## 5 Plastic Surgery Myths Debunked by Dr. Nicholas Jones By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [5 Plastic Surgery Myths Debunked by Dr. Nicholas Jones By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/5-plastic-surgery-myths-debunked-by-dr-nicholas-jones/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/5-plastic-surgery-myths-debunked-by-dr-nicholas-jones/index.html.md))

**Description:** Get the facts behind common plastic surgery myths from board-certified Dr. Nicholas Jones. Read the truth, then schedule your consultation today.

### Content

## Introduction

Every week, I meet patients in my Atlanta practice who’ve been misled by something they read on social media, something they heard from a friend, or some viral video that they saw on TikTok. Plastic surgery has definitely become more accessible, but misinformation is everywhere—and **plastic surgery myths** often create *fear or false expectations*. At our [Atlanta plastic surgery clinic](/), we’re here to set the record straight.

I’m [Dr. Nicholas Jones](/meet-dr-jones/), and here are five of the most common **plastic surgery myths** I hear, along with the real facts you should know before heading into the OR.

## Myth #1: Liposuction is a weight loss solution 

**Reality:** **Liposuction** isn’t about the scale—it’s about shaping.

[Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) removes stubborn fat pockets, not pounds. If your goal is to drop 50 pounds, liposuction isn’t the answer. It’s designed for patients near their ideal weight who want to contour areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs for *refined body contours*.

“Think of lipo like sculpting clay—not melting it.”

## Myth #2: A flat tummy just takes diet and exercise

**Reality:** You can’t crunch your way out of loose skin.

[Tummy tucks](/body/tummy-tuck/) aren’t about laziness—they’re about **diastasis recti**. After pregnancy or major weight loss, you may be left with loose skin and separated muscles. No amount of planks will fix that. A tummy tuck repairs and tightens your abdominal wall for *long-term results*.

“If you’ve done the work and still feel stuck—it’s not your fault. It’s your anatomy, and unfortunately, you can’t change it!”

## Myth #3: Breast implants must be replaced every 10 years

**Reality:** If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

This outdated **plastic surgery myth** keeps circulating, but today’s [breast implants](/breast/breast-augmentation/) are safer and longer-lasting. Unless you have complications or want a change, you don’t need to replace them every 10 years. Many patients go 15+ years with *no issues*. 10 years is the manufacturer's recommendation, and by law they have to have a recommended time of replacement. Regardless if you chose to replace your implants, remember to get your screening mammograms or surveillance study as recommended by your plastic surgeon!

“You only need a replacement if your body—or goals—change.”

## Myth #4: Mommy Makeovers require brutal recovery

**Reality:** Combining surgeries often reduces your overall downtime.

A [Mommy Makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/) often includes a tummy tuck, [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), and [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/)—but that doesn’t mean a nightmare recovery. Most patients feel strong within 2–3 weeks, and with **modern pain management**, it’s very manageable. This may or may not be the right solution for you, but a thorough face-to-face consultation can aid in setting the exact treatment plan for your desired look.

“One surgery. One recovery. One transformation.”

## Myth #5: Non-surgical treatments work just as well as surgery

**Reality:** They’re great for touch-ups—not transformations.

[Botox](/non-surgical/botox/), CoolSculpting, fat-melting injections, and RF skin tightening all have their place—but they don’t replace [surgical contouring](/body/body-contouring/). These treatments offer subtle changes over time. For dramatic results, like removing loose skin or sculpting a waistline, surgical options are *more effective*.

“If you need a home renovation, don’t bring a paintbrush—bring a contractor.”

## Let’s Set the Record Straight, Together

My goal is to help you cut through the noise, understand your options, and feel empowered in your decision. Whether you’re considering a Mommy Makeover, [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), or simply have questions, I’m here to give you honest answers—and **beautiful results**.

## 5 Supercharged Habits to Maximize Your Weight Loss Medication Results (Atlanta) By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [5 Supercharged Habits to Maximize Your Weight Loss Medication Results (Atlanta) By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/5-supercharged-habits-to-maximize-your-weight-loss-medication-results-atlanta/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/5-supercharged-habits-to-maximize-your-weight-loss-medication-results-atlanta/index.html.md))

**Description:** 5 Supercharged Habits to Maximize Your Weight Loss Medication Results (Atlanta) To know more, call our Atlanta, GA office at (404) 777-TUCK today!

### Content

Achieving significant weight loss is a journey often supported by lifestyle changes and medical intervention. As a board-certified plastic surgeon at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, I've witnessed the transformative power of **weight loss medications** when combined with healthy habits. We believe in a *holistic approach*, emphasizing sustainable lifestyle changes to enhance and maintain your results.

Here are five science-backed habits I've seen help patients maximize their **weight loss medication benefits**:

## 1. Diet Makeover & Consistent Meal Timing:

Diet modification is a simple yet powerful strategy. Focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting refined sugars found in sodas, juices, processed carbs, and sweets. These sugars can lead to blood sugar spikes and insulin resistance, hindering weight loss.

Research shows regular mealtimes regulate metabolism, aiding weight loss. One of my patients, Michelle, found setting fixed meal times controlled her appetite and significantly improved her medication's impact. Smaller, more frequent meals can also be beneficial. This approach helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, promoting weight loss.

## 2. Embrace High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):

*High-intensity interval training (HIIT)* is a proven way to burn calories quickly and effectively. HIIT can also increase your metabolic rate post-exercise more than traditional jogging or weight training, leading to increased fat loss and muscle building. Building muscle provides a better foundation for your skin, preventing loose skin after weight loss and supporting [body contouring](/body/body-contouring/) results.

## 3. Hydration is Key:

*Staying hydrated* is crucial when taking weight loss medications. Water helps these medications work more effectively by aiding the body in processing and removing waste and toxins. Additionally, drinking plenty of water can help reduce hunger and prevent overeating.

## 4. Evening Fasting:

Setting a cut-off time for eating in the evening can significantly enhance the effects of weight loss medications. Depending on your lifestyle, establish a time after which you avoid eating. This habit helps regulate your body's digestion and sleep cycles, contributing to better metabolism. Late-night snacks can disrupt your basal metabolic rate, making it harder to burn calories while you sleep. Consider removing snacks and sodas from the bedroom and aiming for an earlier bedtime.

## 5. Prioritize Quality Sleep:

Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep for weight loss. Lack of sleep disrupts hormone levels that control appetite, so getting adequate rest is essential. Studies show that well-rested individuals are more likely to lose fat than those who are sleep-deprived.

## Conclusion:

**Weight loss medications** can be a powerful tool, but they work best alongside positive lifestyle changes. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, we believe in a holistic approach to weight loss, focusing on medication, nutrition, physical activity, and mental well-being. Remember, weight loss is not just about the scale; it's about enhancing your overall quality of life.

## Ready to take charge of your weight loss journey?

Contact Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta today to [schedule a consultation](/contact/) with [Dr. Nicholas Jones](/meet-dr-jones/), an [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), and explore your options. We can help you create a personalized plan to achieve your weight loss goals and live a healthier life.

## Beyond Liposuction: Plastic Surgery with Energy Devices for Tight Skin & Definition (Renuvion, FaceTite, VASER) By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [Beyond Liposuction: Plastic Surgery with Energy Devices for Tight Skin & Definition (Renuvion, FaceTite, VASER) By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/beyond-liposuction-plastic-surgery-with-energy-devices-for-tight-skin-definition-renuvion-facetite-vaser/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/beyond-liposuction-plastic-surgery-with-energy-devices-for-tight-skin-definition-renuvion-facetite-vaser/index.html.md))

**Description:** Learn how energy devices like Renuvion, FaceTite, and VASER boost liposuction skin tightening and definition—schedule a consultation today.

### Content

Achieving a refined, sculpted physique is a common goal for many seeking cosmetic surgery. Advances in technology now offer targeted solutions beyond traditional [liposuction](/body/liposuction), providing **skin tightening** and high-definition contouring. Here’s a closer look at Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER, all available at our [Atlanta plastic surgery center](/).

## Renuvion: Revolutionary Skin Tightening

**Renuvion** is a cutting-edge technology that combines helium plasma with *radiofrequency energy* to tighten the skin dramatically. This combination allows for a precise application of energy, which heats the underlying skin tissues to stimulate collagen production while cooling the surface almost instantly.

Benefits:

  - Significant Skin Tightening: Ideal for areas of loose skin following weight loss or liposuction.

  - Minimal Recovery Time: It can be combined with awake [liposuction](/body/awake-liposuction/), and you can return to work in a few days.

  - Versatility: It can be used in various body areas, including the abdomen, face, arms, and thighs.

Best For:

Patients looking to enhance the skin’s tightness and elasticity without requiring more invasive procedures. It’s particularly beneficial for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who may not want to undergo a bigger surgery like a [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/) or an [arm lift](/body/arm-lift). It also works well in patients with good skin quality who respond well to collagen stimulation.

## FaceTite/BodyTite: Focused Contouring

FaceTite and BodyTite utilize radiofrequency to tighten the skin. This technology delivers controlled heating to the targeted fat cells and surrounding tissue, causing fat to liquefy for easier removal and stimulating collagen for skin contraction.

Benefits:

  - Dual Action: Fat reduction and skin tightening in one procedure.

  - Precision: Targeted application allows for more detailed contouring.

  - Reduced Recovery Time: Less invasive than traditional lifts, with a quicker return to normal activities.

Best For:

Individuals seeking more defined contours with additional skin tightening. It’s particularly effective for those with moderate skin laxity and localized fat deposits, offering a *minimally invasive alternative* to more extensive surgeries.

## VASER: High-Definition Liposuction

The [VASER liposuction](/body/vaser-liposuction) technique uses ultrasonic waves to break apart fat cells before removal. This technology allows for selective targeting of fat, preserving surrounding tissues and promoting smoother results.

Benefits:

  - High-Definition Results: Enables precise sculpting and definition, highlighting underlying musculature.

  - Gentler on the Body: Less traumatic than traditional liposuction, with reduced bruising and swelling.

  - Versatility: Effective on dense, fibrous areas, making it suitable for larger fat removal volumes and fine-tuning.

Best For:

Patients aiming for a sculpted, athletic appearance. It is also beneficial in patients seeking revision liposuction or who had previous surgery in the area being treated. VASER is ideal for creating sharp contours and revealing underlying muscle tone, often called “[high-definition](/body/high-definition-liposuction) liposuction.”

**When to Consider These Technologies**

Choosing between Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER depends on your specific goals, the areas you wish to address, and your skin condition. Here’s Dr. Jones's Quick Guide:

The decision between Renuvion and BodyTite is mostly a surgeon's preference. I have personally used both, but I like Renuvion more. It’s easier to use and does not take as much time. As a result, I can offer skin tightening at a lower cost to my patients.

Vaser is often used for patients looking to have a more sculpted look. However, it can also be used in any liposuction case for a more refined look. Any patient undergoing liposuction can benefit from Vaser application as it aids in minimizing swelling, provides a smoother result, and reduces bruising. 

**The Science Behind the Results**

All three technologies harness *radiofrequency, helium plasma or ultrasonic energy* to target fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This dual approach removes unwanted fat and encourages the skin to contract and tighten, addressing the issue of skin laxity that can sometimes follow fat removal.

**Conclusion**

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER are all powerful tools that can elevate **high-definition liposuction** results, offering patients a range of options to achieve their desired aesthetic results. By understanding each technology's unique benefits and applications, patients can make informed decisions about their cosmetic surgery journey. Schedule your consultation today!

## Can A Massage Help My Tummy Tuck Heal Faster?Dr. Nicholas Jones

**Link:** [Can A Massage Help My Tummy Tuck Heal Faster?Dr. Nicholas Jones](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/can-a-massage-help-my-tummy-tuck-heal-faster/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/can-a-massage-help-my-tummy-tuck-heal-faster/index.html.md))

**Description:** Learn how lymphatic massage eases swelling after tummy tuck or liposuction and speeds recovery. Get expert tips and schedule a consultation today.

### Content

So you did all of the research, you knew exactly what you wanted to flatten, tighten, and tuck, and you made the move to get your dream procedure and new look. Your surgeon told you it would take some time for the swelling to go down. You just didn't realize it would feel like this. You think something's wrong, and you call the doctor, and you are told the solution is...

...a massage?

It's true. A **postoperative lymphatic massage** is one of the most important ways you can *ease discomfort* and improve the pace of healing following trauma. At our [Atlanta plastic surgery practice](/), [lymphatic massages](/non-surgical/lymphatic-massage-cavitation/) are a part of our [procedure-specific recovery plans](/patient-resources/post-op-care/) for almost all our plastic surgery procedures, from [tummy tucks](/body/tummy-tuck/) to [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) to [Brazilian Butt Lifts](/body/brazilian-butt-lift/).

Why? Well, you just went through a big change (whether it was liposuction or another type of plastic surgery) and your body is adjusting. Your procedure has a big impact on your **lymphatic system**. To understand why massages can help improve your recovery after surgery, we need to explain how that part of your body functions.

## Your lymphatic system is like a cleaning crew for your body.

Think of your lymphatic system as your body's public works department. It moves fluid and toxins around and keeps your body from getting sick by collecting waste and moving it out of the body. It also sends in lymphocytes to help remove infections and waste from your cells. But when the system gets disrupted or overwhelmed (like after surgery), that leads to *swelling, sluggishness, or even illness*.

You can't blame your body. It's used to the way things are. A sudden change throws your system off its game, so when it's trying to figure out what's going on and why an area is suddenly damaged, it can start backing up with fluid and causing you to swell. A [postoperative lymphatic massage](/non-surgical/post-operation-care/) can help clear the traffic jam and get your body's cleaning crew functioning like normal again.

## How do I know I need a lymphatic massage?

You've already been through a lot. You decided to get that surgery because you wanted it or needed it, and the goal is that it has a positive impact on your quality of life. The recovery shouldn't be any harder than it has to be, but backups to the lymphatic system can unfortunately make it that way. *Swelling, lumps, and aches* in the treatment area are telltale signs that you could benefit from a postoperative lymphatic massage.

Think of the same massage you would get for sore muscles or a barking back. The feeling of relief is second to none, right? That's the same idea for a postoperative lymphatic massage. Using a highly-skilled relief technique, lymphatic massage therapists release the accumulated fluid so it can get moving again. This means your swelling can go down, and your body can better heal itself. The massages are performed in the area where there are lymph nodes and lymph fluid so it can be gently convinced to get back on track and get you feeling your best.

## What happens if I choose not to get a postoperative lymphatic massage?

Not everyone heals at the same rate. Have you ever seen someone up and moving around after surgery or getting sick and wondered, "how did they do that?"" Maybe they're just lucky, but there's no way to predict how everyone's body will react to certain situations.

On the other side of that are those who get the short end of the recovery stick. We went through the surgeries, and now our bodies are retaining a lot of fluid, and we are really uncomfortable. This can prolong our entire recovery process and make us miserable in the meantime as we deal with the swelling and discomfort associated with the fluid backup or blockage.

Post-operation lymphatic massages get those backups and blockages moving again, especially after very disruptive surgeries that remove cells from the body, like liposuction or abdominoplasty. The goal for most people who decide to get cosmetic surgery is to get to their end goal of looking great and feeling even better. That can be tough to do for some people who may have to deal with prolonged swelling.

**Prolonged backup or blockage of lymphatic fluid can have a permanent effect on the body**. If this fluid is in one place for too long, it can eventually harden and stay there permanently. A **post-operation lymphatic massage regiment** can help prevent that from happening for patients.

## When is the best time to get a Lymphatic Massage?

Many patients enjoy the benefits of the postoperative lymphatic massage treatment within the first week after surgery, as that helps the body *kickstart the healing process*. Many decide that multiple, one-hour sessions per week for the first month or so after surgery yield the best results before they scale it back to 30-minute sessions. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, we recommend our patients begin postoperative lymphatic massage treatment as early as the first few days after surgery in some cases. It can make that big a difference.

If you're experiencing pain or swelling following surgery, schedule a session for recovery care in Atlanta at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. No matter who did your procedure, our recovery experts can give you a second opinion on your recovery plan and provide immediate relief with a postoperative lymphatic massage.

### Content

Over the last month, a couple of celebrities made the public aware of complications they had as a result of cosmetic surgery.

Notably, American rapper, Cardi B, had to postpone her Femme It Forward tour to *recover from a recent plastic surgery procedure*. 

According to People magazine, the rapper's rep said, "Cardi was overzealous in getting back to work; she didn't take the time necessary to fully recover from her surgery."

[Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) is a popular plastic surgery procedure in which cannulas are used to break up and "suck fat" out of the body. Like many procedures, liposuction is done under the supervision of an anesthesia provider and a plastic surgeon.

It is routine to take off **one to two weeks before returning to work** and at least 6-8 weeks before resuming strenuous activity after undergoing liposuction of the body. It is important to know that lipoaspirate (the fluid and fat that is sucked out) is not just fat. It also contains other cellular components, including blood! If you can imagine, removing 5L of lipoaspirate, can cause a *significant drop in the hemoglobin*.

To put this in perspective, blood makes up about 7-8% of your total body weight, which would be about 4-5 liters (9 - 12 pints). 

Remember, liposuction is a **serious procedure** and you need to give your body time to recover with proper [post-op care](/patient-resources/post-op-care/liposuction/). Here are some tips:

  - Stay hydrated; hydrate before and after surgery

  - Caregiver to aid with assistance first 24-48 hours

  - Ambulate (move around at home to aid with your circulation)

  - Appropriate garment to aid in contouring and limit swelling

  - Before standing, sit over the edge of the bed to prevent orthostatic hypotension

  - Early lymphatic massages by a licensed therapist

Along his journey, Kanye has been upfront about opting for [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), revealing the depths of post-surgery pain he experienced and the subsequent challenge with opioids. His narrative serves as a vital reminder of the responsibilities both patients and doctors hold in the realm of **plastic surgery**. Understanding the procedure, its potential risks, and the importance of *post-operative care* is crucial. When Kanye was in a nearly fatal car accident that changed his life forever, he had to even get reconstruction work done on his jaw. You can hear about it in one of his hits, “Through the Wire.” Kanye's story emphasizes the importance of comprehensive consultations, trusting in a board-certified surgeon, and having a robust support system in place during the recovery phase.

## Blake Lively

Blake Lively first captured hearts during her "Gossip Girl" days, portraying the iconic Serena van der Woodsen. As the years passed, fans and followers have observed an evolution in her appearance. There's been speculation about *subtle changes*, particularly focusing on her nose and eyes, leading some to wonder about a potential [nose job](/face/rhinoplasty/) or [eyelid surgery](/face/blepharoplasty/).

Noticeable facial changes included reshaping her nose, softening her jawline, and a forehead lift – all aimed to provide a more feminized facial appearance. Additionally, she underwent [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/) to achieve a more traditionally feminine silhouette. Caitlyn also likely pursued [body-contouring procedures](/body/body-contouring/) to enhance her curves and further align her external appearance with her gender identity. Beyond the obvious physical changes, Caitlyn's transformation signifies the intersection of *personal identity*, confidence, and the capabilities of modern-day plastic surgery.

## Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen, widely recognized for her modeling career and vibrant personality, has never shied away from discussing her cosmetic journey. Unlike many celebrities, Chrissy has been refreshingly open about her decisions, like opting for [Botox](/non-surgical/botox/)—not just for cosmetic reasons but also to address excessive sweating in her underarms. A significant moment in her personal and cosmetic journey was her decision to remove her breast implants. Chrissy's openness about the process and her reasons behind it provided a candid look into the choices many consider for personal well-being and comfort. Through her transparency, Chrissy underscores the importance of making informed and *personal decisions* about one's body.

As with many stars of her magnitude, Beyoncé's appearance over the years has drawn attention and speculation. Notably, there have been murmurs regarding a [refined nose shape](/face/rhinoplasty/) and [enhanced facial contours](/face/chin-cheek-augmentation/). Moreover, some have commented on her skin’s radiant glow, wondering if it’s the result of specific treatments or just natural beauty. Queen Bey has kept her beauty choices under wraps, illustrating that **plastic surgery** can be both personal and private. This discretion serves as a powerful reminder that even in the spotlight, individuals have the right to their privacy and decisions regarding their bodies. Furthermore, it emphasizes that cosmetic choices, whether shared with the public or kept close to the heart, should be approached with respect and without judgment. In the end, Beyoncé's story underscores that beauty, in its many forms, is a deeply individual journey.

