Can an Atlanta plastic surgeon compete with a famous pop star in social media? Sounds a little crazy, but Dr. John LeRoy has had quite a reception on Twitter. Since its introduction in 2006, Twitter has grown at an astonishing rate with millions of tweets posted daily. Besides the volume of posts, the number of individuals people follow on Twitter is also rising.

The name Justin Bieber is constantly discussed in regards to Twitter, and he has become the most followed person within the last year. Averaging 11,000 new followers per day, Beiber has over 5 million followers to date. In admirable comparison Dr. LeRoy, or @JohnLLeRoyJrMD as his followers know him, has garnered over 50,000 “followers.”

While the pop prince uses his account to keep his adoring fans in the know about his every move, Dr. LeRoy prefers the site to keep his patients and peers up to date with interesting plastic surgery news. Dr. LeRoy likes the expansive reach of the site, and appreciates that patients are so interested in learning more about their prospective procedures.
LeRoy shared, “Cosmetic surgery is still surgery, and knowledge is still power. If I can help spread information on plastic surgery procedures to others, my patients or not, I feel it helps patients make the best choices for their health.”

While Bieber and LeRoy cannot be rigorously compared for obvious reasons, take a moment to think about this: Justin Bieber is a highly recognized teenage heart-throb. Dr. LeRoy is a cosmetic surgeon from Atlanta who is well-known in his field by both patients and peers. The fact that people are just as interested in learning about medical news, like Dr. LeRoy’s Band Aid Procedures, as they are in learning about Beiber’s concert schedule speaks pretty highly of how Americans value their health.

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.
