Meet Atlanta, Georgia Plastic Surgeon John LeRoy, MD

Making A Difference Through Plastic Surgery

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:45AM in Breast Procedures, Video Transcripts

You know plastic surgery is always a very positive experience. The things that I have always seen from patients when they talk about how does this help me and we follow all of our patients in three and six months, just to find out and make sure everybody is happy because we do really believe that if you look better, you can feel better. One of the stories that I would like to relate in a lady who had a breast augmentation. She said, “You know, I used to go by the mirror and it wasn’t really a big problem, it was like taking a penny out of a bank and then I had the breast augmentation and it was like putting a penny back in the bank. One less thing to worry about, it did not change my life. It is not a gigantic thing but it makes me feel better everyday.”

Patient Consultations

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:44AM in Video Transcripts, Why Us?

Usually the first consultation, the patient comes in, they have already talked to the staff for a good length of time and have found out most of the information, so when they come in they are pretty well informed about the procedure they want. Main thing to get across in the first consultation is about the expectations of the patient. We can match up our expectations about what I can achieve and what they really want and we are going to have a happy patient before and after surgery.

Our Plastic Cosmetic Surgery Practice Philosophy

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:42AM in Video Transcripts, Why Us?

The philosophy here in our practice has always been from the very beginning is that we can make people look and feel better. Women are very sensitive into the way they look and some people take advantage of it. But what you will find out, men are slowly coming around in it, is that it really matters how you look and as to how you feel when you tie those two together, so if you take out in the mind and you are very sensitive to that and then you do a very good job with the plastic surgery and you have patients who are not only happy before surgery but incredibly happy after surgery.

Plastic Surgeon Atlanta Georgia

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:38AM in Video Transcripts

The thing always set us apart from other practices is that here in Atlanta you do have to be friendly, you have to be straightforward, you have to be honest, but you also have to have the credentials that go with it. In terms of putting in time and effort into education that could not be questioned that was the ability part. The other part is the affability and the being available and I think the patients see us as being very available and very friendly in taking care of all their problems in a very timely manner. They have also told me time and time again that they love the staff because they are a big help, incredible help, and always make me look good because my job is to make the patient look good and feel better.

Atlanta Georgia Breast Face Body Cosmetic Surgery

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:36AM in Video Transcripts

The focus of our practice here in Atlanta, Georgia is cosmetic plastic surgery, which is specifically aesthetic surgery. Those are areas that help people look and feel better. With the face, there would be a facelift and eyelid surgery, otoplasty, which would be pinning of the ears or nose surgery, which is a rhinoplasty. In terms of the breast, it would be breast reduction, breast lifts, and breast augmentations. In terms of body, it would be liposuction and abdominoplasty, which is a tummy tuck, pretty much any surgery which helps you look and feel better. Also BOTOX® and the fillers, everything which sort of polishes off and gives that finished look.

Board Certified Plastic Surgery Atlanta

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:30AM in Video Transcripts

When I first started it, plastic surgery needs a lot of patience. So, the patients would ask me why did you go into plastic surgery and I really could not come up with a good answer, it took me a while to kind of pinpoint what it was and it was a delight helping people but I would also like seeing the results of my work. I became Board Certified in General Surgery and Board Certified in Plastic surgery and then I went to New York and did an extra year of just cosmetic plastic surgery with the best plastic surgeons for cosmetic surgery in the United States if not in the world. How hard I am willing to work. How much I am willing to put into taking care of the patients and establishing relationship with them and to make them feel comfortable because I did my work on the front end and then if I would continue to do that hard work after that then the patients would see that all that time that I have put into it was worth because they would see it in the final result.

History of Our Practice

Posted on October 30, 2008 8:26AM in About Our Practice, Video Transcripts

Practice started in 1997 and originally trained in New York City at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in 1992 and then moved here in 1997 where I began some reconstructive but mostly cosmetic surgery, and I specifically practice in cosmetic plastic surgery. We are located at St. Joseph’s Hospital, old campus because I was at St. Joseph’s when I came to Atlanta, Georgia. St. Joseph’s had a great reputation and I wanted to be affiliated with that and so far it has been excellent in terms of helping us out and being a real positive for the practice too.
