The Plastic Surgery Clinic
The Plastic Surgery Clinic was created with a clear purpose: to care for people thoughtfully, to respect the trust they place in us, and to approach this work with discipline and integrity.
We believe medicine is at its best when it is unhurried and deliberate: when time is taken to listen, plans are made carefully, and decisions are guided by both experience and empathy. Every detail matters, not because perfection is the goal, but because it is our responsibility.
This is a place built on steadiness, preparation, and mutual respect. We value clear communication, careful craftsmanship, and genuine partnership with our patients. Our hope is that everyone who walks through our doors feels seen, heard, and supported—confident that their treatment is being approached with intention and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Dr. Songcharoen has extensive experience with post-weight loss body procedures. If you're dealing with excess hanging skin on your lower abdomen that's causing skin irritation, rashes, hygiene problems, or just making it hard to move comfortably, that's exactly the kind of case we evaluate. Start with a consultation, and we'll give you a clear picture of where you stand.
-
Timing matters. Whether you're considering a body contouring procedure after weight loss or something else entirely, your overall health and stability play a real role in both safety and results. We look at the full picture during your consultation — where you are, what you're working toward, and what the right timeline actually looks like for you.
-
That's exactly what your consultation is for. There's no universal checklist that applies to everyone. Candidacy depends on your health history, your goals, your anatomy, and the specific procedure you're considering. Dr. Songcharoen will give you a direct, honest answer about whether surgery is appropriate — including if the timing isn't right or if a different approach makes more sense.
-
You pay a consultation fee when you book. When you come in, we evaluate your symptoms and goals, discuss which procedure fits your situation, go over insurance options if they apply, and build a surgical plan with a real quote. No vague timelines, no pressure. Just a direct conversation about what makes sense for you.
-
It depends on the procedure. Reconstructive procedures and some medically necessary surgeries may qualify for insurance coverage. Cosmetic procedures do not. If insurance could apply to your situation, we will tell you what documentation is needed and what the realistic path looks like. We don't make promises about approval, but we also won't leave you guessing.
-
Recovery varies significantly depending on the procedure. Some patients are back to light activity within a week. Others need several weeks before returning to work, and longer before returning to full physical activity. We will give you specific, realistic expectations before your surgery — not a generic timeline pulled from a pamphlet. What to expect, what to watch for, and when to call us.
-
Consultation availability varies. Surgery scheduling depends on your procedure and how quickly your pre-op workup can be completed. The best way to find out is to contact us directly — we'll give you a realistic timeline from the start.
Jay Songcharoen, MD
Dr. Jay Songcharoen is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with fellowship training in hand surgery, and is the founder of The Plastic Surgery Clinic.
Raised in Mississippi by a family of physicians, he trained at Vanderbilt, Mississippi College, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he completed his residency and hand surgery fellowship. His approach treats surgery as both science and art: restoring form, function, and how patients feel in their own skin.
The Plastic Surgery Clinic was built on that same philosophy. Every detail of the experience, from the environment to the team, is designed so patients feel seen, understood, and genuinely cared for.
His guiding principle: purpose in work, integrity in action, authenticity in care.
