- Medical Weight LossEventually, many new moms lose the excess weight. However, even then, some find that the weight loss is not proportional to the amount of fatty tissue in a given area. For example, many moms experience their new post-pregnancy look to present smaller breasts despite the fullness of the waist and abdomen.
- PregnancyThe shape and the size of the breasts also adjusts during and after pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnancy usually causes the breasts to increase or decrease in cup size. Also, once the mom finishes breastfeeding, the breasts tend to deflate and begin to sag. The mommy makeover procedure addresses the cosmetic breast issues that develop post pregnancy.
- Labor and DeliveryWhen the rectus abdominis muscles are separated, there is a potential impact on both health and aesthetics. Health problems include lower back pain, bad posture and hernia. This condition is most associated with women who have gone through childbirth. If the appearance of your tummy is affected, plastic surgery procedures like a diastasis recti repair are recommended.
- Colon Cancer“Having three c-sections and two surgeries from colon cancer left me with an undesirable looking abdomen. After a lot of thought, I decided to visit the office of Dr. Mark M. Jones for a consultation to discuss having a tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr. Jones was highly recommended for these procedures and I was specifically interested due to his no drains technique. I decided to schedule the procedure to have an abdominoplasty with liposuction. I can honestly say it was very painful afterwards and I had to take it easy, but the office staff was very professional and caring in helping me post procedure. Now I feel wonderful! It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I look wonderful and Dr. Jones has changed my life. My family and friends are all amazed at how I look now. I would use Dr. Jones for all surgeries. He and his staff are the best!!”

- UltrasoundSecond, Dr. Jones uses of both the traditional, or closed, wound and the less common open wound liposuction to accurately remove all the undesired fatty tissue. Atlanta Tummy Tuck expert Dr. Jones complements the two types of liposuction with solid probe ultrasound/laser. The closed wound liposuction is where the surgeon sucks out the fatty tissue from under the skin with a thin tube. The open wound liposuction is where the surgeon makes an incision to open the area to be able to see where the fatty tissue has accumulated and then proceeds to shape the area. Dr. Jones takes advantage of both methods, allowing for more accurate removal of the unwanted fat tissue. Once he completes the closed liposuction and the solid probe ultrasound to remove the bulk of the unwanted fat, Dr. Jones employs open liposuction to directly and individually thin and sculpture the fatty layers. Open liposuction also allows for greater control and retention of blood vessels (less bleeding) and the lymphatic system (less seroma).

- General SurgeryTwelve years of surgical training followed; two years were spent in general surgery with the first at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina, and the second in Baltimore, Maryland. Four years of rigorous training followed at the world-famous John Hopkins Hospital specializing in facial surgery. At Hopkins, the emphasis was on the face, the head and neck, nasal anatomy, the sinuses, ear surgery, and neck structures. The fourth year at Hopkins, Dr. Jones became a faculty member and was active in teaching and directing surgical residents specializing in ear, nose, and throat surgery (ENT). This was followed by three years at the renowned Plastic Surgery program at Stanford University in California where many pioneering events in Plastic Surgery have taken place.

- BotoxBotox is injected frequently to diminish fine wrinkles in the face by paralyzing the facial muscles that cause contraction wrinkles (which ultimately develop into static wrinkles). This is performed in the office with or without numbing creams prior to injection.
- Eyelid SurgeryNobody has suspected I have had eyelid surgery which is what I desired. However, my husband keeps mentioning how the surgery made a difference, and a couple friends have commented on how great I look−and rested−even with a small baby.
- LiposuctionIf you have fat deposits anywhere in your body that are proving impossible to shed, tumescent liposuction may provide an effective treatment solution. These fat deposits can persist in the face, neck, chin, breasts, midsection and other noticeable areas. Patients who are suffering from body image issues as a result of excess fat can regain confidence after tumescent liposuction.
- Breast AugmentationWhy choose Dr. Jones’ Invisible Scar Technique (IST) for your breast augmentation surgery ? You should choose this method because with IST, the scar is virtually invisible. Dr. Jones cannot detect the location of the incision 6-12 months post surgery in about 85% of the cases. In the remaining 15% of the cases, Dr. Jones has been able to find the scar, with difficulty. He assigns the credit to what he has coined the “Stanford stitching and the Paris trick”. Stanford stitching is a special way to close the incision so that the width of the scar is minimized. He picked it up while he was a resident at Stanford University. In Paris, he learned a trick that allows him to remove the stitches easily and painlessly, leaving the healed wound unaffected.

As a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Jones is uniquely skilled in enhancing both the aesthetic features and the natural functionality of the body.
- Breast LiftBreast lifts can also be combined with breast implant surgery if your breasts have lost volume in addition to becoming saggy. This condition is common after pregnancy and breastfeeding, but can also result from aging. Many women simply want their breasts to look the way they did when they were younger or before they had children, and a breast lift with or without implants can create a more youthful appearance.
- Rhinoplasty“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Jones at Piedmont Hospital. One of my biggest concerns was the heal time as I needed to return to work ASAP. This worked for me and I recommend it for anyone else considering a rhinoplasty or any other facial surgery for that matter. When I came out of surgery I woke up with ice packs over my nose. I used the ice packs as much as I could for the first 48 hours, I applied Revision Vitamin K cream (Dr. Jones’s aesthetician, Bella, carries this in his office), and Bromelain and Arnica combo pack (Also available at Dr. Jones’ office) and was able to return to work on Monday from surgery on Friday. Thanks Dr. Jones and staff for getting me back to work!“

- Face LiftWe also call it naturally uplifting (or NU) facelift. It uses a Belgian technique Dr. Jones modified to rejuvenate multiple facial areas with a much less invasive procedure and shorter scars than a traditional facelift. Dr. Jones removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles of the face that contribute to aging. Recovery is also quicker than when using traditional facelift techniques.
- BlepharoplastyI had blepharoplasty surgery at Dr. Jones office under local anesthesia. It was truly an “easy in and easy out” surgery. My husband drove me to the office and took me back home. The entire procedure took less than two hours. Holly and Bella were most caring and considerate making sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Jones’s credentials and his bedside manner earned my full trust in him. He even had a special technique to numb the surgery area; I barely felt the pinches. Also, Dr. Jones patiently answered all my questions and with the confidence he spoke about the process, alleviated all my concerns. He clearly knew what he was doing throughout the procedure.
- AbdominoplastyThe lipo-abdominoplasty procedure can take up to four hours to perform. In most cases, patients can return home the same day. Drains are used to remove fluid from underneath any skin flaps. Dr. Jones will also use a compression garment and abdominal binder to aid in recovery. The binder is worn for several months after surgery and Dr. Jones will make recommendations related to activity levels during the recovery period.

- Skin CareIn addition to the droopy eyelids gone, the skin around my eyes is less wrinkled. The emerging crow’s feet are almost gone and the skin just feels and looks younger. I credit these side effects to not just the surgery, but the skin care regimen Bella recommended for me before and after the surgery. With hesitancy I went with it (I used think no cream on the surface of the skin can reduce wrinkles) and now I am left a believer in Bella and Obagi.
- MicrodermabrasionIf you have small scars on the face or body, Dr. Jones can most likely improve the look or better camouflage them via a quick and easy office procedure. He may excise the scar and repair it with an advancement flap, rotational flap, Z-plasty, or a running W-plasty. Alternatively Dr. Jones may try to blur the scar into its surrounding skin using microdermabrasion or TCA peel.
