Extension of Dysports Love it or Leave it Special
Posted on June 7, 2010 8:30AM in Current Specials, Dr. LeRoy's Blog
After well over 90% of patients choosing to “love it” in the Dysport® “Love it or Leave it Challenge”, the makers of the wrinkle removing product are choosing to extend the special until September 30, 2010!
If you missed Dr. LeRoy’s first blog about the challenge, here is how it works:
Patients who wish to try Dysport® can receive a $75 rebate on their first 300 unit injection. If they “Love it” they can follow steps on DysportUSA.com to receive an additional $75 rebate on their next Dysport® injection. If for some reason patients decide they are unhappy with the results, they can “Leave It” and can be treated with the competition product, Botox®.
Dysport® is a wrinkle removing injectable made with the purified toxin Botulinum. It works by relaxing facial muscles to reduce and remove existing wrinkles and furrows as well as prevent further wrinkling from forming.
To date, 49,000 patients have taken the challenge, and with over 90% choosing to love it – there really is nothing to lose! Contact the office of Dr. John Leroy and schedule your appointment to receive your first injection by September 30!

You Can’t Hide Those Aging Eyes: Dr. LeRoy reveals minimally invasive eye rejuvenation procedure
Posted on May 3, 2010 7:51AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Since developing the Band Aid Facelift in 1997, Dr. John LeRoy has mastered minimally invasive versions of several traditional plastic surgery procedures including: Band Aid Lipo, Band Aid Brow Lift, Band Aid Forehead lift, and now, Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). Popular for their ability to target and rejuvenate very specific areas of the face and neck through discreet incisions, LeRoy’s Band-Aid procedures provide instant results, shorter recovery time, and decreased cost compared to the traditional versions of the surgeries.
The goal of the Band-Aid Blepharoplasty procedure is subtlety. Like traditional eyelid surgery, Dr. LeRoy targets and removes pockets of excess fat and sagging skin that can appear on the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed look around the eyes. Unlike traditional eyelid surgery though, Dr. LeRoy performs the Band-Aid Blepharoplasty operation in the office, using only gentle numbing (local anesthesia).
While Band-Aid Blepharoplasty makes a great option for those patients just beginning to see the signs of eye-area aging, it is important to seek the professional opinion of a board certified Plastic Surgeon before electing a specific procedure. To schedule a consultation with Dr. LeRoy call his office or visit his website.

In the Hands of the Right Physician Every Step of the Way: The Importance of Getting What you Pay for When it Comes to Cosmetic Procedures
Posted on April 21, 2010 12:08PM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
When talking about the credentials of any reputable physician you often hear the names of prestigious medical universities and fellowships they attended, mentions of board and even double board certifications they earned, and the number of years they have been practicing in their particular field. But no matter how impressive a physician’s credentials are on paper, these credentials only really matter if you are dealing directly with that particular doctor and are not passed off to a nurse or physician’s assistant when it comes time for treatment.
You research and consciously sign up for a doctor so that you can be treated by that particular doctor, not a less qualified member of his/her staff. That is not to say that a staff cannot be incredibly qualified and supportive – but as a patient, you are paying for that particular doctor’s expertise.
You should clearly communicate your expectations during the initial consultation and ask your physician how much of your cosmetic treatment will be performed by him/her and how much will be performed by someone else.
At our practice, Dr. LeRoy does the consultation, performs each and every injection, and makes every incision during surgery – just like you pay for and expect from a professional physician.
The bottom line: a good doctor with good training and good technique is your best chance at a fantastic result; so make sure your treatment is performed by the doctor you signed up for.

Early Stages of Research On Cell-enriched Fat Grafting Shows Promise for Future Cosmetic and Reconstruction Surgery
Posted on April 12, 2010 7:58AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
A recent study published in Annals of Plastic Surgery, shows promise for the future of cell-enriched fat grating in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The article titled “Supplementation of Fat Grafts with Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) Improves Long-Term Graft Retention” compared the longevity and health of traditional fat grafting techniques versus fat grafting using ADRC cell-enriched grafts.
Traditionally, fat grafting is the process of using liposuction to remove excess fat, taking those fat cells and sterilizing them and then re-injecting those fat cells into other parts of the body, most commonly the face, lips, and buttocks. What this study did, in layperson terms, is enrich the removed fat cells with ADRC, and observed the effects and characteristics of these cells once re-injected.
The study found that cell retention was doubled when cell-enriched grafting was used over the traditional fat grafting controls. This is an important discovery for plastic and reconstructive surgery, because with current fat grafting techniques, some of the fat cells are naturally reabsorbed into the body, altering the initial results of the procedure. If cell retention is greater, then plastic and reconstructive surgeons can use fat grafting with more precision and yield more effective results.
The study also found that cell-enriched grafts were healthier and more functional – with an increased number of healthy fat cells, a lower number of dead cells, and less of a chance of cyst formation. Other observations included healthier and improved blood vessel density with enriched cells.
While cell-enriched fat grafting is still in the early stages of study, scientists are hopeful that this technology can be useful for reconstruction and cosmetic surgery patients in the future.

