dr john leroyMost people understand the goal of facial rejuvenation procedures:  to restore the appearance of younger, tighter facial skin with fewer wrinkles.  What isn’t as widely known is that facial rejuvenation does not necessarily have to include facial plastic surgery.  While a traditional facelift or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is an excellent choice for mature individuals who wish to eliminate hanging, excess skin of the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, or even neck, those with less significant signs of aging may not need the dramatic results offered by such a procedure.

For Atlanta patients who are just noticing the formation of crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes) or creases between the eyebrows and on the forehead, wrinkle-relaxing injectables like Botox® and Dysport® are an excellent option.  Made of slightly different versions of john leroy mdpurified Botulinum, both Botox® and Dysport® inhibit the repeated muscle movements that cause wrinkles.  If you’ve been contemplating Dysport®, now is an excellent time to try it because from July 15th through September 30th, 2011, you can save $50 on 300 units of Dysport®.  Saving is simple; all you have to do is log on to dysportusa.com and register.  After you’ve completed your registration you will be guided to a printable form which you can fill out and mail in to receive your $50 rebate.

Additionally, patients who have received Botox® wrinkle reduction treatment within the last three to twelve months can receive an additional $50 rebate (that’s $100 in total savings) by providing an itemized receipt of their previous Botox® treatment along with their mailed redemption form.

Just as with plastic surgery, no one cosmetic procedure is appropriate for everyone’s cosmetic needs.  Dysport®’s “Think Outside the Bo**x” campaign is designed to allow you to trial your dermal injectable options to see which one works best for you in reducing wrinkles and making you look younger.

Facelift Surgery, Can it be Replaced?

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

With such rapid advancement in the world of plastic surgery and an ever growing procedure menu for patients to choose from, studies show that facelifts are becoming less desired. Patients are now opting for less invasive procedures like Dr. John LeRoy’s Band Aid Facelift, cosmetic injections (Botox® and Dysport®), facial fillers (Restylane® and Juverderm®), and facial laser skin resurfacing. In addition to expanded procedure options, facial rejuvenation patients are starting treatments at a younger age: so their cosmetic issues are less advanced than previous facelift candidates.

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery statistics reveal that,  while the overall number of injectable, facial filler, and lasers treatments performed this past year increased; fewer cosmetic procedure patients opted for  facelifts. In addition to the reasons cited above, many people express fear about the often overly dramatic results of traditional facelift procedures.

Dr. LeRoy doesn’t think the facelift procedure will be replaced by any one superficial treatment; citing facelift surgery’s ability to physically address the underlying issue:  lax facial muscles which have shifted in areas to produce sagging.  However, Dr. LeRoy knows the younger, more proactive, facial plastic surgery demographic requires a refined version of the facial cosmetic surgery.  This was the driving force behind Dr. LeRoy’s development of the minimally invasive Band Aid Facelift procedure in 1997.

Performed in-office and requiring only local anesthesia, the Band Aid Facelift has similar advantages to the dermal injectables (Botox®, Dysport®, Restylane®, and Juverderm®) and laser skin treatments used to eliminate wrinkles in that it can target very specific areas of concern.  This custom-tailored approach to facial rejuvenation allows Dr. LeRoy to address the isolated needs of patients in their 40’s to the comprehensive requests of patient in their 80’s.

During consultation, Dr. LeRoy discusses the patient’s options, desires, and needs for their plastic surgery procedure. Dr. LeRoy performs upper (usually including a brow lift and blepharoplasty procedure), lower (usually including a jowl and necklift), or middle facelift (focusing on mouth and cheeks). Dr. LeRoy also offers a Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and a Band Aid Brow Lift.

Kate Gosselin’s Reported Botox Injections and the Importance of Selecting Experienced Surgeons

, , , , , , , ,

According to a recent story published in US Magazine, reality star and famed mom of twins and sextuplets, Kate Gosselin, has undergone dermal injections to smooth the wrinkles between her eyes.  Whether the 35 year old mother received Dysport® or Botox® is unclear; however, Gosselin gossipers and media have been clamoring over the now overly arched appearance of Gosselin’s brows.  The articles author speculates Kate’s injections were made in a “v” pattern between her eyes to minimize wrinkles while the area above her brows was left untreated causing the brow muscles to over-work and appear raised.

Atlanta Plastic Surgeon Dr. John LeRoy performs procedures of the face, breast, and body, but is well versed in dermal injections like the ones Gosselin is reported to have undergone.  Regardless of the media coverage and speculations, Dr. LeRoy stresses to patients the importance of a thorough consultation to avoid the cookie cutter approach some surgeons take with this type of procedure.

Dr. LeRoy shares, “Patients need to make sure their respective physician reviews their issues specifically.  While any plastic surgeon may know how to do the injections, it’s only those surgeons who take the time to analyze a patient’s repeated facial expressions and note their specific problem areas that deliver an enhanced, but not overly enhanced, dermal injection result.”

Dr. LeRoy works to enhance the natural beauty of every patient regardless of their procedure.  In addition to Botox® and Dysport®, he offers facelift, neck lift, and eyelid (blepharoplasty) procedures to address facial rejuvenation.  He has also originally developed a “Band Aid” line of cosmetic procedures which allow patients to rejuvenate the appearance of their faces through minimally-invasive, in-office procedures which utilize local anesthesia.  These mini-version procedures address the cosmetic issues of patients without producing an over-done look.  If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with Dr. LeRoy visit his website of contact his office.