## Zac Efron

From his breakout role in "High School Musical" to his more mature roles, Zac Efron's journey in the entertainment industry has been marked by both his acting chops and evolving looks. Fans who've followed him since his early days have observed notable changes, especially in his facial features. There's been chatter about his [jawline](/face/chin-cheek-augmentation/) and other facial procedures, often creating buzz on social media and among fans. However, it's vital to approach such discussions with caution. Zac hasn't made any public confirmations about undergoing surgeries. His journey of transformation, both as an actor and in his personal life, remains a blend of talent, choices, and evolving style.

## Mommy Makeover: Customize Your Procedure for the Best Results Dr. Nicholas Jones

**Link:** [Mommy Makeover: Customize Your Procedure for the Best Results Dr. Nicholas Jones](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/how-to-customize-your-procedure-for-the-best-results/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/how-to-customize-your-procedure-for-the-best-results/index.html.md))

**Description:** Customize your Mommy Makeover for the best results! Learn how to tailor your procedure, recover safely, and achieve your aesthetic goals with expert tips.

### Content

## Introduction

Pregnancy, childbirth, and even significant weight loss can leave lasting changes on a woman's body—some of which can’t be reversed with diet and exercise alone. Many women struggle with loose skin, deflated breasts, and stubborn pockets of excess fat, making it difficult to feel comfortable and confident in their skin. That’s where a **Mommy Makeover** comes in.

A [Mommy Makeover procedure](/body/mommy-makeover/) is a combination of surgical procedures designed to restore and enhance a woman’s body after pregnancy or weight fluctuations. But here’s the thing—it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each Mommy Makeover surgery is completely customizable, allowing you to target the areas that matter most to you.

If you’re considering a **Mommy Makeover**, the key to achieving the best results is working with a *board-certified plastic surgeon* to develop a *surgical plan* tailored to your specific concerns. From a [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/) to a [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/) or even a [Brazilian Butt Lift](/body/brazilian-butt-lift/), you can design a makeover that aligns with your aesthetic goals. Let’s break down how to customize your Mommy Makeover for optimal results.

## What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a set of surgeries and treatments designed to help women regain their bodies after going through pregnancy. Many women notice changes in their bodies after having children, and this procedure aims to address those changes and help them feel more like themselves again. While the most common concern is loose skin around the abdomen, this transformation can also restore breast volume, tighten abdominal muscles, and remove stubborn fat that won’t budge, no matter how much you diet or exercise.

Most Mommy Makeover procedures include a mix of the following:

  - Tummy Tuck – Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles that may have separated during pregnancy.

  - Breast Surgery – This may involve a breast lift, breast augmentation, or both to correct sagging and restore lost volume.

  - Liposuction – Targets stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks for a slimmer midsection.

  - Fat Transfer or Brazilian Butt Lift – Enhances curves by using your own excess fat to add volume to the buttocks.

Because many women experience multiple concerns post-pregnancy, combining procedures into a single surgery can be a time-saving and cost-effective way to get the desired results while minimizing overall recovery time.

## How to Customize Your Mommy Makeover

One of the biggest benefits of a **Mommy Makeover** is that you’re in control. The best way to get optimal results is to design a surgical plan that addresses your specific concerns while keeping your lifestyle and *recovery time* in mind.

Here’s what to consider when customizing your procedure:

  - Breast Surgery: Do you need a breast lift to correct sagging, [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/) to restore breast volume, or a reduction to address overly large breasts? Some women opt for a combination of procedures to achieve a more balanced overall physique.

  - Abdomen: If you have loose skin or separated abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can tighten your midsection and create a smoother contour. [Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) can further enhance Mommy Makeover results by removing stubborn fat from surrounding areas.

  - Additional Enhancements: If you’re looking for more body contouring, consider a fat transfer or Brazilian Butt Lift to enhance your curves naturally.

During your Mommy Makeover consultation, your board-certified plastic surgeon will assess your body, discuss your desired results, and recommend the best procedures for you. The goal is to create a surgical plan that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your aesthetic goals.

## Preparing for a Safe and Successful Surgery

Once you’ve decided on your Mommy Makeover procedure, preparation is key to ensuring a safe and successful surgery. Your body needs to be in *optimal health* for proper healing, so focusing on pre-surgery care is just as important as the procedure itself.

Here’s how to prepare:

  - Maintain a Stable Weight: Fluctuations in weight can affect your final results, so it’s best to be at your ideal weight before surgery.

  - Support Your Immune System: Proper nutrition, hydration, and exercise improve oxygen delivery and healing.

  - Set Realistic Expectations: Every body is different. While a Mommy Makeover can dramatically improve your overall physique, understanding that results take time will help you feel more confident during recovery.

Choosing a board-certified surgeon ensures that your Mommy Makeover surgery is performed safely, with the highest level of expertise. Make sure to ask questions and understand the full scope of your procedure during your consultation.

## What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is a crucial part of the process, and knowing what to expect will help you navigate the first few weeks with confidence. Most women take about two to four weeks off from work and normal activities, depending on the extent of their procedures.

In the first few weeks, you’ll likely experience initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is completely normal. Wearing *compression garments* and following your surgeon’s post-op instructions can help minimize swelling and support proper healing.

Long-term results depend on maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding weight fluctuations. While the final results take a few months to fully develop, many women start seeing significant improvements in their body and self-confidence within just a few weeks.

## Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You?

A **Mommy Makeover** is an excellent option for most women who are done having children, in good health, and looking to restore their pre-baby body. The best candidates are at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, and are ready to commit to the recovery process.

If you’re unsure whether this procedure is right for you, the best next step is to schedule a Mommy Makeover consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your overall physique, discuss your desired results, and create a customized surgical plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

With the right planning and an experienced Mommy Makeover surgeon, you can achieve beautiful, natural-looking results that restore your self-confidence and make you feel like the best version of yourself.

## Final Thoughts

A **Mommy Makeover** isn’t just about plastic surgery—it’s about reclaiming your confidence and feeling great in your own skin. By working with a board-certified surgeon, setting realistic expectations, and customizing your Mommy Makeover procedure, you can get the best results safely and effectively.

If you’re ready to take the next step, book a consultation with a trusted [plastic surgery office in Atlanta](/) today. Your transformation starts here!

## Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck: Which One Do I Actually Need?

**Link:** [Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck: Which One Do I Actually Need?](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/liposuction-vs-tummy-tuck-which-one-do-i-actually-need/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/liposuction-vs-tummy-tuck-which-one-do-i-actually-need/index.html.md))

**Description:** For some patients, the issue is stubborn fat, and liposuction alone can make a real difference. For others, the bigger problem is loose skin or separated abdominal muscles — and in those cases, removing more fat won’t deliver the result they want. And for many patients, it isn’t one or the other. It’s both.

### Content

One of the most common questions I hear in body-contouring consultations is a simple one: *“Can I just get lipo?”* 

The honest answer depends on something that’s hard to judge from the mirror alone — **what is actually creating the contour you don’t like? **

For some patients, the issue is stubborn fat, and liposuction alone can make a real difference. For others, the bigger problem is loose skin or separated abdominal muscles — and in those cases, removing more fat won’t deliver the result they want. And for many patients, it isn’t one or the other. It’s **both. **

Understanding what each procedure is actually designed to do will help you have a far more productive conversation with your surgeon. 

## What Does Liposuction Actually Do? 
Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat sitting just under the skin in specific areas. I do this through very small incisions, using thin suction tubes called cannulas that are connected to a vacuum to gently draw the fat out. 

That distinction matters: liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. I use it to reshape specific areas by reducing unwanted fat and improving proportion. 

Common treatment areas include the: 

- Abdomen 
- Waist and flanks 
- Lower and upper back 
- Bra-roll area 
- Hips 
- Thighs 
- Arms 
- Chin and neck 

When I treat the torso, I rarely think about the front of the abdomen in isolation. The waist, flanks, and back all contribute to the overall silhouette. That’s the idea behind Lipo 360 — instead of treating the abdomen as one flat panel, we contour the entire circumference of the torso to improve the shape from every angle. 

## Who is a good candidate for liposuction? 
The ideal liposuction patient has localized excess fat with reasonably good skin quality. If you pinch your abdomen and the main issue is thickness from fat — while the skin still has decent elasticity — liposuction may be a good fit. 

But there’s an important limit: liposuction removes fat, not loose skin. In fact, removing volume from beneath skin that already has poor elasticity can sometimes make that looseness more noticeable. 

Which brings us to the tummy tuck. 

## What Does a Tummy Tuck Do? 
A tummy tuck — abdominoplasty — addresses the problems liposuction can’t. Depending on your anatomy, it can correct: 

- **Excess abdominal skin**. Pregnancy, major weight loss, and aging can leave skin that simply can’t retract on its own. 

## **Abdominal wall changes**. Pregnancy can stretch and separate the rectus muscles — a condition called diastasis recti. When appropriate, the abdominal wall can be tightened during the procedure. 

- **Lower abdominal contour.** Excess skin and tissue are removed so we can reshape the abdomen and reposition the remaining skin. 

So a tummy tuck is much more than “removing some skin.” It lets us address the skin envelope, the abdominal wall, and the overall contour in ways liposuction alone cannot. 

## The Simplest Way to Think About It 
Here’s how I explain it to patients: 

**Liposuction primarily treats fat. A tummy tuck primarily treats loose skin and abdominal wall laxity. **

But real patients don’t always fit neatly into one box. You might have loose abdominal skin and stubborn fat around the waist and back. Treat only the abdomen, and the surrounding torso can end up looking disproportionately full — which is exactly why combining procedures can create a more complete result. 

## When Do You Need Both a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction? 
This is extremely common in my practice. 

Picture a patient who’s had two or three pregnancies. She exercises, she’s close to her goal weight, but she still has loose lower-abdominal skin, muscle separation, fullness around the waist, love handles, and bra-roll or lower-back fat. 

Liposuction alone might improve the fat — but it won’t remove the loose skin or repair the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck alone might improve the front of the abdomen — but it may not address the fullness wrapping around the waist and back. 

For the right patient, combining a tummy tuck with Lipo 360 lets us treat multiple parts of the torso instead of one isolated area. The goal isn’t just a flatter stomach. The goal is better overall proportion. 

## Where Does Renuvion Fit In? 
Another tool I commonly use is Renuvion, which combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to contract soft tissue beneath the skin. In appropriately selected patients, I sometimes pair it with liposuction when a bit more soft-tissue tightening can improve the result. 

One place I find it especially useful is the back. For Lipo 360 or tummy tuck patients who have moderate looseness across the back — the kind that shows up as “bra rolls” — adding skin tightening can, in some cases, completely resolve those rolls. When the looseness is more severe, Renuvion won’t erase them entirely, but it can make them noticeably less prominent. 

**Renuvion is not a substitute for a tummy tuck in every patient. **

Skin laxity exists on a spectrum. A patient with good skin quality may need liposuction alone. Someone with mild-to-moderate laxity may benefit from liposuction plus a skin-tightening technology like Renuvion, BodyTite, or Quantum RF. But when there’s significant hanging or redundant skin — especially after pregnancy or major weight loss — no energy device can reproduce what surgically removing that excess skin achieves. This is one of the biggest reasons an in-person exam matters. 

## “I Really Don’t Want a Tummy Tuck. Can You Just Do More Lipo?” 
I understand the instinct. A tummy tuck means a longer incision and a more involved recovery than liposuction — so if the same result were possible with lipo alone, of course that would be the easier choice. 

But the procedure has to match the anatomy. If loose skin is the real problem, more liposuction isn’t better liposuction. Removing extra fat won’t make excess skin disappear, and in the wrong patient, aggressively reducing volume beneath loose skin can make it look even looser. 

My job in a consultation isn’t to tell you the answer you want to hear. It’s to explain which anatomical issues I see, what each procedure can realistically correct, and the tradeoffs that come with each. Sometimes that means telling a patient liposuction is enough. Sometimes it means recommending a tummy tuck. And sometimes it means being honest that doing less surgery won’t get them the result they’re picturing. 

What If I Have Loose Skin but Don’t Want the Tummy Tuck Scar? 

Every operation involves tradeoffs, and with a tummy tuck the tradeoff is accepting a lower-abdominal scar in exchange for removing loose skin and improving contour. 

When the anatomy allows, I position the incision so it can usually be concealed beneath underwear or swimwear — but there is still a scar. For the right patient, that tradeoff is absolutely worth it. For someone else, it may not be. There’s no universally “correct” answer; what matters is understanding what each option can realistically accomplish before you choose. 

Some patients simply want their clothes to fit better — and for them, liposuction alone may be the right call. But I only make that choice once the patient and I have agreed, clearly, that they’ll still have loose skin afterward, and that in some cases liposuction can make that looseness look worse. 

## What About Patients Who Have Lost a Lot of Weight? 
Major weight loss is a different situation. After losing 50, 75, 100 pounds or more — through lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, or medications such as GLP-1s — the problem is often no longer primarily fat. It’s excess skin. 

And that skin doesn’t always stop at the abdomen; it can extend around the flanks, lower back, and buttocks. For those patients, even a standard tummy tuck may not address the whole picture. A circumferential body lift can sometimes be the better option because it treats excess tissue around a much larger portion of the torso. Again — the operation follows the anatomy. 

## What If I’ve Never Been Pregnant? 
You don’t need to have had children to benefit from either procedure. Genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and prior weight loss all affect abdominal contour. 

I evaluate the same factors regardless of pregnancy history: 

- How much fat is present? 
- How much loose skin is present? 
- What’s the quality of that skin? 
- What’s happening with the abdominal wall? 
- How is the fat distributed around the torso? 
- What result is the patient trying to achieve? 

Those questions matter far more than a category based on age, weight, or pregnancy history. 

One thing I will bring up, though, is your future plans. If you’re hoping to have children down the road, a future pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles all over again and may mean a revision procedure later. I’m not trying to talk anyone out of moving forward — but if kids are in your near future, it’s usually best to wait until after you’re done having them. 

## So, Which Procedure Do You Actually Need? 
Here’s a useful starting point:

This isn’t a diagnostic tool — but it shows why two people who look similar in clothing can need completely different surgical plans. 

## The Procedure Is Only Part of the Equation 
When I evaluate a patient for body contouring, I’m not simply choosing between “lipo” and “tummy tuck.” I’m looking at the entire torso. 

The abdomen has to make sense with the waist. The waist has to make sense with the hips. The front has to transition naturally into the sides and back. And the operation has to fit the patient’s health, anatomy, goals, and recovery situation. 

That’s why I don’t think body contouring should be treated like ordering off a menu. We identify the problem first. Then we design the operation around it. 

## Ready to Find Out Which Option Is Right for You? 
If you’ve been exercising, losing weight, or working on your body but still aren’t happy with your abdominal contour, the first question shouldn’t be *“Do I want lipo or a tummy tuck?”* 

A better question is: *“What’s preventing me from getting the contour I want?”* 

Once we determine whether the issue is primarily fat, loose skin, abdominal wall laxity — or some combination — we can talk through the safest, most effective way to address it. 

**Schedule a consultation with Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta for a personalized body-contouring evaluation and a clear plan built around your anatomy and goals. **

The world of **Michelin stars** and plastic surgery might seem worlds apart, but both revolve around *excellence, precision, and an unparalleled experience*. As Michelin recently graced Atlanta with its 1-star accolades, I was both excited and proud to see several dining spots I’ve cherished: Atlas, Lazy Betty, Mujo, and Bacchanalia making the cut, with Hayakawa also earning a well-deserved spot, though I’ve yet to indulge there. These establishments, akin to the pinnacle of surgical finesse, offer an experience that’s nothing short of transformative. Join me as I journey through these **Michelin-starred restaurants**, drawing delightful parallels to the world of aesthetic excellence.

## Bacchanalia

Bacchanalia, a name that evokes a sense of indulgence and celebration, truly lives up to its reputation. Think of it as the ‘[mommy makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/)’ of the dining scene - instantly transformative, leaving a lasting impression. Whether you’re out for an *intimate evening* with your significant other or gathering with a group, the ambiance here flexes to accommodate, not unlike how we customize our treatments to individual needs. I’ve had the pleasure of dining here multiple times, and whether it’s a romantic evening with the Mrs. or a lively group outing, Bacchanalia seamlessly adapts. The cocktails? They’re masterpieces, much like the results we strive for in our clinic. The service sets the gold standard. And the food? Simply phenomenal. Whether you’re in jeans or donning a jacket, you’ll find yourself right at home. And while the four-course offering might seem like a lot, it’s just the right amount of indulgence. Plan for an early evening around 6 or 7, and post-dinner, the vibrant West Midtown awaits to continue your night of discovery.

The beauty of dining and aesthetic enhancements is in the *personal journey and experiences* they offer. Each has its own allure, its own story, and its transformative touch. Dive in, savor, and always seek the **best**.

## Mujo

When it comes to Mujo, think of it as having the “Signature Nip & Tuck Facial” of Atlanta’s dining scene: rejuvenating, detailed, and leaving you craving for more. This sushi haven is the epitome of intimacy, reminiscent of the personal care we provide in our clinic. Securing a reservation can be as challenging as booking a sought-after procedure during the holiday season, but once you’re in, the experience is unparalleled. For those passionate about sushi, it’s an essential visit. The beverage pairings are crafted with the precision of a surgeon’s hand, and I highly recommend exploring a few items off the menu to accompany your tasting. It’s a curated journey of flavors, much like the meticulous planning that goes into a cosmetic enhancement. The service? Arguably the best in Atlanta. If I were placing bets on which establishment would earn Atlanta’s first **Michelin star**, my money would be on Mujo.

Combining the essence of exquisite dining with the finesse of plastic surgery is a unique journey, and each establishment, like every procedure, offers a transformative experience. Always remember to enjoy the process and savor the results.

## Lazy Betty

Tucked away like a well-guarded beauty secret in Candler Park, Lazy Betty may appear unassuming, but it’s the results that count. Just like the transformative results we aim for in our clinic, the food here never fails to impress. I’ve visited five or six times, and each experience has been a rejuvenation for my taste buds. The intimate setting, whether at the chef’s counter or in the secluded back room, mirrors the personalized care we give to our clients. Opt for the 7-Course Tasting Menu paired with wine – it’s the full package, and it’s as refined as a well-executed [facelift](/face/facelift/). The added touch of caviar is like the perfect filler - subtle yet enhancing. The dishes may change with the seasons, but the culinary expertise remains consistently *top-notch*, just like our surgical techniques. If you’re planning for a shorter outing, the four courses will leave you satisfied.

## Atlas

Located in The St. Regis, the crown jewel of Buckhead and one of my favorite retreats, Atlas is like the pinnacle of cosmetic refinement – *sophisticated, elegant, and timeless*. Whether you’re looking to celebrate the holiday season or seeking a weekend staycation, the ambiance here is unbeatable. Just as we advise our patients to take a day off for self-care after a procedure, why not spend it at the St. Regis spa, followed by an unforgettable dinner at Atlas? If your night still yearns for a touch-up, extend the experience with cocktails at The Garden Room.

Excluding Hayakawa, which remains on my must-visit list, all these restaurants echo what we value in our [plastic surgery clinic in Atlanta](/): impeccable service, distinctiveness, and an intimate touch. Each establishment, much like a successful [rhinoplasty](/face/rhinoplasty/) or [abdominoplasty](/body/tummy-tuck/), retains its unique character while elevating the overall experience. 

## A few other favorites that may not have made the Michelin cut but still resonate with the precision and artistry we appreciate include:

## Bocco Lupo

Picture stepping into an environment that effortlessly elevates your spirits; Bocco Lupo is that kind of vibe. Think of it as the “[lip filler](/non-surgical/lip-augmentation/)” of dining - instantly enhancing, a game-changer. Reservations are as essential here as consultations in our clinic, ensuring you receive the tailored experience you deserve. If there’s one transformative dish to dive into, it’s the black spaghetti. As for cocktails, be adventurous and ask for the drink with the dill – it’s like the unexpected touch that elevates a look!

## Houston’s (West Paces)

Now, you might be raising an eyebrow – much like some of our clients after [awake liposuction](/body/awake-liposuction/) – thinking, “Houston’s? Really?” Trust me on this. Much like the age-old practices in cosmetic enhancement that stand the test of time, Houston’s, specifically the West Paces location, remains an unchanging favorite of mine. Think of it as the tried-and-true [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/) of Atlanta’s culinary scene: reliable, impressive, and always leaving a lasting impression. The experience here is holistic, a full-circle journey of satisfaction. Start at the bar, where camaraderie is the name of the game. You’ll bond with a stranger over a Hendrick’s Lemon drop before you know it. Appetite piqued? Dive into the spinach and artichoke dip, but pace yourself because the main act, the Hawaiian ribeye, is worth every anticipatory moment. And just when you think you’ve reached the peak, there’s the warm brownie à la mode – the perfect finisher, much like the final touches of a successful procedure.

