Every Kid Healthy™ Week is an annual observance created by the Action for Healthy Kids to celebrate school health and wellness. This special week shines a spotlight on the link between nutrition, physical activity, and learning, recognizing schools that are making efforts to improve the health and wellness of their students. Healthy kids are better prepared to learn, grow and be their best. We want to provide every opportunity to help kids feel happy and healthy. Sometimes, children can face stress or anxiety surrounding unique facial features or conditions. It’s common for parents, along with their teens, to seek cosmetic surgery to address areas that may be negatively affecting their quality of life. A procedure common among our younger patients is ear surgery, also known as ear pinning or otoplasty. It’s helpful in addressing overly-large or disproportionate ears. This procedure involves permanent stitches being placed in the natural folds behind the ears to “pin” them in a new position. These stitches are well hidden and should not be noticeable to anyone, nor should they result in any discomfort after the initial healing period. In most cases, discomfort will subside within one to two weeks, allowing patients to enjoy the […]

Like many of us, this patient struggled with excess fat around her stomach and abdomen. Sometimes stubborn fat hangs around in unflattering places and you can’t get rid of it with regular diet and exercise. We have many patients come in seeking help for their stomach areas. When this patient came in for a consultation, we devised a unique plan for her procedure involving liposuction and an abdominoplasty to address her concerns and leave her with a slim, feminine shape. A tummy tuck is one of our body contouring procedures \, used to tighten abdominal muscles that have been weakened or separated. To do this, an opening is made above the pubic area, as well as around the belly button. During this process, the belly button is repositioned and the abdominal muscles are tightened up, resulting in the removal of fat and excess skin in the upper and lower abdomen. With all tummy tucks, only necessary incisions are made to help reduce scarring while still providing beautiful results. This patient’s belly button scar is so well hidden, you don’t even notice it! If you have hesitations around the scarring, there are other options that involve less incisions, including […]

The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and spring weather is finally here! While we welcome the beautiful weather with open arms, we begrudgingly face the bane of springtime in Atlanta…pollen. For people who suffer from allergies during this time of year, pollen can make even the most basic day-to-day activity difficult. We don’t want you struggling with puffy eyes and a runny nose during the nicest weeks of the year. Here are some ideas for alleviating those frustrating symptoms: First and foremost, staying hydrated will help decrease fluid buildup in your sinuses. If your sinus symptoms are strong and medicine hasn’t helped with your breathing problems, you might want to consider a rhinoplasty procedure. Although the procedure cannot cure your allergies, it can open airways and aid breathing problems caused by nose structure. Rhinoplasty is a highly beneficial procedure for solving the breathing problems we mentioned, in addition to addressing any dissatisfaction you may have with the shape or size of your nose. We perform both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ rhinoplasty procedures, with the distinction being whether the incision is made on the outside or inside of the nose. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made […]

We’re a few months away from the heat of summer, which is the perfect time to get swimsuit ready. You can book an appointment now for the surgery or treatment that’s right for you, still leaving plenty of time for recovery. We have several popular body contouring procedures that can help you achieve the summer body you’ve been working towards. Breast Augmentation: The appearance and size of your breasts can affect your confidence, especially when wearing a bathing suit. Breast augmentation can enhance your feminine figure, giving you boosted confidence and self esteem. During your consultation, we can carefully assess your physical characteristics and aesthetic goals to help you achieve a natural, youthful appearance. Buttock Augmentation: Like a breast augmentation, a buttock augmentation (or butt lift) can enhance your feminine figure and significantly improve your self confidence. We use the Brazilian butt lift technique in order to deliver a firmer, fuller, better-defined butt with high levels of safety and an easy recovery. Liposuction: This technique is a wonderful way to remove a significant amount of fat from several areas of your body, eliminating any worry spots that might be keeping you from feeling your best in a bathing suit. Whether […]

Breasts are an aspect of a woman’s physique that often affects her self-esteem, confidence and concept of self. Breast surgery provides an avenue for volume changes, reshaping, and overall breast rejuvenation. For many years, breast augmentation has been the most common type of breast procedure performed in America, and it continues to rank number one today. There are a few different types of augmentation procedures, depending on the implant type and incision placement you prefer, but all options aim to achieve the same goal of a refreshed and naturally feminine shape. This procedure is a wonderful way to enhance your femininity and boost your self-esteem, but there are several misconceptions associated with the surgery that we’d like to set straight! For starters, the common misconception is that a breast procedure will leave you with unnatural or “plastic” looking results. Not under our care! Based on your unique anatomy, age, and other physical considerations, we will work directly with you to determine the options for your surgery that will best meet your aesthetic goals and provide a beautifully natural appearance. Check out some of the amazing results we’ve had with other patients in our breast augmentation gallery. Now, when it comes […]

Temperatures are rising and summer is quickly approaching. It may be daunting for some, and if you’re dreading the warmer weather, we understand your pain. We’re here to help you beat the heat. It’s miserable to be hot all the time, especially if you’re not only hot but sweaty as well. When the temperature rises, your body can heat up and cause an increase in the production of sweat. In fact, one in five people suffer from an excessive sweating/perspiration condition called hyperhidrosis. We don’t want you to spend this summer scared of sweat stains, so if you’ve been caught drying your pits in the bathroom, using liners in your shirts, or changing several times because you’ve sweat through your tops, we’re here to help you! You can prevent the over-sweating this summer with our miraDry service, a safe permanent solution for excessive perspiration. The noninvasive procedure uses a microwave radiation laser to eradicate the sweat glands located in the armpits, reducing perspiration to normal levels in the body. Studies have shown that after the procedure has been performed, perspiration can be reduced by at least 82%. Imagine walking into your office without having to stop in the bathroom and […]

