General Practitioners

Arthritis
Medical Weight Loss
Liposuction is the surgical vacuuming of fat from beneath the surface of the skin. It is used to reduce fullness in any area of the body. It is an excellent method of spot reduction but is not an effective method of weight loss.
Primary Care
Dr. Greco is on staff at Memorial Health University Medical Center and St. Joseph’s/Candler Health System. In addition, he is a participating provider for most insurance policies. A prior approval from your primary care provider may be necessary prior to arranging an appointment.

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Many women have changes to their abdomen with childbirth and with weight changes. We evaluate everyone’s abdomen individually to determine if they have extra fat, extra skin and possibly abdominal wall weakness. We try to treat only the problem areas that one has. If you have loose skin and abdominal wall weakness, you may be a suitable candidate for tummy tuck.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Depression
Mental Health
Breast reduction candidates generally include women who are bothered by large, sagging breasts that cause uncomfortable symptoms (including back, neck or shoulder pain; skin irritation or rashes; breathing problems; and shoulder indentations from bra straps). These women might feel their activity level is restricted because of oversized breasts, and they may suffer mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression, because of the way their breasts look. Conservative treatment including physical therapy and weight loss should be attempted first.
Anxiety

Ultrasound
While there is no evidence that breast implants can cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast with an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.
Radiology
X-Rays
Mammography
Once the bandages and dressings have been removed, you’ll wear a support bra for several weeks. You may find that some breast sensation returns and that the incision lines fade. It’s critical to remain consistent with breast examinations and mammography. If implants have been placed, there are special radiography facilities that are equipped to perform mammograms on women with implants.

