			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many men and women who are dissatisfied with their mid-section for various reasons. Factors such as genetics, aging, dramatic weight loss, and pregnancy often play a role in creating undesirable waistlines. For those with excessive sagging skin in the mid-section, or loose and/or separated abdominal muscles, an Atlanta Abdominoplasty may be the best way to restore youth and improve body contour to the abdomen.</p>
<p>Just as there are different factors which contribute to dissatisfaction of the abdominal region, there are a couple different Tummy Tuck techniques designed to meet the individual needs of each patient, some of which are more invasive than others depending on the amount of treatment needed. Likewise, a Tummy Tuck alone may not be enough to create the desired results and other body contouring procedures are often used in conjunction with it such as Liposuction to remove any excess fat deposits, Thigh and Buttock Lift or Breast Lift.</p>
<p>Contact our office today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Rusca to find out if Abdominoplasty may be right for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Rusca and staff believe our results speak for themselves. If you are in the process of looking for a Plastic Surgeon, it can be overwhelming to know what to look for and ask. The first thing you’ll want to check is if they are board certified. Check out the Plastic Surgeon’s training and education and how long they’ve been a Plastic Surgeon in your area. These are all important things to know. True success in this business is marked by a patient’s satisfaction in the Plastic Surgeon’s work. The best way to asses this is by reading patient testimonials and viewing Before and After photos.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.drrusca.com/atlanta-photo-gallery/">Before and After photos</a> are very beneficial for prospective patients to look at. As you look at a Plastic Surgeon’s work, ask yourself if you would be happy with the results achieved in the photo. Keep in mind that each patient comes into the office with different sets of goals and needs, but if, in general, you feel positive about the results achieved, that is a good sign that that Plastic Surgeon may be able to achieve your goals. As always, it’s important to remember to have realistic expectations and not aim to look like anyone other than an enhanced version of yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/femlipo.html">Atlanta Liposuction</a> is not a treatment for obesity or a weight loss solution, it is a valuable tool for improving specific trouble areas of the body which have stubborn fatty deposits. Liposuction is ideal for people who are in good, healthy shape and are struggling with a specific area of their body which, for whatever reasons, has been resistant to change through diet and exercise alone. Often a Liposuction procedure may be done in conjunction with other body contouring procedures such as a Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift, Buttock Lift or Face Lift.</p>
<p>In a Liposuction procedure, your plastic surgeon will make several tiny incisions in the area to be treated. Next, a long, skinny tube called a cannula is inserted in the incisions and literally sucks the fat cells out like a vacuum. There is a limit to how much fat can safely be removed at a time. It is important when considering Liposuction to have realistic results. Take a look at our Liposuction Before and After Gallery to get an idea of what kind of results are possible: <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/atlanta-photo-gallery/liposuction-female">Female Liposuction Patients</a>, and <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/atlanta-photo-gallery/liposuction-male">Male Liposuction Patients</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our faces are communicating things to other people constantly, even when we arenít aware of it. The lines of our faces tell a story about how we are feeling and this is why it is so important that our faces are telling the trust story about how we are feeling. This is the reasons many men and women opt for a Brow Lift procedure. The face, particularly the forehead and area around the eyes, is often one of the first places we begin to show signs of aging. As these creases and wrinkles form it can make us appear more angry, upset or tired than we actually are. Often the brow can become heavy and hang low over the eyes. Theses are all issues that Brow Lift surgery can address to help restore a more youthful, relaxed, alert, and natural appearance.</p>
<p>Contact our office to discuss your facial rejuvenation options today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our entire life is full of people staring at our faces trying to figure out who we are, what we are trying to communicate, what we think and feel. Our faces are also one of the first places that we begin to show signs of aging- a difficult thing to face for anyone, but particularly so when the signs of aging seem to come on premature.</p>