Winter is winding down and it’s safe to say, we’re all looking ahead to warmer months. If you’re already stressing about swimsuit season, don’t be afraid to show some skin in the sun. We’ve got you covered! The best way to rejuvenate your skin while evening your skin tone is with a laser skin resurfacing treatment. We offer three types of laser treatments, each offering different benefits depending on your desired results and procedure commitment. The newest treatment on the market is the Deka DOT laser. The laser utilizes a ‘dot’ pattern to create thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin while leaving the areas around each ‘dot’ intact. This allows for the skin to heal faster between and around the tiny ‘dots.’ The impact left by the DOT is not as deep as other lasers, eliminating the chance for bruising or damage. Additionally, the technology allows for independent control of both the laser strength and dwell time, so we can tailor the treatment and recovery to your unique needs. For the Deka DOT laser, the in-office appointment is relatively quick, usually averaging just twenty minutes for an entire face area treatment. After the procedure, your skin may show […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! On a day dedicated to hearts, we want to make sure that yours is taken care of! For the month of February, the American Heart Association (AHA) is continuing to raise awareness for heart health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, may be preventable with education and lifestyle changes. The best thing you can do is practice a healthy lifestyle, so we’ve got some helpful tips on how to focus on your heart health: Know your risk. The AHA has a helpful checklist to examine your lifestyle and assess your risk for heart disease. Schedule a check-up. Your regular physician can measure your blood pressure and cholesterol to get a better grasp on your condition. Get moving! If you’re inside at work all day, take periodic breaks to walk a lap around the office or take a lap around the block when you get home. The AHA recommends at least 40 minutes of strenuous activity per day. Exercising can help you lose weight and lessen the strain on your heart. […]

Whether it’s a treat-yourself splurge or just a way to prep for the special day, we’re here to help you pamper and prepare.

Commonly known injectables such as Juvederm™, Restylane® and Restylane® Silk, along with injections of natural fat, can be used to fill lip lines and give lips a fuller, rounder appearance. It’s the perfect procedure to perfect your pout. Juvederm™ is one of the most popular facial injectables available. Juvederm is infused with lidocaine, an anesthetic that provides greater comfort at the injection site for an easy and relaxed non-invasive plastic surgery experience. You can see amazing results like this with just 1cc of Juvederm! Other popular fillers include Restylane®, Restylane® Silk and natural fat. Restylane® and Restylane® Silk are clear gel formulas made with a sugar that is […]

Like many of us, this patient was dealing with problem areas, specifically around his neck and jowls. He came in seeking a procedure to remove sagging skin as well as tighten the muscles and skin throughout his neck and jaw. We walked him through the multiple options commonly used to address this area, including surgical and nonsurgical facelifts. The ultimate choice was a type of facelift called a MACS lift, or commonly known as a neck lift. MACS lift is an abbreviation for ‘Minimal Access Cranial Suspension-lift.’ The procedure uses short incisions around the chin and neck to tighten skin and erase wrinkles. The incision is made in the natural crease in front of the ear, so any scarring is hidden and unnoticeable. Through this incision, we’re able to detach the skin from the cheeks up to the corner of the jaw near the neck. The underlying muscles are tightened and lifted vertically, creating a firm and smooth appearance. The procedure takes a maximum of 3 hours, and recovery is smooth. This standout patient was back to his regular activities in one week, with minimal bruising and scarring fading quickly. If you may be interested in the MACS facelift […]

With the start of the new year comes all of the predictions for what’s to come. What will be the most popular beauty trend of the year? What will be the must-have fashion choice for 2018? It might be hard to identify the year-defining moments that haven’t happened yet, but there are some things that we can forecast. Usually popular fads in the beauty industry come and go, but a particular beauty trend has stuck around for the last few years, and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Society has come to favor a larger, curvier rear-end. While some of what you see in magazines may be a result of a thousand squats a day, it’s likely stars are turning to cosmetic surgery to achieve their dream derrière. One of our procedures, the Brazilian butt lift, is a common choice for women looking to enhance the size and shape of their behind. A Brazilian butt lift is a combination of an augmentation and a lift, designed to enhance the size as well as contour the shape of the buttock. Of course, patients that come to us seeking this procedure typically want a more subtle, natural appearance, […]

According to an annual member survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), two of the top reasons patients have for seeking cosmetic surgery are the need to remain competitive in the workforce and the impact of social media. The survey showed that 42 percent of members report social media as a primary reason for their decision to undergo plastic surgery procedures. Women and men are feeling the pressure more than ever to look their best. More men are now undergoing plastic surgery to keep their youthful appearance or change what they do not like about their body. According to another survey by the AAFPRS, over 30 percent of men said they are “extremely likely” to consider a cosmetic procedure, surgical or non-surgical. Of those men, 58 percent were between 25 and 34 years old, and 34 percent were between 18 and 24 years old. Some of the most common procedures for men include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, breast reduction, liposuction, and tummy tuck. That’s right, we said a tummy tuck! While the procedure is best known as an option for new mothers, it can also be a solution for anyone dealing with excess skin and […]

It’s officially the new year and we are welcoming 2018 with open arms! A lot of people make New Year’s resolutions, or vow to make a change come January 1st. The new year can be a great source of motivation for those needing a fresh start to their routine.

For example, drinking more water, trying a new veggie, and taking the stairs are simple, trusted tricks to start you on the path to a healthier routine. Minor changes like these can improve your mood and give you the motivation you need to make larger improvements. You can then take bigger steps involving nutrition and exercise.

We hope you had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays and we wish you a very Happy New Year! We’re celebrating that the year is ending and closing the book on all the stress that came along with it. Stress can come from a variety of factors in your life and can negatively affect all aspects of your well-being. The Mayo Clinic has compiled a list of the extensive effects stress can have on your body, mood, and behavior. Notable effects include lack of sleep, fatigue and overeating. This can lead to harsh results for your body and lifestyle. If the past year was extra taxing for you and you’re looking to erase some of the physical effects of stress, we have different treatment options that may solve what you’re looking for.

We’ve noticed a hot new trend making headlines in the beauty industry… people are buzzing about “thighlighting”. Everyone from bloggers to magazine editors are raving about this new beauty regimen. When we think of cosmetic surgery, our minds often go to common procedures like breast implants, tummy tucks and facelifts. We don’t typically think of legs at the top of the list, probably because we associate them more with exercise and muscle toning. The latest trend of “thighlighting” describes the growing desire for women to achieve supermodel-like legs and involves a combination of treatments aiming to make your legs appear longer and leaner. There has been an increase in patients seeking treatment for their thighs and calves including thigh lifts, calf implants, and liposuction, aimed to help contour the inner and outer thighs. Thigh lifts are typically more involved procedures, using a combination of techniques to address the targeted area. This treatment is more ideal for people who have lost considerable weight on their own or following bariatric surgery. The procedure removes excess fat, cellulite, and sagging skin to provide a refreshed and toned appearance to the leg. Liposuction will likely be the better choice for this area […]

