When it comes to undergoing plastic surgery, choosing your plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Plastic surgeons are not created equal, and in basic terms, you’ll get what you pay for. Therefore, choosing the most highly qualified plastic surgeon you can find is the best way to get the results you want. If you’re in Nashville or anywhere else, Dr. David Gilpin is one of the most prolific facial plastic surgeons available. Here’s what you need to know about Dr. Gilpin and our premier luxury practice here in Nashville.

Background and Training

Dr. Gilpin obtained his medical degree from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, where he decided to focus his studies exclusively on the head and neck. He underwent a five-year residency in ear, nose, and throat in Cleveland at the Case Western Reserve University and then a hand-picked residency at Tulane University. There, he was trained by Dr. Calvin Johnson, one of the world’s foremost experts in facial plastic surgery. Not only is he well known for optimizing rhinoplasty techniques across the greater plastic surgery community, he also pioneered bringing the deep plane facelift to the facial plastics community, a dual legacy he passed along to Dr. Gilpin. Now, Dr. Gilpin offers extensive knowledge of facial plastic surgery and some of the finest cosmetic care in the greater Nashville area, thanks to his specialized background and training.

Post fellowship Dr. Gilpin has continued to push to provide his patients the most luxurious, natural, and refined results possible through additional training with Dr. Andrew Jacono, Dr. Mike Nayak, Dr. Neil Gordon, and other world-class surgeons by visiting their operating suites over the years.

Dual Board Certification

Board certification is one of the biggest safeguards patients have against unqualified surgeons. It’s one of the best indicators that your chosen surgeon has the proper training and credentials to perform your chosen procedure and produce good, safe results. Dr. Gilpin is board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Board certification is an important credential to look for, but dual-board certification is an even better guarantee of expertise. Board certifications require extensive testing and regular recertification, meaning two board certifications demonstrate a true dedication to the craft of cosmetic surgery. In addition to dual board certification, Dr. Gilpin is also a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, meaning he spent one-year training exclusively under a facial plastic surgeon.

Cosmetic Approach

Dr. Gilpin offers a unique cosmetic approach thanks to his deep experience in the field of plastic surgery. Good cosmetic results are equal parts surgical skill and an eye for aesthetics – this means finding a facial plastic surgeon who understands the unique characteristics of each face and how to bring them out while still maintaining your natural look is key. He doesn’t just produce the same look for each patient – each person is unique, and their results should be, too. Visit our online gallery to see Dr. Gilpin’s artistic approach for yourself.
