If you’re considering any type of cosmetic surgery, one of the most crucial steps in the decision-making process is selecting the right doctor for you. You need to feel comfort, trust and confidence in your doctor, knowing he has listened to you and is treating you as an individual with unique needs, history, health and goals. Referrals and reviews can be great tools to help you choose the cosmetic surgeon for your procedure. Fortunately, these days, there are plenty of ways to find out online about other patients’ experiences. Here are just a few places to find reviews: And here are the enthusiastic words of praise from a couple of Dr. Colgrove’s clients:
“I had surgery several years ago at Dr. Colgrove’s office and it was life changing. I had the mommy makeover and have been extremely pleased with my results. I had two children 11 months apart and could not wear a two-piece any more; since my procedure I proudly wear a bikini. My whole experience was fantastic the staff was very caring and knowledgeable about my procedures. My experience was so fantastic I have returned for other procedures and the results are just as fantastic. I have referred several people as well as family members for procedures at Dr. Colgrove’s office. I would not let anyone else touch me, my family or friends. I highly recommend Dr. Colgrove for any plastic surgery needs.” — willorauribe, yahoo.com

“Dr. Colgrove did my “tummy tuck” last year, and it looks wonderful! As a critical care RN, I do a lot of research on MD’s before I choose one, and I found that a lot of local health care professionals (“choosey RN’s”) had chosen Dr. Colgrove and been extremely satisfied. After two babies and a hysterectomy My abdomen was very saggy. Now it looks so good, flat and you can’t even see a scar! All I had to do was listen to and follow the advice of him and his great staff. My only regret is that I didn’t find Dr. Colgrove and have him do my surgery 10 years ago! Saving for a facelift to be done by Dr. Colgrove. I’ve seen his work on other RNs. Bravo to Vinings Surgery Center and Dr. Colgrove!” — ccwrnccrn212, kudzu.com

Rosacea

Suffering with rosacea, or skin prone to redness and swelling, can be frustrating. One of the solutions to managing rosacea is to find out what specific factors are contributing to inflammation. An article by Melissa Schwarzchild, M.D. published in The Health Journal explains the triggers for rosacea and how to combat them. Heat is one of the most common triggers. Exposure to high temperatures outdoors will intensify your rosacea. Wearing hats and applying sunscreen daily is a good way to protect yourself.

Schwarzchild also notes the many sufferers of rosacea have sensitive skin. Using a mild cleanser and sticking to hypoallergenic facial creams and makeup also can aid in the prevention of further skin irritation. For a more permanent solution, Schwarzchild recommends rosacea patients turn to a cosmetic surgeon for laser treatments.

These gentle, quick procedures target broken capillaries and dilated blood vessels to will significantly reduce redness and create a more even skin tone. These types of treatments are available at Vinings Surgery Center, and specialists are on hand to answer any questions.

FotoFacial RF® treatment for Rosacea and More

FotoFacial RF® treatment applies a unique combination of controlled heat and light (Syneron® Aurora™ laser) to improve the appearance of age spots, freckles, and sun spots. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce redness and rosacea symptoms, decrease the appearance of unwanted facial veins, and diminish the visibility of enlarged pores. FotoFacial RF® treatments must be performed in a cycle that corresponds with your body’s own rejuvenation processes with time in between treatments to allow your skin to heal itself.  Typically, FotoFacial RF® patients see the best skin rejuvenation results after a series of five treatments spaced one month apart.

Did you know Dr. Colgrove is one of only a few surgeons in Atlanta to offer water-assisted liposuction (WAL)? He has made this less traumatic and less risky lipoplasty technique available at Vinings Surgery Center for more than a year. Developed in 2000 and FDA approved as a safe procedure, water-assisted liposuction is regarded as a minimally invasive fat removal procedure.

Throughout the years, several other techniques have been developed in order to perfect the art of liposuction, which includes using a high-powered vacuum to suck fat out or lasers or chemical injections that melt or break down fat cells prior to suctioning. However, it is the simple act of using water that is said to be the key to making liposuction a more comfortable, easier, and quicker procedure for the patient. Also called Body Jet liposuction, water-assisted liposuction is designed to dislodge the fat before gently washing it out of the body with a special cannula. The cannula used for this particular lipoplasty procedure has openings on both the sides and the top for two distinct purposes. The opening at the top releases high-pressured water that helps break down the fat while leaving the surrounding nerves and blood vessels unharmed. A mixture of fat and fluid is then suctioned from the holes on the side of the cannula.

Although every liposuction technique that has been developed thus far has the intention of reducing all potential risks for post-operative complications, as well as problems during surgery, patients may still experience infection, bleeding, and nerve damage with some of these other methods. Just as traditional liposuction typically involves general anesthesia, this revolutionary technique is usually performed in the same manner; however, based on the area treated, a local anesthetic may be used instead. There are a number of other advantages to this as a low-impact procedure, including: less surgical time, less costly (due to there being less time in surgery), no downtime, a shorter recovery period, and a possible improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Here are some very kind words from a couple of our patients:

“I had surgery in 1994 with Dr Colgrove. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift. My experience was fantastic. I felt very at home with him and his staff. They went out of their way to make sure all my needs were taking care of. I was so happy with my experience that I have returned for several more surgeries. I wouldn’t let any one else do surgery on me or my family. I have referred several people to him and they have had excellent results as well. I highly recommend him and his staff for any procedure that their office does.”  — twju356, kudzu.com

“I went to see Dr. Colgrove for minor surgery on my nose, to have some capillaries removed …  It was a fantastic experience.  He has a beautiful office, and his staff are very professional.  Dr. Colgrove had a very calming bedside manner, and explained to me in detail what he was about to do.  I was there less than an hour, and the results were fantastic!” — Ron.
