If you or your loved one is living with a vascular malformation in the Atlanta area, Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery offers advanced, patient-centered care backed by medical excellence and innovative treatment solutions. Vascular malformations can be complex, lifelong conditions that often require multidisciplinary evaluation, thoughtful diagnosis, and a strategic treatment plan. Many patients in Metro Atlanta are unsure where to begin or how to find a qualified specialist who understands both the cosmetic and medical implications of these conditions. At Kalos, we help bridge that gap—providing clarity, support, and highly specialized care every step of the way. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, our practice is recognized for delivering safe, effective, and lasting treatments that improve both health and appearance.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
What Is a Vascular Malformation?
Vascular malformations are congenital abnormalities of the blood vessels, present at birth but often becoming more noticeable over time. These can affect both children and adults, and commonly appear on the face, neck, or extremities. Left untreated, they may lead to complications like pain, bleeding, or vision issues.
In Fulton County and the greater Atlanta area, nearly 1 in 500 children are diagnosed with some form of vascular anomaly—making early and expert intervention especially important. While general knowledge and diagnosis may start with a pediatrician or dermatologist, many patients are referred to Kalos for our specialized skill set and our ability to offer targeted, results-driven treatments.
Our Treatment Approach in Atlanta
At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, we use cutting-edge technology to treat vascular malformations safely and precisely. Dr. Stong will carefully evaluate your condition based on location, depth, and type, and design a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Laser Therapy (ideal for port-wine stains and superficial malformations)
- Surgical Excision for deeper or complex lesions
- Compression Therapy for symptom relief
- Multidisciplinary Collaboration if needed for complex cases
Our practice is conveniently located in Buckhead – Atlanta’s premier medical district – offering easy access for patients throughout the region. Our office is equipped with advanced imaging tools, medical-grade lasers, and the supportive resources necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment.