As the year winds down, it’s important to close it out in the right way: turning the lessons we’ve learned in the past year into new, fresh perspectives on how to tackle life in 2018. If the way you see the world, or the way the world sees you, has got you down in the dumps recently, we want to help. If you’re struggling with heavy, drooping lids or sagging skin around your eyes, it may take a toll on your self-esteem and affect the way others see you. We want you to feel like your most beautiful self in the new year so you can make the best impression on the world. Eyelid surgery may be the right choice to have you looking and feeling your best. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure in which excess skin and tissue around your eyelids is removed to provide you with a refreshed, youthful appearance. Men and women alike choose eyelid surgery to help correct heavy fat deposits that are causing eyelids to droop, excess tissue or bags underneath the eyes leaving a puffy or sagging appearance, and excess skin or folds that surround the eyes. It’s […]

There are many factors to decide when getting breast implants, like placement, implant type and implant size. It’s helpful to know the options for these choices so you can pick the style that best suits your unique wants and needs. Here’s a quick run-down of what you’ll be looking for surrounding your breast augmentation procedure: Implant Type: Silicone vs. Saline. We offer both silicone and saline breast implants, and are eager to help you make the right choice. Typically, we suggest silicone implants for anyone interested in a breast augmentation. Due to the way they are made, silicone implants typically have a more natural look and feel, with a lesser chance of containing imperfections such as rippling or wrinkling and a lower risk of skin stretching. They are generally suitable for women with little breast tissue to cover the implant. The main drawback of the silicone implants is that they are only FDA approved for women ages 22 and older. Placement Options: Above Muscle vs Under Muscle. Subglandular breast implant placement is beneath your breast tissue but above the muscles in your chest. The obvious benefit of this placement option is that it minimizes impact to your chest […]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! As we spend tomorrow surrounded by precious loved ones and delicious food, we take the time to appreciate all of our blessings. It’s important to come together and be thankful for all that we have, and we’re thankful for you! We’ve been so lucky to be a part of our patients’ journeys to help them on the path of being a happier and healthier version of themselves. For example, this patient came to us seeking help with her heavy, drooping eyelids. During consultations, we worked with her to understand her desired results and planned how to achieve them with a blepharoplasty procedure. Changes to the face are so impactful and it was amazing to see her happiness at these amazing results. Even the smallest of change can make the biggest difference. Both of these stunning results came from facial injectable procedures. There are many unique options when it comes to injectables, and we love working with each patient to find the best choice for them. We love our patients and want you to know you will always be a part of the Crispin Plastic Surgery family. We are so thankful for you! Happy […]

Many people believe cosmetic surgery is only for women, but statistics over the past several years have shown that services such as ‘menjections’ have been on the rise. The trend of men receiving injectable treatments exploded in the last decade and continues to grow. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures for male patients rose four percent over the last year and a whopping 376 percent since 2000. Additionally, injectables like fat, Juvederm™ and Restylane® have risen up to nine percent in the last year.. Facial injectables can be used in a variety of different areas on the body to plump, rejuvenate, and refresh skin for a more youthful appearance. We offer many different types of facial injectables, and they all have unique advantages for different uses. There’s something for everybody! Some injectables provide immediate results, but experience fading over several months, while others include collagen stimulators to boost natural tissue growth and increase results over time. There’s even an injectable that’s specially infused with lidocaine to make the injection process less painful. With so many options, we can certainly find the right one for you! You can […]

November is commonly known for cooler weather and celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family, however, it’s also connected to bringing awareness to some important causes. The ‘Movember’ campaign encourages men to grow mustaches in the month of November to raise awareness for men’s health. Many men also practice “No Shave November” and let their beards grow for the month as well. We’d like to add a new tradition this month, ‘No Sweat November’! Maybe your heavy winter coat keeps you too warm indoors or the heater has got you working up a sweat at your desk. You can celebrate ‘No Sweat November’ with our miraDry service, a safe permanent solution for excessive perspiration. One in five people suffer from an excessive sweating/perspiration condition called hyperhidrosis. This can lead to discomfort and embarrassment, especially for those who suffer from drenched filled clothes due to this condition. The noninvasive procedure uses a microwave radiation laser to eradicate the sweat glands located in the armpits, reducing perspiration in the body. Studies have shown dramatic results for patients that underwent the treatment. This procedure can be life altering and a perfect way to keep your body staying fresh all winter. If […]

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, with a chill in the air and the holidays right around the corner. For some people, the winter holidays can be stressful. Whether it’s getting all the right gifts, cooking enough for the whole family, making plans or decorating, it can add up! If your to-do list is weighing on you, we’ve got some helpful tips for managing stress and ways to reverse its effects on your body. The International Stress Management Association (ISMA) has declared Wednesday, November 1st as International Stress Awareness Day. The organization celebrates today to encourage a more open dialogue about stress, including how it happens, the harmful effects on mental health, and helpful ways to manage it.

Breasts are an aspect of a woman’s physique that often affects her self-esteem, confidence and concept of self. Breast surgery provides an avenue for volume changes, reshaping, and overall breast rejuvenation. Choosing to undergo breast area cosmetic surgery is a very heavily thought-out decision. We understand how much faith and trust you put in your surgeon to keep you healthy and achieve the results you agreed on. Unfortunately, women do not always get the procedure results they desire. If you’ve had a breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction in the past and are no longer satisfied with the results, breast revision surgery can help you get the results you were originally hoping for. Breast revision surgery can be used to refresh the results of a previous procedure, to correct a breast procedure complication, or to improve undesirable results achieved by another surgeon. Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (Strattice™ TM) is an option for women whose breast augmentation results have become dissatisfying. It can be useful when addressing common challenges such as capsular contracture, malposition, wrinkling or rippling and symmastia. Strattice™ TM is a surgical mesh that is derived from porcine skin and is processed and preserved in a patented […]

The temperature is slowly dropping and fall is here, which means cold mornings, hot cocoa and lots of leaves. While we enjoy the fall weather, cooler temperatures can also mean dealing with pesky colds and other cold weather ailments. If you struggle with sinus problems in the winter, we’re sharing some ways to help alleviate those issues . First and foremost, staying hydrated and moisturized will help decrease fluid buildup in your sinuses and keep your skin from drying out in the cold. If you’re suffering from more severe breathing problems, a rhinoplasty procedure could be your answer. Although the procedure cannot cure your sinus issues, it can help open airways and aid breathing problems caused by nose structure. Rhinoplasty is a highly beneficial procedure for solving the breathing problems we mentioned, along with addressing any dissatisfaction you may have with the shape, size, or other aspects of your nose. We perform both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ rhinoplasty procedures, with the distinction being whether the incision is made on the outside or inside of the nose. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the strip of tissue separating your nostrils. This technique allows for the greatest […]

