction, which is the procedure I had done. My only regret is not having it done sooner and I’m so glad I was able have the privilege to have had the procedure done by Dr Noel, it is truly life changing and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results!

Dr. Noel and his entire office were amazing throughout the process of my breast reduction. His office helped me work with my insurance in order to obtain coverage and made sure I understood the process fully. Dr. Noel is experienced and highly skilled. He answered all of my questions, walked me through the process, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. The breast reduction itself went smoothly and I experienced no major pain. Throughout my time in the hospital, nurses and other medical professionals how skilled Dr. Noel was and how they enjoy working with him. My breast reduction is the

I had a breast augmentation done by him. I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional surgeon. As a healthcare professional myself, this has been a decision I have gone back and forth with for years and finally felt comfortable with it when I found Dr. Noel. I have multiple girlfriends who have had the procedure with him (10 years ago) and all look great with many different body types. All natural to their bodies. He knew exactly what would look natural on my body and what my tissue could support. I couldn’t be happier. And I drove 8 hours coming from Knoxville Tennessee

Amazing experience! It was a hard decision to go through with a breast reduction at 18 but he made it so worth it. Not only was his staff incredibly friendly, they helped and fought for us to get insurance to cover my surgery. Many times the scheduling nurse called the insurance company to check on the process. They made a normally drawn out process very short. Consult was July 8 and I was having my surgery August 1. On surgery day he made sure I was extremely comfortable, prescribing multiple medications to ease anxiety and help with pain after the surgery. He gets up really early to check on

I highly recommend Dr. Noel and all of his staff for their knowledge, care, and efficiency. Dr. Noel answered all my questions and put me at ease. He is a perfectionist and a true professional. His office is very organized and my appointments were well managed. I rarely waited. I had reconstruction from a mastectomy and was treated with kindness and respect. I am very pleased with the outcome from my procedures.
