Medical Weight Loss
If you have successfully lost a significant amount of weight, whether by dieting and exercise or by weight loss surgery, congratulations! Your new, decreased weight will reward you for years to come with better health.

Pregnancy

Ultrasound
Although many types of liposuction are advertised, including methods that use a laser or ultrasound to dissolve some of the fat, the fat is still removed by a cannula regardless of other technological additions to the procedure.
MRI
While all breast implants have a silicone shell, they may be filled with either saline or silicone gel. Saline implants are filled to the desired size with sterile salt water at the time of insertion allowing a smaller incision to be used. Because the saline is similar in consistency to water, they may feel firm or less natural. Silicone implants are pre-filled when manufactured, so they require a slightly longer incision to insert. Because silicone forms itself to the adjacent tissues better than saline, and because of its softer consistency, silicone usually looks and feels more like a natural breast that saline. However, if you choose silicone breast implants, the FDA and the implant manufacturers recommend an MRI every two to three years, as any damage that may occur to a silicone implant may not be evident to you.

General Surgery
After graduating Cum Laude at Davidson College in North Carolina, he obtained his medical degree from the prestigious University of Alabama School of Medicine. He continued on at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Completing his five-year residency in General Surgery, he was named Chief Resident before specializing in his two-year plastic surgery residency where he also achieved Administrative Chief Resident honors.
Hysterectomy
This patient is a woman in her forties who had given birth to four children and had also undergone a hysterectomy. She was bothered by the extra tissue as well as the stretch marks on the abdomen and wanted cosmetic improvement.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Eich has co-authored several publications and abstracts featured in Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Southern Medical Journal and Reconstructive Microsurgery Journals. He has also has given numerous professional presentations in his field of expertise; most notably to...

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Most people have seen many television and print ads for wrinkle eliminating cosmetic surgery injectable fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, & Botox.
Brow Lift
Recovery from an endoscopic or biplanar brow lift is generally faster than a coronal forehead lift. When your procedure is completed, your head will be loosely wrapped to minimize swelling and bruising. The swelling and bruising often extend to the eyes for several days. A thin tube is often placed to drain any excess fluid that may collect under the skin, but this will be removed within a few days.
Eyelid Surgery
Sagging upper eyelids and bags under the eyes are the two most common reasons for eyelid surgery which is called
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to improve the contour of certain areas of the body by removing unwanted fat beneath the skin. As a rule, liposuction is performed under general anesthesia but, depending on the area, may be performed with IV sedation or local anesthesia.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure for women who desire to enlarge their breast size. Birmingham plastic surgeon, Dr. Eich, and his staff will work with you to help you select the proper size and position of your breast implants to obtain the increased fullness and shape you desire from surgical augmentation.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a very common procedure that is done to relieve back and shoulder pain due to the weight of the breasts. It can also bring your breasts more into proportion with the rest of your body size.
Breast Lift
Healthy women who desire larger breasts are usually good candidates for this enlargement procedure. If the breasts droop very much, then a breast lift or
Rhinoplasty
Healthy men and women with concerns about the shape or size of their nose are good candidates for a rhinoplasty. Patients who have suffered from a previous broken nose, who have a deviated septum or experience difficulty breathing through the nose also may benefit from rhinoplasty.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy due to cancer or other disease is an option that is now available to almost all women who desire it. A woman might be reminded of her cancer when she sees the mastectomy scar on her chest instead of a breast in the mirror each morning. Another woman might be bothered by the prosthesis that she has to wear in her bra. Although no reconstructed breast is as nice as a natural breast, surgical techniques and devices developed over the past several years have made it possible for Dr. Eich, a breast reconstructive surgeon in Birmingham, to create a breast that can help a woman regain her self-image and try to put the cancer in the past.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Shelby Eich is a board-certified Birmingham plastic surgeon who is trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures, including those of the face, breast and body. His wealth of experience is a benefit to you, as you’ll feel comfortable knowing he has performed your procedure many, many times and has thousands of satisfied patients.
Thigh Lift
As with the other procedures performed in Dr. Eich’s onsite surgical suite in his Birmingham office, thigh lift procedures require general anesthesia.
Face Lift
Facial rejuvenation procedure that repositions both the musculature and skin of the face in men and women who are experiencing signs of aging. The goal in a face lift is to restore the patient’s face to a more youthful appearance. The public has been exposed to many different kinds of facelifts, ranging from thread lifts, contour lifts, mini- lifts, etc.
Neck Lift
Sometimes weight loss leads to droop of the tissues of the face and neck. This can be treated with face lift or neck lift to tighten the loose support structures of the face and neck and to remove the excess skin.
Blepharoplasty
Sutures remain in place for 5-6 days on average after blepharoplasty. The sutures are removed at your post operative office visit at our office in Birmingham. Blepharoplasty sutures are often placed in the crease or just inside the lower lid area, so the scars from blepharoplasty are generally minimal.
Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
Nose Surgery
Body Lift
A lower body lift is a combined belt lipectomy and thigh lift. Because the belt lipectomy and thigh lift are both large operations, it is usually best not to perform them at the same time. If a patient needs both, for technical reasons the panniculectomy or belt lipectomy should usually be done before the thigh lift.
Breast Surgery
You may shower as usual after surgery, but you must avoid getting into standing water such as a bath or pool. Recovery from any breast surgery requires that you wear a special bra at all times for six weeks and avoid heavy lifting or exercise for approximately the same time frame. While some patients experience a decrease in sensation in the nipple area following breast
Body Contouring
The final decision will be made based on your particular needs, both medical and practical and will be made during your body contouring consultation with Dr. Eich.
Cosmetic Surgery
If facial surgery is something you’ve been thinking about, Dr. Eich performs facelifts, rhinoplasties and eye lifts (blepharoplasties) with great attention to detail in an effort to get you the best result possible from your cosmetic surgery. Dr. Eich also provides nonsurgical laser treatments for brown "age spots" and red spots such as cherry angiomas (red moles) and spider veins on the face.
Dermabrasion
Forehead Lift
An endoscopic forehead lift uses a surgical video device and special instruments placed through small incisions made at the hairline. Mild amounts of excess skin may be re-draped, but the endoscopic method does not allow for the removal of skin in people with a significant amount of excess skin of the forehead.