In dining, as in aesthetic surgery, there’s always room for personal favorites and classics that stand firm amidst newer entrants. It’s about finding what resonates with you and enjoying the experience to the fullest. Whether it’s a **Michelin-star establishment** or a beloved local gem, every experience can be luxurious in its own way.

Congratulations to all the restaurants that made the list!

## Mommy Makeover Surgery: What to Expect Before and AfterBy Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified plastic surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [Mommy Makeover Surgery: What to Expect Before and AfterBy Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified plastic surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/mommy-makeover-surgery-what-to-expect-before-and-after/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/mommy-makeover-surgery-what-to-expect-before-and-after/index.html.md))

**Description:** Learn what a Mommy Makeover includes, recovery timelines, and typical costs in Atlanta. Schedule a consult with our board-certified plastic surgeons.

### Content

Having kids changes everything, including your body. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding change a woman’s body in ways that don’t always bounce back with time, exercise, or healthy habits alone. Many women struggle with loose skin, sagging breasts, stretch marks, or stubborn fat, things that simply don’t respond to a proper diet or workouts.

That’s why the **Mommy Makeover** exists.

A [Mommy Makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/) is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help restore areas like the abdomen and breasts after pregnancy. For many patients, this isn’t just about looking a certain way. It’s about *regaining self-confidence* and feeling comfortable in their skin again.

In this blog, we’ll walk through everything you should know about this popular cosmetic surgery, from what’s included to what recovery looks like and how much it typically costs. If you’ve been considering a Mommy Makeover or are just curious about the process, you’re in the right place.

## What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover surgery is not a single procedure. It’s a combination of procedures that are typically performed in one surgical session to address changes in the body after childbirth and breastfeeding. The goal is to restore the shape and tone of specific areas that often change after pregnancy, especially the abdomen and breasts.

Here are the most common Mommy Makeover procedures:

### Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/) removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens stretched abdominal muscles. It’s especially helpful if you have loose skin, stretch marks, or diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal wall), which can happen after pregnancy. This is one of the most commonly included procedures in a Mommy Makeover.

### Breast Surgery: Lift, Augmentation, or Both

Breast surgery after pregnancy usually involves a [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/), [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/), or both. A lift helps correct sagging breasts and reposition the nipples, while breast implants restore lost breast volume. Some patients may also consider [breast reduction](/breast/breast-reduction/) if their breasts became overly large or uncomfortable after childbirth and breastfeeding.

### Liposuction

[Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) is used to remove unwanted fat from multiple areas, like the flanks, hips, thighs, or upper arms. It’s not for weight loss, it’s for shaping specific areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

### Labiaplasty and Clitoral Hood Reduction (Optional)

Some women choose to include [labiaplasty](/body/labiaplasty/) or clitoral hood reduction to improve comfort or appearance after childbirth. These surgical procedures are always optional and based on individual concerns.

## How to Prepare for Mommy Makeover Surgery

Once you’ve scheduled your initial consultation with a board-certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), the next step is preparing for surgery day. Proper prep goes a long way in setting up a smooth recovery and better results.

### Health and Candidacy

You’ll need to be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and at or near your goal weight. Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting until you’re done having children, since pregnancy after surgery can affect your results. Many women choose a Mommy Makeover when they feel ready to focus on themselves again, whether that’s one year or ten years after childbirth.

### Setting Realistic Expectations

During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your body, discuss your goals, and explain what kind of *realistic results* are possible based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and lifestyle.

### Planning for Recovery Time

Depending on the combination of procedures, most women need two to three weeks off work and several weeks of avoiding heavy lifting. If you have small children, you’ll need help with childcare during the first part of recovery. You’ll also want to plan for one recovery period instead of spacing out surgeries over time, which is one of the big advantages of combining procedures.

### Pre-Surgery Checklist

  - Fill prescriptions ahead of time

  - Arrange for someone to drive you home

  - Set up a recovery space with pillows, loose clothing, snacks, and water

  - Prepare meals or have groceries ready

  - Make sure you have help around the house

Being prepared helps make the recovery smoother and reduces stress in those first few days after surgery.

## What to Expect During Mommy Makeover Surgery

**Mommy Makeover surgery** is typically done under general anesthesia and may take anywhere from three to six hours, depending on how many procedures are included.

Let’s look at what usually happens with each surgical procedure:

### Tummy Tuck

This is often the first step in a Mommy Makeover. The surgeon will make a low incision just above the pubic area, remove excess skin and fat, and tighten the abdominal wall muscles. The belly button may be repositioned. Compression garments are placed to reduce swelling and support healing.

### Breast Lift and/or Breast Augmentation

A breast lift removes sagging skin and repositions the breast tissue and nipples. If you’re adding breast implants, they’ll be placed during the same procedure. This part of the surgery addresses the loss of breast volume and improves shape and symmetry.

### Liposuction

Your surgeon will use a small tube (cannula) to suction out fat from specific areas like the hips, love handles, or thighs. This helps sculpt and balance the overall result.

### Labiaplasty (If Included)

This shorter cosmetic surgery procedure involves reshaping the labia minora and/or trimming the clitoral hood. Some patients include this to feel more comfortable in clothing or during physical activity.

After surgery, you’ll spend a few hours in recovery before going home the same day. Be sure someone is available to drive you and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours.

## Your Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline, Week by Week

**Mommy Makeover recovery** isn’t the same for everyone. It can vary depending on your overall health, which procedures you had done, and how closely you follow post-op instructions. But here’s a *general recovery timeline* that can help you know what to expect:

### Week 1: Rest and Initial Healing

  - Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal

  - Pain is managed with prescription medication

  - You’ll be wearing compression garments

  - Walking short distances is encouraged

### Week 2: Moving Around More

  - Pain improves but you’ll still feel sore

  - Stitches may be removed (if not dissolvable)

  - You’ll start feeling a little more like yourself

  - Avoid lifting, bending, or strenuous activity

### Weeks 3–4: Light Activity

  - You can usually return to desk work or low-impact activity

  - Exercise is still limited

  - Swelling starts to go down

  - Early results begin to show

### Weeks 5–6: Back to Daily Life

  - Many women can resume most daily routines

  - Some patients can begin light workouts with approval

  - Swelling continues to fade

  - Results become more visible

### Months 2–3: Fully Recovered

  - You should be cleared for full workouts

  - Final results are taking shape

  - Most patients feel confident and back to their pre-pregnancy shape

The total recovery period may be longer or shorter depending on the procedures included, but with proper care and time, **Mommy Makeover results** are long-lasting.

## Your Mommy Makeover Before and After: What Results Can You Expect?

The results of a **Mommy Makeover surgery** are designed to be both natural-looking and dramatic in the right ways. You may notice a flatter, firmer stomach, more lifted and fuller-looking breasts, and a smoother overall silhouette.

Most patients feel a major boost in self-confidence, not just because of how they look, but because they finally feel like themselves again.

Final results usually settle in around 3 to 6 months after surgery. Swelling will go down gradually, and scars will continue to fade over the following year.

Every result is different because every woman’s body and every combination of procedures is unique. If you're curious what’s possible, check out our [Before & After Gallery](/gallery/) to see *real outcomes from real patients*.

## How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Atlanta?

**Mommy Makeover cost in Atlanta** can vary depending on the procedures included, the surgeon’s experience, and the location. In the Atlanta area, the total cost typically ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 or more.

Factors that affect the cost include:

  - Type and number of cosmetic procedures

  - Surgeon’s fee

  - Anesthesia and operating room fees

  - Post-op care and garments

  - Prescription medications

Keep in mind, a Mommy Makeover combines several procedures into one surgical event, which can help save money compared to doing each surgical procedure separately. Plus, you benefit from one recovery period instead of multiple.

## Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You?

If you're in good health, done having children, and looking to restore parts of your body affected by pregnancy, a Mommy Makeover might be a good fit. It’s not about chasing perfection, it’s about feeling more at ease in your own skin.

Talk with a board-certified [plastic surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/) about your goals, and get answers to your questions during your initial consultation. This is your chance to build a plan that fits your body and your life.

## Quick Tips For Picking A Plastic SurgeonDr. Nicholas Jones

**Link:** [Quick Tips For Picking A Plastic SurgeonDr. Nicholas Jones](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/picking-a-plastic-surgeon/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/picking-a-plastic-surgeon/index.html.md))

**Description:** Learn how to choose a qualified plastic surgeon with board certification, safety, and results in mind. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicholas Jones today.

### Content

### Check the credentials.

Not everyone that practices medicine is actually qualified to do so. Be careful, there are many people out there performing surgery that have no formal training. Your doctor should be **certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery** if they are a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Other specialties such as otolaryngology may be just as skilled, I would recommend that you check the appropriate website. For plastic surgeons, you can check the following:[.block][American Board of Plastic Surgery surgeon search](https://www.abplasticsurgery.org/ModDefault?section=SurgeonSearch)

This means that your doctor has successfully graduated from medical school and completed one to two years of surgical training plus 3 or more years of plastic surgery training. In addition, your doctor has passed a written and oral exam certifying that he or she is *COMPETENT AND SAFE*. It is also worth checking the *state medical board site* to see if any disciplinary actions have been taken against your plastic surgeon.

### Do They Have Hospital Privileges?

Many surgeons only operate in surgical suites within their office or in surgery centers instead of maintaining **hospital privileges**. This can sometimes cut down on the cost and make your surgery cheaper. However, some patients may not be suitable candidates for an ambulatory surgery center or office-based surgery. This may include lengthy operations, underlying medical conditions that require monitoring, uncontrolled pain, and dehydration.

More importantly, if your plastic surgeon does enough operations, he or she will have complications. In the event that patients need more intense care (i.e.- IV antibiotics, cardiac monitoring, serial operations, IV pain medications), your surgeon will need to admit you to a hospital.

Be very weary of someone that professes to be a plastic surgeon that does not have privileges. You want a surgeon that will be there for you to guide you through your entire operation, even if there are problems. This is one of the key differences, a [board-certified plastic surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/) has the training to manage complications if they occur.

### Ask for Before and After Photos.

This may not always be readily available, but the proof is in the pudding! Being able to see your surgeon's work in [before and after photos](/gallery/) should add a level of comfort and help you with your expectations. You can also find a friend or associate that has undergone a similar procedure and inquire.

### Ask Lots of Questions.

Be prepared when you go in for your consultation. "How often do you perform this procedure?" "How many have you done?" "When can I go back to work?" Before you sign the consent form, make sure you are well informed. Make sure your surgeon understands your goals and expectations and you are confident and comfortable with the plastic surgeon you have selected. If is fine if you are not, there are many other **well-qualified plastic surgeons**!

## Plastic Surgery & Body Positivity: Can they Co-Exist?

**Link:** [Plastic Surgery & Body Positivity: Can they Co-Exist?](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/plastic-surgery-body-positivity-can-they-co-exist/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/plastic-surgery-body-positivity-can-they-co-exist/index.html.md))

**Description:** Explore how plastic surgery and body positivity can align—get tips for a confident choice and start your consultation today.

### Content

In today's world, the way we look at our bodies is changing. We hear a lot about loving ourselves just the way we are. But, at the same time, more and more people are choosing **plastic surgery**. Can these two ideas – getting surgery to change how we look and **body positivity** – exist together?

This is a big question. It's about how we see our bodies and how we accept ourselves. Some people think that if you get plastic surgery, you don't love your body. Others say that it's a way to make your body match how you feel inside, which is also a kind of *self-love*.

Let's look closer. We've talked to different people who have had [cosmetic surgery](/body/body-contouring/). Their stories show a mix of feelings and reasons. One person might have surgery to feel better about a part of their body they've always been unhappy with. Another person might do it to feel more like themselves after a big life change, like having a baby.

What's really interesting is how plastic surgery is changing. Doctors and patients are discussing how surgery can help people feel good about themselves, not just look a certain way. This new kind of thinking at a [plastic surgery practice in Atlanta](/) blends the idea of body change with body love. It's not just about fitting into a certain look. It's about each person's *unique journey* with their body.

Statistics are telling the same story. In recent years, there's been a significant rise in "**body-positive plastic surgery**." Reports show a 30% increase in surgeries done not for drastic changes but for subtle, personal enhancements. It's a shift from the "one-size-fits-all" idea of beauty to a more individual, self-focused approach.

So, can plastic surgery and body positivity exist together? It seems they can. It's all about why and how people choose surgery. If it's a choice made from self-care and love, then it surely fits into the big picture of body positivity.

This topic isn't black and white. It's full of different shades, just like our individual journeys with our bodies. What's important is that we respect each person's choice and understand that self-love can come in many forms – including, for some, plastic surgery.

I now apply these same principles to cosmetic surgery. For me, it's about making my patients look natural and *restoring confidence* so that they can be the best version of themselves. Plastic surgery and body positivity can exist in a harmonious way. As a [plastic surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/), we must listen to our patients and find the balance between the patient's desires and their underlying framework. It's a nuanced conversation where the choice of surgery, grounded in self-care and personal growth, aligns with loving and accepting our bodies.

Plastic surgery and body positivity can definitely co-exist. I personally went into plastic surgery because of the relationship I developed with breast cancer patients and aiding them in restoring their bodies as best as possible back to normal. It was life-changing for me, as well as my patients.

### WHY NIP & TUCK PLASTIC SURGERY IN ATLANTA, GA?

World-class cosmetic surgical procedures require the skilled hands and trained eyes of an [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/). Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA is the vision of nationally prominent and double board-certified surgeon [Dr. Nicholas I. Jones](/meet-dr-jones/).

Nip & Tuck is passionately dedicated to giving you a more youthful appearance and a renewed self-confidence, offered in a medical environment that provides you with uncompromising safety and personal comfort.

### MAXIMIZING YOUR RESULTS

Getting the most out of your cosmetic procedure doesn’t end when you leave the surgical facility. When your surgeon’s work is done, your contribution to attaining the results you want is in many ways just beginning.

Carefully following your doctor’s recommended [post-surgical recovery regimen](/patient-resources/post-op-care/) is an essential part of *maximizing the benefits of your procedure*. Let’s take a moment to outline how to best recover from two of the most popular procedures offered at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) and [Brazilian Butt Lift](/body/brazilian-butt-lift/).

### [LIPOSUCTION](/body/liposuction/) RECOVERY

You will stay in the care of the doctors and staff at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery following your liposuction surgery. Nothing is more important than your safety and comfort. But once you are back home following your successful liposuction surgery and are eager to display your “new and better you,” it’s the first time to “check all the boxes” needed to ensure your best possible recovery and results.

While liposuction can often be performed under local anesthesia, it is nevertheless an invasive procedure that requires *your post-surgical patience and diligence*. Liposuction will produce some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a couple of weeks. You’ll need to schedule at least a week away from work, and you will need to avoid anything other than *light physical activity* for up to eight weeks, depending on the size of the areas you had treated and how much fat was removed.

### KEYS TO A GREAT RESULT

**Read all the pre and post-op instructions prior to surgery!**

**Stay Hydrated**

  - Fluid losses can be substantial during surgery, it’s imperative to rehydrate your body.

  - You would be surprised how much your body actually loses; First, you have to stop eating and drinking the night before surgery, during surgery, your entire body can be exposed contributing to more fluid losses. There is also third spacing from the surgery, fluid escapes the blood vessels and slowly goes back into the intravascular space. Lastly, some patients are sluggish to orally hydrate which can further slow your recovery down.

  - Dr. Jones encourages his patients to prehydrate the week leading up to surgery, drink lots of water after surgery. If your urine is clear, chances are you are hydrated!

**Lymphatic Massages early and often**

  - The first massage is usually the most painful. We typically recommend one within the first 48 hours after surgery. It is imperative that you are well hydrated prior to having your massage so you don’t end up fainting!

**Wear your faja all the time except when showering.**

  - *Use layers*, avoid having the garment directly against your skin

  - Camisole > Foam > Garment

**IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, CALL US!**

You will also need to wear a compression garment over your surgical areas until your doctor determines they are no longer needed. You’ll be given specific instructions to follow prior to having your procedure. Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery will follow up with you regularly to monitor and promote your healing.

Once those stubborn fat cells have been removed through liposuction, they cannot return or “grow back.” However, you can still gain fat, especially in untreated areas, so it is very important to maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Patients who follow their doctors’ recovery recommendations report a very high level of satisfaction with their liposuction surgery.

### [BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT](/body/brazilian-butt-lift/) RECOVERY

Your bruising and swelling will generally peak in 3-4 days following your procedure. It is vitally important that you get out of bed and walk with assistance as soon after your surgery as possible to avoid post-operative complications.

*Avoid salty foods*, because they can prolong your swelling. Take any prescribed pain medication exactly as instructed. You will not be permitted to lie directly on your buttocks for at least four weeks. During that time, you will need to sleep on your stomach or your side (if you did not have fat transfer to the hips). Your doctor will let you know when it’s okay to sit for limited periods (using a “Booty Pillow”) and when you can return to work.

Smoking is an absolute “no-no,” since it can inhibit wound healing. Carefully follow your doctor’s instructions about properly maintaining drainage tubes and collection procedures. You can begin your six-month-long scar treatment program just as soon as your drains and sutures have been removed and the wound has closed. You’ll be required to wear an abdominal binder or compression garment at all times for two months after surgery, although it’s permitted to remove them to shower. Do not scrub your skin until your doctor approves it, and blot dry all of your incision sites.

It is vital that you keep your post-op follow-up appointments. Dr. Nicholas Jones will see you at least once within two weeks of your Brazilian Butt Lift, and then one month, six months, and one year following your surgery.

### NIP & TUCK PLASTIC SURGERY’S PROMISE TO YOU

The doctors and staff at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA are dedicated to helping you improve your appearance, your outlook, your self-esteem, and your quality of life. They have the training, the experience, and the “personal touch” required to maximize your results and satisfaction.

## What's The Deal With Textured ImplantsDr. Nicholas Jones

**Link:** [What's The Deal With Textured ImplantsDr. Nicholas Jones](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/textured-implants/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/textured-implants/index.html.md))

**Description:** The experienced team of Nicholas Jones, MD, FACS shares some insights on textured implants. To know more, call our Atlanta, GA office at (404) 777-TUCK today!

### Content

Well, [textured breast implants](/breast/breast-augmentation/) have been taken off the market in the US secondary to their association with a form of cancer. **Textured implants** were used by many plastic surgeons because of their stability. The outer textured surface allowed the surrounding tissue to adhere to the implant, thus holding their position. One other reported benefit was a lower rate of *capsular contracture*, however, literature conflicts with this proposed benefit.

**Breast-implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)** is a *rare form of cancer* that can develop around breast implants. To date, there are not any confirmed cases associated with smooth breast implants.

It is not breast cancer; it is a cancer of the immune system and is usually curable when caught early.

**What are some of the symptoms?**

  - Breast enlargement

  - Pain

  - Fluid collection in breast pocket (usually at least after one year)

  - Hardening of the breast

  - Lump in the breast

  - Skin rash overlying breast

**What should you do if you develop symptoms?**

  - [Schedule an appointment](/contact/) to see your healthcare provider

  - Following your exam, imaging studies should be performed to check for masses or fluid around your breast implants

  - Fluid or biopsy is done to rule out BIA-ALCL

**What if you have textured implants and you do not have symptoms?**

  - BIA-ALCL is a rare form of cancer and not every patient that has **textured implants** develop ALCL.

  - Follow-up with your [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) is important to discuss your options

  Options include
    

      - Watchful waiting

      - Removal of implants

      - Removal of implants and exchange with nontextured implants

    

  

**What is the treatment?**

  - 1st testing is done to assess if cancer has spread (PET scan)

  - PET scan will help determine the type of treatment

  - Surgery is done to remove the implant along with the capsule

  - Oncologist is involved for chemotherapy, for advanced cases, radiation and sometimes stem cell therapy.

## What You Need to Know

Losing weight is a satisfying accomplishment, but many people tend to conveniently avoid talking about the reality of the aftermath. Sometimes, that *loose, excess skin* has nowhere to go and causes your breasts to look many years older than they really are. You may also experience weight loss everywhere except the breasts, leading to an uncomfortable amount of volume that puts a strain on your back and shoulders. 

