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 […]

Dr. Beaty knows that a successful recovery is a critical component of your overall rhinoplasty experience.

Exfoliation is the key to healthy, bright skin. But we’re not like snakes, which simply shed their entire outer skin layer when its time has passed. That would be beneficial, but pretty creepy for us human types. Women can also be envious of men because they get to exfoliate their faces every day through shaving. […]
If you’re reading Dr. Beaty’s blog, you’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the basis of “naturally derived” dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane that we offer our patients.