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign raising awareness about the disease. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. It is vital to stay knowledgeable and vigilant about your self-examinations and mammograms. This will strengthen the possibility of early detection in the case that you do develop the disease. For more information about signs and symptoms, please visit the American Cancer Society’s website. For women that are diagnosed, a mastectomy, partial mastectomy or lumpectomy can stop the progression of the cancerous cells and often save lives. While it is a life-saving procedure, it can drastically alter your self-image and unfortunately, may cause you to feel less feminine. This can result in a lack of self-confidence. It is with this in mind that Congress passed the Federal Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, a federal law requiring most group insurance plans to cover breast reconstruction if they already cover mastectomies. Breast reconstruction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can recreate the shape and appearance of natural breasts. Depending on the size of the tumor removed and other unique factors of the patient’s anatomy, we may recommend […]

If you are considering a breast augmentation, one of the most important decisions you will need to make is the type of breast implant that will best suit your unique cosmetic goals. We offer both silicone and saline breast implants, and are eager to help you make the right choice. Typically, we suggest silicone implants for anyone interested in a breast augmentation. Due to the way they are made, silicone implants typically have a more natural look and feel, a lesser chance of containing imperfections such as rippling or wrinkling, a lower risk of skin stretching and are generally suitable for women with little breast tissue to cover the implant. The main drawback of the silicone implants is that they are only FDA approved for women ages 22 and older. The outer shells of all breast implants are made from silicone, but silicone breast implants are also filled with silicone gel. Silicone implants arrive at our office pre-filled by the manufacturer and inserted during the procedure that way, meaning larger incisions are required to accommodate the placement of this type of breast implant. If a silicone breast implant ruptures, the leak may be difficult to detect. Silicone implants […]

Lip plumping has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available today. Unfortunately in the past, the procedure has been recognized more for producing animated results. It’s all too common to see celebrities sporting unnaturally large lips and an almost cartoonish pout. Lip plumping injections should be a quick and easy procedure for patients, providing naturally enhancing results. With a surgeon you trust, it’s worry-free and features no recovery time. For our lip plumping patients, we discuss the different options and agree together on the aesthetic goals to ensure beautiful, natural results. The options include facial injectables like Juvederm™, Restylane® and Restylane® Silk, along with injections of fat from other areas on the patient’s body. Each option has its unique benefits. Juvederm™ is one of the most popular facial injectables available. Juvederm is infused with lidocaine, an anesthetic that provides for greater comfort at the injection site for an easy and relaxed cosmetic surgery experience. Restylane® and Restylane® Silk are clear gel formulations made with a sugar that is naturally present in your skin. The unique gel formula helps create softer, more precise results. Natural fat can be harvested from other areas on your body and prepared for lip […]

So many of us struggle with fat under the chin. It’s a common worry and one of the most frustrating struggles one can have about their body. Thankfully, there are multiple options to choose from when it comes to addressing this area. We offer three different treatments that specialize in removing fat under the chin, leaving you looking and feeling rejuvenated. If you’re interested in a double chin treatment, we want to help you make the right decision for your unique needs. Considered the most well-known of the treatment options, KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA approved injectable treatment to reduce fat under the chin. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the problem area beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness under the chin. Once eliminated, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so there is little to no chance of regaining that double chin appearance. Check out the amazing results one our patients had from her KYBELLA® treatment! KYBELLA® is a relatively new procedure, […]

Patients commonly come to us to address wrinkles and creases around their face. Usually, patients are familiar with the results of injectables, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, however, many think that is the only solution for treating their wrinkles. While facial injectables are highly successful at eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, there are a few more comprehensive treatments that may be more viable options. A facelift is a very common procedure, but the lesser known brow lift is equally, if not more, effective for rejuvenating creases and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Commonly known as a “forehead lift,” a brow lift can be utilized to address deep lines and creases across the forehead, wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, and droopy or sagging eyebrows. A brow lift can be performed alone to address these problems or combined with other procedure like eyelid surgery or facial injectables to create a firmer, wrinkle-free appearance. There are two methods to choose from when performing a brow lift procedure. We offer both traditional and endoscopic brow lifts and can tailor your surgery to meet your exact needs, depending on your facial structure and aesthetic goals. Typically, an endoscopic brow lift is preferable […]

Breast reduction is a common procedure for women suffering from discomfort or back pain caused by overly large breasts. For those patients, the procedure can create a more proportionate figure and make everyday life much more comfortable. We offer a similar breast reduction procedure for male patients to remove excess fat and tissue from the pectoral area. This is commonly found in males dealing with a condition called gynecomastia. The term gynecomastia actually refers to the abnormal increase in the size of male breast tissue. As a man dissatisfied with the presence of male breasts, you may be feeling out of place in your body or overly self-conscious. It can be an embarrassing and awkward experience for many men, and can be brought about by factors as diverse as age, weight fluctuations, genetics, and the use of certain medications. For those that may be affected by this condition, we want to help inform you about the treatments and solutions available to help remedy the situation.The procedure can be tailored to fit your unique body type and achieve your aesthetic goals. Typically, we’ll make a small incision and use liposuction to easily remove excess tissue or fat. If the […]

Breasts are an aspect of a woman’s physique that often affects her self-esteem, confidence and concept of self. We know that the decision to have a breast augmentation is usually a life-changing choice. If you’ve decided on this procedure, it’s important to find a Board Certified plastic surgeon that you trust in order to have the best idea possible of what you want to achieve aesthetically and what you can expect. It’s helpful to know the options for types of implants, implant placement and implant size so you can choose the style that best suits your unique wants and needs. We have helpful blogs discussing the different types of implants and implant placement options if you’re interested to do more research before your consultation. We’d love to show you all of the options and help choose the right one for you. In addition to implant types and placement options, a significant factor in the process is determining your desired implant size. How do you decide what size implant is best for you? Is bigger always better? The answers will depend on your anatomy and goals, but having a clear idea of how big you want to go before […]