Whether you’re considering [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/), a [lift](/breast/breast-lift/), a [reduction](/breast/breast-reduction/), or a combination, **timing plays a huge role in getting the best, longest-lasting results**. Let’s dive into where you need to be in your weight loss journey before taking the next step with breast corrections.

Why Timing Matters for Breast Surgery

Right after significant weight loss, your body is still adjusting while your skin is trying to figure out where it wants to settle. If you rush into surgery too soon, you could end up needing revisions later on. The goal is to give your body time to stabilize so you can enjoy results that are as predictable (and stunning!) as possible.

## Weight Stability: The Golden Rule

The number one rule before going into breast surgery? **Your weight should be stable for at least three to six months before your procedure.** Fluctuating weight can impact your surgical results - if you lose more weight after surgery, your breasts could continue to shrink or sag. If you gain weight, your breast size may increase unpredictably, altering your results. Think of it this way: your surgeon is working with the body you bring to the table—so it's best if that body isn't still in *transition mode*.

**Pro Tip: Most surgeons recommend waiting until you're within five to ten pounds of your goal weight** and have maintained that weight for a few months before scheduling surgery.

## Skin Elasticity: Can Your Skin Bounce Back?

Weight loss doesn't just reduce fat—it also changes your skin's elasticity. Some people are lucky and have skin that snaps back beautifully, while others are left with loose or sagging tissue.

If your breasts have lost volume and now sit lower, a *breast lift (mastopexy)* may be needed to remove excess skin and reshape the breasts for a firmer, more youthful look. A breast lift is also often combined with augmentation (implants or fat transfer) to give you both perkiness and fullness if you also want to restore volume.

On the flip side, if you find that your breasts are still too large after weight loss and causing discomfort, a breast reduction can help bring them into better proportion with your new figure.

## Scarring: What to Expect & How to Minimize It

Unfortunately, almost all surgical procedures involving the breasts come with scars. The good news is that breast surgery scars tend to fade significantly over time. They are also typically placed in areas that can easily be hidden under a bra or bikini top.

Your surgeon will give you specific scar care instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure on incisions, using silicone-based scar treatments, staying hydrated and eating a nutrient-rich diet, and following post-op care guidelines to prevent excessive tension on the incisions.

## Maintaining Your Results: Long-Term Success Tips

You've invested time, energy, and money into achieving your ideal look—so how do you make sure your results last?

  - **Keep Your Weight Stable:** The same way weight loss before surgery affects results, weight fluctuations after surgery can lead to unwanted changes. Try to maintain a consistent, healthy weight.

  - Wear Proper Support: Gravity is real, and it doesn't take breaks. Wearing a high-quality bra that provides the right level of support will help maintain your breast shape and prevent premature sagging.

  - Prioritize Skin Health: Hydration, good nutrition, and using medical-grade skincare (including SPF!) can help keep your skin firm and healthy.

  - Follow Up With Your Surgeon: Routine check-ups with your surgeon ensure that your results remain in good shape and *allow for early detection of any issues*.

## Is Now the Right Time for You to Get Breast Surgery?

The best time to undergo any kind of breast procedure is going to be after your body has reached a stable, healthy weight and your skin elasticity has settled. Whether you're looking to increase volume, lift sagging tissue, or reduce breast size, there's a procedure designed to help you achieve the look and confidence you've worked so hard for.

Have you already achieved and maintained your goal weight (within a few pounds) for at least three to six months? As soon as you're ready to get started with your breast surgery, you can schedule a consultation with an [Atlanta plastic surgery practice](/) to discuss your breast goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon, assess your situation, and create a personalized plan. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, we've got you covered - the right timing and expert guidance can ensure your transformation is everything you imagined and more!

## The Difference Between Breast Augmentation and MastopexyDr. Nicholas Jones

**Description:** Compare breast augmentation and breast lift options, including combined surgeries, and get guidance on choosing the right approach. Book a consultation today.

### Content

When considering **breast enhancement surgery**, weighing all the options can be confusing and time-consuming. There are different types of implants and incisions. Sometimes, these surgeries are combined with other procedures like [tummy tucks](/body/tummy-tuck/) or [mommy makeovers](/body/mommy-makeover/), and often different surgeons have varied opinions on the best choices. With so many different possibilities, it’s best to start with the basics. When women want to enhance their breasts, the two most common changes involve *size increase* and *breast position*. In this article, we will take an overall view and discuss the two surgeries that cover these changes; [breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/) for size and [mastopexy](/breast/breast-lift/) for position.

## What is breast augmentation?

**Breast augmentation** is what most people think of when they consider getting breast enhancement or “a boob job” because the most common request for enhancement is breast enlargement. Breast augmentation changes the size of the breasts by adding either a natural or an artificial implant. *Silicone or saline implants* can be used and can help achieve a significantly larger cup size. Silicone implants are silicone only, and saline implants are made with a silicone casing that is then filled with saline via a syringe after its implanted. If something more subtle is the goal and you perhaps want to avoid a foreign substance in your body, another option for breast augmentation is the use of [fat transfer](/breast/fat-transfer-breast-augmentation/). [Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) is used in another area of your body to harvest adipose tissue. This fat tissue is then injected into your breast tissue to create enlargement.

There are also multiple different incisions that can be used for breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant and the desire to avoid significant scarring. Since a fat transfer breast augmentation only involves the injection of the transferred tissue, there is virtually no scarring. The larger the implant, especially in the case of larger silicone implants, the larger the scar. However, a skilled surgeon can ensure that scarring is discrete and as minimal as possible. Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and usually requires around a week of recovery time. This procedure focuses on increasing the size of the breasts, but it does not address sagging breasts or projection. This is where a breast lift comes in.

## What is mastopexy?

Sometimes with age or after pregnancy and breastfeeding, your breasts can sag or appear deflated. The technical term for this is ptosis. If sagging or flat breasts are a concern, **mastopexy** surgery, also called a breast lift, is the procedure that can address this. Depending on your aesthetic goals, there are a few different incision techniques for mastopexy. Other things to consider when deciding on mastopexy approaches are your current breast volume and the degree to which your breasts are affected by ptosis.

The goal of each mastopexy technique is to reshape the breasts to *restore lift and improve projection* or “perkiness” for an enhanced appearance. Mastopexy is typically performed under general anesthesia. However, depending on the circumstances and comfort level of the patient, some surgeons will perform mastopexy with IV sedation and local anesthetic. Since this procedure does not increase the size of your breasts, if volume is not a concern you want to address, your surgeon may only recommend a mastopexy.

## Can breast augmentation and mastopexy be combined?

In many cases, women want to address both size increase and sagging concerns. If your surgeon determines that it is the best option for you, then **breast augmentation and mastopexy** can be performed simultaneously. During the surgery, your breast tissue will be reconstructed, any excess skin removed, and an implant or fat transfer will be inserted for volume. A combined surgery will provide an outcome with both increased fullness and lift. This is a very commonly blended surgery, but it does mean it is a bit more complex and extensive. It also means that the recovery period can be a bit longer and more difficult. The healing process is essential to any surgery, including cosmetic surgery, since achieving optimal results often partially relies on proper healing. You will want to be sure you have a good support team both at home and in your surgeon’s office.

## When is the best time to get a Lymphatic Massage?

Many patients enjoy the benefits of the [postoperative lymphatic massage treatment](/non-surgical/lymphatic-massage-cavitation/) within the first week after surgery, as that helps the body kickstart the healing process. Many decide that multiple, one-hour sessions per week for the first month or so after surgery yield the best results before they scale it back to 30-minute sessions. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, we recommend our patients begin postoperative lymphatic massage treatment as early as the first few days after surgery in some cases. It can make that big a difference.

If you're experiencing pain or swelling following surgery, schedule a session for [recovery care](/non-surgical/post-operation-care/) in Atlanta at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. No matter who did your procedure, our recovery experts can give you a second opinion on your recovery plan and provide immediate relief with a postoperative lymphatic massage. Fill out the form below to schedule your visit.

## Making The Best Choice For You

When deciding between breast augmentation, mastopexy, or both, it’s important to remember the basics about each surgery. **Breast augmentation** will give you more volume but will not address any issues with ptosis or projection. Mastopexy will lift the breasts and help with better projection, but it will not add any volume. If you decide that one or both of these procedures is a good option for you, it is extremely important to choose a qualified, board-certified, and experienced provider who has performed many breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries in the past and can offer before and afters of excellent results. Choosing to seek breast enhancement surgery is a very personal decision, and you only want the absolute best from an [Atlanta plastic surgery clinic](/) when it comes to your care team.

## Tummy Tuck in Atlanta:How to Achieve a Flatter Stomach After Pregnancy or Weight LossBy Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

## Why the Stomach Area Changes, And How Tummy Tuck Surgery Can Help

Pregnancy and significant weight loss change your body in big ways, especially in the stomach area. It’s not just about the number on the scale or what shows up in photos. After major body changes, many people are left with loose skin, weakened muscles, or excess fat in the abdomen. No matter how many sit-ups or how clean your diet is, that area sometimes just doesn’t bounce back the way you’d like it to.

That’s why **tummy tuck surgery**, also called abdominoplasty, has become such a common cosmetic procedure for people in Atlanta and beyond. Whether you’re dealing with stretched abdominal skin from pregnancy or looking to remove excess skin after losing weight, a tummy tuck can help repair the abdominal wall, tighten separated abdominal muscles, and improve the overall abdominal profile.

This blog breaks down what actually happens to the body after pregnancy and weight loss, why these changes are so tough to reverse naturally, and how a [tummy tuck procedure](/body/tummy-tuck/) can help, so you can make an informed decision.

## How Pregnancy Affects the Abdominal Wall and Muscles

Pregnancy puts a lot of pressure on your abdominal muscles, skin, and connective tissue. As the baby grows, your abdominal wall stretches and shifts to make space. After childbirth, the body does some healing on its own, but for many women, certain changes just don’t fully go away.

One of the most common post-pregnancy issues is *diastasis recti*, where the two sides of the abdominal muscles separate and don’t come back together. This leads to a noticeable bulge or softness in the middle of the belly, even if you’re at a healthy weight and active. These separated abdominal muscles can also affect your core strength and posture, and sometimes lead to lower back pain or discomfort when doing everyday activities.

Stretching during pregnancy also affects the abdominal skin. You may notice stretch marks, loose skin, or a change in the position of your belly button. Fat can linger in the lower abdomen, too, especially right above the pubic hairline. Some people experience extra skin and fat that just won’t go away.

A tummy tuck isn’t just for cosmetic reasons. It’s often used to restore structure to the abdomen, bringing the muscles back together and smoothing out the skin and fat that may have changed during pregnancy. This surgical procedure can also reduce stretch marks in the lower stomach by removing the affected skin entirely.

## Excess Skin After Weight Loss: Why It’s So Common

When someone loses a large amount of weight, either through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, the body often changes shape faster than the skin can keep up. The result? *Excess skin*, especially in the abdomen, that hangs, folds, or sags. This is common in both men and women and often leaves people feeling like their hard work isn’t fully reflected in the mirror.

This extra skin can cause physical problems too: chafing, irritation, difficulty exercising, and hygiene challenges. The lower abdomen might develop a heavy flap of skin called a pannus. Sometimes this skin can even trap moisture and lead to rashes or skin infections.

Unlike post-pregnancy patients, weight loss patients often don’t need muscle repair. The bigger issue is how much excess skin and fat needs to be removed, and how far around the body that skin extends. In many cases, a complete abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck is needed to fully reshape the area.

Depending on the location and severity of the loose skin, your [plastic surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/) may recommend combining the tummy tuck with other [body contouring surgeries](/body/body-contouring/), such as a [lower body lift](/body/body-lift/) or [liposuction](/body/liposuction/). These combinations are common after significant weight loss.

## What Happens During a Tummy Tuck Procedure

A **tummy tuck procedure** focuses on restoring the shape and function of the abdomen. During the procedure, your surgeon will tighten the abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and trim away fat in the lower abdomen. In some cases, a second incision around the belly button is needed to reposition it in a natural-looking spot.

The surgery usually includes:

  - Tightening of weakened muscles (especially after pregnancy)

  - Removal of loose skin and stretch-marked skin in the lower abdomen

  - Elimination of excess fat in the stomach area

  - Reshaping of the abdominal profile for a smoother, flatter appearance

There are different types of tummy tuck procedures:

  - **Mini tummy tuck**: Targets the area below the belly button, usually no muscle repair, minimal skin removal

  - **Complete abdominoplasty**: More extensive, includes muscle tightening, skin and fat removal, and repositioning of the belly button

  - **Extended tummy tuck**: Removes extra skin that wraps around the sides of the body, used in significant weight loss cases

Most tummy tucks take about two to three hours and are done under general anesthesia by a [board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta](/). A skilled surgical team will guide you through each step, from consultation to recovery, helping you feel supported throughout the cosmetic surgery process.

## Tummy Tuck Plans After Pregnancy vs. After Weight Loss

Even though it’s the same category of plastic surgery, the goals of a tummy tuck can look pretty different depending on your history.

Post-pregnancy tummy tucks usually involve:

  - Repair of separated abdominal muscles

  - Removal of loose skin in the lower abdomen

  - Smoothing out stretch marks

  - Optional [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) to fine-tune the upper abdomen or waist

Tummy tucks after weight loss often focus on:

  - Removing large amounts of excess skin and fat

  - Recontouring the abdominal area, hips, and flanks

  - Addressing skin folds that cause physical discomfort

  - Possibly combining with other body contouring procedures

Scars vary depending on the type of tummy tuck. A tummy tuck scar usually runs low, along the pubic hairline, and can be hidden beneath clothing. A mini abdominoplasty leaves a smaller scar, while an extended one creates a longer line, sometimes wrapping around the sides. How you heal depends on your overall health, how closely you follow your surgeon’s instructions, and factors like whether you stop smoking, avoid anti-inflammatory drugs, and skip herbal supplements before and after surgery to lower your risk of increased bleeding and poor wound healing.

## What to Expect After Tummy Tuck Surgery: Healing and Results

Recovery from tummy tuck surgery takes time, and it’s normal to experience pain, swelling, and tightness for the first week or so. Most patients go home the same day, though you’ll need someone to help you move around for the first few days. Drainage tubes are often placed to prevent fluid buildup and are typically removed after a week or two.

During the healing process, you’ll need to avoid lifting, bending, or straining your core. Most people take one to two weeks off work and gradually return to light activity. *Full results* can take several months to settle as swelling goes down and the incision site fades.

Good healing also depends on following your surgeon’s guidelines closely. This includes keeping the area clean, wearing your *compression garment*, staying on a proper diet, and maintaining a stable weight after surgery. Smoking, poor nutrition, and skipping post-op care can increase your risk of blood clots, delayed healing, and uneven scarring.

When healing goes well, the results are usually long-lasting. A flatter, firmer belly. A smoother abdominal contour. And for many people, a feeling of finally being comfortable in their skin again.

## Is a Tummy Tuck Right for You?

Whether it’s from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or just time, your body can change in ways that don’t always feel like “you.” A tummy tuck procedure isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling confident, supported, and comfortable in your body again.

If you're considering a tummy tuck in Atlanta, take the time to find a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands how to tailor the procedure to your needs. Whether that includes muscle repair, excess skin removal, or a mini tummy tuck for a small lower belly correction, a personal consultation is the best way to decide if you're a good candidate and to set realistic expectations for your results.

In the right hands, this **tummy tuck surgery** can do more than just flatten your stomach; it can help restore how you feel in your body.

## Dr. Jones Voted a Top Doctor in 2025 & 2026

**Link:** [Dr. Jones Voted a Top Doctor in 2025 & 2026](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/voted-a-top-doctor-in-2025-2026-why-atlanta-patients-choose-dr-jones-for-natural-results/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/voted-a-top-doctor-in-2025-2026-why-atlanta-patients-choose-dr-jones-for-natural-results/index.html.md))

**Description:** Dr. Nicholas Jones was named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in 2025 and 2026. See why Atlanta patients trust him for natural results.

### Content

## Why Atlanta Patients Continue to Choose Dr. Jones for Natural Results
Dr. Nicholas Jones of Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for two years in a row, in both 2025 and 2026. This is a distinction that places him among physicians recognized for excellence in their field. In plastic surgery, that recognition carries real weight. Patients are trusting a surgeon with decisions that affect how they look, how they heal, and how they live with the result after the procedure is over.

Dr. Nicholas Jones has a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to plastic surgery. The operation has to fit the patient. It has to fit their body, their tissue, their recovery, and what they are actually trying to improve. Being recognized two years in a row reflects that standard of care. It points to a practice built on clear judgment, careful technique, and results that look like they belong on the person wearing them. It reflects the way Dr. Jones approaches the full experience, from the first consultation through recovery and follow-up.

## What Patients Are Actually Looking For
Most patients are not walking into a consultation asking for something extreme. They are asking for something that makes sense.

They want their abdomen flatter, but still natural on their frame. They want their breasts lifted without looking overdone. They want their eyes to look more open without changing the whole face. They want improvement that fits.

That is where a lot of the decision-making comes in. Plastic surgery is full of procedures, devices, trends, and promises. Patients need a surgeon who can tell them what will actually help, what will fall short, and when a bigger operation is the right call.

## Natural Results Are Not an Accident
A lot of surgeons use the phrase “natural results.” Almost everybody says it. The big trend on social media (and it’s a trend we completely agree with) is to go for natural-looking results that don’t look like the person has had work done; they just look refreshed and youthful. The harder part is doing it.

For Dr. Jones, natural results come down to proportion and restraint. You have to know when liposuction is enough and when loose skin is going to keep the result from looking good. You have to know when a breast lift makes more sense than trying to solve everything with implants. Same thing with the face. Same thing with body contouring.

Those results come from judgment. Dr. Jones looks at the patient in front of him and builds a plan that fits. Some patients need a smaller adjustment. Some need real surgical correction.

## Candidacy is the First Question
This is one of the biggest differences with Dr. Jones. He is very straightforward about candidacy and what a procedure can do and what it cannot do.

If somebody has mild to moderate skin laxity, there may be a less invasive option that makes sense. If the skin excess is significant, the surgery has to match the problem. If you need a tummy tuck, you need a tummy tuck. If you have a lot of loose arm skin, skin tightening is not going to replace an arm lift.

Patients respect that. They may not love hearing it in the moment, but they respect it.

A good consultation should narrow things down. It should make the picture clearer. That is how Dr. Jones approaches treatment planning, and it changes the tone of the visit. The conversation becomes more useful. It stops feeling like a pitch and starts feeling like a plan.

## A Broad Practice Helps Him Be Honest
At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jones performs a wide range of procedures. Just a few of them are:

- Body contouring
- Liposuction
- Tummy tuck
- Mommy makeover
- Breast surgery
- Male breast reduction
- Eyelid surgery
- Revision work

He also offers non-surgical options for patients who want maintenance or are better served with something less invasive.

The treatment has to fit the patient. The result has to look right on their body. The recovery has to make sense for what they are signing up for. That is the thread running through the whole practice.

It also helps that he is not boxed into one lane. A surgeon with a broad practice has more room to be honest. He can recommend liposuction when liposuction is enough. He can recommend a lift when a lift is what will actually fix the issue. He can tell a patient to wait. He can say no. The treatment plan is always built around what the patient actually needs.

## Revision Work Changes the Way a Surgeon Thinks
That kind of judgment becomes even more obvious in revision cases.

When a patient comes in after a prior procedure with contour irregularities, asymmetry, scar issues, or a result that does not sit right, the fix is usually more complicated than the original operation. You have less room. More scar tissue. More variables. More need for judgment.

That kind of work forces a surgeon to be honest about limits. It also sharpens the way they look at primary surgery. Surgeons who do revision work tend to notice problems earlier. They are more careful in planning. They know where a shortcut can create a long-term issue.

Dr. Jones’s practice puts that revision experience front and center. Patients looking for a primary procedure may not think they need a revision-minded surgeon. A lot of the time, that is exactly who they need.

## Recovery Is Part of the Result
Surgery is one day. Healing is the part patients live with. Dr. Jones puts real weight on what happens after.

Swelling changes. Bruising fades. Scar tissue softens. Questions come up a week later that did not exist on day one. Follow-up gives patients structure during that phase. It gives them answers. It gives the surgeon a chance to stay involved and protect the result as it settles.

Patients remember that part just as much as they remember the operation itself. They remember whether they felt looked after. They remember whether they could get answers. They remember whether the office stayed involved once the procedure was over.

