Breast Augmentation Most Common Procedure at Charleston Plastic Surgery Practice

More than 318,000 breast augmentation procedures were performed in 2010, making it the most performed surgical cosmetic procedure. The latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) also finds that 62% of patients chose silicone breast implants. Charleston plastic surgeon Dr. Ram Kalus says these statistics are also reflected in the procedures he performs at his practice. “Breast augmentation is definitely the most common single procedure I now perform in my practice. We tend to see two populations of women: young women in their early twenties prior to having children, and women in the mid to late thirties after one or more pregnancies who may also need a lift procedure to correct sagging.”

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) August 11, 2011

With more than 9.3 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2010, the latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) finds that breast augmentation was the most popular surgical procedure. According to the same study, nearly 200,000 of the 318,000 breast augmentation procedure performed used silicone breast implants instead of saline implants. At his Charleston plastic surgery practice, Dr. Ram Kalus says his patients prefer silicone breast implants to saline at roughly the same rate. “I tell my patients that as a rule they can expect an equally pretty visual result if we use saline-filled or silicone-filled implants. The decision by the vast majority of my patients to opt for silicone over saline gets made when they hold each implant in their hands. The silicone implants simply feel more like a natural breast. The saline implant is a bit firmer and detectable to the hand.”

While speculation concerning the safety of silicone breast implants surfaced in the mid-90s, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed the safety and overall effectiveness of silicone implants after a 14-year period of extensive research. Dr. Kalus says in addition to addressing the safety concerns, the latest advancements in silicone gel also provide an improved aesthetic appearance and more natural feel. However, he adds that when performing breast augmentation in Charleston, each surgery is unique and requires an individualized approach to ensure the patient’s cosmetic enhancement expectations are met.

According to the same study from ASAPS, a majority of the U. S. population now approves of cosmetic enhancement. As popularity continues to grow, Dr. Kalus says he expects breast augmentation with silicone implants to remain one of the most popular forms of aesthetic enhancement. “I think there are a couple of reasons for the popularity of the procedure. First, after the FDA conclusion and announcement that silicone implants are entirely safe, women feel more confident and secure about seeking breast enhancement. Secondly, I try to achieve a very natural result which usually entails the use of smaller implant sizes than women are used to or expect.”

Dr. Ram Kalus earned his medical degree from Boston University. He then completed his plastic surgery residency and several plastic surgery fellowships, and was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1992.

Clear Braces Special at New Jersey Cosmetic Dentistry Practice

Morristwon, NJ (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

At their New Jersey cosmetic dentistry practice, Edward Romano, DDS and Matthew Vaccaro, DDS are announcing a special on clear braces.

The InvisalignR treatment often takes less time than traditional metal braces to achieve effective results, and the removable teeth aligners do not use wires or other metal materials that may break or need adjustment later on.

Whether creating that smile involves teeth straightening with InvisalignR, porcelain veneers, or teeth whitening, the dentists say they strive to enhance the natural beauty of each patient by giving them the smile they deserve.

Atlanta Plastic Surgeon Celebrates Nineteen Years in Practice with Open House

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011

Over 100 friends and previous patients will gather next Thursday to celebrate 19 years of practice in cosmetic and plastic surgery. The event is slated to include a wine tasting, passed hor d’oeuvres, live music, gift bags, and drawings for special giveaways.

Following a year-long fellowship at the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital in New York City, Dr. John LeRoy returned to Atlanta where he started his own cosmetic and plastic surgery practice. Nineteen years later, thanks to the unwavering support of his longtime patient base, Dr. LeRoy would like to share this milestone with those who made it possible.

Nineteen years of practice has allowed Dr. LeRoy the opportunity to implement an array of cosmetic surgery technologies and techniques, and most importantly, surgical experience. In 1997, LeRoy used his surgical skill and the feedback from his facelift patients to develop the original Band Aid Facelift followed by Band Aid Liposuction, and most recently, Band Aid Tummy Tuck. Dr. LeRoy uses these techniques, performed in-office with gentle numbing, to make patient’s look up to ten years younger.

Dr. LeRoy attributes much of his success to time and surgical discretion sharing, “I always try to impart the importance of personalized care to my patients. I know that cosmetic surgery is a very personal, thoughtful decision that can have major effects on an individual’s life. I like to approach surgery as a team—the patient and myself. I want them to know that I want to enhance a person’s natural appearance, not change who they are.”

Admission to Dr. John LeRoy’s open house is free of charge. Those who wish to attend can RSVP by calling (770) 447-1114 or email drjleroy(at)gmail(dot)com. Dr. LeRoy’s practice is located at 5673 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd., NE Suite 375 in Atlanta, GA 30342.

About Dr. John LeRoy
John L. LeRoy, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a board certified, Atlanta-based plastic surgeon devoted to providing exceptional care. He is a member of the American Medical Association, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons. He studied cosmetic plastic surgery at the prestigious Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital in New York and is board-certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American College of Surgeons.