So many of us stress about excess fat sticking around our abdominal area but there are many possibilities when it comes to fat removal procedures. We want to help you make the best choice to fit your needs. A tummy tuck is perfect for those looking to remove that excess or sagging skin around the stomach area along with leftover stubborn fat. The procedure is one of our body contouring options used to tighten abdominal muscles that have been weakened or separated, restoring a firmer, smoother midsection. With all tummy tucks, only necessary incisions are made to help reduce scarring while still providing beautiful results. There are other options to further reduce scarring, including a mini-tummy tuck in which only the bottom half of your abdomen is addressed or an umbilical float tummy tuck where an incision is not made around your belly button. To learn more about these tummy tuck options, please visit our blog or give us a call! If removing loose skin isn’t a factor in your decision, liposuction is the best option for fat removal. Liposuction is great for people who need spot treatment, whether around the abdomen, hips, or even thighs to remove […]

Many of us deal with excess fat and skin around the abdominal area. Diet and exercise go a long way, but sometimes not far enough. While we do offer many different procedure options that focus on this area, often the best choice is overlooked. Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck is often used following significant weight loss or pregnancy, but can also be effective for anyone that has loose skin and stubborn fat around the abdominal area. The procedure can help tighten abdominal muscles that have been weakened or separated, restoring a firmer, smoother and more appealing midsection. We offer each patient customized variations of the tummy tuck to address individual and unique needs. Patients who are only looking for fat and excess skin removal below the bikini line, but still have tight upper abdominal muscles should consider the mini tummy tuck procedure. Typical patients for a mini tummy tuck include first time mothers, or those who regularly exercise and maintain a fit physique, but are struggling with that stubborn lower abdominal pooch. This is the least aggressive kind of tummy tuck procedure, with an incision made right above the pubic area to easily remove fat […]

Breasts are an aspect of a woman’s physique that often affect self-esteem, confidence and concept of self. Depending on your aesthetic desires, breast surgery provides an avenue for volume changes, reshaping, and overall breast rejuvenation. We’re all familiar with breast augmentation, but sometimes the best choice is a procedure known as a breast lift. A breast lift, technically called mastopexy, is performed by removing excess breast tissue and raising the breast to provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance. A breast lift procedure is used to reposition or lift the breasts for a more youthful, flattering feminine figure. Your nipple may be repositioned to a higher location and excess areolar skin may also be removed. A breast lift can be performed on its own, or combined with an augmentation depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals. Breast lift surgery can be a solution for any woman who is unhappy with their breasts or dealing with uncomfortable sagging or drooping. Breasts can sag due to numerous factors including aging, weight loss, pregnancy and heredity. A breast lift can rejuvenate your breast appearance, restoring a youthful and appealing profile and breast shape. An ideal candidate should not smoke, be in generally good health, be […]

Following treatment, you may experience some swelling and bruising under your chin, but should be able to resume regular activities very quickly. We will work together to determine the perfect KYBELLA® treatment for you, depending on your chin profile and desired results. Treatments are often given one month apart with a maximum of six treatments per patient.

We know you typically hear about BOTOX® and other facial injectables in relation to women. We’re here to tell you that facial injectables are for men too! The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) found that just last year, male patients made up eight percent of all cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures, including facial injectables. In 2016, men accounted for seven percent of patients choosing soft tissue fillers using calcium hydroxylapatite, like Radiesse®. Even more impressive, 16 percent of patients choosing injectables of polylactic acid, i.e. Sculptra® were males. Facial injectables can be used in a variety of different areas on the body to plump, rejuvenate, and refresh skin for a more youthful appearance. We offer many different types of facial injectables, and they all have unique advantages for different uses. There’s something for everybody!

There’s even an injectable that’s specially infused with lidocaine to make the injection process less painful. With so many options, we can certainly find the right one for you!

We want to help you survive the summer with our miracle procedure, miraDry. One in five people suffer from excessive sweating/perspiration, otherwise known as a condition called hyperhidrosis.

Studies have shown that after the procedure, perspiration can be reduced by at least 82%. This procedure can be life changing and a perfect way to survive the next few months of summer.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure in which excess skin and tissue around your eyelids is removed to provide you with a refreshed, youthful appearance. Patients choose eyelid surgery for a number of reasons. Some seek to correct heavy fat deposits that are causing eyelids to droop, remove excess tissue or bags underneath the eyes that leave a puffy appearance, or eliminate excess skin or folds that surround the eyes. Blepharoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries today. It has ranked among the top five most popular procedures in the country for over 15 years. Eyelid surgery follows behind breast augmentation, liposuction, and rhinoplasty, coming in fourth ahead of facelift procedures. It’s a favorite among male patients as well, as they make up fifteen percent of blepharoplasty patients. It’s also common for patients to choose to combine blepharoplasty procedures with brow lifts to achieve more significant results. Commonly known as a “forehead lift,” a brow lift addresses deep lines and creases across the forehead, wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, and droopy or sagging eyebrows. We can work with you individually to tailor your procedure to address multiple areas so that we achieve […]

Schools out for the summer! This time of year proves to be a popular one for those enjoying summer break to undergo procedures, leaving plenty of time for full recovery. In fact, cosmetic surgery for teens may seem unheard of, but it’s more common than you may think. Previous studies from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show patients ages 13-19 accounting for 4% of all cosmetic surgery procedures in 2015. Parents, along with their teens, commonly seek cosmetic surgery to address prominent facial features that may be negatively affecting their quality of life. For example, ear surgery, also known as ear pinning or otoplasty, is a common procedure among younger patients, utilized to address overly-large or disproportionate ears. This procedure involves permanent stitches being placed in the natural folds behind the ears to “pin” them in a new position. These stitches are well hidden and should not be noticeable to anyone, nor should they result in any discomfort after the initial healing period. In most cases, discomfort will subside within one to two weeks, allowing patients to enjoy the rest of their summer comfortably. Because of the permanence of this procedure, any growth in child patients will not impact […]

According to Healthfinder.gov, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Skin cancer is caused by overexposure to UV radiation, either from the sun or sun lamps like those found in tanning booths. The most dangerous kind of skin cancer is called melanoma. According to the Melanoma Research Alliance, rates of melanoma are rising rapidly even though cancer rates for other common cancers are declining. Fortunately, skin cancer can almost always be cured when it’s found and treated early. For the month of May, the Melanoma Research Alliance is promoting safe skin health and encouraging everyone to learn more about melanoma prevention. As we start another scorching summer in Georgia, it’s crucial to keep in mind the dangers of sun exposure. These tips will help you feel safe in the sun so you can enjoy the rays without worry this summer: Wear sunscreen everyday.

