When it comes to transforming your aesthetic dreams into reality, there’s no better place than the Corpus Christi Institute of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery and MedSpa. Named Best Cosmetic Surgeon and Best Medical Spa for the eighth consecutive year in The Bend Magazine’s 2024 Local’s List, our office is the gold standard for Aesthetic and Wellness care. Our secret? An unbeatable team of experts led by the extraordinary Dr. Vijay Bindingnavele.
Dr. Vijay Bindingnavele, a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 25 years of experience and Founder of Corpus Plastic Surgery is the heart and soul of our practice. A U.S Air Force Veteran, a loving husband, and a father of five brings a unique blend of military precision and compassionate care to every procedure. Delivering top-quality results, Dr. Vijay doesn’t just specialize in one area of plastic surgery—he has the distinction of being the ONLY Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Corpus Christi to perform drainless tummy tucks, drainless arm lifts, and Brazilian Butt Lifts, utilizing his modernized techniques for superior patient outcomes and pain control to safely and exceptionally ensure the best possible patient experience. His fully accredited on-site operating room guarantees top-notch safety and convenience. Beloved by his patients, Dr. Vijay’s genuine and down-to-earth nature, coupled with his sharp intellect, and attention to detail makes him a trusted and admired figure.
Our team’s dynamism continues with Nurse Practitioner, Eliana Irigoyen with her infectious energy and positivity. As our Aesthetic Master Injector, Eliana uses Botox and fillers to enhance natural beauty with precision. Her extensive knowledge and meticulous attention to detail ensure that each treatment perfectly suits her patient’s desires. Her expertise extends even further as she leads our innovative Wellness Center. Here, she offers diverse weight loss methods, including our popular “Skinny Shots” with Tirzepatide and Semaglutide and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) using Bioidentical pellets to address hormone imbalances with care. Beyond her medical skills, Eliana excels in making everyone feel at ease. Her compassionate approach and dedication to excellence ensure that you not only look great but also feel your best.
Oh, and the secret behind our patients’ glowing skin? That’s Alma Galvez, our Licensed Medical Aesthetician with over 15 years of experience that extends far beyond her exquisite facials. Her exceptional skills encompass advanced treatments like IPL, laser hair removal, chemical peels, non-surgical skin tightening – procedures you wouldn’t entrust to just anyone. Alma’s vast knowledge allows her to customize specific treatments that are tailored to make you glow indefinitely. Coupled with her empathetic nature, she’s also popularly known for her nurturing demeanor. Let’s just say, Alma turns every treatment into a rejuvenating experience, often serving as a trusted confidante and source of relaxation.
Then there’s, Amanda Cummings, not only our compelling Marketing Director behind all the creative, and educational content you see on our social media platforms, but also the Coastal Bend’s ONLY Certified CoolSculpting Master, specializing in non-invasive body contouring via Cryolipolysis. Working alongside Dr. Vijay has honed her sculpting skills in providing patients with personalized treatment plans and achieving their desired body goals. Her innovative approach, extensive knowledge and versatility allow her to assist in all areas of our practice, providing aesthetic guidance and support to ensure that everyone who steps foot into our office or sends us a “DM” is well taken care of.
The strength of our team extends beyond our lead providers. From the moment you walk through our doors, our entire staff is dedicated to making every visit exceptional.
