Yesterday’s free lunch-and-learn seminar focusing on breast augmentation gave attendees the valuable opportunity to ask Dr. Colgrove and his staff questions about the most popular procedure at Vinings Surgery Center.

During the seminar, Dr. Colgrove offered in-depth information about breast augmentation and specific types of implants. He explained the differences between silicone and saline implants, as well as the pros and cons of each type. Dr. Colgrove also spoke to participants about what to expect in the recovery and healing process following the surgery, emphasizing the importance of stretching, massage, and the use of high-quality support bras in the weeks after the procedure is done. He introduced the group to his nursing staff, which is always on hand to answer questions, address concerns and walk patients through the entire process.

Curt Trogdon of Allergan, maker of the Natrelle® silicone implant, was on hand to give attendees in-depth information about the implants. Attendees were reminded that, for a limited time, patients who select Natrelle® implants receive a free Botox® treatment or Latisse® for themselves and a friend.

Dr. Colgrove also gave personal consultations and evaluations to each attendee, giving each woman all the information she would need to help her in making a decision about breast augmentation.

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

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.

Give us a call at  770-955-9000 with any questions and to make your appointment.

Many of our patients–especially those who have never undergone a surgical procedure before–come to us with questions about anesthesia. When is general anesthesia used? How safe is it? What will I experience? How long will I be “under”? What will it feel like when I come out of the anesthesia? At Vinings Surgery Center, general anesthesia is used for all invasive procedures. It is very safe, and it allows Dr. Colgrove to work quickly and precisely because the patient lies completely still. It also makes the experience a better one for patients, since most are unaccustomed to the sights and sounds of surgery, and they may be unsettling if they are awake and under local anesthesia.

Local anesthesia and IV sedation allow the patient to stay awake during the procedure. However, the medications used in local anesthesia and IV sedation actually cause more hangover effects than the inhalation agents used in general anesthesia. Contrary to popular perception, the inhalation agents have a very low incidence of nausea and vomiting.

A dedicated, licensed and certified anesthesia professional attends to the details of the anesthesia while Dr. Colgrove operates. The team works together to ensure that all goes smoothly for each patient, with an optimum outcome for the procedure. As always, we welcome any questions you have about any procedure you’re considering; please feel free to give us a call at 770-955-9000.

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.
