Dr. Elliott’s Year in Review!

, , , , ,

They say time flies when you’re having fun. In that case, 2019 must have been a ball because it’s hard to believe the year is almost past us already. I’m so grateful to my whole staff here at the office for helping make the last year so wonderful. Not to mention all of my incredible patients who trust me and my team to provide only the best cosmetic surgery results and service. Before we officially turn the page on 2019, I wanted to take some time to look back at what made the year so special.

plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures, top doctors, educational, surgeonLike any other year, the highlight was seeing how my team and I were able to impact the lives of our patients with cosmetic surgery procedures and cosmetic treatments. Cosmetic surgery seems to grow in popularity every year and 2019 was certainly no exception here. It was a busy year, but having the ability to help so many new patients, as well as welcome back some familiar faces, makes all the time and energy more than worth it.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel and share some of my knowledge with my colleagues in the field of cosmetic surgery. Once again, I attended this year’s Atlanta Breast Surgery Symposium as a guest lecturer and featured presenter. I have been attending this event for many years now and it’s always such a thrill to see how it continues to grow year after year.

It was an incredible honor to be named a Top Doctor in the field of plastic surgery by Castle Connolly for the fourth consecutive year. This award is only given to doctors who are nominated by their peers in their respective fields, so it is obviously a special acknowledgement that I do not take for granted. To receive this award again means so much to myself and my entire medical team and we will do everything we can to continue to maintain the high level of care, professionalism, and aesthetic results that our patients depend on.

Before I formally bid adieu to 2019, I wanted to say thank you to all the people who helped make the last year such a great one. This starts with my truly exceptional medical team and office staff. I also want to thank all of my outstanding patients. It’s my pleasure to work with you all and I look forward to all the great things 2020 has in store for us.

Can Gynecomastia Be Treated Without Plastic Surgery?

, , , , , , ,

Male breast enlargement can affect men and boys of all ages. It is particularly common during adolescence as the body experiences changes associated with puberty and physical maturation. In many cases, the problem can disappear as a man enters his twenties. However, it can persist into adulthood. Gynecomastia is a common condition in which male breast enlargement is caused by an excess of glandular breast tissue.

I often speak to prospective patients who seek to treat their gynecomastia and are curious if there are any available non-surgical solutions. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Although some people are able to slightly reduce some degree of volume from their chest area by losing weight, true gynecomastia is caused by excess tissue and not fat. That means dieting, exercising, liposuction, and non-surgical fat removal treatments like CoolSculpting® may not be able to provide significant relief. Additionally, there are no known medications or supplements that have been proven to help treat gynecomastia. I would warn patients against taking any of these alleged solutions, as they can have unintended effects on their health.

Men who are really determined to achieve a meaningful change to their chest contour would benefit from inquiring about male breast reduction surgery. In the following video, I discuss male breast reduction and how it is able to help men relieve their gynecomastia symptoms once and for all:

I understand the urge to look for a non-surgical alternative to treat your condition. However, sometimes, like in the case of gynecomastia, this simply is not an option. Thankfully, when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, male breast reduction surgery is a rather straightforward procedure that can provide legitimately life-changing results.

What Are the Most Popular Surgeries Among Younger Patients?

, , , , , , ,

There is no denying that cosmetic surgery is popular among patients all across the age spectrum. However, some procedures are more in-demand with certain age groups than others. This makes sense. After all, people have different aesthetic concerns and priorities at different points in their life. To help some of my younger patients gain a better idea of how cosmetic procedures may be able to help them, I wanted to discuss a few of the more popular procedures that I perform on younger patients.

Since it is incredibly popular with women of all ages, it’s not surprising that breast augmentation is in-demand with younger patients. Breast augmentation uses breast implants (and sometimes fat transfer injections) to help women achieve the breast size and shape that they desire. Liposuction is also incredibly popular with younger patients who wish to remove pockets of excess fat that accumulate around the body (especially in areas like the abdomen and waist). Additionally, non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face like Botox® injections and laser skin resurfacing treatments can help patients rejuvenate their look without the need for surgery. Some younger patients even choose to have Botox® to prevent potential wrinkles before they occur.

In the following video, I discuss which cosmetic procedures are currently most popular among younger patients that I see:

Thanks to the subtle, natural-looking results that can be achieved, more young people than ever are beginning to feel comfortable turning to cosmetic procedures to improve some aspect of their appearance. During consultations with younger patients, I am especially careful to make each patient fully understands the specifics of their respective procedure to make sure they feel they are making the correct decision.
