As we age, everything sags to some degree. This is true of our facial skin. It is true of the skin on the underside of our arms. It’s true of our tummies. And it’s true of that tattoo on your shoulder, arm, back, wherever. Studies have shown that around one quarter of people who have […]
There are myths, urban legends. There are mistaken rumors. Whatever you call them, they’re not exactly factual. Maybe they’re a little overcooked, full of exaggeration. Maybe they’re just not true. Plastic surgery has its own fair share. Even the term “plastic” in plastic surgery is misunderstood. People think plastic is meant to be fake, akin […]
Noses are like annoying relatives — everyone’s got one. Unfortunately, rather than seeing them once a year at Thanksgiving, you have to see your unwanted nose every morning in the mirror. It could be too large or too wide. Maybe it has a bulbous tip or flaring nostrils. Maybe the ridge looks like the Smoky […]
At Dr. Beaty’s we love our lasers for all they do for our patients. We use lasers to remove tattoos, permanently get rid of unwanted hair, treat acne and other skin conditions, and for skin resurfacing. But one area our patients particularly like is zapping spider veins. You know, those clusters of purple, blue, and […]
There have been some pretty famous double chins — Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Jackie Gleason, to name a few.

Lip augmentation […]
We may do something about our facial aging, turning back the clock 10 years or so. But then we leave our hands to give away our true age. The backs of our hands suffer volume loss, just like our faces. The skin thins and collagen decreases. This brings the veins and tendons to the forefront […]
We’re in the midst of our usual sticky Atlanta summer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put some unwanted fat in the deep freeze at Beaty Facial Plastic Surgery with a little CoolSculpting®. You’ve probably heard of CoolSculpting®, the non-invasive procedure where fat cells are frozen and they die, slimming the contour in the treated […]
Whether your nose surgery was for cosmetic or functional reasons, the goal is to recover as soon as possible without complications. Dr. Beaty knows that a successful recovery is a critical component of your overall rhinoplasty experience. While there are some obvious things — don’t head a soccer ball!! — there are some nuances to […]
While not as zealous as Ponce de Leon, we’re all chasing a proverbial fountain of youth to some degree. No one likes to show their age. The key is collagen.
