Dr. Henry F. Garazo Celebrates 20 years Practicing in Hagerstown

HAGERSTOWN, Md., Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Having high quality medical care close to home is important, and Hagerstown patients have trusted Maryland plastic surgeon Henry F. Garazo, MD, FACS, to safely improve their appearance for over two decades.

The board certified plastic surgeon and Hagerstown native celebrated his 20th anniversary at Plastic Surgery Services this month. Since joining the practice in 1997, Dr. Garazo has built the practice into western Maryland's premier center for cosmetic breast, body and facial surgery, as well as expert skin care services.

"I knew I wanted to return to my hometown once I completed my medical training, and it's been a wonderful place to practice. I feel fortunate to have helped so many people boost their confidence and feel great about their appearance. It's hard to believe 20 years have gone by," states Dr. Garazo.

Shaping Plastic Surgery Services to stay current with patient needs

Plastic Surgery Services was founded in 1961. Dr. Garazo joined the practice in 1997 to become partners with Dr. Michael Hall. Recognizing that western Maryland lacked many of the cosmetic services that patients desired—non-surgical treatments in particular—Dr. Garazo focused on expanding options at the practice for cosmetic surgery and skin care.

Today, Plastic Surgery Services is home to both Dr. Garazo's thriving Hagerstown cosmetic surgery practice and a full-service aesthetic skin care clinic, where patients can receive a variety of non-surgical facial rejuvenation and skin treatments, including BOTOX and filler injections, microneedling, and the popular HydraFacial MD.

"Plastic surgery has evolved significantly since the 1990s. It used to be that patients waited for aging to progress until they truly needed a larger procedure such as a facelift. Today, with more minimally invasive options available, we can better individualize and modulate each patient's treatment plan," explains Dr. Garazo. "This allows for more natural outcomes and shorter recovery times. Patients also love how they can keep looking their best over time with smaller treatments at intervals."

Providing nationally-recognized expertise to the Hagerstown community

Over the past 20 years, Dr. Garazo has become one of the region's most sought after plastic surgeons. Patients frequently travel to Hagerstown from up and down the east coast to have their cosmetic surgery procedures with him. Holding numerous local and national awards, Dr. Garazo has been listed among "Outstanding Plastic Surgeons in Maryland" by Vogue, Glamour, Allure, and Self magazines and named one of "America's Top Plastic Surgeons" for 8 consecutive years.

In addition to his rigorous training, friendly, low-pressure approach, and focus on achieving subtle, natural results for patients, Dr. Garazo credits his insistence on only providing proven cosmetic treatments and technologies for his practice's success:

"Growing demand for minimally invasive treatments has resulted in a flood of new technologies on the market. While some show promise, I owe it to my patients to vet new procedure options carefully before adding them in my practice to ensure they are safe, effective, and a good investment for patients," Dr. Garazo states.

He mentions platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a newer treatment option that passes muster: "While relatively new in the cosmetic field, PRP has been successfully used to promote healing and tissue regeneration for decades. We've seen excellent results with PRP for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation."

Dr. Garazo says the Hagerstown small business is busier than ever. "My staff and I are humbled by the support our community has shown and honored to have so many patients trust us to provide the excellent care and superb results they seek. I look forward to many more years serving the Hagerstown community."