Liposuction continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures available, ranking in the top 5 most performed procedures for the fifteenth year in a row according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The basic purpose of Liposuction, also known as Lipoplasty, is to get rid of the stubborn fatty deposits that are present in various parts of your body. We know that sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, it seems impossible to eradicate little areas of body fat. Unwanted fat deposits typically persist in areas such as your stomach, thighs, hips and buttocks. Liposuction can help remove those stubborn fat deposits with ease. In fact, just about any area of your body with excess fat can be treated with this procedure. Other popular but rarely mentioned areas where liposuction can be utilized include the neck, chin, chest, back and upper arm area. A little liposuction can help remove the stubborn double chin that just won’t go away or the frustrating arm overhang that you can’t shake. It doesn’t have to be a big multi-area treatment. We utilize three main types of liposuction to perform the procedure for our patients. […]

Spring weather is here! While we welcome the beautiful flowers and sunny skies, we also have to welcome the bane of springtime in Atlanta…pollen. We don’t want you struggling with puffy eyes and a runny nose during the prettiest weeks of the year, so we’re sharing some ways to minimize your symptoms. First and foremost, staying hydrated will help decrease fluid buildup in your sinuses. If the sinus symptoms are strong, you might want to look into an over the counter allergy medication, or try to limit your outside activities to minimize exposure. If none of these quick fixes seem to work and your breathing problems persist, a rhinoplasty procedure could be your answer. Although the procedure cannot cure your allergies, it can open airways and aid breathing problems caused by nose structure. Rhinoplasty is a highly beneficial procedure for solving the breathing problems we mentioned, along with addressing any dissatisfaction you may have with the shape, size, or other aspects of your nose. We perform both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ rhinoplasty procedures, with the distinction being whether the incision is made on the outside or inside of the nose. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the strip […]

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released their official 2016 statistics earlier this month, and the stats revealed some very strong trends in the cosmetic surgery industry. We were excited to learn that fat injectables were one of the most popular minimally-invasive procedures performed last year, increasing 13 percent since 2015. This includes injectables using natural fat harvested from the patient, like our very popular Viafill™ Fat Transfer procedure. Viafill™ fat injections can help fill and shape your face by specializing in target areas to provide a plumped, refreshed and more youthful appearance. Target areas can include: frown and laugh lines nasolabial folds sunken cheeks crow’s feet wrinkles in between the eyes forehead furrows and creases With this advanced system, fat is harvested from an inconspicuous area on your body and transferred to your face to fill in wrinkles or plump cheeks to produce a naturally refreshed appearance. Fat transfer has the advantage of potentially permanent results because the fat can “take root” in its new environment. The relocated fat can set securely in its new home to provide long-lasting results. Recovery for the fat transfer procedure is slightly more involved than other prepared facial injectables, so results can […]

With the constant rise and fall of Georgia temperatures, it’s really anyone’s guess as to what the weather will be like on a daily basis from November to February. While part of us can’t wait for the temperatures to rise, we know there are some worried about the warmer days ahead. If you’re dreading the heat already, we understand your pain. It’s miserable to be hot all the time, especially if you’re not only hot but sweaty as well. When the temperature rises, your body can heat up, causing an increased production of sweat. In fact, one in five people suffer from an excessive sweating/perspiration condition called hyperhidrosis. So if you’ve been caught drying your pits in the bathroom or changing your shirt several times because you’ve sweat through each one, we’re here to help you!

While some of us are anxiously awaiting the warmer weather, others are already nervous for swimsuit season. If the thought of a bikini stresses you out, we’re here to help. We offer multiple procedures that can be combined or customized to perfectly address your concerns. Here are a few of our most popular swimsuit-prep procedures: Breast Augmentation: The appearance and size of your breasts can affect your confidence, especially when wearing a bathing suit. Breast augmentation can enhance your feminine figure, giving you boosted confidence and self esteem. During your consultation, we can carefully assess your physical characteristics and aesthetic goals to help you achieve a natural, youthful appearance. Buttock Augmentation: Like a breast augmentation, a buttock augmentation (or butt lift) can enhance your feminine figure and significantly improve your self confidence. We use the Brazilian butt lift technique in order to deliver a firmer, fuller, better-defined butt with high levels of safety and an easy recovery. Liposuction: This technique is a wonderful way to remove a significant amount of fat from several areas of your body, eliminating any worry spots that might be keeping you from feeling your best in a bathing suit.

We’ve got a new treatment to offer at the office! We’re introducing the newest, best technique on the market for laser skin resurfacing, the Deka DOT laser. This laser produces youthful, refreshed results with a shorter recovery time thanks to the special SmartXide DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) pattern technique. The Deka DOT laser is a pioneer in laser resurfacing technology. The laser utilizes a ‘dot’ pattern to create thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin while leaving the areas around each ‘dot’ intact. This allows for the skin to heal faster between and around the tiny ‘dots.’ The procedure is safer, quicker, and more efficient than previous CO2 lasers. The impact left by the DOT is not as deep as other lasers, eliminating the chance for bruising or damage. Additionally, the technology allows for independent control of both the laser strength and dwell time, so we can tailor the treatment and recovery time to your unique needs. The in-office appointment is quick, usually just twenty minutes for an entire face area treatment. After the procedure, your skin may show signs of redness and peeling for a few days, as the new, fresher skin appears. Typically, you’ll be able […]

Breast augmentation involves increasing the size of the breasts to create a fuller, more symmetrical and balanced appearance. This procedure is a wonderful way to enhance your femininity and boost your self-esteem. Breast augmentation has become the most popular cosmetic procedure on the market, but there are several misconceptions associated with the procedure that we’d like to set straight! “Breast augmentation results don’t look natural.” No way! Based on your unique anatomy, age, and other physical considerations, we will work directly with you to determine the options for your surgery that will best meet your aesthetic goals and provide a beautifully natural appearance. 2. “A breast augmentation is the same thing as a breast lift.” Not quite. In some cases, we do combine the two procedures depending on the patient’s specific circumstances, but they are two different procedures. A breast lift procedure involves lifting the already present breast tissue and re-contouring it to provide a firmer, more youthful appearance. The nipple is then re-positioned into a higher location and, when necessary, excess areola skin is removed to further rejuvenate breast appearance. This can be a stand-alone procedure or combined with an augmentation with the addition of implants. […]