<p>There are several treatment options available to men and women to wish to restore and rejuvenate their faces, one of these is through a <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/femfore.html">Atlanta Forehead Lift</a>, or Brow Lift. A Brow Lift procedure particularly targets the upper part of the face, from the hairline down to the brown. Oftentimes a brow life may be performed in combination with another or several facial procedures like blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), dermal fillers or a full face and neck lift.</p>
<p>We offer a number of facial rejuvenation procedures. To learn which is right for you, contact our office and schedule your confidential consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The effects of gravity, genetics, aging, weight loss and pregnancy all take their inevitable effect on our bodies, acting to pull the breasts downward. Women dissatisfied with their breasts, due to sagging, may consider a Breast Lift procedure. During a Breast Lift procedure the skin around the areola is removed, while the areola stays in tact with itís original blood supply and nerves. The areola is repositioned higher and the remaining skin is closed around the areola. In some cases, the areola may be re-shaped or re-sized as well to create the best, most natural aesthetic. The resulting breasts are perkier, more youthful looking and also firmer.</p>
<p>Women who are also dissatisfied with their breasts, not only because of sagging, but who feel they have lost breast mass, may need a Breast Augmentation coupled with a Breast Lift to achieve the desired results. <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/atlanta-photo-gallery/breast-lift">Take a look at some of results our Breast Lift patients have enjoyed in our Before and After Breast Lift Gallery.</a> Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thousand of women every year in the U.S. alone opt to go bigger by enhancing their breasts through Breast Augmentation. For women who are born with heavy, large, overdeveloped breasts the concept of going smaller may seem to outsiders a strange choice considering the amount of women opting to go bigger these days. What many people who do not deal with over-sized breasts on a daily basis do not realize is that there are a number of physical and emotional strains associated with having large breasts. Often these women deal with chronic neck, shoulder and back pain. Large breasts can make social situation uncomfortable, fashion choices limited and physical activities very painful. Dr. Rusca has helped a number of women lead more comfortable and pain-free lives through Breast Reduction surgery.</p>
<p>During a Breast Reduction surgery, Dr. Rusca will make an incision around the areola (there are a few different incision options, depending on the amount that is being altered) and generally the areola will stay in tact to itís original blood source and nerves. The excess fatty and glandular tissue and skin is removed. The areola may be repositioned, reshaped or re-sized to better match the new breasts shape. The remaining skin is then closed around the areola to create smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts.</p>
<p>If you are interested in learning how <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/femred.html">Breast Reduction</a> surgery can improve your life, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With age gravity works it’s black magic and years of facial use begin to show on your face by the way of lines, creases, wrinkles and sagging skin. As our skin looses it’s elasticity and valuable, good fats which keep it looking smooth and young, the face can begin to look older than it is. Many patients even report that their faces seem to be communicating a more tired, angry or even sad expression than they are actually feeling. Dr. Rusca has helped many men and women revitalize their faces through <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/femface.html">Atlanta Face Lift surgery.</a></p>
<p>A Face Lift procedure is designed to remove excess skin, fat and muscle and to re-drape the skin in a more tightened, youthful, flattering manor. Often a Face Lift procedure may be performed in conjunction with other Facial Rejuvenation procedures such as an Eyelid Lift, Neck Lift, Brow Lift or Liposuction. To learn more about Face Lifts and to find out if you are a good candidate, contact our office today and schedule your confidential consultation with Dr. Rusca.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The effects of gravity, pregnancy, nursing, genetics, and changes in weight effect all areas of the body, particularly the breasts. For women whose breasts have begun to sag, a Breast Lift Procedure, or Mastopexy, may be the answer to achieving more youthful, firm breasts.</p>
<p>During the <a href="http://www.drrusca.com/femlift.html">Breast Lift Procedure</a> an incision is generally made around the areola. The areola and nipple is kept intact to it’s original nerves and blood supply while the surrounding skin is removed and the breasts are repositioned. The areola will then be slightly lifted to it’s new, higher position and the remaining skin is closed around it, creating more youthful looking breasts. For women who are already satisfied with the size of their breasts a breast lift procedure alone may be all that is needed to create the desired results. However, for women who have been dissatisfied with their breasts or who feel their breasts have “deflated,” a breast lift coupled with a breast augmentation may be needed to achieve the outcome that is sought.</p>
