  About Dr.Carraway

Dr. James Carraway is a full-time academic and practicing clinical plastic surgeon. He is board certified
in surgery as well as plastic surgery, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has been teaching and practicing for 35 years in the Eastern Virginia Medical School and has served as director and chairman of its residency training and fellowship programs in plastic surgery.

In addition to performing facial and eyelid cosmetic surgery, Dr. Carraway has a long-standing interest in antiaging and wellness for his patients. He performs cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery in addition to liposuction and body contouring. He has given hundreds of presentations, written many articles for the lay and scientific literature, and has devoted himself to teaching techniques which will help patients age better with or without plastic surgery. His practice includes the use of treatments to improve aging skin, puffiness and hollow areas around the eyelids, and improvement of facial aging around the face and neck in addition to body contouring.

Philosophy of Care

Most patients who are interested in cosmetic surgery to preserve their youthful features and prevent the ongoing effects of aging also wish to have their surgical results last for a long time.  In our practice, our philosophy of care is to encourage our patients to follow a healthy lifestyle, teach them how to follow dietary and supplement regimes, and emphasize other areas of health and well-being including exercise and stress management.  We work closely with other practitioners who furnish expertise in these areas.  We believe that this is an important part of the total picture of plastic surgery.

Interest Areas
Eyelid and periorbital plastic surgery.
Cosmetic facial surgery including facelift, browlift, necklift, rhinoplasty, and otoplasty.
Body contouring including liposuction, breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift.
Abdominoplasty and liposuction of the trunk body area.
Holistic approach to antiaging treatment regimens.

Holistic approach to antiaging treatment regimens:
The basis of good health is being well informed about your current health status and prognosis for life expectancy based on lifestyle and genetic background. In addition to cosmetic surgery, our emphasis is to bring to your awareness all of the things that make a difference in aging and looking good for a long time. Not only do we have a medical Skin Care Center associated with the practice, we also offer advice on dietary pathways, nutritional supplements, antiaging medications and supplements, and a repertoire of providers who can serve you in all of the different areas to enhance your aging. The bottom line is, if your body is not aging well, then your cosmetic surgery procedure will not age well and you will not gain its full benefits.With this total body emphasis, we have found that many people thrive and almost seem to age “backwards” over the years