## Why Atlanta Patients Keep Choosing Dr. Jones
In a city like Atlanta, patients have options. They are paying attention to more than credentials on a page. They want to know who has experience, who has discipline, and who can improve shape and proportion without pushing the result too far.

That is where Dr. Jones has built his reputation.

He is thoughtful. He is direct. He understands the difference between a patient who needs a smaller adjustment and a patient who needs real surgical correction. His results make sense on the body and face in front of him.

Good plastic surgery should look right. It should heal well. It should hold up when the patient gets dressed, goes to dinner, goes back to work, or sees people who know them well.

That is what Dr. Jones has built his name on. The Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition gives that reputation a formal title. The work is what earned it.

If you are considering plastic surgery in Atlanta and want a surgeon who will give you a clear plan, a realistic recommendation, and a result that fits, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicholas Jones at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Out-of-Town Patients

### How long should I plan to stay in Atlanta post-surgery?

We recommend that you **plan to stay for at least a week** following your surgery. This ensures you can attend the *essential post-operative check-in* and begin your recovery under our close guidance.

### Can family members join the virtual consultations?

Absolutely! We encourage patients to involve *family or close friends* in the virtual consultations if it makes them more comfortable.

### How soon before the surgery should I arrive in Atlanta?

Ideally, you should plan to arrive a few days to a week before your surgery. This gives you ample time to attend the preoperative appointment and settle in before the procedure.

### Are there any restrictions on activities I can do while recovering in Atlanta?

Post-surgery, we recommend taking it easy and avoiding strenuous activities. Specific restrictions will depend on the nature of your surgery and will be discussed during your preoperative and post-operative appointments.

### Do I need to visit the clinic for any follow-up after I return home?

After your initial in-person post-operative check-in, subsequent follow-ups can be done virtually. However, if there are any concerns or complications, an in-person visit might be necessary.

### What if I experience complications after returning home?

Your health is our priority. If you experience any complications or have concerns once you return home, please contact our office immediately. We will guide you on the next steps and, if necessary, arrange for further consultations or evaluations.

### Can the clinic assist with booking accommodations or recovery homes?

While we provide recommendations, patients will need to handle bookings directly. However, our team is available for any questions or clarifications about accommodations.

## What to Know About Aveli: The Latest Breakthrough in Cellulite Treatment By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [What to Know About Aveli: The Latest Breakthrough in Cellulite Treatment By Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/what-to-know-about-aveli-the-latest-breakthrough-in-cellulite-treatment/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/what-to-know-about-aveli-the-latest-breakthrough-in-cellulite-treatment/index.html.md))

**Description:** Discover Aveli, a minimally invasive cellulite treatment at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA. Call (404) 777-TUCK to learn more!

### Content

As women, we all know that feeling – standing in front of the mirror, noticing those dimples on your thighs or buttocks that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you work out or how healthy you eat. Cellulite affects about 90% of women, and it can sometimes feel like an unwinnable battle. But the good news is, today’s advances in cosmetic treatments offer us solutions that weren’t available before – solutions that empower us to *feel more confident* in our own skin. One of the latest and most promising treatments available at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery with Dr. Nicholas Jones is [Aveli](/non-surgical/aveli-cellulite-treatment/), a minimally invasive procedure designed to target the root cause of cellulite: fibrous septa bands beneath the skin. Unlike creams, lotions, or other surface treatments, Aveli goes deeper, providing longer-lasting results with minimal downtime. 

## What Exactly is Aveli?

At our [Atlanta plastic surgery clinic](/), Aveli is a breakthrough in **cellulite treatment** because it’s precise, quick, and effective. Using a small device inserted under the skin, Aveli targets and releases the fibrous bands that pull the skin down, creating those unwanted dimples. The treatment is usually completed within an hour, and the best part? You see *noticeable results* in just one session. 

## Why Aveli is a Game-Changer 

What makes Aveli different from other cellulite treatments is its precision. Aveli allows [Dr. Jones](/meet-dr-jones/) to physically confirm he’s treated the targeted dimples. It’s designed for women who want a **noticeable reduction in cellulite** without having to commit to multiple treatments or deal with lengthy recovery times. For so many of us, cellulite isn’t just about how we look – it’s about how we feel. Whether it’s wearing a pair of shorts, slipping into a swimsuit, or just feeling comfortable in your skin, cellulite can affect our self-confidence. But Aveli is all about giving us control back, helping us take that step toward *loving how we look* without the frustration of endless creams or treatments that just don’t work. 

## Why I Love the Concept Behind Aveli 

What I love most about treatments like Aveli is that they’re not about changing who you are – they’re about **enhancing the beauty you already have**. It’s about choice. It’s about empowerment. Whether you’re 25 or 55, if cellulite is something that’s holding you back from feeling your best, Aveli gives you the option to address it with a minimally invasive procedure. And for those of us considering other enhancements like a [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/) or [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), it’s encouraging to know that new technologies are making cosmetic improvements safer and more effective. When we look good, we feel good – and sometimes, that extra bit of confidence can have ripple effects in every part of our lives, from how we carry ourselves to the way we approach opportunities. 

## Real Results for Real Women 

The beauty of Aveli is that it’s designed with real women in mind – women who are juggling busy schedules, careers, families, and social lives. We don’t always have time for long, drawn-out recovery periods, or multiple sessions of a treatment. That’s why Aveli’s **one-time treatment** and quick recovery are such major perks. And if you’re combining it with other procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction, Aveli fits seamlessly into a broader cosmetic plan that can leave you *feeling even more rejuvenated*. Dr. Nicholas Jones and the team at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery work closely with each patient to ensure the treatments they choose fit their individual goals and lifestyle. 

It’s about you at the end of the day, no cosmetic treatment should define you. But I believe in anything that helps us feel more like ourselves – more empowered, more radiant, and more confident in the skin we’re in. **Aveli** is one of those tools that allows us to take a step toward that feeling. Whether you’re prepping for a beach vacation, a special event, or just want to treat yourself to something that enhances your natural beauty, Aveli with Dr. Nicholas Jones at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery could be a great option to consider. After all, we deserve to look in the mirror and love what we see – not just in terms of appearance, but in the reflection of the strong, beautiful, and confident women we are. Contact us at [(404) 777-TUCK](tel:4047778825) or visit our [contact page](/contact/) to learn more.

## When Patients Cross the Line: How Subtle Boundary Violations Can Erode Your Practice CultureBy Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

**Link:** [When Patients Cross the Line: How Subtle Boundary Violations Can Erode Your Practice CultureBy Dr. Nicholas Jones, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeonat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/when-patients-cross-the-line-how-subtle-boundary-violations-can-erode-your-practice-culture/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/blog/when-patients-cross-the-line-how-subtle-boundary-violations-can-erode-your-practice-culture/index.html.md))

**Description:** Protect your practice from subtle patient boundary violations with systems that safeguard staff wellbeing and care quality; learn the steps today.

### Content

In medicine, we’re trained to manage complications, crises, and clinical complexity. But there’s another, quieter threat that’s often overlooked: the erosion of *workplace culture* through subtle, persistent **boundary violations** by patients. As a plastic surgeon and practice owner, I’ve seen how the little things—not just the obvious ones—can chip away at morale. It’s the unsolicited DMs. The patient who shows up unannounced. The gift that feels just a bit too personal. These behaviors may seem harmless in isolation, but collectively they create tension and *emotional strain* for your staff. 

## The Hidden Drain of “Well-Meaning” Behavior

Here are just a few situations we’ve encountered:

  - A patient who repeatedly calls with non-urgent questions despite clear [post-op instructions](/patient-resources/post-op-care/)

  - Visitors who drop by unannounced and linger inappropriately

  - A patient offering concert tickets to a team member—friendly gesture or red flag?

  - A DM that crosses a line into inappropriate territory

These aren’t always malicious. Often, they stem from anxiety, loneliness, or poor judgment. But whatever the intention, the impact is real. They create emotional labor, blur **professional boundaries**, and over time, can lead to burnout or even turnover.

## Why Frameworks Like FAVER Aren’t Enough

You may be familiar with FAVER, a framework offered by the American Academy of Family Physicians to guide interactions. While helpful, it’s still a reactive tool. Without institutional structure, it asks too much of frontline staff. They're left to navigate ambiguous situations with no backup—and that’s a recipe for confusion, stress, and inconsistency. 

## What Works: Systems, Culture, and Boundaries 

Here’s what we’ve implemented at Nip & Tuck:

  - Clear definitions of inappropriate behavior

  - Escalation protocols to distinguish when to redirect, when to set limits, and when to involve leadership

  - Scripted responses and mock scenarios to empower staff

  - No personal phones for patient communication—only secure, logged channels

  - Patient portal first for all non-urgent matters

This system doesn’t depersonalize care—it *protects* it. Boundaries foster professionalism. Professionalism creates safety. And safety builds trust.

## Respect Is a Two-Way Street 

Patients deserve empathy. But so do staff. If we want sustainable, high-performing teams, we must take active responsibility for protecting them from burnout—not just with PTO or wellness programs, but by setting clear expectations for **respectful behavior**. 

And let’s not forget: your [team](/meet-the-team/)’s wellbeing directly impacts the quality of care your patients receive.

Ask Yourself:

  - Have you defined what subtle boundary violations look like in your practice?

  - Do your staff know how to respond, and when to escalate?

  - Are you reinforcing these expectations consistently through culture and protocol?

If the answer to any of those is no, your team may be silently absorbing stress that will eventually show up in morale, retention, and even patient satisfaction.

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, a post op lymphatic massage offers the most in-depth recovery plans, including lymphatic massage. Schedule today!

### Content

#### You’ve had yourdream procedure.Now is the time for your ideal recovery.

When you decided to get your cosmetic procedure done, you didn’t take it lightly. Don’t lose sight of your goals now during recovery.

Your recovery process can be as important to your final results as the surgery itself. There are certain treatments like a **post op lymphatic massage** that you can use to *improve your body’s ability to recover faster and more comfortably*. With post op care in Atlanta at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, you can make the most of your recovery.

#### WhyRecovery Matters

Plastic surgery is a big deal, and your confidence and comfort in the days and weeks following surgery are just as important as how you look and feel once the healing process is done. [Liposuction](/body/liposuction/), [tummy tucks](/body/tummy-tuck/), and other cosmetic procedures can cause the body to react in a way that causes swelling as it adjusts to the changes. That’s okay, and a post-**op lymphatic massage can help the body along in the healing process**.

[Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Nicholas Jones and Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery want to make sure plastic surgery patients feel good before, during, and after their cosmetic procedures. Dr. Jones developed one of the most advanced recovery programs in plastic surgery today, including scar therapy, lymphatic massage, and procedure-specific recovery strategies. His patients love the results!

Now, he offers these proven programs and treatments (including post op lymphatic massage) to anyone recovering from surgery, regardless of where they received their initial procedures. If you want the best plastic surgery recovery Atlanta has to offer, Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery is here to help.

#### What is Post Op Lymphatic Massage?

Are you feeling some swelling or build-up in the area where you received treatment? Don’t worry, that’s normal, but you don’t have to live with it.

Patients typically experience this after liposuction due to the instruments used and the body’s reaction to the surgery. Your body is adjusting to your new look, which means some of the natural pathways it had before might change, leading to swelling.

**Post op lymphatic massages** at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery use highly specialized massage techniques to gently massage those affected areas and *speed up recovery*. Our highly-trained lymphatic massage therapists get the fluid in your body moving again and *decrease those areas of swelling so you can feel great about your recovery*.

At Dr. Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, patient care and recovery are our highest priorities. To further support your healing journey, we are pleased to offer mobile lymphatic massage services, performed by licensed therapists specializing in post-surgical and lymphatic care.

These in-home sessions are designed to promote optimal recovery, reduce swelling, and enhance overall comfort following your procedure.

Mobile Massage Packages:

- 4 sessions: $450
- 6 sessions : $630
- 8 sessions : $765
- 10 sessions : $900

Experience professional post-operative care in the privacy and convenience of your own home.

#### What are the benefits of a Post Op Lymphatic Massage?

Your body’s lymphatic system is a well-oiled machine designed to move fluids along in your body and cleanse it of toxins.

When your body changes, like after plastic surgery, there can be backups in that system that slow you down and make you feel uncomfortable while your body figures out what is exactly going on. The **post op lymphatic massage is designed to help the body** by getting the system back on track, helping things flow naturally, and *reducing your pain and discomfort* in the process.

#### Am I a good candidate fora Post Op Lymphatic Massage?

Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery recommends that patients start their post op lymphatic massages within a few days after their surgeries.

This ensures the healing process starts quickly and avoids excess fluid build-up. The massages work best when performed at least once a week during the first month of recovery, but many of Dr. Jones’ patients see better results with multiple sessions. During your first visit for **post op lymphatic massage** Atlanta based Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, will walk you through how our recovery process is different and help you determine your optimal path to a full and speedy recovery.

#### Save on your Lymphatic massages when you purchase a package with us!

Lymphatic Massage - 60 minutes - $150.00

Lymphatic Massage - 90 minutes - $250.00

#### What toexpect duringa Post Op Lymphatic Massage session

**A post op lymphatic massage is a fairly simple process**. Think of a relaxing massage you’d get for your muscles and aches and all of the relief that comes with it.

That’s the exact same thought process behind a post op lymphatic massage. A one-hour massage in the areas where the body produces the lymph fluid will help your lymphatic system keep that fluid moving and reduce swelling and inflammation. You can sit back and relax as the team at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery gently work your body with a therapeutic technique designed to get you feeling your absolute best.

#### Post Op Lymphatic Massage Results

Multiple one-hour massages per week during the first month after treatment can dramatically help patients with inflammation following surgery.

You can *expect to feel relief, and swelling should begin to subside faster* following your post op lymphatic massage sessions. Many **Atlanta post op lymphatic massage** patients opt for 30-minute sessions after the first month or so of treatment.

- Vaginal laxity or looseness
- Urinary incontinence or leakage
- Reduced sensation or sexual function
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort during intercourse
- Sagging or laxity of the external genitalia
- Reduced skin texture or tone in the treated area

#### Consultationand Preparation

Before undergoing **treatment with ThermiVa** Atlanta patients will typically have a consultation to determine whether they are a good candidate for the procedure. During the consultation, we will review your medical history, discuss any concerns or issues you may have, and outline the details of the treatment.

You may be asked to prepare for the treatment by refraining from sexual activity for a certain period of time before and after the procedure, as well as avoiding certain medications or supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. We will also recommend specific pre-treatment care, such as hydration or topical numbing cream, to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

#### Procedure

**ThermiVa is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that usually takes about 30 minutes to complete**. Before the procedure begins, a numbing cream or gel may be applied to the treatment area to help minimize any discomfort if you choose. However, many patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure itself.

During the procedure, a small handheld device is inserted into the vagina, which delivers *controlled radiofrequency energy* to the targeted tissue. The energy heats the tissue, which *stimulates collagen production*, *improves blood flow*, and *tightens the tissue* in the treatment area. The device is then moved along the external genitalia to deliver RF energy to the labia majora and clitoral hood as well.

#### Results, Recoveryand Aftercare

You may see the full results of **ThermiVa treatment** after *a series of three treatments spaced around four weeks apart*. Some patients may experience improvements after a single treatment, but multiple treatments are generally recommended for optimal results.

You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treatment area immediately after the procedure, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours.

After the procedure, you can resume your daily activities immediately. Avoid sexual activity for at least 24-48 hours after treatment and any strenuous exercise or activities that could cause excessive sweating or irritation in the treatment area.

To maintain your results, follow a healthy lifestyle that includes proper hydration, a balanced diet, and regular exercise. Consider follow-up treatments once or twice a year to maintain your results over time.

*Address areas where a tumor or cancerous tissues were removed.*

Mohs Reconstruction is a plastic surgery procedure specially reserved for patients who have had tissue removed due to skin cancer. It may sometimes be scheduled in advance to be performed immediately after the Mohs surgery (a procedure for skin cancer excision) to ensure the best possible results and reduce healing times. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery we strive to deliver the **best mohs reconstruction** Atlanta has to offer.

#### What is Mohs Reconstruction Surgery?

Mohs surgery is a reconstructive procedure that uses plastic surgery techniques to *help address areas where a tumor or cancerous tissues were removed*. For many patients, Mohs reconstruction surgery can help complete the process after beating cancer, allowing them to get back to their regular lives and appearances.

In the United States, it is estimated one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their life. According to the American Cancer Society, over 5 million skin cancers are diagnosed annually and - and that number is on the rise. With the skin being the largest organ on the body, the impact of skin cancer can vary greatly for patients. Additionally, for most patients, skin cancer occurs in highly visible areas including the face, neck, arms, and hands. This is generally because these areas receive the greatest sun exposure.

#### What are the Benefits of Mohs Reconstruction Surgery?

Mohs reconstruction is an excellent way to address the visible wounds and trauma left on the body following skin cancer removal surgery. **Atlanta mohs reconstruction** Patients who have fought cancer deserve to feel powerful and confident. Mohs reconstructive surgery can help restore your appearance and help you achieve a sense of normalcy following skin cancer and treatment.

#### How is Mohs Reconstruction Performed?

Mohs reconstruction surgery is a procedure that treats patients who have lost tissue, skin, cartilage, muscle, or even notable facial features to skin cancer. After the cancer is successfully removed, patients may be left feeling or appearing disfigured.

It can often cause more stress, especially in adults or children who have recently undergone cancer treatment. Mohs reconstructive surgery is performed on a case by case basis. This means Dr. Jones will provide individualized care to each patient and will approach the surgery in a manner that is best for them. The Mohs reconstruction surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The entire procedure may take several hours to perform, so it is often scheduled in the morning to provide enough time to successfully complete.

#### Typically, Mohs reconstruction surgery is performed using one of three methods:

## Neck Lift

**Link:** [Neck Lift](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/neck-lift/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/neck-lift/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, a neck lift imparts a youthful appearance to the area of the neck by lifting & tightening the skin & enhancing definition.

### Content

*Tighten And Tone The Lower Face, Chin, and Neck Area*

Nothing makes you appear more aged than the dreaded “turkey wattle” effect caused by saggy, drooping skin on the bands of the neck. A Neck Lift could be the answer. Because the skin of this area is so delicate, and due to the natural force imposed by gravity, the skin of the neck and throat area is easily prone to stretching and losing elasticity as a natural consequence of aging, giving way to such effects as the formation of jowls, a drooping double chin, bands of lax, saggy skin, and the unfortunate “turkey neck” effect.

#### What is a Neck Lift?

**A neck lift is used to tighten and tone the lower face, chin, and neck area** and is personally tailored to each patient. In medical terms, a patient may undergo either a Platysmaplasty or Lower Rhytidectomy, both of which are terms for the neck lift procedure that *rejuvenates and tightens the skin and muscle tissue in the lower face and neck*, diminishes the double chin effect, and reduces the appearance of jowls, while sculpting a firmer and toned facial profile.

In many cases, patients may elect to combine a neck lift with other cosmetic procedures, like a [facelift](/face/facelift/) or [brow lift](/face/brow-lift/), to achieve even more dramatic rejuvenation in the area of the face and neck. Luckily, if you live in Atlanta, GA, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicholas Jones, a double-board certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) and one of the area’s most trusted cosmetic surgeons to learn about your options for a neck lift. Dr. Jones provides both surgical and non-surgical neck lift procedures for residents of the greater Atlanta area and beyond.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

If you’re beginning to see vertical bands of wrinkly, fine skin on your neck, along with fleshy jowls along your jawline and sagging skin beneath the chin, you can definitely benefit from a neck lift that can *take years off your appearance by rejuvenating your lower face and neck*.

For the most part, **most adults over the age of 50 can benefit from a neck lift**, as the effects of gravity on the lower face begin to become more pronounced by this age in most people. Candidates must be in good health and cleared for surgery by their primary physician. You must also be available to set aside at least a week to rest fully after surgery to properly heal and recover from the procedure.

#### What are the Advantages of a Neck Lift?

The **neck lift is a widely sought-after cosmetic procedure** because it can take years off a person’s facial appearance and can dramatically rejuvenate the face, neck, and décolletage region.

The neck lift procedure provides the following advantages:

- *Tightens and tones the skin and muscle tissue of the lower face and throat region.*
- *Diminishes the appearance of sagging jowls. *
- *Improves the definition and contour of the chin, jawline, neck, and throat.*
- *Diminishes the dropping double chin.*
- *Trims away excess skin and fat from the chin and neck to reduce vertical banding in the neck.*
- *Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, chin, and lower face.*
- *Gets rid of the “turkey wattle” effect and renews the throat and neckline.*

#### Healing and Recovery Following a Neck Lift

Following surgery, a compression bandage will be wrapped around your neck, and you will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment the following day. Drain tubes may be used during the surgery, and these are typically removed the following day.

