Popularity of Pre-College Cosmetic Surgery Increasing for Indian Students
Posted on August 16, 2010 1:16PM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Many of us reflect fondly upon memories of shopping for new school clothes at the beginning of a new school year. Our “new looks” gave us the opportunity to make the best first impression possible, to show off how we’d grown over the summer, how we were older and wiser and felt more important as we moved up the social totem pole each year at school. While most of us were satisfied with shiny new shoes, an article from the British periodical Guardian reveals that many soon-to-be college students in India are seeking plastic surgery, especially facial surgery, before they begin school. While it may sound outlandish, many of the surveyed students say they don’t pursue cosmetic surgery for vanity, but rather to optimize their ability to make a good first impression on their new peers and professors at college and optimize their networking potential.
The article’s contributing authors point to the country’s booming population and the lag in available jobs to explain the surge in cosmetic surgery interest. Most of the Indian teenage women surveyed are seeking facial cosmetic procedures such as: lip augmentation through dermal injections (Restylane® and Juvederm®), liposuction of a double chin, and surgery of the nose (rhinoplasty). The trend includes young Indian men too who seek male breast reduction (gynecomastia) most frequently.
While an advocate of enhancing self-esteem, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. John LeRoy urges patients to thoroughly examine their motives for surgery. Patients should recognize that their bodies still change and age after surgery and can alter their surgical results. Especially if a patient is college age, they may not be done growing and might increase their chances of having to pursue revisionary procedures if they have surgery too young. Therefore, it’s imperative that patients select experienced plastic surgeons that understand and maintain realistic surgical expectations.

Did You See Dr. LeRoy in Atlanta Magazine ?

Dr. LeRoy explains his originally developed Band Aid Facelift in the August issue of Atlanta Magazine.
The Importance of Patient-Centric Surgeons with Botox Injections like those of Reality Star Kate Gosselin
Posted on July 28, 2010 7:07AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Us Magazine readers and Gosselin gossipers have probably already seen the photos of Reality TV star and famed mom of sextuplets Kate Gosselin’s before and after images from her recently reported dermal injections to remedy facial wrinkles. The images capture Gosselin’s newly “super-arched” eyebrows, and have readers raising theirs at her dramatic appearance. Medical resources of the magazine speculate that Gosselin’s overly dramatic results can be attributed to her surgeons’ injection of the muscle relaxing Botox® or Dysport® in a “v” shape between her eyes to eliminate frown lines and the non-treatment of the muscles above the brows which have caused them to over-work.
Dr. John LeRoy, an experienced Atlanta plastic and cosmetic surgeon, urges potential facial rejuvenation patients to use Gosselin’s reported experience as a warning to avoid less experienced surgeons who might opt for a similar template driven surgical plan.
Regardless of the media coverage and speculations, Dr. LeRoy stresses to patients the importance of a thorough consultation in stating, “It is of upmost importance for potential facial rejuvenation patients to seek only those certified Plastic Surgeons who will invest in a quality consultation with their patients. Your surgeon needs to become acquainted with your specific needs. Even if you are receiving a small treatment like dermal injections of Botox® or Dysport®, it’s only those surgeons who make a point to observe your specific problem areas and the causes of those issues (repeated facial expressions in the case of forehead wrinkles) that deliver effective, natural looking rejuvenation results. “
In addition to minimally invasive dermal injections, Dr. John LeRoy has developed a series of “Band Aid” procedures to address facial aging which provide the added benefit of being performed in-office requiring only local anesthesia. If you are interested in pursuing a facial rejuvenation procedure contact Dr. John LeRoy’s office today or visit his website.

The Risks of Smoking and Plastic Surgery
Posted on July 19, 2010 8:54AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Recently featured on CNN was Susan Depiro, a self proclaimed smoker and breast augmentation patient. After warnings from her doctor, Susan decided to quit smoking 2 weeks prior to her cosmetic surgery procedure; but once the procedure was complete, she began smoking cigarettes again just days after surgery. The result? Susan ended up with necrosis, or an infection caused by the dying of the skin, under one of her new breasts.
While this is an extreme case, Susan’s case highlights the potential negative effects of smoking and surgery. Her necrosis was due to lack of circulation, a side effect of nicotine in the blood that can be devastating to surgical patients.
Knowing the negative effects of smoking and plastic surgery, Dr. John LeRoy insists that all of his cosmetic surgery patients quit smoking AT LEAST 2 to 4 weeks before and 2 to 4 weeks after their procedure. Smoking not only causes a lack of circulation, but can lead to problems with healing, increased scarring, and possible infections.

Plastic Surgery Trend: More and More Men Opting For Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Posted on June 15, 2010 10:39AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Most people agree that cosmetic surgery is more synonymous with women than with men, but the fairly recent trend of male plastic surgery procedures may disrupt that preconceived notion. Seventeen percent of men (according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) look at plastic and cosmetic surgery more favorably than they did 5 years ago – an indication that men are beginning to close the gender gap in the plastic surgery industry.
There is no question that there has been a decline in the number of plastic surgery procedures in recent years, due to the economy-dependent nature of the industry. But despite this fact, plastic surgeons everywhere, including Dr. John LeRoy, have been seeing a rise in the number of males coming into their practices and opting for cosmetic procedures.
According to a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the top five most popular cosmetic surgery procedures among men are liposuction, nose surgery (rhinoplasty), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), male breast reduction (gynecomastia), and hair transplantation.
There also remains a preconceived notion that cosmetic surgery is a luxury for those that have enough money to indulge. However, with industry advancements, plastic surgery has become more affordable than ever. In fact, the largest group of cosmetic surgery consumers is made up of middle class women. With the rising popularity of male cosmetic surgery, middle class men are also opting for more and more procedures – with “average” guys going in for procedures that, in the past, they would not have considered.
If you are a man considering plastic surgery, but have more questions, including expected cost and recovery time, contact Dr. LeRoy’s office today.
