About Peter J. Capizzi, MD

For those considering plastic surgery in the Charlotte, North Carolina vicinity and beyond, the search for such an exceptional physician is over. Dr. Peter J. Capizzi offers the complete package. After training at the world’s most renowned educational institutions, including the world-class Mayo Clinic, he became double board-certified in both general and plastic surgery by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The significance of being double board-certified should not be lost on anyone seeking cosmetic enhancement. It means Dr. Capizzi has completed training in general surgery that is above and beyond the minimums required for plastic surgery certification. A general surgeon who completes a residency program is equipped with the skills to manage any situation that may arise in the operating room, including complications from conditions unrelated to the cosmetic procedure at hand. Additionally, a general surgeon who has not undergone the rigorous, technique-building internships, peer reviews, examinations and continuous certification renewals required by the American Board of Plastic Surgery will be at a loss when it comes to the finer intricacies and attention to detail mandatory in cosmetic procedures. The ABPS is the only board that certifies a surgeon from head to toe. Dr. Capizzi has achieved both these distinctions, and this added level of confidence in his care is what draws patients not just from Charlotte, NC, but also from the entire region to his office. What Dr. Capizzi possesses in skill and experience is equally balanced with a rare human warmth and commitment to his clients’ happiness with their results. A profound desire to help people achieve their dreams drives the doctor to leave no stone unturned when it comes to the planning stage of each procedure. A consultation with Dr. Capizzi will reveal a wealth of understanding and eagerness to listen, as success demands both patient and doctor share a single, unified vision. Dr. Capizzi has honed his skills for almost 20 years, and is highly qualified to perform any surgical or non-surgical cosmetic procedure you may require. As part of an elite group of national surgeons with an expertise in “Gummy Bear” implants, Dr. Capizzi has become a sought-after authority in the area of breast surgery, whether performing breast augmentation, breast lifts, reductions, revisions or breast reconstruction. Dr. Capizzi is also expertly adept at body contouring techniques, and has performed thousands of successful tummy tucks, body lifts, liposuctions and mommy makeovers. Dr. Capizzi is passionate about helping his clients to combat the inevitable aging process.
