Atlanta, Georgia Breast Enhancement Procedures – Breast Lift, Reduction, Reconstruction and More from Southern Plastic Surgery
Modern cosmetic surgery techniques have made breast enhancement surgery much safer and more reliable than ever. At our Atlanta practice, Dr. Whiteman is skilled in breast lift, reduction, and reconstruction procedures, as well as male breast reductions. We invite you to browse through our information on the breast enhancement procedures offered at our practice, and contact us if you have any questions.
Breast Lift
Over time, breasts begin to give in to the effects of gravity as the skin slowly loses its elasticity. Severe weight loss or gain, childbirth and breastfeeding, or other lifestyle factors can speed this process, leaving your breasts drooping and sagging. However, thanks to modern plastic surgery techniques, you’re no longer forced to simply accept these new changes! At the Atlanta office of Dr. Whiteman in Georgia, a breast lift procedure can give you younger-looking, perkier breasts. By removing excess skin and re-shaping the remaining tissue, Dr. Whiteman can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.
Our Atlanta , Georgia, practice often combines breast lift surgery with breast augmentation to restore firmness and a higher breast position to breasts that have sagged or lost volume. While a breast augmentation can produce added firmness and a fuller figure, it cannot help with the problems of sagging or redundant skin that can occur over time or following pregnancy.
By combining breast augmentation with a breast lift, a woman can achieve the higher, firmer breasts she had in youth while also enhancing her cup size. Now, with the recent FDA approval of silicone breast implants, you have even more options for your procedure. If you live in or around the Atlanta , Georgia area and think a breast lift with breast augmentation might be the right choice for you, contact Southern Plastic Surgery for more information or to set up an initial consultation.

Breast Reduction
Particularly heavy or pendulous breasts can create more than just aesthetic problems. The added weight can cause severe neck and back problems, and bra straps can cause serious lines and indentations in the shoulders. From his Atlanta area practice in Georgia, Dr. Whiteman has been performing breast reduction surgeries—also called reduction mammoplasties—for over a decade. During the breast reduction procedure, incisions are made on the underside of the breast from the nipple, and excess skin and tissue are removed.
As breast reduction surgery is often performed in order to solve a medical problem rather than merely for aesthetic purposes, many medical insurance companies will cover some or all of the cost of the surgery. Contact our office in Atlanta , Georgia to find out if your breast reduction may be covered by your insurance company.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Treatment)
Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from a Greek phrase meaning “woman-like breasts,” and though the term may not be very well-known, it is actually a very common condition, affecting an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. The breast glands can grow to unusual size in some males, resulting in embarrassingly large breasts. Dr. Whiteman can perform male breast reduction surgery, on those who qualify for the procedure, to remove the excess tissue and skin, for a chest that you can be proud of.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction helps women who have had one or both breasts removed due to cancer or another disease. Using the latest technology, breast reconstruction can produce natural-looking results that can help you regain your confidence and self-esteem.
Breast reconstruction is a complicated procedure that is different for each and every patient, and largely depends on the patient’s condition and individual situation. In addition to performing their breast reconstruction surgery, Dr. Whiteman has helped many breast cancer patients come to a greater understanding of their condition by helping set up a “buddy system,” in which one cancer survivor meets and discusses the condition with another.
