Award Winning Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Benjamin Stong Celebrates the 15-Year Anniversary of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery

Dual board-certified surgeon Dr. Stong celebrates 15 years of excellence, earning 11 consecutive Castle Connolly Top Doctor honors. He is recognized for pioneering the Perialar Lip Lift, receiving extensive national media coverage, and delivering exceptional, natural-looking outcomes in facelift, rhinoplasty, lip lift, and other facial cosmetic procedures.

ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Benjamin Stong, founder of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, proudly celebrates the 15th anniversary of his esteemed Buckhead practice, marking a decade and a half of delivering exceptional results in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Since opening its doors in 2010, Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery has become synonymous with surgical excellence, innovative techniques, and compassionate patient care throughout the Atlanta region and beyond.

This milestone anniversary reflects Dr. Stong's unwavering commitment to advancing the field of facial plastic surgery while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. As a dual board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeon, Dr. Stong has distinguished himself not only through his elite credentials but also through his groundbreaking contributions to the specialty, including his development of the revolutionary Perialar Lip Lift procedure—a technique that has garnered peer recognition as a potential new gold standard in lip enhancement surgery.

Dr. Stong's excellence has been consistently recognized by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which has named him a Top Doctor annually since 2015—an impressive 11 consecutive years of peer-nominated distinction. This prestigious recognition, awarded to fewer than 7% of the nation's physicians, underscores Dr. Stong's position among the most respected facial plastic surgeons in the country.

"Reaching this 15-year milestone is both humbling and inspiring," says Dr. Stong. "When I founded Kalos in 2010, my vision was to create a practice where artistry meets medical precision, and where every patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique aesthetic goals. Over the past 15 years, we've had the privilege of helping thousands of patients achieve transformative results while advancing surgical techniques that benefit the broader medical community."

Castle Connolly Top Doctor Recognition and National Media Acclaim

Throughout his career, Dr. Stong has been sought after by national media outlets for his expertise in facial plastic surgery. He has been featured on WABE 90.1's highly respected NPR program "Closer Look with Rose Scott," where he discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his international humanitarian work and domestic practice. His insights have been quoted in RadarOnline articles analyzing cosmetic procedures of celebrities including Christina Aguilera and Kourtney Kardashian, demonstrating his recognized authority in evaluating complex aesthetic concerns.

Dr. Stong was prominently featured in Life & Style magazine discussing the transformative role of cosmetic surgery in cancer recovery, specifically commenting on supermodel and actress Angie Everhart's post-thyroid cancer facelift. More recently, in 2025, Dr. Stong appeared on The Bitcoin Fellowship YouTube show, showcasing his pioneering approach to accepting Bitcoin in medical practice—positioning Kalos as one of the first facial plastic surgery practices in the nation to embrace cryptocurrency payments. He has also been featured in Authority Magazine's interview series on healthcare innovation and recognized multiple times as a Top Patient Rated Plastic Surgeon by Find Local Doctors (2015, 2017, and 2025).

Perialar Lip Lift Innovation and Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Stong's commitment to innovation is exemplified by his development of the Perialar Lip Lift, a groundbreaking modification of traditional lip lift techniques. Unlike conventional subnasal lip lifts, Dr. Stong's technique removes tissue around the nostrils in addition to tissue beneath the nose, providing superior elevation to the entire lip—including the corners—while minimizing scarring and creating more stable, longer-lasting results. This innovation has been endorsed by leading facial plastic surgeons nationwide, with experts noting its potential to become the new gold standard in the field.

His expertise has earned him faculty positions at the prestigious Global Aesthetics Conference, where he has presented his Perialar Lip Lift technique to audiences of distinguished physicians and industry leaders in 2023 and 2024. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery's state-of-the-art Buckhead facility, Dr. Stong offers comprehensive procedures including extended deep plane facelifts performed through mini facelift incisions, revision rhinoplasty, upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat transpositioning, and his signature Perialar Lip Lift. His innovative "bruise-free injectable technique" uses specialized blunt-tip cannulas to deliver fillers and neuromodulators with minimal swelling, bruising, and downtime.

Beyond his main surgical practice, Dr. Stong founded The K Spa, a premier medical spa offering the latest non-invasive rejuvenation treatments, and Kalos Hair Transplant, specializing in advanced hair restoration using state-of-the-art NeoGraft® Follicular Unit Extraction technology.

Humanitarian Commitment and Elite Training

Dr. Stong's dedication extends beyond his practice. He serves on the national Face to Face committee, providing pro bono reconstructive surgery to victims of domestic violence through partnerships with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) and the Partnership Against Domestic Violence of Atlanta. He regularly travels internationally to provide free cleft lip and palate surgeries to children with congenital deformities and participates in the Faces of Honor program, offering reconstructive services to military veterans injured in combat.

Dr. Stong graduated at the top of his class from Emory University before earning his medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He completed his general surgery internship and residency at Emory University's Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, followed by an elite fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery under Dr. Andrew Jacono in New York. Dr. Stong is dual board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), placing him among a select group of surgeons with the highest level of specialization in facial plastic surgery.

"Our success over these 15 years is a testament to the trust our patients place in us and the dedication of our outstanding team," Dr. Stong adds. "We look forward to many more years of helping patients achieve their aesthetic goals while advancing the art and science of facial plastic surgery."
