Hear First-Hand from My Plastic Surgery Patients

, , , , , ,

Hear First-Hand from My Plastic Surgery PatientsOne of the great pleasures of my life as a plastic surgeon is hearing from the patients I have been able to help over the years. As a board-certified plastic surgeon for over 35 years, I have worked with a wide variety of patients to help them achieve cosmetic or reconstructive improvements to help them achieve a greater confidence and more positive body image. I understand that cosmetic surgery is a big decision that some patients may be hesitant to pursue. That’s why I have invited some of my plastic surgery patients to speak about their own experiences to help demonstrate the life-changing benefits a cosmetic procedure can provide.

To get us started, one of my facelift patients will discuss the results she noticed in the weeks following her procedure:

Dear Dr. Elliott, I want to express to you my gratitude for all that you have done for me. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my results, and it has not even been two weeks yet. My family and I just think you are the greatest! I would not have let another surgeon touch my face! Over the years, our family and friends just know that you are the best! I will always appreciate and feel blessed that you were my surgeon.

God certainly blessed you, and I am truly grateful to you.

– Sincerely, J.

Our second testimonial comes from a male breast reduction patient who reminds us that there’s more to receiving great care than just the procedure itself:

I can’t thank Atlanta Plastic Surgery and Dr. Elliott enough! I had gynecomastia surgery in June 2014 and the results are unbelievable. With a crazy work schedule it was hard for me to lock down a specific date for surgery. The office was very flexible scheduling a date for my procedure and I can’t thank them enough for that. Overall the results are incredible and the whole process was very easy. I would recommend anyone to use Dr. Elliott at Atlanta Plastic Surgery for any of their cosmetic surgery needs.”

Lastly, I wanted to highlight the impact our medical team can have on a patient’s plastic surgery experience. In the world of cosmetic surgery, there is no such thing as a one-man job. I work closely with my exceptional staff of providers to ensure every patient receives the full attention they deserve.

As their patient for a few procedures (following a loss of 175 pounds from bariatric surgery), I can confirm that everyone on “Team Elliott” are simply the best! Suzanne, Michelle, Patti and Dr. Elliott all work together flawlessly to make their patients feel comfortable and like one of their friends, not just a patient. From the moment I met him, Dr. Elliott’s honest approach to what he felt he and his team could do for me, I was confident that I’d get the best care and results possible…and I DID! They ROCK!

What Plastic Surgery is Best to Help Men Look Younger?

, , , , , ,

As a plastic surgeon, one of the most noticeable trends I have recognized over the past few years is the recent surge in the number of male patients I’ve encountered. In fact, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, cosmetic procedures for men are now more popular than ever before. Whether this recent uptick is due to societal pressures to retain a more youthful appearance, new developments in the field of plastic surgery, or other reasons, there is no question that men are finally beginning to reap the benefits that plastic surgery can provide.

With the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgery can allow men to improve their physique, rejuvenate their look, and create a healthier, more masculine looking body contour. Some of the more commonly-performed plastic surgeries for men include eyelid surgery to help refresh the facial appearance and male breast reduction to treat the effects of gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in men). But there are several other procedures that can all provide their own unique benefits depending on each patient’s specific needs. That’s why I am happy to take some time to explain how men can use plastic surgery to help fight the noticeable signs of aging in the video below.


Regardless of what kind of aesthetic improvement they are seeking, I believe strongly that plastic surgery can unlock a world of possibilities for men trying to improve how they look and feel. With that said, it’s important to remember that every patient is unique. To truly understand how plastic surgery can help restore lost confidence in their appearance, all patients must first discuss their aesthetic goals in-depth with their board-certified plastic surgeon. If you would like to discuss your options in more detail, please contact me, Dr. Franklyn Elliott, to schedule a plastic surgery consultation today.

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Releases 2016 Statistics

, , , , , ,

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) just released their new plastic surgery statistics for 2016 and they included a number of facts that I found intriguing. To start, Americans underwent nearly 2 million plastic surgery procedures last year, meaning cosmetic surgery is more popular than ever. This was not only true for widely known procedures like liposuction and breast augmentation, but for a number of other relatively less common that can provide real benefits to patients including thigh lifts and eyelid surgery.

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Releases 2016 StatisticsTo give you a quick overview of their new findings, here are a few additional stats that I found particularly interesting:

  • Liposuction was the most commonly performed procedure for both women (369,323 procedures) and men (45,012 procedures).
  • 658,547 of the nearly 2 million cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the US last year were breast surgeries. Meaning, 1 out of every 3 cosmetic procedures was a breast augmentation, breast revision, breast reduction, breast lift, or breast implant removal.
  • Cosmetic surgery is growing exponentially with senior patients. Surgical procedures for men and women 65+ have increased by 58% over the last five years.
  • 17,869 thigh lifts were performed last year. This marks a 5.5% increase from 2015 and a more than 500% increase since 1997.
  • Smaller breasts remain very in-demand. Breast implant removal procedures increased by 13.4% and breast reductions saw an 8.8% increase.

I always love to read through these surveys. Combining knowledge of the latest insights with decades of performing cosmetic and reconstructive procedures allows me to better help today’s patients improve their appearance and self-confidence.