February is National Heart Month. The American Heart Association(AHA) is raising awareness this month with their Go Red for Women campaign. It’s important to practice heart health, because heart disease is the number one killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every minute! According to the AHA, heart disease affects women of all ages and body types, so it’s important to stay vigilant. The best thing you can do is practice a healthy lifestyle, so we’ve got some helpful tips on how to focus on your heart health. Know your risk. The American Heart Association has a helpful checklist to examine your lifestyle and asses your risk for heart disease. Schedule a check-up. Your regular physician can measure your blood pressure and cholesterol to get a better grasp on your condition. Get moving! If you’re inside at work all day, take periodic breaks to walk a lap around the office or take a lap around the block when you get home. The AHA recommends at least 40 minutes of strenuous activity per day. Exercising can help you lose weight and lessen the strain on your heart. Cut back on foods high in fat, […]

We all know it’s important to make a good impression, and sometimes your appearance is the best chance you get to show someone who you are. Your appearance can begin to change as you age. Some of these changes can compliment your look, while others can leave you feeling uncomfortable or beyond your years. We want you to feel your most beautiful so you can make the best impression on the world. A great way to revitalize your appearance and enhance your natural beauty is with a facelift. The procedure eliminates the appearance of drooping facial features and loose neck bands, leaving you looking refreshed and youthful. We offer two types of facelift procedures, the SMAS facelift and the MACS facelift. The two types differ in technique, but can be customized to address a number of concerns including saggy skin around the neck, excess fat throughout the lower face and creases along the nose and mouth. The SMAS procedure involves lifting the layer of tissue under your skin (the SMAS layer) to eliminate any sagging in the face and neck. The MACS technique uses small, disguisable incisions to improve mild jowls and sagginess of the neck. The technique used for […]

Many people believe that cosmetic surgery is only for women, but we’re here to tell you that there are many popular procedures specialized for men. Typically, the most talked about procedure relating to male patients is male breast reduction. This procedure is used as treatment for a condition called gynecomastia. Gynecomastia refers to a condition common among males, where there is an abnormal increase in the size of male breast tissue. It can be an embarrassing and awkward experience for many men, and can be brought about by factors as diverse as age, weight fluctuations, genetics, and the use of certain medications. For those that may be affected by this condition, we want to help inform you about the treatments and solutions for fixing gynecomastia. Please call our office today to discuss your options! Although it may be the most commonly known procedure relating to men, male breast reduction is actually the third most common cosmetic surgery performed for men according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Other cosmetic surgeries popular among male patients are nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, and even liposuction. Male patients account for a quarter of all nose reshaping procedures and 15 percent of all eyelid […]

The start of a new year is an exciting time to make positive changes to your routine or lifestyle. While this can be considered a stressful time as we are wrapping up the holiday season, we believe in setting small goals that will help you look and feel better not only now but year round. Something as simple as drinking one bottle of water when you wake up each morning can help your health and well-being tremendously. It also helps to make changes that you will enjoy as well, such as finding a new fun way to exercise or volunteering for your community. In fact, the month of January is National Blood Donor Month. The American Red Cross can help you find a location near you to do your part. It’s an easy way to help others with little to no inconvenience. Easy, enjoyable things like that can make a significant impact in your life, giving you boosted self-esteem and a more positive attitude.

Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday celebration. With the start of a new year comes a time to reflect as we’re provided a clean start to the next chapter. We can look back on the past year and learn from what we know now. It’s interesting to see what was really popular or not so hot and note how those trends impacted the plastic surgery industry. In exploring trends across mainstream media, we noted the prevalence of coverage focusing on women’s rear ends. It seems obvious that society has come to favor a larger, curvier back side, and we see that more so in statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Procedures related to butts, including buttock augmentations and buttock lifts, were the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures in the United States in 2015, and we look forward to seeing how that growth continued with the strong media attention of 2016. To learn more about the popular procedure, we’ve got some brief information on the backside-related procedures we offer. Buttock augmentation, technically named gluteoplasty, is a body contouring procedure performed to provide additional fullness and definition to your buttocks region. Separately, a butt lift […]

In a few short days, 2016 will finally be over, and we will get a chance to start fresh with a new year. A lot of people make New Year’s resolutions, or vow to make a change come January 1st. The new year can be a great source of motivation for those needing a fresh new start to their routine. It’s important to start with manageable, small changes that you can easily incorporate into your lifestyle. For example, drinking more water, trying a new veggie, and taking the stairs are simple, trusted tricks to start you on the path to a healthier routine. Minor changes like these can improve your mood and give you the motivation you need to make larger improvements. You can then take bigger steps involving nutrition and exercises. These choices can benefit multiple aspects of your life including your attitude, outlook, appearance and self-image. For the stubborn areas that the above adjustments can’t fix, we offer a variety of surgical and non-invasive procedures that can help to enhance your natural beauty. If your dedication to a healthier lifestyle extends to changes like cosmetic procedures, we’re eager to help you along the way. If you may be […]

In the world of plastic surgery, it’s typically the major procedures that make news or get people’s attention. While surgeries like liposuction, tummy tucks, or butt augmentations are very popular and can leave a lasting impression, we think it’s important to remember the smaller procedures that can make just as great of an impact. Sometimes it can be the more area-specific procedures that produce the most significant results, such as eyelid or ear surgeries. Features on your face are the first things people notice about you, and can make a strong impression. If anything about your facial appearance isn’t exactly as you’d like it to be, we offer simple procedures that focus on achieving your aesthetic desires, featuring minor changes and yielding a major impact. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure in which excess skin and tissue around your eyelids is removed to provide you with a refreshed, youthful appearance. Men and women alike choose eyelid surgery to help correct heavy fat deposits that are causing eyelid droop, excess tissue or bags underneath the eyes that leave a puffy or sagging appearance, and excess skin or folds that surround the eyes. Ear surgery, also known as […]

