Dr. Benjamin Stong Marks 15 Years of Excellence in Facial Plastic Surgery

Celebrating 15 Years of Transformative Care at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery

Dr. Benjamin Stong, a highly respected figure in the field of facial plastic surgery, proudly commemorates a remarkable milestone: the 15th anniversary of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, situated in the heart of Buckhead, Atlanta. Since its inception in 2010, the practice has set the standard for surgical excellence, characterized by innovative techniques and a commitment to compassionate patient care.

Unwavering Commitment to Expertise

Dr. Stong, who is both dual board-certified and fellowship-trained, has consistently pushed the boundaries of facial plastic surgery. His noteworthy achievement includes the innovative Perialar Lip Lift technique, which has drawn significant attention nationwide and is viewed by many as a promising new gold standard in lip enhancement procedures. His dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed; Dr. Stong has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for an impressive eleven consecutive years, a distinction awarded to only a small fraction of the nation’s physicians.

In reflecting on this significant anniversary, Dr. Stong shared, "When I founded Kalos in 2010, my vision was to establish a practice that harmonizes artistry with medical precision. Over the years, we have had the privilege of aiding countless patients in attaining transformative results, all while advancing surgical techniques that benefit our medical community as a whole."

Media Recognition and National Acclaim

Dr. Stong's expertise in facial plastic surgery has made him a sought-after contributor to various national media platforms. His insights have graced programs like WABE 90.1's "Closer Look with Rose Scott," where he discussed the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on both his domestic practice and international humanitarian efforts. Moreover, he has provided expert commentary for RadarOnline, evaluating cosmetic procedures of high-profile celebrities such as Christina Aguilera and Kourtney Kardashian. His voice has been amplified through various channels, making him a well-respected authority in deciphering complex aesthetic concerns.

Notably, Dr. Stong has been featured in Life & Style magazine, addressing the pivotal role of cosmetic surgery in recovery from cancer, exemplified through insights on supermodel Angie Everhart’s post-thyroid cancer facelift. In a forward-thinking move, he also made headlines in 2025 by discussing his practice's acceptance of Bitcoin, positioning Kalos among the first in the facial plastic surgery field to embrace cryptocurrency for payments.

Innovations in Surgical Techniques

The development of the Perialar Lip Lift underscores Dr. Stong's commitment to surgical innovation. This technique departs from traditional methods by excising tissue around the nostrils, leading to enhanced elevation and a reduction in scarring, crafting longer-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results. The positive response from fellow surgeons has positioned this technique as a potential new standard in lip enhancement procedures.

At Kalos, patients can expect a wide range of state-of-the-art surgical options, such as extended deep plane facelifts performed through mini incisions, revision rhinoplasty, and his signature Perialar Lip Lift. Utilizing an innovative “bruise-free injectable technique,” he employs specialized blunt-tip cannulas to administer fillers and neuromodulators, ensuring minimal downtime for patients.

Beyond surgical services, Dr. Stong has expanded his offerings through The K Spa, a medical spa that provides cutting-edge non-invasive rejuvenation treatments, and Kalos Hair Transplant, which utilizes advanced NeoGraft® technology for hair restoration.

Humanitarian Efforts and Elite Training

Dr. Stong's commitment to care extends beyond the confines of his practice. He actively participates in the national Face to Face committee, providing pro bono reconstructive surgeries to domestic violence survivors. His humanitarian work is complemented by international missions, offering free surgical interventions for children born with cleft lip and palate deformities and reconstructive services for veterans injured in combat.

A graduate at the top of his class from Emory University, Dr. Stong earned his medical degree at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. His extensive training included a residency at Emory's Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and a prestigious fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery under Dr. Andrew Jacono.

The Road Ahead

As Dr. Stong reflects on these 15 years, he recognizes the dedication of his exceptional team as a core factor in the practice’s success. He looks forward to continuing to assist patients in achieving their aesthetic aspirations while pushing the boundaries of the art and science of facial plastic surgery well into the future.
