Millions of women seek breast augmentation surgery each year to enhance smaller breasts, correct asymmetry, or boost their self-esteem. With the popularity of this surgery at an all-time high, there are many options for women regarding technique and implant type. Our practice helps breast augmentation patients in Atlanta achieve the fuller, perkier chest they’ve dreamed of.
Mammaplasty is a surgical treatment whereby the volume and form of a woman’s breast tissue are enhanced using implants. Because each woman’s body is different, each surgery is individualized to fit her body type and end goals.
During your first consultation with our team, we’ll review your current health status and discuss which surgical techniques will be most effective for achieving your goals. For women who have sagging breasts due to age or childbearing, a breast lift procedure may be discussed as well.
Breast augmentation patients are supported by a highly trained team led by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Bahair Ghazi, Dr. John D. Symbas, and Dr. Kendall Brooks. With advanced training from Emory University and the University of Virginia, they bring decades of experience in breast surgery and reconstruction, as well as a refined understanding of proportion, balance, and natural aesthetics.
Our clinical team — including physician assistants, nurses, and anesthesia professionals — ensures every step of the process feels clear, comfortable, and personalized. Procedures are performed in our AAAHC-accredited surgical center, where safety, privacy, and a calm environment support beautiful, confident outcomes.
Why Choose Breast Augmentation Surgery?
There are many benefits for women, both physical and psychological. One of the biggest benefits of a breast enhancement procedure is the boost to self-confidence. Breasts are a vital part of the childbearing process; they are uniquely feminine, and they can contribute to a woman feeling sexy. Regardless of the reason you feel a need to change your body, one thing is certain: patient satisfaction is a major benefit of the procedure.
Asymmetrical Breasts
When the size difference is very noticeable, it can make a woman feel abnormal or self-conscious. Surgery can correct this asymmetry and help a woman feel more at ease with her body.
Sagging
Can be corrected with surgery. Whether this sagging and loss of volume have occurred due to age, weight loss, pregnancy, or other reasons, adding implants can restore the body to its rightful state and help women regain the body image they once had.
Small-chested
Having an augmentation can not only boost confidence but also make women feel more attractive. Many women (and men) consider a full, ample bust line to be sexy. Women with smaller breasts can feel as though they are lacking the curves associated with femininity. Moving ahead with this procedure can alleviate that anxiety and make them more comfortable with their body.
Illness or an Accident
The loss of contour and shape is common among women who have survived cancer. Having surgery to enhance or reconstruct a damaged breast can make a woman feel complete again and help not only the physical healing process, but the emotional one as well.
No matter what your reasons are for wanting breast augmentation surgery, Atlanta Plastic and Reconstructive Specialists is here to support you on your journey.

Breast Augmentation Consultation
Every cosmetic procedure begins with a consultation. The consultation serves multiple purposes, primarily providing an opportunity for you to get to know your surgeon and vice versa. A cosmetic procedure requires trust from both the patient and the surgeon. Taking the time to feel comfortable with one another ensures a good working relationship and the best possible results.
Consultations are also a time to ask questions and gather information. It is important to understand the process associated with your breast enhancement procedure so that you know what to expect. This can help alleviate any anxiety you may have regarding the surgery.
The consultation is also a time for your Atlanta plastic surgeon to gather pertinent health information. Just as you need all the information to move forward with confidence, the surgeon needs to understand you and your body to offer the best possible recommendations.
Breast Implant Surgery Details
The procedure involves making an incision under the seam of your breast, circling your areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or under your armpit. The implant is placed either beneath your breast tissue or under the chest wall muscle. Incisions are closed with care to make the scar as unnoticeable as possible.
There will be some time and discomfort associated with surgery, but it is easily manageable. The results of your surgery will be visible soon after, and you’ll be free to enjoy your newly transformed body.
Regardless of the reason for your surgery, Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists can help you achieve your breast aesthetic goals. Don’t dream of having the breasts you’ve always wanted, take the first step and schedule your consultation today.