Christmas and New Years are right around the corner. We know you’ve got a million things to do before now and then, but it’s important to take care of yourself while you work to take care of everything (and everyone) else. We’ve got some easy ways you can make time for yourself during this busy season! 1. Keep a travel-size lotion in your purse. The cold weather is brutal on your skin, so it’s important to stay moisturized on the go! Also, it is cold and flu season, so grab a hand sanitizer to put in there too. 2. Sleep with a humidifier. We’re dealing with a serious drought in the south, and the cold weather doesn’t help! Sleeping with a humidifier takes no extra time and leaves moisture in the air for your skin, hair, and throat. Hydrated = healthy = happy. 3. Pop a (sugar-free) peppermint. Not only is it festive for the season, but mint is also an appetite suppressant that can help curb your cravings. If you’re baking away in the kitchen and tempted to taste all of the treats, popping a peppermint can help you step away from the cookies! 3. Stop in for a […]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! As we spend tomorrow surrounded by precious loved ones and delicious food, we take the time to appreciate all of our blessings. It’s important to come together and be thankful for all that we have, and we’re thankful for you! It is our greatest joy to be a part of changing our patients’ lives for the better. We’ve been so lucky to be a part of our patients’ journeys to help them on the path of being a happier and healthier version of themselves. For example, this patient came to us unsatisfied with the shape and appearance of his nose. During consultations, we worked with him to understand his desired results and planned how to achieve them with a rhinoplasty procedure. Changes to the face are so impactful and it was amazing to see his happiness at his new appearance. Sometimes patients come to us seeking smaller scale changes, and it’s amazing to see what a difference a minor change can make. All of these amazing results came from different non-surgical injectable procedures. There are many unique options when it comes to injectables, and we love working with each patient to find the best […]

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and we’d like to take the time to recognize those living with the disease. According to the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and the type typically found in adults. Once diagnosed, there are many steps in order to adjust to living a life with diabetes. These steps include carefully choosing what, how much and when to eat, getting active, and losing weight to lower your blood sugar. Yesterday was also National Healthy Lunch Day, which reminds individuals to make healthy choices at lunchtime in hopes it will encourage small improvements in your lifestyle. A nutritious diet is key to living a healthy lifestyle and controlling your diabetes. Additionally, when you have diabetes, being overweight or obese increases your risk for complications. Losing just a few pounds through exercise and eating well can help with your diabetes control and can reduce your risk for other health problems. Losing weight in a healthy way and keeping the weight off are two of the best things […]

November is infamous for its hair-related celebrations, as you may be familiar with ‘Movember,’ or the other commonly practiced, ‘No Shave November.’ ‘Movember’ highlights the practice of men growing mustaches in the month of November to raise awareness for men’s health. For women, ‘No Shave November’ usually means that you can stop shaving now since it’s cold enough to wear long sleeves and pants. But if the long clothes and heavy layers have you stressing, we’d like to help you celebrate ‘No Sweat November’! Maybe your heavy winter coat keeps you too warm indoors or the heater has got you working up a sweat at your desk. You can celebrate ‘No Sweat November’ with our miraDry service, a safe permanent solution for excessive perspiration. One in five people suffer from an excessive sweating/perspiration condition called hyperhidrosis. This can lead to discomfort and embarrassment, especially for those who suffer from drenched filled clothes due to this condition. The noninvasive procedure uses a microwave radiation laser to eradicate the sweat glands located in the armpits, reducing perspiration in the body. Studies have shown that after the procedure has been performed, perspiration was reduced by at least 82%. This procedure […]

This Sunday, we “fall back” and turn our clocks back an hour for the end of Daylight Savings Time. We’re happy to “turn back the clock” on your skin, as many of our facial cosmetic procedures offer results that will leave you looking and feeling younger.

Whether you’re worried about crow’s feet, wrinkles near your eyes, or smile lines around your mouth, we can find the right facial injectable for your unique situation.

Who doesn’t love to get dressed up and indulge in sweet treats every October? The kids get done up in their cutest costumes and you’re just trying to ensure they don’t consume their body weight in sugar in one night. Kids are quite resilient when it comes to their diet habits, but you might not have the luxury of eating 10 lollipops in a night. Eating too much sugar is torture on your skin and your attitude. A sugar heavy-diet causes acne, sleeping problems, and feelings of crankiness and tiredness.The best thing to do on special occasions like this is to enjoy in moderation. Portion control and plenty of water will help lessen the negative effects, but if you’re still struggling with diet related skin-issues, we offer skin treatments that may be able to help. Our Laser Skin Resurfacing procedures can address common skin conditions such as wrinkles and lines, acne and wound scars, sun and age spots, discoloration and pigmentation. We offer two types of Laser Skin Resurfacing techniques to quickly and effectively remove these imperfections from nearly any part of your body and provide you with the clear, youthful, refreshed look you desire.

When you’re in a quiet room, do you worry that the person next to you can hear your breathing? If you think people may focus more on your sniffles than what you’re saying, you may have sinus trouble that can be fixed with a rhinoplasty procedure. Rhinoplasty can be utilized to solve medical or breathing problems or address any dissatisfaction you may have with the shape, size, or other aspects of your nose. As a dominant facial feature, even small modifications to your nose can greatly improve your facial symmetry and profile. You are most likely a nose surgery candidate if you are dissatisfied with any of these characteristics: Large nose size Small nose size Nose that is too wide or narrow Bulbous nose tip Upturned or downturned nose tip Large nostrils Hump in the nose bridge Slope of the nose bridge Asymmetrical or crooked nose shape Breathing problems related to nose structure Rhinoplasty is completed either as an “open” or “closed” procedure. In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the strip of tissue separating your nostrils, and we take every care to hide the incision in the already existing, natural creases of your nose.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual campaign to increase awareness about the disease. According to the NBCF, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. It is vital to stay knowledgeable and vigilant about your self-examinations and mammograms. This will give you peace of mind and also allow for early detection in the case that you do develop the disease. For more information about early detection, you can visit the NBCF website. For women that receive the diagnosis, a mastectomy, partial mastectomy or lumpectomy can stop the progression of cancer and often save lives. While it is a life-saving procedure, it can drastically alter your self-image and may, unfortunately, cause you to feel less feminine, resulting in a lack of self-confidence. It is with this in mind that Congress passed the Federal Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, requiring insurance to pay for breast reconstruction following cancer removal. For survivors looking to restore their previous feminine figure, breast reconstruction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can recreate the shape and appearance of natural breasts. Depending on the size of the tumor removed and other unique factors of […]
