Ask Dr. LeRoy: “When Should I Get Laser Skin Resurfacing?”

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Many cosmetic procedures come with an associated recommended age at which they should be performed. For example, many people begin facial injections as early as their twenties and thirties, while facelifts are often sought after following the forty year mark. However, when it comes to Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, there is not an exactly pinpointed age as being more beneficial than another. Rather, as a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I like to assess the extent of the signs of aging present as well as your history of other cosmetic procedures when determining if Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is right for you.

laser resurfacing in atlanta gaIf you’ve already had a cosmetic procedure, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is an opportunity to restore a more youthful appearance and maintain your original results.  With the controlled power of DOT fractionated CO2 laser technology, this treatment produces microscopic perforations on the skin’s surface. From here, the body’s natural healing responses work to create fresh, new cells.  This sequence encourages the skin’s capability of producing collagen, the structural fiber that provides the supple, even tone that often accompanies young skin.

Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is not to be mistaken as being the same as traditional laser technology. Its Band Aid alternative not only uses a less comprehensive energy source, but also can produce visible cosmetic improvement in skin tone, surface texture, and evenness within a single treatment.  Similar to my other Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures, Laser Skin Resurfacing is completed in-office with gentle numbing.

Whether my patients are receiving minimally-invasive treatments or a traditional facelift, I consistently recommend wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every day (even going into cooler fall and winter seasons), abstaining from smoking and staying well hydrated to protect the skin and decelerate signs of aging.  To learn more about how you can maintain your plastic surgery results with the cosmetic procedures I perform, contact us to schedule your consultation.   Be sure to also connect with me, Dr. John L.

Embrace the Beauty of Change: Band Aid Plastic Surgery Featured in September Issue of Atlanta Magazine

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Though summer truly winds down in August in the South due to school starting early, September is when it truly begins to feel like fall. Autumn décor that’s been hiding in closets since last November comes back out to line our porches. Trees that seemed they’d remain luscious and green forever just a few months ago will soon begin changing colors. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I embrace this type of change, applying it to my practice and encouraging my patients to as well.

After all, we all change over the years. We begin to see small lines crop up around the eyes as permanent reminders of our expressions over the years.  I firmly believe that plastic surgery does not have to make you look like a completely different person.  Rather, small procedures that tweak cosmetic concerns to help restore youthful confidence can actually make you look more like yourself.  Band Aid Plastic Surgery is an ideal way to do it without completely changing your appearance.  In this September’s issue of Atlanta Magazine, I’m sharing this message with others.

In this month’s issue, you’ll find a feature about my renowned Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures. In the advertisement, we featured a woman who perceptibly has no worries or anxiety regarding her appearance.  She exudes confidence and timeless beauty. With Band Aid Plastic Surgery treatments such as Band Aid Facelift, patients often feel this feeling of confidence and inner peace due to a renewed outer appearance. Worries of aging signs seem to diminish with minimally invasive versions of comprehensive plastic surgery procedures.

Change isn’t something to fear, it’s something to embrace. View the piece below to learn more about some of the procedures I perform to help you reflect on the remarkable qualities that make your unique appearance your own.

Ageless Grace: Band Aid Plastic Surgery Featured in August Issue of Atlanta Magazine

, , , , , , , , ,

facial plastic surgery atlanta gaAlthough summer is a season that we look forward to each year, as we watch it begin to fade away, we may notice some of our radiance going with it. If you’ve spent hours in the sun boating, fishing, laying poolside, playing in the sand, or other summer activities, you may spot the appearance of early aging signs. I’ve built my Band Aid Plastic Surgery line around the notion of addressing signs like lax skin and sun damage as a means of further aging prevention, making procedures like Band Aid Skin Tightening and Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing the go-to for many patients in Atlanta.

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I am passionate about this cause as it is my personal belief that the tiered approach to anti-aging allows for your natural beauty to shine through. Plastic surgery does not have to make you look like a different person. I believe that with a unique approach, you can restore the inimitable sparkle in your eyes and exude the confidence of youth you once had. I’m sharing this message with others in the August issue of Atlanta Magazine.

In this month’s issue, you’ll find a special feature about my distinguished Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures. The woman in the advertisement has not a concern in the world regarding her appearance—she is naturally beautiful and possesses an ageless grace. With Band Aid Plastic Surgery treatments such as Band Aid Facelift, patients often feel this feeling of peace after resolving cosmetic worries with minimally-invasive versions of traditional plastic surgery procedures.

Liposuction: Is It Permanent?

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure continually topping the list of the most popular cosmetic procedures pursued by plastic surgery patients.  According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s most recent 2013 statistics, liposuction was the number one most popular cosmetic surgical procedure, followed by breast augmentation. With 363,912 procedures performed nationwide in 2013 alone, the commonality of liposuction speaks for itself—but there are still many questions to be answered as to how it works.

Atlanta Liposuction: Is It Permanent? A common question I often hear regards the permanence of liposuction. Though losing inches and fat from liposuction certainly sounds attractive, patients want to know if fat can come back post-operation. Excess fat, whether prominent or tucked away in areas only we notice personally, is something that many of us struggle with.  If you’re in good health overall but possess isolated areas of exercise-resilient fat, liposuction or body sculpting may be an answer to this commonly shared cosmetic concern. Now, back to the question—is liposuction permanent?

To be frank, the answer to this question is not entirely simple.  Liposuction works by surgically removing fat by an auxiliary method such as ultrasound, laser energy, or vibration through a thin metal tube (also known as a cannula) inserted into a tiny incision hidden inside the treatment area. An additional method frequently used is tumescent liposuction, which involves injecting a tumescent fluid (a custom solution of local anesthetic and saline) to minimize pain and bleeding. After these fat cells are eliminated from the body, they are permanently removed. However, any fat cells left over maintain the ability to contract or expand based on your weight loss or gain.

Based on this fact alone, we’re reminded of the significance of liposuction’s status as a cosmetic procedure rather than a method of weight loss.  It’s important to reach a maintainable goal weight before surgery to avoid unwanted outcomes like dimpling and uneven contouring.  Liposuction is a great way to decrease bothersome areas if you’re a few pounds within your ideal body weight.  For patients with smaller areas of excess fat, Band Aid Liposuction may be performed in-office with gentle numbing like my other Band Aid Plastic Surgery techniques.
