I chose Dr Beaty for upper and lower blepharoplasty and we spoke about exactly what my expectations were and he said he could provide. Unfortunately, what I received was a botched surgery. I had many issues early on. Stitches pulled too tightly in my left eye, not enough fat was removed in my top lid and uneven and blotchy texture in the lower lid (We talked about redistributing fat in the lower lid) Since there was nothing he could do about the tightness from the stitches, I just let that go. He removed the missed fat in the upper lids and injected hyalourandais in the lower to break up the fat, or redistribute it. I saw results immediately after the injection, the same day. Whatever was in that area, was gone. I was suspect about this product, so I Googled. I found that hyalourandais is, primarily, used to dissolve fillers, within 24-48 hrs. I brought this up to him and he denied using them. Whatever was in that area, was gone, the next day, and in the area he injected it. I let it go (for now), because I knew only time will tell once the rest wore off (in which they did). Although, this dissolved some areas, this area was still had a problem with unevenness and blotchiness. He agreed to laser the lower area, but after the first treatment, I knew this was not going to correct the problems, so I stopped. Also, there was an area on my right eye that was hollow, due to an accident that he agreed to transfer fat. I noticed that the area was not completely filled, and I brought this up to him, he noticed, said it was ok, but It wasn’t. I suspected fillers in this area too, but, again, let it go (for now), and wait for them to wear off (in which they did). I, also, noticed early on that my eyes were not completely closing (at the lash line) when I would lay down. I didn’t bring this up, and I regret that.

It’s been roughly 1 year since my last consult, and now that all the dust has settled with my surgery and the fillers have dissolved, I have a much clearer picture.

He pulled too much skin from the top lids. The pinched skin from the stitches being pulled too tight, has subsided a little, but still noticeable (to me). He removed too much skin on the top lids. My eyes do not look natural and eyes still don’t close completely. The left eye creeps open when I’m on my back, so I have to sleep on my left side if I want my eyes to stay shut. The lower lids are still blotchy and uneven and my eyes look hollow and dark. Since the fillers have dissolved on the lower lids, I can see where he put the fat. It wasn’t distributed at all, it’s only in one part of the eyes. You can clearly see where he put it. This is what is causing the blotchiness and unevenness. He took too much fat from my tear troughs and now the area is dark and hollow. The filler (which was supposed to be fat) from the hollow area from the accident, has completely dissolved, and it’s hollow once again.

I decided it was time for another consult. I had high hopes of some type of resolution, because the mistakes are obvious. I believed his mind was made up before he walked in the door. He didn’t bring in the pictures they took when I showed up and thought if he was really interested in discussing my concerns, he would’ve had in hand, before and after pictures for reference. I had to point on my face where the issues were. He listened and proceeded to tell me that surgery was done correctly. We, respectfully, went around and around, however, there was no convincing him otherwise. It was clear he was not interested in taking any more responsibility nor holding himself accountable for any more of the mistakes that were made. He did say he would “help” me by recontouring the bottom lids, but charge ME for the surgery. I told him I shouldn’t have to pay for his mistakes. (Why charge me for a revision surgery after he just told me the surgery was done correctly?) In the same breath, he recanted his offer and proceeded to tell me he couldn’t help me.

I had rhinoplasty over a month ago and am thrilled with the results! I am a medical professional and I chose Dr Beaty after plenty of research. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. The staff is amazing and Dr Beaty is very warm and professional and clearly the expert in his field. I woke from surgery with no pain and had minimal bruising and swelling that dissipated quicker than I had expected. I get so many compliments on how well the procedure turned out!

Dr. Beaty recommended that I have a new procedure for cystic acne. I wish that I could post a picture here because you would stop reading and sprint to his office if you saw the improvements in my skin. I would have never known about the procedure, would have never had it done, and would still be struggling with something that destroyed my feelings of self-worth for almost twenty years. Dr. Beaty went out of his way to remember me telling him several appointments prior that I was so frustrated with this struggle. His efforts to genuinely listen and have the newest and best technology have changed my world! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Several months ago, I began looking at photographs and noticing that my face looked longer and “sloppier.” For some reason, “sloppier” was the word that kept popping into my head- if it even is a word. When I would zoom in and try to determine what exactly was going on, I just hated the new droopy wrinkly look of my face.

And then I began really investigating. I pulled up as many younger vs. older pictures on my phone that I could find and I began zooming in more and more. I hated the old lady jowls and loose skin that I was now really seeing.

Then I began doing medical research. Over and over again, I kept seeing this very new and very successful treatment called Profound and this incredibly respected doctor in Atlanta who was one of the few in the country who had the certification, the equipment, and the credentials to perform it.

I spent a few days thinking about it and then took a deep breath and called for a consultation with Dr. Beaty. Once I arrived at the consultation, I was immediately impressed with the calmness, the beauty, the serenity, and the overall sense of efficiency in the office from all of the staff. The staff was impeccable in their knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. When I walked into his personal office and we sat down, Dr. Beaty allowed me time and room to spill my guts as to what I was frustrated with and what options there might be. He let me show him as many pictures as I had. For a very long time.

And then he proceeded to honestly and clearly tell me what he thought. He walked me through the ideas that I had considered and he told me several times “I don't think that you need that done.” And in each instance I was essentially saying what about this major procedure, what about this more expensive option, and each time he said, “ If it were me, I don't think it is necessary” or “If it were my wife, I would tell her that she did not need that.”

I have always respected that when someone says that. I feel like at that point, it's very easy to try and manipulate someone who is honestly willing to do just about anything for their well-being. He could have recommended everything! But instead, he ethically and with a kindness I do not think anyone could possibly fake, gave me his sincere attention and began his assessment.

He took some pictures, looked at my face closely, asked lots of questions and then begin to give me his recommendation. It never felt like a sales pitch and it never felt as if he were talking over my head or talking to me as if I were beneath him. He gave me as much information about Profound as he had and he explained the benefits of the procedure and the steps in the process all from a personal perspective. What I mean from that is he said phrases like “and based on what your face looked like in the pictures from when you were younger” and “given that you do not need this done yet” and “hold this mirror and let's look at this right cheekbone" and it all made perfect sense because it was about me and not just the brochure lingo. Then, he told me to go home and think about it. And so, I took his words and the information home and I researched it a little bit more... if that were even possible... and I decided at that point that I was going to have the procedure done.

Almost as soon as I decided to have the procedure done, I knew that I had made the right decision.

The results are amazing. I look great and feel great, but in so many ways, I am just as happy to have discovered the kindness and intellect in a doctor that I have been searching for for quite some time. We all hope to find that perfect doctor for areas that are important to our own health concerns. Dr. Beaty is that doctor!

Recently had a Brow lift, and eye lid surgery performed by Dr. Beaty.
Couldn't be happier with the results! Dr. Beaty is a very talented artist, and has a terrific bed-side manner too. Always very patient, and answers every question that you may have.
I would highly recommend him and his staff if you are considering cosmetic surgery.

Cherylyn Woody took me through the entire process; I felt entirely at ease and confident before I made the not-always-so-easy decision to make a wanted change.

Mid-forties man with those irritating love handles and excess mid-section weight. After two rounds of CoolSculpting (and no weight loss or other dietary changes) the extra fat around the mid-section is greatly reduced. A great decision and investment. You choose: One million sit-ups, or two hours with Dr. Beaty's staff.
