Helping You Look Your Best

By Cyndi Braun

Its a new year, and time to take a good, long look at yourself.

Remember a few years ago when you noticed those tiny lines on your face? Are they not so tiny anymore? Or, did you lose a lot of weight recently (hooray!) but need help losing that excess skin? Do you have some other body feature that has always bugged you?

Now is the perfect time for a change. Whether you seek a subtle change or major cosmetic surgery, Plastic Surgery Center of the South is ready to help you look your best.

Two Decades of Quality

Twenty years ago, three prominent plastic surgeons joined together to establish a new practice conveniently located off I-75 in Marietta. The four doctors currently with the practice have more than eighty years of combined experience in the field.

From the beginning, Plastic Surgery Center of the South has treated patients like valued family members. Staff members make patients feel comfortable from the moment they step into the office. Surgeons explain procedures carefully, offer options, and answer questions. Patients never feel rushed.

Its no wonder that many patients come back for additional procedures and refer friends and family.

Full Range of Services

Plastic Surgery Center of the South offers a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical, for male and female patients of all ages.

Common procedures include body contouring, breast enhancement, face sculpting and medical spa services, reconstructive surgery after cancer and accidents, facial fractures, hand trauma, burns, and lacerations. As master injectors, physicians administer all injections, including Botox, and injectable fillers.

Most surgical procedures can be performed onsite, with the assistance of a medical anesthetist and a well-trained surgical team.

The office contains an independent, comprehensive surgical facility with two state-certified operating suites and recovery areas. This ensures patient privacy and a nurturing environment. If more extensive cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is required, all four surgeons have staff privileges at WellStar Kennestone Hospital located across the street.

The facility also has an extensive medical spa where patients can receive treatments like CoolSculpting, microneedling, microdermabrasion, and photo rejuvenation. The spa has several lasers, including their newest GentleMax Pro, to provide procedures like hair removal, smoothing away fine lines, and eliminating brown spots.

For More Information

Before deciding on a procedure, patients should schedule a consultation, so they understand options and costs. Many patients are surprised at how affordable plastic surgery can be.

Meet the Doctors

Dr. James Leake is one of the founding partners and has more than thirty years of surgical experience. Known for his straightforward approach, Dr. Leake takes his time with patients to educate them about procedures. He is board-certified in plastic surgery.

We dont rush patients in and out of here. Everybody gets the amount of time they need and deserve, said Dr. Leake. I enjoy seeing the positive change in my patients after cosmetic surgery. For many people, cosmetic surgery improves their self-esteem and confidence.

Dr. Michael Petrosky is one of the founding partners and has been a plastic surgeon for more than 25 years. Double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, Dr. Petrosky is known for his easy-going attitude and honest advice.

I find it especially rewarding when I can perform a surgery that makes a difference in a persons life, said Dr. Petrosky. I enjoy plastic surgery because it is artistic. Plastic surgeons need to be able to see in a three-dimensional way, and they have to be good with their hands. Every case is a little different.

Dr. Corey Harkins joined the practice in 2014. Dr. Harkins blends the latest innovations with time-tested techniques to produce beautiful results. With specialized training in reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, and maxillofacial surgery, Dr. Harkins is board-certified in plastic surgery.

I always knew I wanted to be a surgeon. I like the finesse of plastic surgery. Im very particular about everything, and I find that plastic surgery best suits my personality, said Dr. Harkins. Besides cosmetic-related surgeries, we can restore form and function with reconstructive surgery.

Dr. James Depew joined the practice in 2017. A board-certified surgeon and plastic surgery specialist, Dr. Depew has training in cosmetic, traumatic, and cancer reconstructive procedures. Dr. Depew is certified in general surgery and board-eligible in plastic surgery.

While completing a surgical oncology rotation during my residency, I appreciated the profound impact of reconstructive procedures for cancer patients, said Dr. Depew. I enjoy the opportunity to look at problems outside the box and figure out new and creative ways to solve problems.
