If you’ve already connected with me on Facebook and Twitter, then the recent article from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons about plastic surgery patients benefitting from social media networks based on a social media study by the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business probably comes as no surprise. Patient education is one of my top priorities as a plastic surgeon, so I use social media, my blog, and monthly e-newsletter to do so. Whether the information I provide benefits my patients or other surgeons’ patients, I believe that disseminating accurate information is vital to plastic surgery patient safety and allows individuals to make educated choices regarding their health.
With so much information about cosmetic surgery available online, both good and bad, I feel that it’s my job as a board certified plastic surgeon to distribute good, reliable information about plastic surgery. There are so many horror stories about botched plastic surgery and bargain botox, and while I do not want to scare perspective patients away, the possible risks associated with plastic surgery increase dramatically with inexperienced surgeons and fake injectable products that haven’t been approved by the FDA.
Most 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 purified 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.

Now through June 30th, you can save $50 on Dysport® injections. The hylauronic based cosmetic injectable works to smooth frown lines around and between the eyes for up to six months after treatment. Saving is easy: facial rejuvenation patients need only to log on to dysportusa.com, register on the website, and print and mail the posted form to receive the rebate.