Whether you desire to repair naturally misshapen breasts, enlarge size, change the look post-childbearing or age, or improve an individual’s self-image, we can help you gain the desired result.
How to Choose the Right Breast Implant Size
If you are considering breast implants or breast augmentation in Atlanta, you may be wondering what size is ideal. Don’t think in terms of cup sizes; they are too subjective to use as a basis for your decision. A C cup on one woman can look completely different on another. A woman could be a 34B in one brand of bra and a 36A in another. Cup sizes can even vary within a single manufacturer’s product lines. Instead, think in terms of what will fit your body proportionally. Your personal target size will depend on many factors:
- Physical Activity: If you are a golfer, runner, or serious athlete, keep in mind that breast size can affect your physical activities.
- Maternity: If you plan to have children in the future, this can result in a permanent change in breast size and may necessitate having the implants replaced. The effect of maternity on breast size can vary.
- Symmetry: One reason for getting breast implants is lopsidedness. Sometimes, one breast implant is all you need to create an even appearance.
- Weight and Ergonomics: Breast implants will add weight and alter the dynamics of your musculoskeletal system. Be sure to let the surgeon know if you have back, neck, or joint problems.
- Aesthetics: Consider how your breast size will affect how people perceive you. For example, if a patient loves the look of obviously large breasts but has a shy or reserved personality, she may receive more outside attention than she is prepared for.
When preparing for breast implant surgery, you can wear a variety of “sizers” to see what your profile will look like with the new breast size. To get a clearer sense of which size is ideal, it can be helpful to bring a couple of different shirts to try on. Make sure you are happy with how you look, whether you are wearing a t-shirt or a cocktail dress.
Breastfeeding & Breast Implants
One of the most common questions our Atlanta breast augmentation patients have is whether or not they can breastfeed with their implants. While breastfeeding with implants is safe, proper breastfeeding can depend on the incisions used to place the implants. Our surgeons will use one of two incision patterns. The first involves making an incision along the breast fold. Because the incision is placed close to the nipple, the milk ducts may be at risk, interfering with a woman’s ability to breastfeed. If you plan on nursing in the future, our surgeons may recommend making an incision under the armpit, away from the nipple and milk ducts.
For best results, our surgeons recommend that women have breast augmentation only after they plan on not having any more children. A woman’s breast tissue and skin elasticity change after pregnancy and nursing, affecting the shape and size of the breast. Once the breast size and shape are stabilized, our team of surgeons can design a surgical treatment plan to achieve the patient’s cosmetic goals best. Depending on the patient’s concerns, our surgeons may suggest breast augmentation and/or breast lift to improve the size, shape, and position of the breasts.
Debunking Breast Augmentation Myths
- “You have to have breast implants replaced every five years.” This is one of the most common erroneous thoughts about this type of cosmetic surgery. Breast implants can last decades in many cases. Some patients do end up coming back to have their implants replaced, but this is more often because they want to have their breasts lifted or to change the shape or size. If your implants feel hard or don’t look as good as they used to, call your surgeon to talk about a revision surgery. If they are still soft and look the way you want, there’s no need to replace them.
- “Everyone will be able to tell.” Today’s breast augmentation procedures and materials are designed to help your implants look as natural as possible. Your surgeon will talk to you about choosing implants that are the right size for your body frame and current size; this will help avoid the appearance of having breast implants. Although implants do not feel as soft as your natural breasts, they should not feel hard. Your surgeon will give you advice that will help keep your breasts feeling as natural as possible.
- “Silicone can leak all over your body.” Decades ago, a type of implant was often used that allowed silicone liquid to leak and migrate. Today, this type of implant is no longer used. Instead, the silicone implants are made so that if they were to break in some rare circumstance, the silicone would stay put. To reassure you further, it’s important to note that there were no autoimmune problems or cancers linked to leaking silicone implants, even in the late 20th century, when they were used.