After your **neck lift** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will prescribe pain medication to treat any soreness or swelling that you may experience, and our staff will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions while also closely monitoring your healing process. To best conserve the results of your procedure, commit to a healthy skincare routine and regular sun protection, as well as healthy lifestyle habits like avoiding cigarette smoke and other pollutants.

You will need to have someone lined up to drive you home after your neck lift surgery, as well as to help with household chores for a few days while you rest. You may use ice packs to alleviate swelling, and you must take special precautions not to injure yourself following the procedure. For example, you will not be able to bend over, to prevent pressure on the treatment area, and you must also avoid lifting heavy objects. For the first two weeks or so, you will have to sleep in an elevated position and limit movement of the head and neck.

#### Consultation for a Neck Liftin Atlanta

Dr. Nicholas Jones, a seasoned cosmetic specialist, will customize a personal treatment plan to help you meet your aesthetic goals, achieve natural-looking rejuvenation, and improve the tone and texture of your skin in the lower face and neck. To learn if a neck lift may be suitable for you, contact Dr. Jones at [404-777-TUCK](tel:404-777-TUCK) to schedule your consultation today!

At Nip & Tuck, we provide personalized Atlanta Dermal Filler treatments to deliver natural-looking results. Experience the expertise of Dr. Jones, a double board-certified plastic surgeon serving the Atlanta community.

#### What Are Dermal Fillers?

**Dermal Fillers** (or facial fillers) are cosmetic treatments that are used to *help reduce or stop the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face.*

These products are non-surgical and are administered through a series of injections into the targeted areas. They are typically given in an office setting and do not require advanced medical care facilities. If you are looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines, [contact our offices today to schedule a consultation](/contact/). We can review your desired outcome and current situation to help recommend the best options for you.

#### Am I a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Our **Atlanta Dermal Fillers** are excellent options for residents who want noticeable changes to their profile, fuller lips, and a visible reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Our facial fillers offer patients minimal downtime and are not permanent, but are an excellent non-invasive, non-surgical option.

#### What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Non-permanent and non-invasive, **Dermal Fillers** offer dramatic results in reducing the signs of aging, improving the appearance of scars, and adding volume to sunken areas of your face.

#### What Happens During A Dermal Filler Treatment?

Your **Atlanta dermal filler appointment** at Nip & Tuck is quick, comfortable, and personalized to you. Before we get started, we’ll cleanse the area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Most modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps keep the treatment as pain-free as possible.

Once you're comfortable, we’ll carefully inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula. The entire procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how many areas you’d like to enhance. You'll be able to head out and continue your day right after your visit, no surgery or extended downtime needed.

#### What Can I Expect For Recovery After Dermal Fillers?

One of the biggest perks of dermal fillers is that there’s little to no downtime. Most of our Atlanta patients can go right back to their day.

Whether that’s running errands or heading to work, immediately after their appointment. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites is normal, but these effects usually fade within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous workouts, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours to help your results settle smoothly. Otherwise, recovery is minimal and easy to manage.

#### When Will I See Results From My Dermal Filler Treatment, And How Long Will They Last?

You’ll notice results right away after your treatment: plumper lips, smoother contours, and softened lines. That said, it could take about 7 to 14 days for any swelling to subside and for your final results to fully settle in. How long those results last depends on the type of filler used and how your body metabolizes it, but most fillers offer lasting results between six months to two years. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the expected timeline for your specific filler.

## Breast Augmentation With Lift

**Link:** [Breast Augmentation With Lift](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/breast/breast-augmentation-with-lift/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/breast/breast-augmentation-with-lift/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Learn how breast augmentation with lift in Atlanta restores fullness and position with a surgical plan built around your shape and goals.

### Content

#### Youthful, Full Contours Breast Augmentation With Lift

Breast shape can change in ways that are hard to fix with one procedure alone. Some patients want more fullness, but that is only part of the issue. The breast may also sit lower on the chest, the skin may feel stretched, and the nipple may have dropped more than they expected after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or simply time. Adding volume by itself does not always solve the whole problem.

**Breast augmentation with lift** is designed to help patients who need a more complete solution. Dr. Nicholas Jones performs this procedure in Atlanta for patients who want to restore fullness and improve breast position at the same time, with a plan that fits their body and the way their tissue actually looks now.

#### What Is Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift, also called *augmentation-mastopexy*, is a combination surgery that adds breast volume with implants while also lifting the breast, reshaping tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex. It is used when a patient wants more fullness but also has enough sagging or skin stretch that implants alone would not create a balanced result.

**At a Glance**

- Best for: volume loss plus sagging
- Treatment type: outpatient breast surgery
- Downtime: about 1 week of social downtime, with longer lifting and exercise restrictions
- Pain level: moderate swelling, tightness, and soreness
- Treatment length: several hours under general anesthesia
- When results appear: immediate change in shape, with continued settling over the next several months
- How long results last: long-lasting, but influenced by implant choice, tissue quality, weight changes, pregnancy, and aging
- Cost note: pricing depends on implant selection, lift complexity, anesthesia, facility fees, and whether revision work is needed

#### What Concerns Does Breast Augmentation With Lift Treat?

Breast augmentation with lift is usually the right conversation when the breast has lost both fullness and support. A patient may look in the mirror and feel that the breast looks lower, flatter, less rounded at the top, or less proportional than it used to.

This surgery may help address concerns such as:

- Loss of upper-pole fullness
- Stretched breast skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Breasts that sit lower on the chest
- Nipples that point downward or sit too low
- A flatter or elongated breast shape
- Asymmetry in both size and position
- Breasts that only look the way you want in a bra
- A mismatch between the volume you want and the shape your tissue can currently support

#### When Do You Need Both a Breast Augmentation and a Lift?

This is an important question that will be fully explored during your [consultation](/consultation/). Some patients only need more volume. Some are happy with their size and mainly need a lift. Others have enough sagging and enough loss of fullness that both issues need to be corrected together. That decision is based on breast position, nipple position, skin quality, and how much natural support the tissue still has.

This is where surgical judgment matters. If the breast has truly dropped, an implant cannot do the job of a lift. It can make the breast fuller, but it does not reliably move the breast mound or nipple back where they belong. In some patients, going larger without addressing the sagging simply adds more weight to tissue that is already stretched.

#### What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation With Lift?

The biggest benefit of augmentation mastopexy is that it treats the breast as a whole instead of trying to solve a shape issue with volume alone.

With a **breast augmentation with lift** Atlanta patients may:

- Restore fullness and projection
- Improve upper-pole shape
- Raise the breast to a better position on the chest
- Elevate the nipple-areola complex
- Improve stretched or elongated breast shape
- Correct sagging that implants alone cannot fix
- Improve asymmetry in both size and height
- Create a result that looks more complete and more balanced

For many patients, the benefit is not simply “bigger breasts.” It is a breast shape that feels more proportional, more supported, and more in line with the rest of the body.

#### Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is generally a good option for healthy patients who have lost both fullness and position and want to address both at the same time. Candidacy here is not just about whether you are healthy enough for surgery. It is also about whether the plan makes sense for your breast tissue, your skin quality, and your long-term goals.

#### How Should I Prepare for Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Preparation starts well before the day of surgery. This procedure requires thoughtful planning because implant choice, lift design, scar placement, and recovery all need to work together.

- Schedule a consultation and exam with Dr. Jones.
- Review your goals, breast shape, nipple position, and degree of sagging.
- Discuss implant type, size, profile, and placement.
- Review your medications, supplements, and medical history.
- Stop smoking and all nicotine products well before surgery.
- Complete any required lab work or medical clearance.
- Arrange for a driver and early help at home.
- Set up a recovery area with pillows, support bras, loose clothing, and easy access to daily essentials.

Patients usually do better when recovery is planned in advance instead of figured out in real time. The first few days go much more smoothly when home is already set up for limited movement and rest.

#### How Is Breast Augmentation With Lift Performed?

Breast augmentation with lift is performed under general anesthesia. The operation begins with careful planning, because the implant, the lift pattern, and the amount of reshaping all have to work together to create a result that looks balanced and heals well.

In general, the procedure follows these steps:

- Surgical markings are made while you are standing upright.
- Incisions are planned based on how much lifting is needed.
- The implant pocket is created.
- The implant is placed.
- The breast tissue is reshaped around the new volume.
- The nipple-areola complex is moved to a higher position.
- Excess skin is removed.
- The incisions are closed and a support bra or dressing is applied.

Augmentation mastopexy is one of the more technically demanding breast procedures because the surgeon is doing two things at once. One part of the surgery is adding volume using an implant or *fat transfer*. 

The other is tightening and reshaping the breast envelope around that new volume. When the plan is off, the breast can end up feeling too heavy, too tight, or poorly balanced over time. When the plan is done well, those two parts support each other.

#### How Do We Customize Breast Augmentation With Lift?

No two patients need the exact same version of this surgery. Implant selection, lift design, and incision placement all have to be matched to the patient’s frame, tissue, and goals.

#### One-Stage vs. Staged Surgery

Many patients can have a **breast augmentation with lift** in one operation. Some do better when the surgery is staged.

That decision depends on the degree of sagging, the condition of the tissue, the implant goals, and whether the case is primary or revision. In a straightforward case, combining both parts in one surgery can make sense. In a more complex breast, especially when the tissue is thin or the lift is substantial, staging may provide better control and a safer long-term result.

This is not something patients need to decide on their own ahead of time. It is part of the surgical planning conversation.

#### Recovery After Breast Augmentation With Lift

**[.title-xs.highlight-color]Social Downtime[]**

Most patients want to know when they can be out in public without looking obviously post-op. A low-key outing is often reasonable in about a week, depending on swelling and bruising, but you will still look like you are early in recovery. Most patients are not ready for anything that involves a lot of movement, pressure, or a full social calendar right away.

**[.title-xs.highlight-color]Physical Downtime[]**

The first phase of healing requires real restraint. You will need to avoid lifting, strenuous exercise, upper-body strain, and sleeping positions that put pressure on the chest. Recovery tends to go more smoothly when patients respect those restrictions instead of trying to get back to normal too early.

**[.title-xs.highlight-color]Recovery Timeline[]**

- Week 1: Swelling, tightness, soreness, and visible incision lines are all expected. Most patients are walking around the house and doing light activity, but still taking it easy.
- Weeks 2–4: Bruising begins to improve, swelling starts to come down, and the breasts begin to feel a little less tight. They often still sit high during this phase.
- Weeks 4–6: Many patients are easing back into more regular daily activity. The breasts continue settling and the shape starts looking softer.
- Beyond 6 Weeks: Healing continues well past the first month. The shape keeps refining, the implants keep settling, and the scars continue to mature over time.

**[.title-xs.highlight-color]Provider Aftercare Tips[]**

Dr. Jones will go over bra wear, incision care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments as part of your recovery plan. This is a surgery where good follow-up matters. The healing process is part of the outcome, and the office stays involved through that stage.

Recovery after augmentation mastopexy usually involves swelling, tightness, soreness, and a feeling of pressure across the chest early on. The breasts often look higher and firmer at first than they will in the final result. That early appearance is normal.

#### When Will I See Results From Breast Augmentation With Lift?

You will see a change immediately, but you will not see the final result immediately.

Early on, the breasts are swollen, firm, and sitting higher than they will long term. The lift needs time to settle. The implant needs time to settle. The tissue needs time to relax around its new shape. What you see in the first few weeks is an early version of the result, not the final one. Patients usually do best when they understand that this is a settling process, not an overnight reveal. 

**Results Timeline**

#### How Long Do Results Last?

Breast augmentation with lift can last for many years, but no breast surgery is completely unaffected by time, gravity, pregnancy, weight changes, or tissue quality.

**A well-done lift can hold nicely for a long time**, especially when the implant size is appropriate for the patient’s tissue. Larger implants, thinner skin, major weight changes, and future pregnancy can all affect how the result ages. Implants also need to be monitored over time and may eventually need to be exchanged or revised depending on the device and the patient’s goals.

#### Scars After Breast Augmentation With Lift

If you need a true lift, scars are part of the tradeoff. For most patients, the better question is whether the improvement in shape is worth them.

Scar placement depends on how much lifting is required. A smaller correction may allow for a more limited scar pattern. A more significant lift may require a vertical or anchor-style incision to truly reposition the breast and nipple and remove the amount of skin needed for a better shape. Those scars improve with time, but they do not disappear overnight.

Scar quality is influenced by skin type, healing, tension, sun exposure, and nicotine use. Part of the consultation is being honest about what those scars may look like and how scar care fits into the recovery process.

#### Can Breast Augmentation With Lift Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes. This surgery is often combined with other procedures when it fits the patient’s goals and recovery plan.

Common combinations include:

[Tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/), [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), [mommy makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/), implant exchange, revision breast surgery. The combination has to make sense for the patient, the total operative time, and the recovery involved. Some patients benefit from doing everything together. Others do better with a staged plan.

#### Breast Augmentation With Lift vs. Other Options

Patients considering this surgery are often deciding between implants alone, a lift alone, or doing both together. The right choice depends on what the breast is lacking now.

#### Why Choose Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery for Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift takes more than picking an implant and adding a lift. The whole breast has to be evaluated carefully. Tissue quality, nipple position, skin stretch, implant size, scar pattern, and long-term support all matter.

Dr. Nicholas Jones is a double-board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. That background matters in a procedure like this because the breast has to be reshaped in a way that looks good and holds up well over time. He is also direct about what will work, what will not, and when a patient is asking an implant to do the job of a lift.

Patients at Nip & Tuck receive structured follow-up after surgery as part of the process. Recovery is taken seriously here. The office stays involved as the result settles, and that continued support is part of what helps the outcome hold together.

If you are considering **breast augmentation with lift in Atlanta**, schedule a [consultation](/consultation/) with Dr. Nicholas Jones at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery to talk through what makes sense for your shape, your tissue, and the kind of result you want.

#### Downsize For Relief

**Breast reduction surgery** (or *reduction mammoplasty*) is a surgical procedure done to remove breast tissue and skin to *improve the shape and size of large breasts*. It can relieve the painful symptoms associated with enlarged breasts **(macromastia)**. If you suffer from back pain, neck pain, headaches, grooving in the shoulders, or rashes due to large breasts, breast reduction surgery can offer meaningful relief.

#### What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

This surgical procedure is aimed at *reducing the size and volume of the breasts*.

Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast size. Under general anesthesia, strategic incisions are made around the areola, sometimes extending vertically down the breast and horizontally along the breast crease. The surgeon then reshapes the remaining breast tissue and repositions the nipple-areola complex to match the new breast shape. Breast reduction can provide relief from physical discomfort, improve posture, and boost self-confidence.

#### What Can Breast Reduction Do for Me?

Breast reduction surgery can significantly improve your quality of life by:

- Improved Physical Comfort: Reduce neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts.
- Enhanced Mobility: Improve your ability to participate in physical activities and exercise.
- Better Posture: Achieve a more balanced and confident posture.
- Reduced Skin Irritation: Alleviate discomfort from under-breast rashes and sweating.
- Increased Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your clothing.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Experience better sleep without the weight and discomfort of large breasts.
- Alleviated Emotional Distress: Reduce feelings of self-consciousness and improve overall well-being.

#### Breast Reduction Candidates

The most suitable candidates for **breast reduction surgery in Atlanta** are *large-breasted women* who are experiencing physical discomfort, chronic pain, or emotional distress due to their breast-size.

Eligible candidates often experience back, neck, or shoulder pain due to the weight of their breasts and seek relief from skin irritation and rashes underneath the breast folds. Difficulty in participating in physical activities or finding appropriate clothing can also be addressed through this procedure. However, teenagers may need to wait until breast development is complete, and individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, significant heart or lung problems, or allergies to anesthesia or surgical materials may not qualify. Smoking is discouraged as it can hinder healing and increase risks associated with the surgery.

#### What are Some Common Symptoms of Macromastia?

- Shoulder, neck, and back pain
- **Breast pain** (mastalgia)
- Intertrigo (**rashes under the breast folds**)
- Difficulty fitting clothes
- Shoulder grooving from bra straps
- Limitation in physical activity as a result of large breasts
- Decreased sensation to breasts and nipples

**What is the difference between a breast reduction and a breast lift (mastopexy)?**

A [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/) is purely an aesthetic procedure in which the nipple areolar is repositioned and skin and breast tissue is removed as needed to reshape the breasts. Many of the same techniques are used to perform **breast reduction** with the focus on *removing breast tissue*.

#### Is Breast Reduction Surgery Covered by Insurance?

Many health insurance providers cover the **cost of breast reduction surgery**. Typically, you will visit your plastic surgeon and once they decide you are a candidate for surgery, request for authorization from your insurance will be submitted. Once approved, your **Atlanta breast reduction surgeon** will schedule you for surgery.

You will be responsible for paying your deductible. If your plastic surgeon is not in your network of providers, be sure to check to see if your insurance has out-of-network benefits. Otherwise, you will be responsible for covering the cost of your operation out-of-pocket or through [financing](/patient-resources/financing/).

#### What Will the Breast Reduction Surgery Recovery Be Like?

*The first couple of days you should spend resting at home*. It is important that you have a caregiver for the first 24 – 48 hours. A sports bra should be worn for support to help aid in the healing process and keep tension off of your incisions after your **Atlanta breast reduction surgery**.

Avoidance of strenuous activity for 3-4 weeks may be necessary until your wounds are healed. Pain is usually well controlled with narcotic medicine and once it has been discontinued, you can return to work and be able to drive. There will be a scar, the size of which is dependent on the technique used. It is of utmost importance to *follow your plastic surgeon’s wound care instructions* to get the best possible scar. This may include scar massage and/or silicone gel sheets amongst other adjuncts. There will be a period of swelling and the *breasts shape and size are settled in by 8 weeks*.​​​​​​​

#### Breast Reduction Results

While you'll likely **notice a significant difference in breast size and relief from discomfort immediately after surgery**, the final results of breast reduction surgery take time to fully develop. Most swelling subsides within three to four months, allowing you to see the final breast shape and size. Scars will continue to fade for up to a year, and your breasts may continue to soften and adjust to their new position for several months after that. The results of breast reduction surgery, however, are typically long-lasting, with many women enjoying their improved comfort and appearance for decades.

#### Naturally Sensual

Are you dreaming of *fuller, more youthful breasts without the risks of implant*s? With our **Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation** Atlanta area residents can receive a *natural, personalized approach to breast enhancement*. By using your own body fat, you can achieve a subtle, natural-looking result that complements your unique beauty.

#### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

Whether we’re performing extensive, delicate reconstructive surgery or one of the many simple, in-office procedures we offer, [Dr. Nicholas Jones](/meet-dr-jones/) and the [team](/meet-the-team/) at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery are passionate about outstanding results. We strive for not only great cosmetic outcomes but also incredible patient comfort and confidence.

#### What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

This procedure is *a more natural alternative to traditional breast augmentation* and does not use silicone implants. Also known as **autologous fat transfer** or **fat grafting**, fat transfer breast augmentation uses the patient’s own body fat from other areas and then transplants it into the breasts. Donor areas might include the abdomen, back, or inner thighs. Once the fat is extracted via liposuction, it is purified and then strategically injected into the breasts for *an incredibly natural-looking result*.

#### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Benefits

For women, the appearance of the breasts can be important to the sense of confidence and sensuality. For those looking to build confidence and *improve the size, shape, and balance of their breasts*, along with achieving highly natural-looking results, fat transfer breast augmentation can deliver. With the added positive of fat reduction in other areas of the body in one procedure, this option is an obvious choice for many patients. Our **Atlanta fat transfer breast augmentation** patients enjoy an outstanding list of benefits, including:

- Enhanced breast size and fuller appearance
- Reduced fat in donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or back
- No implant risks during surgery or in the future
- Minimal scarring, especially when compared to traditional augmentation
- Less recovery time

#### Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Candidates

Patients who are interested in this procedure should be in overall good health and near their goal weight but still with enough subcutaneous fat in one or more donor areas for a successful transfer. **Ideal candidates for fat transfer breast augmentation are those looking for a subtle change in breast size but not a dramatic increase**, those who would like to *correct uneven breasts*, and those who are seeking to avoid artificial implants.

