Our Philosophy.

For more than 25 years, the Atlanta community has recognized Dr. John Armitage Rusca as a leader in the field of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. His commitment to the artistry of aesthetic surgery has earned him a reputation that far exceeds the local geographic area, drawing patients not only from Atlanta, Georgia, but also from the entire Southeast, England, Europe, Central and South America. While recognized for his finely tuned aesthetic in the female face and form, he is considered an authority in male plastic surgery, writing and lecturing on the subject.

Surgery is only one of the steps in Maximizing Your Potential! First comes understanding the desires of the patient - what is to be the ultimate goal? Next is the plan - how are we to achieve the goal? Consultations may be lengthy. Surgery is but one step - preceded by patient education, smoking cessation, skin preparation, occasionally a moulage to sculpt in wax the desired change or to create an implant.

Pre- and post-operatively, patients take advantage of Aesthetica SKIN CARE’s facials, skin peels, expert make-up instruction or perhaps the latest in microdermabrasion or micropigmentation, or any of the newer skin care techniques. Relaxing massage to reduce pre-surgery jitters and therapeutic massages pre- and post-surgery are available to facilitate the patients needs. Consultants in hair style, color, and cut may be required for your new look and are routinely utilized. Personal trainers, wardrobe consultants and others are available to those who need them. A patient coordinator assures that your every inquiry, your every need is fulfilled.
