Profile

Dr. Parker Velargo is a double board certified, fellowship trained Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. Dr. Velargo is a specialist in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, nose, eyelids, ears, and neck. In addition, Dr. Velargo has extensive experience in non-surgical treatments of the face and neck, including injectables and laser therapy. Dr. Velargo’s signature facial plastic surgery procedures include faceliftrhinoplasty and eyelid surgery.

Dr. Velargo graduated magna cum laude from Louisiana State University and attended Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, where he graduated in the top quartile of his medical school class.

Dr. Velargo knew early on that he wanted to specialize in facial and nasal surgery. After medical school, he trained in Head & Neck Surgery at The University of Tennessee College of Medicine. During his five years of residency, Dr. Velargo had the unique opportunity to train with two prominent leaders in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Phillip R. Langsdon and Dr. John “Mac” Hodges. 

As a result, Dr. Velargo finished his residency (before fellowship) with nearly triple the number of facelift cases than the average plastic surgeon finishing training has. 

This privilege was complemented with extensive experience in advanced surgical management of complex facial injuries at the famous Elvis Presley Memorial Level I Trauma Center at The Regional Medical Center in Memphis, TN. Throughout residency, Dr. Velargo also gained tremendous experience in facial reconstruction following cancer resection at numerous hospitals in Memphis, TN including the world-renowned St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Dr. Cooper, I can't thank you enough for taking me on. I know I have been a challenge for you from the start, but from the beginning of this rather difficult journey and all the way through, you have given me the very best care in every respect. You have taken the time to make me feel safe and so very confident that I am getting the very best of everything. You are an amazing, compassionate woman and an incredible surgeon. Kylee and Amber are such a great addition to your team and I'm thankful every day that I found you. For the first time in a very long time, I feel confident in my body and feel like a vibrant woman again. If I could give you ten stars, I happily would. Thank you for changing my life.

Highly recommended! The entire staff treats you like family from the very first consult and every time after that. Never do you feel pressured or influenced...

After consulting with several Doctors for a breast augmentation, I felt the most comfortable with Doctor Hendrick. All of my questions were answered, not rushed and he was very detailed. I left his office confident in what I wanted. His staff are beyond amazing, all of my appointments and surgery date were not a hassle to get around. I was a 34b, I was a little hesitant on how big I wanted to go. I still wanted to look natural, I didn't want something that didn't fit my body frame. Doctor adviced me with 275-300cc to give me a fuller look, and that's exactly what he accomplished. After surgery I didn't really have any bruising or trouble recovering, on my second day post surgery I was already up and walking fine, on my third day I stopped taking any pain killers. Over all, recovery was pretty fast. I have not gone bra shopping yet, (3 weeks since surgery) but I can tell I am a c-cup now. I was afraid I was going to look bigger up top and wouldn't look good in certain outfits but the implants definitly compliment my outfits better now. I am extremely happy with the results it's exactly what I wanted. I would recommend this doctor, specially to anyone going for the "natural" look.