General Surgery
Dr. Greco is Board Certified in both General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He has also earned a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Hand Surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) asociated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients who are 65 or younger.
Brow Lift
The fundamental purpose of a facelift is to improve the most visible signs of aging. Signs of aging that can be improved through a face lift or variation of a face lift would be sagging cheeks, folds between the nose and mouth, sagging skin around the jaw and excess fat deposits in the facial area. Some people elect to have plastic surgery on other areas of the face to achieve a fully satisfactory outcome. The forehead or brow lift focuses on improving the brow and wrinkles of the forehead area. Eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery removed the excess skin and fat of the eyes. A neck lift may be performed to smooth out the excess skin of the neck. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to a more natural balance and silhouette. Face lifts may be performed in conjunction with one or more other procedures to add total balance and harmony to your face.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty, otherwise known as eyelid surgery, is designed to remove fat, skin and muscle, as necessary, from the upper and lower eyelid to improve droopy eyelids or puffy bags below your eyes. Blepharoplasty may be performed to assist with aging or because of a natural deformity.
Liposuction
Breast Augmentation
Absolutely. I believe there is a misnomer about having a breast augmentation. When people find out what I did they think I must not have gotten my monies worth because I am not voluptuous. That is why I am so happy. The physician really took the time to talk with me to find out what I wanted. That was very important to me. I am very active and like to run. Having very big breasts would not have made me feel comfortable. All of my expectations were met.
Breast Reduction
Ready to get breast reduction surgery in Savannah? For most women with heavy, oversized breasts, breast reduction is a life-changing operation. Not only does breast reduction have visible cosmetic benefits, it can also provide relief from a variety of medical problems caused by the weight and mass of the breasts. Reducing large, pendulous breasts improves a patient’s appearance, health, activity level, confidence, self-esteem and more.
Breast Lift
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman’s breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts–at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume—for example, after pregnancy— breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size. If you’re considering a breast lift, this brochure will give you a basic understanding of the procedure—when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything about the procedure you don’t understand.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is the procedure designed to reshape your nose. The rhinoplasty procedure may be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures when necessary.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction candidates are usually women who have had their entire breast(s) removed with mastectomy. Others lose their breasts to trauma. The physical and emotional health and stability of the breast reconstruction candidate is important and should be considered carefully by the patient and her doctors. Other factors of candidacy include the stage of breast cancer, the type of cancer treatment, amount of tissue available for a flap, whether one or both breasts require reconstruction and the size of the natural breast.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Thomas W. Horn skillfully performs a wide range of plastic surgery procedures for the face, body and breasts as well as non-surgical cosmetic treatments. His individualized patient approach is admired by many highly satisfied plastic surgery Savannah patients who have achieved remarkable aesthetic results under his care.
Thigh Lift
An Around the World Tummy Tuck is a type of body lift that combines multiple procedures into one, and circles the entire midsection providing improvements in four different places. The Around the World Tummy Tuck reduces the belly through abdominoplasty, reduces and removes “love handles” on the sides of the abdomen through liposuction, and gives a thigh lift and buttock lift.
Face Lift
Face Lift (rhytidectomy) has been called by many names and encompasses a variety of surgical rejuvenation procedures for the face including: Deep Plane Face Lift, SMAS Face Lift, Mini Face Lift and the Mid Face Lift. The term Mini-Lift has become popular because of our society’s demand for facial enhancement with less surgical intervention. The less invasive nature of these procedures also produces smaller improvements than through a standard face lift. Our practice focuses on matching the appropriate operative procedure with your needs.
Neck Lift
Neck Lifts work well for both women and men. The ideal candidate is usually in the age range of forties to seventies. A neck lift can bring a more healthy and vital appearance to your neck by improving your signs of aging.
Blepharoplasty
Our surgeons have treated many Savannah blepharoplasty patients, as well as patients from across Georgia and South Carolina. In the paragraphs below, they describe this popular procedure.
Abdominoplasty
Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck removes excess fat, repairs weakened or separated muscles and eliminates loose skin for a flatter and firmer profile.
Nose Surgery
MyCosmeticSurgeon.md was designed to help you better understand the plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures available to enhance your image. You can view before and after photos to see results from many Savannah plastic surgery patients, as well as those from across Georgia (GA) and South Carolina (SC). You can also learn about the plastic surgery procedures, read up-to-date information, and identify expectations for the outcome of your procedure, such as breast augmentation, liposuction, facelift, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and many others.
Body Lift
Breast Surgery
Your consultation in our office will help set reasonable expectations for your procedure’s outcome. It is important to inform your surgeon if you smoke or are taking any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins or supplements. It is especially important to inform your doctor if you are currently taking aspirin or any other drug that affects the blood’s ability to clot. Our surgeons will review your medical history to accommodate for any medical conditions requiring attention before, during or after the procedure. These medical conditions may include, but not be limited to: uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood clotting problems or the tendency to form excessive scars. You may be required to cease certain medications and/or take other medications prior to and following the procedure. These precautions are for your safety and most of our patients feel renewed with a fresh, new look after a breast surgery procedure.
Otoplasty
Lip Augmentation
Lip fullness in today’s society is a sign of beauty and youthfulness. Lip enhancement or lip augmentation (such as Collagen injections), can be achieved using both non-surgical and surgical techniques. The non-surgical techniques for lip augmentation tend to be less long lasting, but are also less extensive and offer an easier recovery. These injectable fillers (collagen, Cymetra) can be done quickly and may provide a nice simple enhancement. The surgical lip augmentation, using fat injection, other body tissues, or synthesized materials, tends to have a longer lasting to permanent enhancement, but take longer to recover from. Whether the Collagen injections or surgical lip augmentation technique is utilized, the result can be very pleasing and offer a significant improvement in the upper and lower lip fullness.
Body Contouring
While all procedures can be performed alone to enhance your physical features, a combination of two or more procedures might be the best way to fully achieve your aesthetic goals. Many facial procedures and body contouring procedures can be performed in conjunction to bring harmony to your features and enhance your overall appearance. To learn more about the combination procedures that might best fit your aesthetic goals, please contact us online or by phone at
Laser Resurfacing
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for “women-like breasts.” Though this oddly named condition is rarely talked about, it’s actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both. Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases.
Moles
Cosmetic Surgery
For your own personal and confidential consultation, with The Georgia Institute for Cosmetic Surgery call or email the office today. We will answer all of your questions and concerns you might have about this unique procedure so you can determine which procedure best fits your desires and needs. Remember, it is impossible for a surgeon to tell you the best approach without first listening to your desires and concerns.
Dermabrasion
Face lifts, including a mini face lift, threadlift, mid face lift, deep plane lift help improve the appearance of your face by focusing on your signs of aging. Faces feel the effects of sun exposure, gravity and the natural progression of age. These factors contribute to sagging cheeks, circles below your eyes, smiles lines and nasiofolds. Face lift procedures can reduce the impact of aging on your face. Forehead or brow lines can be improved through a forehead lift or brow lift. Blepharoplasty procedures reduce and lift excess skin around the eyes. Rhinoplasty focuses on reshaping your nose. Mini-face lifts, perio-oral dermabrasion and other anti-aging remedies provide less invasive methods to improve early stage aging. Plastic surgery in Savannah Georgia can never be better than at The Georgia Institute For Plastic Surgery. We invite you to discuss facial plastic surgery with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons located in Savannah, Georgia by contacting our offices at
