Certifications and Professional Affiliations
Surgeon ProfileDr. Broc Pratt is a firm believer that the integration of art and medicine is the best approach to achieving optimal results and patient satisfaction. He utilizes his extensive training, experience and discriminating eye for detail in the pursuit of body symmetry and a more youthful appearance. The ultimate result is a more vibrant, natural look for his patients. At Metrolina Plastic Surgery Dr. Pratt will offer comprehensive cosmetic surgery of both the face and body. Areas of specific interest include body contouring following weight loss, cosmetic vaginal rejuvenation, structural fat grafting, and breast/body enhancement following childbirth. Non-surgical procedures, such as Botox®, Juvederm™, and other injectable fillers are also an integral part of his practice. Dr. Pratt grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of South Florida and then went on to the University of Florida College of Medicine where he received his medical degree in 1997. Dr. Pratt then completed five years of general surgery training at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. While in Charlotte, Dr. Pratt's enthusiasm led him to dedicate an additional year of research in minimally invasive surgery. Following six years of surgical training in Charlotte, Dr. Pratt then completed a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Upon completion of his plastic surgery fellowship, he returned to Charlotte as a faculty member and Clinical Instructor of Plastic Surgery at Carolinas Medical Center. The position afforded the unique opportunity to be involved in a variety of complex reconstructive procedures as well as catering to the needs of the elective cosmetic surgery patient. The experience resulted in Dr. Pratt's emerging passion for aesthetic surgery and the desire to use his talents to help patients in achieving physical improvements and at the same time, enhancing their self esteem. "As a physician, quality patient care is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that teamwork, communication and patient education are essential to patient satisfaction. It is important to provide as much knowledge and information as possible at the time of consultation to help my patient's make sound, informed decisions. I have found that when a patient is part of the decision making process, the sense of collaboration often replaces their anxiety about the procedure." Dr. Pratt is a member of the North Carolina Medical Society and a candidate for membership into the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He has hospital privileges at Carolinas Medical Center, CMC-Pineville, and CMC-Mercy, although most surgeries are performed at the on site AAAA certified private surgical suite. He is licensed in North Carolina and has volunteered his surgical services in Ghana, West Africa at the Baptist Medical Center where he served the rural and impoverished villages of the Gold Coast. He has co-authored a chapter in the textbook, "Minimally Invasive Cancer Management," and has published over 13 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals such as; Annals of Plastic Surgery, Surgical Clinics of North America, Seminars in Laparoscopic Surgery, The American Surgeon, Surgical Endoscopy, The Journal of Surgical Research, and the prestigious Journal of the American College of Surgeons. His academic work has been presented in Singapore, Germany and at major surgical forums throughout the United States. His contributions have led to several distinguished awards, such as the Ambrose Paré Award for outstanding student of surgery, the Carolinas Laparoscopic and Advanced Surgery Award for outstanding contributions to minimally invasive surgical research, the North Carolina Chapter of the American College of Surgeons Clinical Research Award, and the Southern Medical Association Research Award. Education and Training
TestimonialsFrom Tracy in Gastonia, North CarolinaI just had my 1 week post-op after breast augmentation. I am already settling very nicely. I am 43 years old and decided that it was time for a little "makeover." my daughter had her breasts done with Dr. Bednar 5 years ago and she is still thrilled with the results. I am very small-framed and am comfortable with a small C now ( I was barely a b after kids). The look is very very natural and totally fits my frame. I did not want the so-called implanted look and wanted people to wonder whether I had them done or not. i definitely do not want to look like Posh Spice with her two balloons. I am very happy and even my daughter thinks that mom looks hot. My only regret is now that I did not do this sooner. My daughter was my "nurse" and it was wonderful that she saw some of the same faces that she had in the recovery room after her own surgery as well as Sandy the anesthetist. Thank you for everything-I am happy to be a member of the Boob club. From Bea in Charlotte, North CarolinaI had breast augmentation last month and I am more than happy with the results. I opted for the teardrop shape and am a full c/small d with 450 ccs. They look very natural and perfectly fit my frame. I chose Dr. Bednar based upon credentials and a great reputation. Also, he offers more than one implant shape, such as the teardrop, which I was really interested in. Apparently, he has used the implant since inception both for reconstructive and cosmetic reasons. What I really walked away with was an overall great experience with a surgeon who listened and a staff that was very helpful and professional. And, finally I have very beautiful and natural looking breasts that I absolutely love. From K.P. in Bethesda, MarylandI flew down to Charlotte to have my surgery with Dr. Bednar. I did extensive research on the internet and after looking at before and after photos as well as asking about him in chat rooms and other resources, I decided to have surgery there. He is highly recommended and has a wonderful way of explaining all the details to you. It was definitely worth coming all the way down there even though I could have had the surgery in Maryland. The staff was very very helpful and I felt that I could have not been treated better. It has been one month post-op and I look and feel great — he made me look so natural with my teardrop implants — the size is exactly what I was looking for-medium range C cup — I feel confident and very feminine. Thank you for this wonderful experience — I would do it all over again. From S.G. in Charlotte, North CarolinaI had my surgery a few months ago with Dr. Bednar because he came highly recommended and has a great reputation for very natural results — he is also an artist. I love my new breasts and have myself passed his name on to many friends who are interested in the procedure. He is honest and listens — everyone took great care of me and I felt that I had the best care in the world. He is definitely worth the trip if you are from out-of-town.
