“Being black and excellent is not an act, it is who I am. It is who we are. Black excellence is not a new, trendy word that has just captivated the world. It is our history, our heritage. Black excellence is the name of our superpower. Black excellence highlights the strength that continues to prevail against trial and tribulations we have faced. Black excellence is a crown placed on a pedestal for us. Black excellence is the color of my skin. Happy Black History Month.
Dr. Michael E. Jones
Founder of Lexington Plastic Surgeons
African American history is a beacon of change and hope. We should all do our due diligence to highlight and celebrate people of color for their contributions and brilliance in this country. We encourage everyone to learn about many of the Black heroes that have devoted their services and inventions to society, to support Black-Owned companies, and to continue to push the narrative of equality and inclusion.
Lexington Plastic Surgeons is one of the few Black-Owned practices in our nation and is the leading facility for keloid surgical procedures. Keloids can be genetic and more often affect people of color. Our preventative Keloid Care cream and ScarShield cream which incorporate shea butter, aloe, and hydrocortisone were created by Lexington Plastic Surgeon founder Dr. Jones to help prevent and stop the growth of keloids.
