Latisse Rebate Extension

Posted on June 21, 2010 in Current Specials Dr. LeRoy's Blog

Atlanta Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. John LeRoy offers several minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures including his originally developed Band Aid Facelift, Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), and Band Aid Brow Lift.  Dr. LeRoy also offers Latisse® to patients who wish to revitalize the appearance of their eyes through increased eye lash growth. 

The topical prescription treatment works to increase the length of the anagen, or growth phase of the eyelashes, to lengthen existing lashes and increase the amount of new growth over 12-16 weeks of daily application.  If you suffer from hypotrichosis (an insufficient number of eyelashes) and have thought about trying the product now is a great time to start.

The makers of Latisse® are offering a $20 rebate to patients who register for the “Lash Perks” program on the Latisse® website before the end of August.  Registering is simple:  requiring only a short application and mailing in the coupon they give you once you submit the application along with the UPC label from your Latisse® prescription. 

In addition to the rebate, Lash Perks members will also have access to news and any subsequent specials from Latisse® contact Dr. LeRoy’s office to schedule a consultation and find out if Latisse® could be right for you.

Plastic Surgery Trend: More and More Men Opting For Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Posted on June 15, 2010 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.

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.

Reflect on A Younger Looking You: Dr. LeRoy Offers Band Aid Mini Facelift Surgery

You Can’t Hide Those Aging Eyes: Dr. LeRoy reveals minimally invasive eye rejuvenation procedure

Posted on 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 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.

To learn more about the cosmetic procedures, such as cosmetic injectables like Botox ® and Dysport ® and Dr. LeRoy’s originally developed Band Aid Facelift, visit our website.

Early Stages of Research On Cell-enriched Fat Grafting Shows Promise for Future Cosmetic and Reconstruction Surgery

Posted on April 12, 2010 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.