#### Consultation and Preparation

At your personalized [consultation](/contact/), Dr. Jones will discuss your unique goals for breast augmentation or other cosmetic enhancement and learn about your medical history before creating a customized treatment plan. Prior to surgery, labs may need to be completed, and certain medications may need adjustments.

#### Procedure

This procedure can be **performed under general anesthesia or sedation** and generally takes around three to four hours to complete. Dr. Jones will start by making tiny incisions in the skin of the donor area to insert a liposuction cannula, which *extracts fat cells for transfer to the breasts*. The collected fat is then processed and purified to ensure proper grafting. Small incisions around the breasts are then used for the injection of the refined fat.

#### Combining Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift or Liposuction

While a **fat transfer breast augmentation adds volume to the breasts**, it does not address sagging or breast ptosis, so many patients opt to combine the procedure with a [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/) or mastopexy. In addition, *this procedure does address smaller pockets of fat that will be transferred*, but additional [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) may be necessary to completely address unwanted body fat and sculpt the body. Combining these procedures offers comprehensive results and a single recovery period.

#### Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

For most patients, **recovery takes about seven to ten days**, with some bruising and swelling that may persist for a few weeks.

Although recovery tends to be slightly easier than with traditional implants, remember that you will also be healing from liposuction, which means there will be two areas that may feel tender and require incision care. Final results may take up to six months to fully develop, and *results are permanent*.

[Schedule your consultation](/contact/) with Dr. Jones today and discover how our expert team can help you achieve the body you've always dreamed of.

#### What is a Body Lift?

A Body Lift, also known as a **Circumferential Body Lift**, is a *transformative surgery tailored for individuals who have undergone substantial weight loss*, either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes. This procedure addresses multiple areas of the body in a single operation, including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, and sometimes the arms, to *remove excess skin and improve body contours*.

#### Body Lift Benefits

A Circumferential Body Lift is a transformative procedure that offers numerous benefits beyond just aesthetic improvements. 

By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues, a Body Lift can significantly enhance your quality of life in several ways.

Excess skin after significant weight loss can cause discomfort and even physical limitations. A Body Lift addresses these issues, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably. Whether it's during exercise or daily activities, you'll experience a new level of ease and mobility.

- **Abdomen:**
- [.indent]Removes sagging skin for a flatter, more toned stomach[]
- [.indent]Enhances muscle definition and improves abdominal contour[]
- **Buttocks:**
- [.indent]Lifts and tightens to achieve a firmer, more youthful shape[]
- [.indent]Reduces the appearance of drooping and enhances overall body symmetry[]
- **Thighs:**
- [.indent]Smooths out the skin for a more sculpted look[]
- [.indent]Eliminates chafing and irritation caused by excess skin[]
- **Arms:**
- [.indent]Tightens loose skin for a more defined and toned appearance[]
- [.indent]Improves the fit and comfort of clothing[]

#### Body Lift Candidates

Ideal candidates for a circumferential Body Lift are individuals who have maintained a stable weight for at least six months, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Here's a detailed look at who makes a good candidate for a Body Lift and what issues this treatment solves:

- **Significant Weight Loss:** The best candidates for a Body Lift are those who have experienced substantial weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes.
- **Stable Weight:** It's crucial that candidates have maintained a stable weight for at least six months before undergoing a Body Lift. This ensures that the results of the surgery will be long-lasting and not affected by further weight fluctuations.
- **Good Overall Health:** Candidates should be in good general health, without any conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks. This includes having no active infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or significant cardiovascular issues.
- **Non-Smokers:** Smoking can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Smokers should be willing to quit for a significant period before and after the surgery.
- **Realistic Expectations:** It's important for candidates to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. While *a Body Lift can significantly improve body contours and eliminate excess skin*, it is not a weight-loss procedure and won't correct all body issues.

#### Contraindications

While a Circumferential Body Lift can have exceptional results for many, there are a few cases where this procedure may not be suitable:

- **Age:** While there is *no specific age limit for a Body Lift*, older individuals may have decreased skin elasticity and healing capacity, which can affect results and recovery.
- **Allergies:** Candidates with allergies to anesthesia or materials used during surgery need to discuss these with their surgeon to ensure appropriate measures are taken.
- **Chronic Health Conditions:** Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiovascular diseases, or autoimmune disorders can increase surgical risks and impede healing, making surgery unsafe.

#### Consultation and Preparation

Working towards a firmer, more contoured body begins with a comprehensive [consultation](/contact/) with Dr. Nicholas Jones at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. During this initial meeting, you can expect a detailed discussion about your personal goals and expectations, a review of your medical history, and a physical examination to locate the areas with excess skin and determine the best surgical approach.

Dr. Jones will take the time to understand the areas of concern, your desired outcomes, and any specific preferences you might have so he can develop a customized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs.

To prepare for your **Body Lift surgery in Atlanta**, Dr. Jones will provide detailed preoperative instructions, including guidelines on eating, drinking, and medications to avoid. If you are a smoker, you will need to quit several weeks before and after the surgery to ensure proper healing. It's important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to prepare your body for the surgery and recovery. Arrange for a friend or family member to assist you during the initial days after the procedure, and set up a comfortable recovery area at home with essential supplies within easy reach. By following these preparation steps and Dr. Jones' instructions, you can help ensure a successful surgery and a smooth recovery, leading to optimal results and a quicker return to normal activities.

#### Procedure

The *Circumferential Body Lift procedure* is designed to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues, creating a smoother, more contoured body. To ensure your comfort, general anesthesia is administered, putting you into a deep sleep. The **surgery generally takes between four to eight hours**, depending on the number of areas being addressed and the complexity of the case.

Dr. Jones begins by making carefully placed incisions to minimize visible scarring, typically around the lower torso and possibly extending to the thighs and arms. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying tissues are tightened to improve body contours. [Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) may be used to further enhance the results.

Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures and surgical drains may be placed to reduce swelling and fluid buildup during the initial recovery period.

#### Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

**The results of a Body Lift are immediately noticeable**, but it's important to understand that the full effects will take time to develop as your body heals. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few weeks post-surgery, and it can take several months for these to fully subside. Most patients are able to return to light activities within two to three weeks, but you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least six weeks. It's crucial to follow Dr. Jones' post-operative instructions carefully, including wearing compression garments as directed to support your new contours and minimize swelling.

How much time and money do you spend on hair removal every month?

Tired of razor bumps, waxing pain, or smelly depilatory creams? Consider laser hair removal as a long-term solution, and enjoy smooth skin, fewer appointments, and say goodbye to stubble.

#### Laser Hair Removalwith Cynosure Apogee+at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

When it comes to laser hair removal, it’s important to seek out qualified providers.

Led by board-certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) Dr. Nicholas Jones, the team at Nip & Tuck is made up of highly trained and educated aesthetic medical staff who understand the importance of both safety and cosmetic quality. That’s why we offer **professional laser hair removal** with the Cynosure Apogee+ for smooth skin and great results.

#### What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that works to **remove areas of unwanted hair** by targeting the hair follicle with a laser to destroy it and slow the cycle of regrowth. A specialized laser penetrates deep under the skin’s surface to the follicle level and essentially vaporizes it while avoiding harm to the surrounding skin. The advantage of the Cynosure Apogee is the integration of an Alexandrite laser, which allows for high melanin absorption and makes this treatment *effective for all Fitzpatrick types*.

#### Benefits of Laser HairRemoval

If you’re *tired of the constant shaving, waxing, threading*, or any number of other tedious and expensive hair removal methods, it may be time to consider laser hair removal. This treatment is convenient, effective, and long-lasting, with most patients enjoying *little or no hair growth for years*. Smoother, hair-free skin can raise your self-confidence and transform your routine. Our **Atlanta laser hair removal** patients see benefits like:

- Lasting reduction in hair growth
- No more buying razors or booking never-ending appointments
- Pain-free, non-invasive treatment
- Smooth skin free from razor bumps or other hair removal side effects

#### What else can the Cynosure Apogee+ do for me?

In addition to **hair removal**, the Cynosure Apogee+ can also treat other aesthetic concerns. With highly customizable settings for depth, this system can *improve the appearance of spider veins* and is *effective for general skin resurfacing* for all skin types. Talk to your provider during a [consultation](/contact/) about this innovative laser.

#### Laser Hair Removal Candidates

Because of the advanced technology used by the Cynosure Apogee+, it **can be used effectively for laser hair removal on all Fitzpatrick types**. This means that many individuals seeking *removal of unwanted hair on the face, arms, legs*, and other areas are good candidates.

To prepare for laser hair removal, we’ll ask that you limit sun exposure and avoid waxing or tweezing for several days.

#### What happensduring laserhair removal?

For most patients, we apply a topical numbing solution to ensure comfort levels. You will be given eye protection, and then your provider will use the specialized handpiece in the treatment area to maximize results.

#### Results, Recovery,and AftercareAfter Laser Hair Removal

**There is no downtime required with this treatment**, but you may experience some mild redness or swelling that will resolve on its own.

Most patients benefit from multiple initial sessions, and you can expect to see a gradual reduction in hair growth as the area goes through its growth cycles.

#### A blend oftwo powerfultechnologies for amazing results

Skin tightening treatments range from creams and massage techniques all the way to going under the knife.

If you’re looking for something more effective than at-home options but aren’t ready to undergo invasive surgery, you may be a good candidate for **minimally-invasive Renuvion J-Plasma Skin Tightening treatments** at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. Using advanced plasma and radiofrequency (RF) technology to tone the skin from within, *Renuvion offers both long-term and quick results* that help you look and feel amazing.

#### Renuvion Skin Tighteningat Nip & TuckPlastic Surgery

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, our goal is not only outstanding aesthetic results but also unparalleled patient care.

Dr. Nicholas Jones and the entire team at Nip & Tuck are skilled, trained, and passionate about giving their patients beautiful outcomes and a phenomenal patient experience. We can help you gain a sense of restored vitality and youthfulness with an Atlanta Renuvion treatment session.

#### What is Renuvion?

Renuvion, also called the Renuvion **J-Plasma** system, is a revolutionary technology that uses two energy-based methods at once to allow for powerful, dual-action results.

Using RF energy, *Renuvion heats the tissues deep under the skin to generate collagen production and boost skin quality*, making it firmer and thicker through gradual transformation. Alongside the RF, cold helium plasma is applied, which rapidly and effectively cools the tissues that are treated. This cooling effect allows for a much higher temperature to be reached with RF energy, meaning more dramatic results. The RF provides results over time while the plasma contracts underlying fibers for a more immediate effect. This dual energy is delivered just below the skin using a specialized tool that is inserted through a tiny incision.

#### Renuvion:What is it?The Skin Tightening Energy DeviceExplained By Dr. Jones from Nip & Tuck

#### Renuvion Skin Tightening vs. Microneedling

Renuvion and Microneedling can both *target loose skin for a smoothing and tightening effect*. During a microneedling procedure, tiny needles are inserted into the skin, micro-damaging the underlying tissues, which boosts collagen production. Microneedling can tighten the skin in small areas as well as diminish scars and correct skin texture. With the combined energy therapies offered by **Renuvion** Atlanta patients of ours can receive a more intense collagen stimulation and fat reduction thanv microneedling offers, for dramatic tightening.

#### Benefits of Renuvion

If you’ve been wondering *how to deal with loose, sagging skin or stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away* even with diet and exercise, **Renuvion could be the answer**.

Build up the confidence to wear that outfit you’ve been saving or just feel better about what you see when you look in the mirror every morning. You deserve to have the body you’ve been waiting for.

**Renuvion has many benefits**:

- Tighter, firmer, smoother skin
- Reduced fat deposits
- Low downtime
- Minimally invasive

#### Am I acandidatefor Renuvion?

If you want to correct skin laxity without the downtime and risks of surgery, *you may be a great candidate for Renuvion*. Ideal patients are in good health and have realistic expectations for what this procedure has to offer. Check out the numerous areas that can be treated with **Renuvion J-Plasma**.

- Neck and jawline
- Forehead and eyelids
- Décolletage or chest
- Breast, underarms, and back bra line
- Upper arms
- Stomach and back
- Thighs and hips

#### Consultationand Preparation

At Nip & Tuck, we take time during a consultation to really get to know you and your aesthetic goals.

Your satisfaction and comfort are paramount, and that starts with a comprehensive and informative consultation. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure, we will discuss those in detail along with your medical history to ensure that **Renuvion is the best option for you**. You will also receive detailed information on how to prepare for Renuvion leading up to your treatment appointment.

#### Procedure

During the procedure, you will be either under general anesthesia or local anesthesia plus sedation.

At the beginning of the treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a tiny incision will be made in the treatment area where Renuvion's thin J-Plasma device is inserted. Once the device is placed right under your skin, it will emit both RF and cold helium plasma into the tissues. The procedure typically takes around 60-90 minutes and is performed in an outpatient setting.

#### Results, Recovery,and Aftercare

Immediately after the procedure, once the numbness wears off, you will likely experience some tenderness and swelling. This should resolve within a few hours.

The length of your recovery time largely depends on the treatment area. Most patients are back to all normal activities within a week or less. With **Renuvion** Atlanta patients of ours are given both immediate and long-term results. A portion of results will be evident right away, while gradual improvement over the following weeks and months will also become evident.

#### Why Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery?

### Content

#### Real Support.Real Results.

Struggling to lose weight, despite doing all the “right” things, is very, very common. You’re not alone—and it’s not just about willpower.

You deserve the support you need to meet your goals. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery we offer an **Atlanta medical weight loss program** that takes the guesswork out of getting to a healthy body weight. With real medical experts guiding you, we help you achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall health in a way that fits your life.

#### Medical Weight Loss at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, our **medical weight loss Atlanta services** are led by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones. We combine real science with one-on-one support to help adults safely and effectively lose weight—and feel more confident in their own skin.

Our medical weight loss program uses GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide), a class of treatments that work with your body to regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, and support sustainable weight loss. These medications are FDA-approved and backed by strong clinical research.

We also incorporate peptide therapies, such as Tesamorelin and Semorelin, for patients who may benefit from extra metabolic and hormonal support. These peptides can help stimulate growth hormone release, improve body composition, and complement the effects of weight loss medications for better overall results.

We build every plan around the person, factoring in your medical history, current weight, lifestyle, eating habits, and wellness goals to make sure it’s both safe and effective.

#### What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a personalized, non-surgical program designed to help people lose weight safely and effectively under the supervision of medical professionals. Unlike fad diets or generic plans, medical weight loss includes tools that actually work, like GLP-1 medications, to help you reach a healthy body weight.

*GLP-1 medications* work by slowing down digestion, making you feel full sooner, and helping control cravings and appetite. That means fewer spikes and crashes, less mindless eating, and better portion control—all of which add up to real, steady progress.

In addition to medication, we’ll provide support with:

- A simple diet plan that supports your energy and nutrition goals
- Exercise guidance for your body and fitness level
- Hormone replacement therapy, if needed, to support better results
- Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust your plan
- Targeted peptide therapy (like Tesamorelin or Semorelin) to support metabolism and growth hormone balance

The goal isn’t just to lose weight—it’s to improve your health, support your well-being, and help you feel more in control of your body and life.

#### Medical Weight Loss Benefits

#### Reaching Your Target Weight Before Surgery

If you’re planning a procedure like a [tummy tuck](/body/tummy-tuck/), [Mommy Makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/), or body contouring surgery, medical weight loss can help you get your body in the best possible place beforehand. Most plastic surgery procedures work best when you're at or near your goal weight. GLP-1 medications can help you lose weight in a medically supervised, steady way—so your results after surgery are safer, longer-lasting, and more satisfying.

A **medically supervised weight loss program** is often helpful for patients who want to prepare for procedures like:

- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Mommy Makeover
- Liposuction or body contouring
- Arm lift, thigh lift, or other post-weight loss surgery

If you’ve been told to get closer to your target weight before scheduling surgery, this medical weight loss program can help you get there in a safe, supportive, and manageable way.

#### Who’s a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

A good candidate for **medical weight loss in Atlanta** is someone who has struggled to lose weight on their own, wants help from medical experts, and is ready to commit to a realistic program.

You may be eligible if:

- Your body mass index is over 27 with a related health issue (like high blood pressure or diabetes), or over 30 without one
- You’ve had trouble maintaining a healthy weight with diet and exercise alone
- You’re experiencing mood swings, low energy, or hormonal imbalances
- You’re looking for holistic wellness solutions that support your total health—not just your appearance

If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we’ll discuss it all during your initial consultation. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and health risks to make sure the program is safe and effective for you.

#### Consultation and Preparation

Your first step is an initial [consultation](/consultation/) at our Atlanta office. During this appointment, we’ll sit down and discuss your weight loss goals, eating habits, lifestyle, medical history, and overall health. We may also order lab work or check hormone levels to look at the bigger picture.

This helps us build a medical weight loss program that’s truly tailored to you—your current weight, daily routine, and wellness goals. We’ll also walk through how much weight you may be able to lose and how long it may take, based on your body and plan.

Before starting, we may ask you to keep a short food log or update your exercise routine slightly. Nothing extreme—just the basics to help you build momentum.

#### Taking GLP-1 Medications

Our **Atlanta medical weight loss** program isn’t a surgery or one-time procedure—it’s an ongoing treatment plan guided by a medical team. Most patients receive a weekly weight loss medication (usually semaglutide or tirzepatide) that helps control appetite, improve blood sugar levels, and slow digestion so you feel full longer.

In addition to medication, your plan may include:

- A realistic diet plan that works with your lifestyle
- Exercise recommendations that meet you where you are
- Hormone replacement therapy, if your labs show it’s needed
- Targeted peptides like Tesamorelin and Semorelin to support growth hormone function and fat metabolism
- Ongoing support and coaching with our team to help you stay on track

There’s no anesthesia, no recovery time, and no downtime—you can start treatment and go about your normal day.

#### Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most patients begin seeing results within 4–6 weeks. You may first notice better control over your appetite, fewer cravings, and a more stable mood. As your weight loss journey continues, you’ll likely feel lighter, more energized, and better in your clothes.

We’ll be there for you throughout the process, helping you make smart changes and keep the weight off. To maintain results, we’ll encourage you to keep up your diet, stick to your healthy habits, and schedule follow-ups to make sure your body is still responding well.

You’ll also learn how to adapt your program over time—because weight loss doesn’t stop at a number on the scale. It’s about feeling good, staying healthy, and building habits that last.

## Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia

**Link:** [Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/paradoxical-adipose-hyperplasia/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/paradoxical-adipose-hyperplasia/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Get the best treatment for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia in Atlanta with plastic surgeon Dr. Jones, to reverse bulging, hardened fat caused by CoolSculpting.

### Content

#### PAH after CoolScultping is a rare buttreatable complication

Does your stomach look bigger after CoolSculpting? Is the treatment area hardened and suspiciously shaped like the applicator used to freeze your unwanted fat?

In your quest for a “new and better you” through the fat-freezing method of cryolipolysis, there can sometimes be a rare but treatable complication known as Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH).

While **there is no evidence that PAH after CoolScultping poses a threat to physical health**, it is a serious side effect that can result in hardened bulges in areas where patients were seeking to slim down and contour. This is obviously not what any patient wants out of a procedure intended to reduce fatty areas, and the disfigurement can be emotionally distressing.

The good news is that Dr. Nicholas Jones is a double-board certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, with experience in treating Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia.

#### What is ParadoxicalAdipose Hyperplasia?

Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia is a rare delayed adverse effect following cryolipolysis, popularly known as CoolSculpting.

**PAH after CoolSCulpting** derives its name from the unexpected, paradoxical result of a treatment intended to freeze, break down, and eliminate fat cells: the overgrowth (hyperplasia) of fatty (adipose) tissue. As a result of this unexpected paradoxical effect, the treatment area becomes enlarged and hardened, usually in the rectangular shape of the CoolSculpting device.

Exactly what causes PAH is not yet completely understood, but it tends to develop anywhere from two to six months after the procedure. While it is not known to have adverse health effects, *Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia does not go away without treatment*.

#### How can PAH after CoolSculpting be treated?

The fatty, hardened bulges that form from Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia can look and feel different than the typical deep fat. Treating PAH requires a qualified plastic surgeon skilled in body contouring procedures, like Dr. Nicholas Jones.

*Most people affected by ****Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia**** require corrective surgery*, such as excision or [liposuction](/body/liposuction/). While surgery and liposuction are typically the primary options for treating PAH, some possible non-invasive treatments include Kybella injections and laser lipolysis.

