about CAPS
ST. GEORGE, UT | HENDERSON, NV
CENTERED AROUND YOU
The Center for Advanced Plastic Surgery (CAPS) is the premier plastic surgery practice in St. George, Utah, dedicated to helping patients look and feel their best through thoughtful, personalized cosmetic care. Led by experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons, CAPS combines advanced surgical expertise with an individualized approach designed around each patient's unique goals, anatomy and lifestyle.
We believe the best cosmetic surgery doesn't change who you are. It enhances what is already there. Whether you're considering facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, body contouring or another aesthetic procedure, your experience begins with an honest conversation about what you want to achieve. From consultation through recovery, our team prioritizes education, realistic expectations, patient safety and results that feel natural and true to you.
Choosing to have cosmetic surgery is personal, and choosing your surgeon should be, too. At CAPS, patients receive the benefit of decades of surgical experience alongside attentive, one-on-one care. Our goal isn't simply to perform a procedure. It's to make sure you feel heard, informed and confident in your decisions every step of the way.
Located in St. George and serving patients throughout Southern Utah and beyond, CAPS provides a welcoming, professional environment where experience and artistry come together. Because exceptional plastic surgery is about more than how you look when you leave. It's about feeling confident in the care you received to get there.
WHY CAPS?
Plastic surgery is personal. Your care should be, too.
fairness
Our fees are transparent, responsible, and ethically grounded. Pricing should reflect the expertise, time, facility, anesthesia, and care required to perform a procedure well — not simply what a market will tolerate or what a larger metropolitan practice might charge.
authenticity
We do not chase trends, hype, or social media attention. We communicate honestly, acknowledge limitations, and believe the experience patients have with us should match the way we present ourselves publicly.
JUDGEMENT
Our responsibility is not merely to explain what can be done, but to help patients understand what should be done. Recommendations are based on sound surgical principles, realistic expectations, and what is most likely to serve the patient well over time.
experience
We believe experience should lead to better judgment, not simply more procedures. Decades in surgery have taught us the value of thoughtful planning, restraint, and knowing when not to operate.
These principles guide how we treat patients, how we communicate, how we price our services, and how we represent the practice in our community.
you should still look like you
The best cosmetic surgery shouldn't make people wonder what you had done, it should leave you looking refreshed, balanced, and like yourself.
Every face and body is different. Every surgical plan is different. At CAPS, we don't believe in chasing trends, creating one-size-fits-all results, or changing features that make you uniquely you. Instead, we focus on thoughtful enhancements that complement your natural proportions and align with your goals.
We believe in building confidence.

"As a physician myself, the decision to undergo a facelift was a big one however who my surgeon was going to be was very important to me. After doing my research, I found Dr. Shashikant.
Dr. Shashikant did a wonderful job, even my kids say I look ten years younger! I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Dr. Shashikant for this procedure."

Got a much needed mommy makeover. Dr. Peterson worked with me to reach a goal weight so the surgery would be safe and get the results I wanted. I’m am all healed and feeling great! Dr. Peterson called me himself after surgery to see how I was feeling and make sure I was comfortable. That was the most touching moment. WOW!
Dr. Peterson was recommended by a friend and I would recommend him to everyone!

"Dr. Shashikant did my breast augmentation in November 2024. This is a surgery I’ve wanted for YEARS, especially after losing 70 pounds. My surgery was awesome, my recovery was minimal, and my confidence has grown exponentially.
10/10 would recommend working with Dr. Shashikant as your cosmetic surgeon!"
