Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Franklyn Elliott has over 25 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Over the years, Dr. Elliott has met with many patients who want to look younger but still maintain natural results.

After a facial rejuvenation procedure such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), forehead lift or facelift surgery, Dr. Elliott may recommend CO2 laser skin resurfacing to his patients.  Laser skin resurfacing can complement facial plastic surgery results by minimizing scarring and improving overall complexion.  For patients who are not quite ready for a comprehensive facial procedure, laser skin resurfacing can help eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and birthmarks.

Laser skin resurfacing uses beams of light to target specific areas of concern on the face.  Laser resurfacing removes the damaged outer layer of skin, while heating the underlying skin to stimulate collagen production.  After treatment, facial skin will become smoother and firmer.

Cosmetic Procedures Become More Common Among Men

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Male plastic surgery Atlanta GAAlthough men have always had plastic surgery performed, it seemed few and far between.  However, today more men are seeking cosmetic procedures to address aging concerns. According to the latest reports from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), men accounted for 1.2 million cosmetic procedures in 2011. The top plastic surgery procedures for males include rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, breast reduction, and facelift surgery.

Dr. Franklyn Elliott has been performing both plastic and reconstructive surgery for over 25 years and understands male patients’ concerns. With the struggling economy and competitive workforce, many men wish to rejuvenate their appearance. During a consultation, Dr. Elliott thoroughly listens to his patient’s concerns and has found many of his male patients complain of wrinkles and a tired appearance.  Cosmetic procedures such as eyelid surgery and facelifts can help address these concerns.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can greatly improve the appearance of the eyes, including both upper and/or lower eyelids. Through advanced techniques including transconjunctival incision and subciliary skin tightening, Dr. Elliott can avoid an exaggerated look and provide natural, subtle looking results. For men who seek a more comprehensive anti-aging procedure, a facelift may be beneficial.  During facelift surgery, sagging skin is removed and facial muscles are re-tightened, deep creases are smoothed, and excess fatty deposits are removed or repositioned.  Dr. Elliott uses his own distinctive technique during facelift procedures that allow his patients the convenience of rapid recovery without the use of dressings after surgery.

As mentioned in previous blogs, liposuction can eliminate stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.  Dr. Elliott has performed this fat reduction procedure since its inception and has found the best results in patients who are healthy but would like to remove small, isolated pockets of fat. Liposuction is also used as a technique for male breast reduction. Through liposuction, excess fat and glandular tissue are removed to create a smoother, more masculine appearance.

atlanta-facial-plastic-surgeryWith the struggling economy and competitive job market, many individuals are looking for ways to appear younger and more rested.  Your face often provides the first impression; Dr. Franklyn Elliott will frequently meet with patients to discuss which facial rejuvenation procedures can help them restore a more youthful appearance.   Facelift surgery can greatly minimize the signs of aging of the face and neck, however, patients often do not need a full facelift to see results.

A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, addresses the upper face area by lifting drooping brows and eliminating frown lines and deep creases across the forehead.  As with all procedures, Dr. Elliott uses the most advanced techniques to improve recovery time and provide patients with natural-looking results.  Dr. Elliott makes small incisions within the hair line or the natural creases of the facial anatomy when performing a brow lift to allow the tissue and muscle to be repositioned without noticeable scars.

Many patients have other anti-aging procedures performed as well to compliment brow lift surgery including eyelid surgery and skin resurfacing. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can rejuvenate aging eyes by removing fatty deposits and excess skin that contribute to a tired appearance.  Patients often see benefits from laser skin resurfacing after plastic surgery as it smoothes skin tone and rebuild collagen. Laser skin resurfacing can also eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, and other skin blemishes while improving overall complexion.