Breast Augmentation Complications and How Dr. John LeRoy Can Help
Posted on March 31, 2010 12:53PM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
In several blog posts, I’ve expressed the importance of having a board certified plastic surgeon performing any cosmetic procedure that you wish to undergo. Beside the fact that board certified physicians are more fully qualified to give you the best looking results possible, by choosing a certified cosmetic surgeon you run less of a risk of experiencing a surgical complication. While the word “complication” might be a scary subject and not the most desirable thing to discuss, patient education is of the utmost importance and everyone should be aware of the possible complications that can arise with breast augmentation surgery. Below is a description of some breast implant complications and information every woman should know if they are considering breast augmentation surgery.
Bottoming out
When a breast implant is too large or heavy, or is not supported by enough tissue, it may drop or fall too low on the chest. When this happens, the breasts have a saggy or droopy look and the nipple is repositioned too high on the breast. Bottoming out is less common for patients who have an excess of original skin and tissue in the breast area and for patients that position their implant under the chest muscle. To correct this complication, a traditional breast lift may be recommended or the surgeon may reposition scar tissue under the breast to create a new crease and move the breast up higher on the chest.
Capsule Contracture
Even in a successful breast augmentation surgery, your body forms a fibrous tissue lining around the implant as its natural response to a foreign object. A capsule contracture occurs however, when the naturally formed capsule contracts and tightens around the implant – resulting in a hard look and feel to the breast. This is the most common breast implant complication and can result in four different grades of severity, ranging from Baker Grade I to Baker Grade VI. Capsulectomy is the name of the revisionary procedure to remove the capsule.
Implant Rupture or Deflation
On rare occasions, an implant can rupture causing the implant solution to leak into the body. A rupture can occur anytime after surgery and can be caused by injury or trauma, a capsule contracture, or from wear and tear on the implant over time. Symptoms of ruptures can include breast lumps, swelling, and pain. Although sometimes there are no visible or physical symptoms, so regular MRI’s are needed to diagnose this problem.
Even if you received your breast implants at another practice, Dr. John LeRoy can perform revisionary breast surgery to correct these and other breast complications. If you have not experienced a complication, but are simply unhappy with the results received at another practice, Dr. LeRoy can consult with you on the best options to surgically correct aesthetic problems and ensure that you are happy with the look of your breasts.

Popular Medical Show ‘The Doctors’ Features Mini Facelift Technique Similar to Dr. LeRoy’s Band Aid Facelift
Posted on March 23, 2010 11:57AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Recently featured on an episode of the popular medical question and answer show, “The Doctors” was a minimally invasive, mini facelift technique coined, “Nick-Tuck” facelift (after the featured plastic surgeon’s own name). The episode talked to a “Nick-Tuck” patient – a woman in her early fifties that wanted to look younger in the wake of her recent divorce and had decided to undergo the procedure. The featured surgeon, whose procedure is performed while the patient is awake and only requires local anesthesia, boasted that he had been performing this procedure for the last two years.
If you are familiar with Atlanta Plastic Surgeon, Dr. John LeRoy, you are also aware of his Band Aid Facelift – a similarly minimally invasive mini facelift technique only requiring local anesthesia. However, unlike the surgeon featured on “The Doctors” who has been performing this surgery since 2008 – Dr. LeRoy has been performing his originally developed Band Aid Facelift since 1997!
While the minimally invasive nature of the two facelifts are similar, Dr. LeRoy has been perfecting his Band Aid Facelift technique for over 12 years, performing about 2,000 to date. His Band Aid Facelift can be performed in his office, using only gentle numbing. Using smaller incisions, Band Aid Facelift can refresh and lift the look of the face and reduce fine lines and wrinkles with less cost and shorter recovery time. The goal of the Band Aid facelift is subtlety – making it a perfect option for patients who want to look like themselves, just 10 years younger.
If you wish for more information on the Band Aid Facelift, or any of Dr. John LeRoy’s procedures, visit our website and/or schedule a consultation.
