Board-certified Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ

Yes. Our Athēnix Scottsdale location operates an AAAHC-certified surgical center. This elite accreditation ensures that our facility meets the highest national standards for patient safety, privacy, and quality of care, providing you with a hospital-level safety environment in a boutique, comfortable setting.

The Scottsdale center is led by Dr. Craig Lehrman. He is an elite, board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in advanced aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. He is dedicated to providing natural results and highly personalized care.

Dr. Lehrman and the Athēnix Scottsdale team offer a comprehensive suite of customized surgical procedures. For facial rejuvenation, we provide facelifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery. Breast procedures include augmentations, lifts, reductions, and implant exchanges. For body contouring, we specialize in tummy tucks, liposuction, mommy makeovers, and full body lifts.

Dr. Lehrman possesses a highly credentialed background. He earned his medical degree from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and completed a rigorous plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Furthermore, he secured advanced fellowship training at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. This top-tier education serves as a major advantage for our patients seeking the highest level of surgical expertise.

Tummy tuck pricing in the Scottsdale area typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000. Because Dr. Lehrman customizes every procedure to match your unique anatomy and goals, your exact cost will depend on your specific surgical plan, facility fees, and anesthesia. We will provide you with a transparent, detailed quote during your private consultation.

AAAHC stands for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. It is an independent organization that strictly evaluates outpatient surgical facilities. Earning this accreditation means our Scottsdale center has passed rigorous inspections for patient safety, infection control, and medical protocols. It matters because it guarantees you are receiving care in a facility that meets or exceeds the safety standards of a premier hospital.

Recovery varies based on your customized treatment plan, but most of our liposuction patients are ready to return to work within one to two weeks. You can expect some mild swelling and bruising initially. Dr. Lehrman and our clinical team will provide you with a specialized compression garment to support your new contours as your body heals, with your final, refined results settling in over the following months.

A tummy tuck is a single procedure dedicated specifically to removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles. A mommy makeover is a comprehensive, customized combination of surgeries designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body all at once. While it almost always includes a tummy tuck, Dr. Lehrman typically combines it with breast enhancement (such as a lift or augmentation) and liposuction during the exact same operation.
