CHARLOTTE, N.C., September 1st, 2026 — TUSK Practice Sales (“TUSK”), the premier healthcare-focused M&A advisor, advised Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery in its partnership with Aesthetic Partners, a pioneering platform uniting elite medical aesthetics and plastic surgery brands nationwide.

Under Dr. Garrett Harper’s leadership, the practice has continued to grow while staying true to the high standards that have defined it from the beginning. Today, Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery is recognized as one of the most respected and highly referred aesthetic plastic surgery practices in the Southeast, a trusted destination for patients across the Carolinas seeking comprehensive surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care.
“When we began this process, it was important to find a partner that could help us continue growing the practice while preserving the team, culture, and patient experience we’ve worked so hard to build,” said Dr. Garrett Harper. “TUSK took the time to thoroughly understand our goals and what was important to us for the future, then worked diligently to identify and evaluate partners who shared our vision and were well positioned to help us achieve our long-term objectives. We have a strong, high-performing team, so finding like-minded partners who shared our values and approach was incredibly important. TUSK managed a process that ultimately got us there, and we’re confident Aesthetic Partners will provide the resources and support we need to build on everything we’ve created.”
