Dr. Levi Young’s Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa: Focused on Excellent Results

Dr. Young is an experienced surgeon who focuses solely on cosmetic surgery with procedures including breast and facial surgeries and body contouring while his Med Spa offers a variety of injectable, laser, and skincare services and products. “I pride myself on offering procedures and products in my practice that I can assure patients are well-researched, proven safe and will achieve real results,” Dr. Young said.

Now Available: PRP for Hair Loss and Skin Tone
According to John Hopkins Medicine, platelet-rich plasma. or PRP, “uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area” and can be used for hair loss and skin rejuvenation in addition to joint injuries, post-surgical healing and osteoarthritis. “We’re really excited to offer PRP at our med spa,” Dr. Young explained. “We draw a patient’s blood and spin it in a centrifuge, then pull off the plasma, which is rich in stem cells and other growth factors.” The resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected into the target area. “The injectables can help with hair loss and skin tone.” Dr. Young has also had success using the method in other places and ways. “We’ll inject the under eye, where many people have dark circles, and it works really well. We’ll also do it in combination with micro needling, which helps smooth the skin tone, giving you a fresher look.”

An Artist’s Eye
One of the things that differentiates Dr. Young from other cosmetic surgeons is that he is an active artist; his charcoal drawings decorate his practice. “I feel that one of the unique things about me that sets me apart from my peers is I am an artist. It helps me evaluate my patients during consultations and it helps me in the operating room to see and anticipate results,” he said. “My creative mind and my ability to do artwork translates into better plans and better outcomes for my patients.”

Using his artistic eye, Dr. Young offers two unique surgical procedures that his patients love. The first procedure is a mastopexy augmentation. “This procedure is when you’re getting implants at the same time as your breast lift.” These are often done separately with months of healing in between. “I do it in a single stage,” he said. “I do it routinely with incredible results that I’m very excited about and proud of. Also, I have evolved some of my techniques with my abdominoplasty. I do liposuction of the upper abdomen and the love handle flanks area when I do a tummy tuck, which gives women a more feminine waistline.” He added, “The belly button seems like a small thing, and with tummy tucks, that’s a compliment I get from a lot of my patients who say, ‘I looked at before-and-after pictures and your belly buttons just look better than everybody else’s.’ That’s definitely something that has brought patients into my office.”

Focused on Fantastic Surgical Outcomes
Dr. Young loves his job. “It is just so fun for me to go through the visualization process with patients. I would sit down with you and we would talk about your goals. What do you want the outcome to look like? Why and how do you want to feel about it?” he affirmed, “It’s so fun for me to have those conversations and be able to take the time to explain what we can do, the steps we’re going to take, and the decisions we’re going to make to arrive at those goals.” Then, after the surgery, “It’s fulfilling to have you come back happy and excited. It’s so much fun to walk a patient through that process and then see them just ecstatic on the other end. I get the occasional fist pump from a husband who’s watched his wife dressing differently, carrying themselves differently, and how confident she is, how excited she is.”

Advanced Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa is conveniently located at Roe Avenue and 135th Street in Leawood. Dr. Young’s surgicenter, Kansas City Ambulatory Surgery Center, is a mile away at 135th Street and Mission Road. “The purpose of being part-owner of the surgicenter is to improve my patients’ experience because I can control the quality of the patient experience. All we perform is cosmetic surgery at the surgicenter, which means everything is geared toward cosmetic patients, which improves the entire experience for patients and leads to better quality and better outcomes,” Dr. Young concluded. ®
