Feeling Good Naked

Are you looking tired, intense, angry, or sad?  In this episode of "Make Me Pretty", we review common reasons originating from heavy upper eyelids and/or a heavy brow.  We review slight non-surgical options but primarily focus on surgical options such as an Upper Lid Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift) and various Browlifts. These are surgical procedures that can be performed separately or together and in the hands of a reputable surgeon can give a naturally appearing refreshed appearance to the face. As your host who spends time in and out of the operating room, I am a fan of these procedures with the correct patient selection.
This episode gives an overview of the aging tissues to the upper lids and brows, some thoughts on non-surgical procedures and a focus on surgical options.
Thank you for listening, subscribing, and reviewing.  I see you and I APPRECIATE YOU!

The eyes are one of the first things we see on a person. They can "say" a lot without one single word spoken.  On a good day, the skin under the eye is smooth, hydrated, tight, with good light reflection, few lines and little puffiness. BUUUUUUT when this area is dry, wrinkled, has darkened skin,  shadowing of the tissues, significant laxity or large pockets of puffiness then one can look fatigued, sad, or unhealthy. In this episode, we discuss the evaluation of these tissues and possible options to address them. The area under the eye may not look as youthful as we’d like because of natural anatomical structures (genetics), typical changes with aging, or environmental injury (ex. sun exposure or smoking causing an increase in free radicals). With over 15 years experience in Plastic Surgery, Katie Allen, PA-C touches on a variety of treatment options such as microneedling, needling with radio frequency, lasers, skin care, filler, and surgery.
I suggest listening to the podcast at a 1.5x speed to keep the rhythm going.  Thank you in advance for your support in listening to Make Me Pretty Podcast, downloading the podcast and leaving a review.

With time, all breasts have a potential to experience deflation and/or sagging. All breast shapes and sizes can be affected.  In time, an  "A" cup can become a droopy "A" cup, a "B" cup,  a droopy "B" cup,  a "C" cup,  a droopy "C" cup and so on. Poor genetics, gravity and physical body changes (e.g. pregnancy,  significant weight shifts ) can individually or simultaneously contribute to a more matronly appearance.  Many individuals would prefer more perky or sporty youthful appearance if possible. There is no intention of body shaming but simply educating individuals who are interested in improving the appearance of their breasts.
On this episode, "when your breasts have fallen and they can't get up," we speak with Dr. Glen Walton, MD, FACS, a highly skilled board certified plastic surgeon, on options available to patients who may be considering surgical options to lift their breasts. Dr. Walton graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from  Dartmouth College in 1984 and went on to Emory University Medical School in Atlanta, graduating in 1988.  He then went on to do his residency in General Surgery at Emory University from 1988-1993. He then completed a fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Plastic Surgery Program from 1993-1995.  He began his professional career at Plastic Surgery of Athens, working from 1995-1997 and later  joined  Northeast Georgia Plastic Surgery, in Gainesville, Georgia, where he actively practices. Dr. Walton stays quite busy with cosmetic surgeries and procedures, always keeping safety as a first priority and meticulously working to leave patients with a more youthful natural appearance.  He works a great deal with improving breasts (mastopexy vs. breast augmentation) abdominal tissue (abdominoplasty vs. mini-abdominoplasty), arm lifts (brachioplasty),  facial rejuvenation, including facelifts, mini-facelifts and combo treatments and devices (ex. Inmode) , body lifts,  liposuction, and so much more.
To set up a consult with Dr. Walton in-office or virtually, call 770-534-1856.

Do you have smoker's lines that surround your mouth? Whether or not cigarettes are the cause of those lines, I've never met anyone that's okay with them. In fact, I often state that many of my "hippie" friends are not okay with those lines as they can make us look dehydrated and unhealthy. 
Perioral lines are quite challenging to treat and often need multiple modalities to gain any ground.  Genetics play the largest role in whether or not someone has lip lines or not but we can't control that, can we?  We do, however, have some control with prevention: avoiding habits or environments that accelerate the appearance of aging. We also can look at early intervention with a variety of treatments to help stimulate collagen and decrease the deepening of these lines.  Are you past the point of early intervention and needing some serious work to this area?  Be ready to be patient.  We can achieve reasonable results but there is no one thing that works alone.  It will take a process...we need time and money.
This episode is a cliff note version on the prevention and treatment of lip lines.

It'd be nice to avoid too much thought on small areas such as the earlobes but there are several primary reasons why they can have a negative appearance. Natural aging and accidental or purposeful stretching of a pierced opening are the most likely reasons that we may find ourselves inquiring about options to repair damaged lobes.  Whether a patient is desirous of an appropriate display of their favorite earrings or someone finds themselves in a job situation that requires a repair of a large defect, we have some solutions to offer.

Botox has become a word used commonly in many people's every day language. This episode introduces individuals to how a consultation may look, the most common areas treated, approximate pricing, and the importance of finding a reputable injector.
