Elizabeth Whitaker, MD, FACS

Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker is double board certified, fellowship trained, and one of the most experienced facial plastic surgeons not just in Atlanta but the entire country. Having performed nearly 5,000 facelifts alone, as well as thousands of other cosmetic procedures, her patients know her as the “Queen of Faces.” She has also been selected as one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons by her peers for the past several years.

A graduate of Davidson College and Duke University School of Medicine, she completed her residency at Emory and was one of only 38 surgeons selected nationwide for an advanced fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. She served as the first chief of facial plastic surgery at Augusta University, training residents in facial plastic surgery. “I find facial plastic surgery to be the ultimate fusion of artistry and technical skill,” says Dr. Elizabeth. “It is very gratifying to use your training and expertise to make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

In founding Atlanta Face & Body Center, Dr. Elizabeth offers the latest technological advances for nonsurgical and minimally invasive options, not just her surgical skills. “I want to have the whole toolbox available for my patients, so I can customize the treatment to best address their concerns,” she says. Dr. Elizabeth focuses on her personal philosophy of natural results, utilizing her extensive experience to create her SignatureLift that can be performed with just relaxation and gentle numbing (no general anesthesia) for a quicker recovery. “The best plastic surgery doesn’t announce itself,” she says. “My goal is to leave them wondering how you age so beautifully. I want people to leave feeling more beautiful, confident, and empowered.”
