Excess sweating is a very common and treatable condition known as hyperhidrosis. SmartLipo has afforded a new and highly effective treatment option for patients.

Male breast enlargement is also known as gynecomastia. A very common phenomenon, many men are reluctant to seek medical advice for effective treatment. Rest assured, this is an extremely common condition and one of the most common reasons men seek the advice from our practice. Treatment is very effective, usually achieved through a combination of liposuction and a small incision around the nipple to remove any existing firm breast tissue. Surgery is done either in the office or in an operating room depending on the patient. Call our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Howard for additional details.

Dr. Howard has recently trialed a new nonsurgical skin tightening device known as Pelleve. Pelleve delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin which heats up the dermis and leads to collagen remodelling and skin tightening. No anesthesia, no downtime, and no incisions! Dr. Howard and his staff continue to explore and evaluate new cosmetic surgery technology as a cutting edge plastic surgery practice, and are known for being leaders in cosmetic surgery technology.

Lately our office has been seeing and treating patients with limited cosmetic surgical deformities of the nose by injections in lieu of surgery. Also known as the “Five Minute Nose Job” or sometimes the “Fifteen Minute Nose Job,” patients have become suddenly more aware of this option. Although not a permanent solution, injectables into the nose have been known to last two or more years! Call for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for a non-surgical nose job.

Male breast enlargement, also known as Gynecomastia, is extremely common. Typically beginning around the age of puberty, many males become socially conscious of their breasts and go to extreme measures to hide their breast tissue. Plastic surgeons have many options to help correct this deformity depending on the degree and amount of tissue present. Interestingly, a high intake of soy products is now being associated with Gynecomastia. Soy contains two chemicals, genistein and daidzein, which can act similarly to estrogen (a female hormone) and result in femininization including breast tissue development. These two chemicals belong to a class of plant-produced estrogenic compounds known as phytoestrogens. Limiting the intake of soy will likely slow the development of breast tissue but may not get rid of any tissue which has already developed. Call our office to discuss your management options.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty (also known as as a non-surgical nose job, 5 minute nose job, or sometimes a fifteen minute nose job) involves injection of filler materials such as Radiesse, Restylane, or Juvederm to improve the shape of the nose. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a fast and simple alternative for patients wanting to change the appearance of their nose but are not yet ready for or don’t need a surgical rhinoplasty. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is fast, and done in Dr. Howard’s office with minimal discomfort. Results usually last at least a year depending on the filler used for procedure. Dr. Howard is extremely well-qualified in non-surgical rhinoplasty and is a double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can typically help the following types of noses:
1. small humps, bumps, and asymmetry
2. prior surgery with overly scooped or overly operated on appearance
3. minor fullness on the nasal dorsum
4. noses that look too “short”

Non-surgical rhinoplasty are not ideal for the following types of noses:
1. large humps, bumps, or wide noses
2. significant asymmetry
4. noses needing less volume, not more volume

Dr. Howard has performed numerous non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures in our Atlanta and Roswell, Georgia office using these fillers with exciting and fast results. The cost of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is a fraction of the cost of a surgical rhinoplasty.
