DAN H. SHELL IV, M.D., FACS
Oxford Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
As a native Mississippian and a University of Mississippi graduate, the opportunity to start a plastic surgery practice has been a dream come true for Dr. Shell. During his general surgery training at The University of Tennessee in Memphis and plastic surgery training at The University of Alabama in Birmingham, Dr. Shell recognized the unmet need for plastic and reconstructive surgery in North Mississippi. Dr. Shell is in private practice in Oxford.
Dr. Shell is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Shell provides a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients. The most common cosmetic procedures include; but are not limited to, breast surgery (reduction, reconstruction, augmentation and lift), body contouring (tummy tuck and liposuction), facial rejuvenation (surgical and nonsurgical), wound management and skin cancer treatment. Nonsurgical facial procedures such as Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers have become increasingly popular as patients seek less expensive alternatives with minimal downtime. Dr. Shell is currently on active staff at Baptist North Mississippi. At Shell Plastic Surgery, we strive to listen carefully to be sure that all treatments are customized to meet your goals. The latest technology is offered in a comfortable and confidential setting. We look forward to meeting you.