Your best options for treating and reversing Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia depend on your medical history, the location of the treatment area, and the severity of the condition.

#### Am I a good candidatefor Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia treatment?

*Anyone with Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia is a candidate for treatment*.

Which treatment option is best depends on the individual needs of each patient and the severity of the condition.

While liposuction can be an effective method for reversing PAH, **Atlanta Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia patients typically need to wait as long as six months before the hardened fat softens** in the affected area enough to be safely removed. If you don’t wait long enough for this to happen, PAH can recur.

#### What is Dr. Jones preferred treatment for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?

Here at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, every patient plan is customized to meet each individual patient’s needs.

Typically, patients that have undergone CoolSculpting, there is some scarring beneath the skin, which may cause contour irregularities. This scarring along with PAH makes most patients suitable candidates for VASER liposuction.

The thought process is that the energy source (VASER) via ultrasound energy causes the scars and fat cells to be lysed. After doing so, the fat is removed via suction lipectomy (liposuction), and the skin tightened. This provides multiple benefits including, smoother and tightened skin, less scarring, a faster recovery, and definitive treatment of PAH.

#### Schedule your Paradoxical Adipose HyperplasiaTreatment Consultation with Dr. Nicholas Jones Today

f you are experiencing any of the symptoms of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia, the first step is to confirm the condition and assess the severity of the hardened tissue in the affected areas.

Through consultation and a medical exam for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia [**Atlanta plastic surgeon**](/), Dr. Jones can talk with you about your options and develop a treatment plan that will work best for you.

## Tummy Tuck

**Link:** [Tummy Tuck](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/tummy-tuck/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/tummy-tuck/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** An Atlanta tummy tuck at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery removes excess fat & skin from the stomach area to achieve a flat stomach. Schedule a consultation today!

### Content

*Most of us have one area of the body that we dislike and would most like to change above all others. *A **tummy tuck**, or **abdominoplasty**, is a popular surgery for people looking to get a flatter and more toned stomach.

Even with a healthy lifestyle, many struggle to lose extra skin, stubborn fat, or weak abdominal muscles, especially after major weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. Nicholas Jones, a trusted plastic surgeon in Atlanta, specializes in *customized Atlanta tummy tuck procedures* to address these concerns. Known for his careful and attentive surgical approach, he prioritizes patient safety and comfort. Dr. Jones aims to deliver results that look natural and suit each person's unique needs, making him a top pick for body contouring in the Atlanta area.

#### Why get a Tummy Tuck?

The collagen structure is permanently damaged. As a result, patients are left with excess skin, stretch marks and sagging. In some cases, and particularly in pregnancy, the abdominal muscles may have been so stretched that they have been completely separated (rectus diastasis).

This makes it even harder to regain a firm and flat stomach. Diet and exercise can go some way towards helping, but many patients find that the only way that they can truly restore their previous shape is to undergo a cosmetic surgery known as abdominoplasty. Better known as a **tummy tuck**, *an abdominoplasty is a very popular surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat*, and repairing the underlying rectus abdominis muscle (ab muscles). The goal is to *achieve a firm, flat stomach with a small waist*.

#### What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty procedures are serious surgeries and are performed using a general anesthesia, whereby the patient is asleep throughout the operation.

Precisely what will be involved in your Atlanta tummy tuck will depend on your individual circumstances.

Some patients have what is known as a **mini-tummy tuck**, which focuses purely on the ‘pouch’ between the belly button and pelvic mound. Meanwhile, a full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area, above and below the belly button, and may actually involve repositioning the belly button into a higher position after the muscles, skin, and fat have been improved.

#### What Body Issues Does a Tummy Tuck Address?

A tummy tuck is designed to address several common aesthetic concerns in the abdominal area. For many individuals, factors like genetics, pregnancy, and major weight loss can lead to changes in the body that diet and exercise alone cannot correct. The procedure effectively targets:

The key difference between a Mini Tummy Tuck and a traditional Tummy Tuck lies in the extent of correction. While a full Tummy Tuck addresses both lower and upper abdominal concerns, a *Mini Tummy Tuck* concentrates solely on the lower region. By providing a more streamlined approach, this procedure can offer a significant improvement for patients bothered by a less extensive problem, allowing them to regain confidence in their appearance.

- **Excess Skin**: Sagging or loose skin often remains after weight loss or pregnancy.
- **Stubborn Fat Deposits**: Localized fat that resists diet and exercise, particularly around the lower abdomen.
- **Weakened or Separated Muscles**: Rectus diastasis (muscle separation) can occur post-pregnancy, making it difficult to achieve a flat stomach despite core strengthening exercises.
- **Stretch Marks**: Particularly those below the navel, which may be removed along with excess skin.

#### Tummy Tuck Benefits

A tummy tuck offers numerous benefits beyond just aesthetic improvements. By addressing multiple underlying issues, this procedure helps patients achieve a tighter, more contoured midsection and a boost in self-confidence. The key benefits include:

- A firmer, flatter abdominal profile.
- Removal of excess, sagging skin and reduction of stretch marks.
- Tightening of the abdominal muscles for enhanced core strength.
- Improved body contours, creating a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.
- Long-lasting results with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

#### Types of Tummy Tucks

There are several variations of tummy tuck procedures, each tailored to address specific patient concerns and achieve optimal results. Dr. Jones will help determine the best approach based on your individual needs and goals.

#### What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A **Mini Tummy Tuck**, often referred to as a **partial abdominoplasty**, is a surgical procedure designed to address concerns in the lower abdomen. It's a popular choice for individuals who have minor sagging skin or *excess fat below the belly button* but don't require the full-scale intervention of a traditional Tummy Tuck.

During a Mini Tummy Tuck [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/), Dr. Jones, focuses on tightening the lower abdominal muscles and removing excess skin, resulting in a flatter and more toned appearance. This procedure is less invasive than its counterpart, typically involving a smaller incision and a shorter recovery period, making it an attractive option for those seeking to refine their abdominal contour with minimal downtime.

The key difference between a Mini Tummy Tuck and a traditional Tummy Tuck lies in the extent of correction. While a full Tummy Tuck addresses both lower and upper abdominal concerns, a Mini Tummy Tuck concentrates solely on the lower region. By providing a more streamlined approach, this procedure can offer a significant improvement for patients bothered by a less extensive problem, allowing them to regain confidence in their appearance.

#### Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Ideal patients for **Atlanta abdominoplasty** include:

- Relatively healthy patients (may include patients with medical conditions controlled by medications)
- Has excess skin and fat of the abdomen
- Women with loose skin after child-bearing
- You have realistic expectations about your results
- You are not planning on becoming pregnant
- Stable weight

#### Why Choose Dr. Nicholas Jones?

Choosing the right surgeon is crucial for achieving optimal tummy tuck results. Dr. Nicholas Jones is a board-certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](https://www.drnipandtuck.com) with extensive experience in body contouring procedures. His practice is built on a commitment to safety, precision, and personalized care.

Dr. Jones is known for:

- Delivering natural, aesthetically pleasing results with minimal visible scarring.
- A patient-first philosophy, ensuring all treatment decisions prioritize safety and well-being.

Expertise in advanced techniques, including the addition of liposuction for enhanced contouring.

#### The Cost of a Tummy Tuck in Atlanta

The **cost of a tummy tuck in Atlanta varies, generally ranging from $8,000 to $14,000**. Factors influencing the price include the complexity of the procedure, the type of tummy tuck (mini, full, or extended), and the inclusion of any additional treatments like liposuction. The overall cost typically encompasses:

- **Surgical Fees**: The primary expense for the procedure.
- **Anesthesia Fees**: Administered by a certified anesthetist for patient comfort.
- **Facility Fees**: The cost of using an accredited surgical facility with state-of-the-art equipment.

While the initial investment may seem significant, the long-term benefits and improvements in quality of life often make it worthwhile for many patients. Financing options are available to help make the procedure more accessible.

#### Recovering From [title-sans-medium.block.move-up-under.tan-color]a Tummy Tuck

As it is such an invasive procedure, Atlanta tummy tuck patients must be sure to prepare for a reasonable recovery period. This is needed not only for the incision to heal but also for any underlying muscles to repair and strengthen.

Initially, you will need to allow time for the general anesthetic to wear off. This could take a number of hours, and during this time you will be groggy and confused. You almost certainly will need to stay in for at least 24 hours, possibly longer depending on how the initial healing period goes.

This enables our team to ensure that your recovery gets off to the best possible start. It is absolutely essential that you follow the guidance provided by our surgical team.

This will ensure that you have a healthy, quick and straightforward recovery, but will also support you in achieving the best possible result after your surgery.

Patients who have an abdominoplasty will *usually need to take between two to four weeks off* of work while they heal – longer if you have a very physical job. During this time, you will be given specific instructions relating to:

- Cleaning for your wound
- Wearing a compression garment
- Lymphatic massages
- Scar therapy
- Recording your drain output
- Taking your pain medications
- Moving around so that you don’t develop a blood clot
- Drinking enough fluid
- Eating a healthy, balanced diet

For more information about Atlanta tummy tuck surgery, or to schedule your confidential [consultation](/contact/), please don’t hesitate to contact our experienced cosmetic surgery team in Atlanta, GA.

#### Tummy Tuck Results: What to Expect

You’ll notice a flatter, more toned abdomen immediately after your tummy tuck, but swelling will mask the full results at first.

As the swelling gradually decreases over six to eight weeks, you’ll see significant improvements in your abdominal contour. Full results typically appear within **three to six months**, once all residual swelling has subsided and the tissues have fully settled. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a tummy tuck are long-lasting, although significant weight gain or pregnancy can alter the outcome.

#### Aftercare: Maintaining YourTummy Tuck Results

Proper aftercare is crucial for preserving and extending the longevity of your tummy tuck results.

Maintaining a stable weight, following a balanced diet, and incorporating core-strengthening exercises once healed will help keep your new contour intact. Additionally, protecting your scars from sun exposure, staying hydrated, and attending follow-up appointments with Dr. Jones are key steps for optimal recovery. By adhering to these guidelines, you can enjoy a flatter, firmer abdomen for many years.

#### Correction offeminine genitalia

Women experience a multitude of changes in their bodies throughout their lives. Puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal shifts, weight fluctuations, and more, can all affect the way you look, and in turn, the way you feel. Vaginal Rejuvenation can help to ameliorate these effects.

#### What isVaginalRejuvenation?

While it’s true that no one body is perfect, some women may experience shyness, discomfort, or anxiety regarding certain areas of their body.

For many women, enhancing their femininity and rendering intimate moments more pleasurable can be an important desire, especially if childbirth, or aging, has affected the way their genitalia appears or feels.

**Vaginal rejuvenation can help patients who feel embarrassed or insecure about the appearance of their labia, or the tightness of their vagina.** The term refers to one or more procedures that can be used to address concerns patients may have about this area of their body. In Atlanta, Dr. Jones provides women with a safe and comfortable environment to discuss vaginal rejuvenation as a safe and destigmatized enhancement option.

#### Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Right For Me?

Ideal candidates for a vaginal rejuvenation procedure are women in good general health who have realistic expectations for the surgery and can take time for their recovery.

## Breast Reconstruction

#### Restore A Natural Appearance To Your Breasts

**Breast reconstructive surgery** aims to *restore as fully as possible the normal appearance and function of the breast* prior to the medical trauma.

**Breast reconstructive surgery** aims to *restore as fully as possible the normal appearance and function of the breast* prior to the medical trauma.

#### What is Breast Reconstruction?

*Reconstructive surgery of the breast* is often used to address structural concerns that develop due to a medical condition or trauma.

For example, after a woman undergoes breast cancer surgery like a lumpectomy or mastectomy, or after suffering some other *injury or trauma to the breast that results in loss of volume or shape*, she may elect to undergo **breast reconstruction** to address the tissue loss.

**Atlanta breast reconstruction specialist**, Dr. Nicholas Jones, is known for his compassionate bedside manner in addition to his expert skills and experience. As a double board-certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Jones has performed countless breast reconstruction procedures for satisfied patients in the greater Atlanta area and beyond.

#### Who Can Benefit from Breast Reconstruction?

In many cases, the psychological impact of surviving breast cancer or undergoing some other illness or trauma to the breast can take a toll on a woman’s self-esteem.

It may affect how we perceive ourselves regarding our intimate relationships, how well our clothes fit, and how comfortable we feel in social settings. Studies have found patients who undergo a lumpectomy or mastectomy often struggle with mental health issues like depression and decreased self-image following cancer treatment. Many feel less attractive and some report that their intimate relationships are affected. **Breast reconstruction** can help a woman rebuild her self-esteem as well as her quality of life following *medical trauma to one or both breasts*.

#### Atlanta BreastReconstructionConsultation

If you’re seeking a trusted and respected plastic surgeon to perform your **breast reconstruction** Atlanta double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Jones.

Dr. Joes. is known locally and nationally for his excellence in aesthetic surgery. He works closely with all his patients to understand each individual’s unique needs and concerns and help each individual achieve their aesthetic goal. Contact our friendly office today at [404-777-TUCK](tel:(404) 882-8044) to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jones, or fill out the [online consultation request](/contact/) form.

#### How is Breast Reconstruction Surgery Performed?

To obtain the best possible results, *patients should plan for their breast reconstruction procedure even before they go in for the lumpectomy or mastectomy*. Ideally, your oncologic surgeon who will perform the mastectomy and Dr. Jones, who will perform the **breast reconstruction surgery**, should be in contact and communication with one another.

In many cases, *breast reconstruction may actually be performed simultaneously with a mastectomy*, thus reducing a woman’s psychological and emotional trauma over the loss of her breasts, while also reducing the risk and recovery time associated with having multiple surgeries and exposure to anesthesia.

Breast Reconstruction is typically accomplished by means of breast enhancement procedures like breast augmentation surgery. [Breast augmentation](/breast/breast-augmentation/) may be accomplished either through breast implants or through natural fat grafting, a treatment that uses fat harvested from another area of the body to increase the size of the breast.

The most common reconstruction involves implants. In some instances, an implant can be inserted at time of the cancer operation. However, most patients require a tissue expander to stretch the skin out and after 4 - 6 weeks, the expander can be exchanged for a breast implant.

Some patients are not candidates for breast implants and may need an autologous reconstruction (using your own tissue). During your visit for **breast reconstruction surgery** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones, will have an open discussion with you in which you can discuss your wishes and the options available to you. Dr. Jones is skilled in breast surgery and will work to *sculpt a natural-appearing breast closely resembling your natural breasts*.

In some cases, the nipple and areola may have been damaged or removed during the mastectomy or lumpectomy, and in other cases, the nipples may have to be relocated and re-sculpted to achieve a more natural-looking appearance. In these instances, Dr. Jones may recommend you combine [nipple reconstruction](/breast/nipple-reconstruction/) with **breast reconstruction** to *optimize the natural appearance of the breast in a single surgical session*.

#### Recovery Following Breast Reconstruction Surgery

**Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia**, and you must be prepared to undergo a suitable recovery period to heal from the procedure optimally. When you go home from your surgery, *you will need help with basic household chores so you can rest for several days to recover properly*.

Initially, after the procedure, you can expect to experience soreness, swelling, and bruising that may last for as long as two to three weeks. While all individuals are different, *most women return to normal daily activities within two months following surgery*, although Dr. Jones may advise you to wait longer before doing strenuous or vigorous activities.

## Brow Lift

**Link:** [Brow Lift](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/brow-lift/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/brow-lift/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, an Atlanta brow lift can help reduce the appearance of common aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, & sagging skin.

### Content

*Enhance Your Facial Profile And Brighten Your Entire Visage*

A **brow lift** may be an ideal procedure to *help address signs of aging that are focused primarily on the forehead*. Time, weight changes, sun damage, and various external factors can affect the appearance of our skin and speed up the aging process. Sagging, loose skin, wrinkles, and folds are common side effects that affect both women and men at varying ages.

#### What is a Brow Lift?

A **brow lift**, also known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure that targets the forehead to treat signs of aging and correct skin laxity in the area. Much like the more traditional [facelift](/face/facelift/), this procedure allows a plastic surgeon to pull the skin taut and reduce the appearance of common aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

This can often affect your eyebrows and cause trouble seeing due to drooping skin around the brow and eyes. A brow lift allows patients to *achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance for years to come*, enhancing their facial profile and brightening their entire visage.

Skincare, makeup, and even non-surgical cosmetic enhancements like facial fillers can all offer temporary enhancement, but generally require constant maintenance. As this area continues to sag or loses firmness, it can impact the other areas, leading to sagging in the mid-face section or around the eye. It is not uncommon for patients to combine this treatment with other facial plastic surgery to help achieve a more balanced result.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a facial enhancement procedure popular among men and women in Atlanta who want to *address certain signs of aging, skin laxity, and sagging brows*.

A brow or forehead lift is a facial cosmetic surgery procedure, so it is important for **Atlanta brow lift** patients to be mentally and physically able to undergo surgery. Ideal candidates are in good general health, have a realistic understanding of the surgery and potential results, drink alcohol minimally, and are non-smokers.

The results of each patient will vary, but it is often recommended for patients who want to *address drooping above their eyes, such as around the eyebrows or forehead*.

Patients who have considered a facelift, but don’t need to address such an extensive area, may consider a more focused procedure like a brow lift or [blepharoplasty](/face/blepharoplasty/). During your consultation for a **brow lift** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will help you to determine which procedure is appropriate for you.

#### What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

Unfortunately, there is no real way to stop or slow the aging process. It’s a natural part of life that affects us, although it is often different for everyone.

Some adults may discover it on their hands, others may notice loose skin develop around the midsection. For most patients, however, wrinkling and sagging in the face is often the most problematic. As this is the area that is most exposed to the sun and elements, it often starts to show signs first, often as early as your 20s or 30s.

Some patients may notice that their skin starts to sag dramatically, causing drooping in the forehead, around the eyebrows, or above the eyelids. In these cases, a **brow lift may be a beneficial approach to help address these signs of aging**. Other benefits include:

- *Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, like vertical frown lines between the eyes*
- *Treats forehead furrows, eyebrow wrinkles, and lines above the nasal bridge*
- *Corrects any visual issues due to sagging brows or eyelids*
- *Tighter, smoother skin*
- *A more alert, youthful appearance*

## Male Bbl

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Male BBL by Dr. Nicholas Jones shapes your body and adds volume for a stronger & sharper appearance. Schedule a consultation today!

### Content

*A lot of men want shapely, well-defined buttocks that look strong and full. This, however, has not always been easy to achieve. *[*Atlanta plastic surgeon*](/)*, Dr. Nicholas Jones offers a simple cosmetic solution - the male butt lift.*

Some men attempt to augment their existing profile through a rigorous regime of diet and exercise. Others might have butts that are naturally fat and mostly immune to exercise and diets. Many men look for a process which is not so demanding, to *achieve a more attractive and masculine butt*.

One method of achieving the exact results you want comes courtesy of the **male BBL**. We do not only offer this service to women but make these great results available to men who wish to take advantage of posterior enhancement. This method of butt augmentation uses fat transplanted from another area of your own body and can be completed in a matter of hours, with results you can flaunt for years to come.

#### What isMale BBL?

A male Brazilian Butt Lift is a plastic surgery procedure that involves liposuction, removing fat deposits from unwanted areas, most commonly the abdomen (stomach), waist, and back. The harvested fat is then injected or grafted into the buttocks, creating the desired effect.

The process contours and shapes your body and adds volume, resulting in *a stronger, sharper, and more endowed appearance*. A BBL not only improves the shape and volume of your buttocks but also proportionally reduces your midsection, giving you a much more proportional, consistent look. With one simple procedure, you get to look better, feel better, fit more closely in your clothes, and enjoy a healthy boost in self-confidence and satisfaction.

There are subtle differences between the typical female BBL in which fat is injected into the hips to create softer curves and rounder buttocks. Most **Atlanta male BBL** patients desire a more defined and square buttocks, so fat is not typically injected into the hips. However, Dr. Jones can modify the procedure to get your desired look.

#### Are you a Good Candidate for Male BBL?

You are a good candidate for this procedure if you meet the following guidelines:

- You are in the age range of 25 to 55 years
- You are at or close to your ideal body weight
- You are physically active and in good health
- You are a non-smoker
- You have adequate body fat volume for grafting
- You have realistic expectations from the procedure

#### The Male BBL Procedure

Before the procedure, you will meet with Dr. Jones to ensure that you are an ideal candidate. At that time, he will discuss the procedure with you and get you prepared for surgery. This may include taking medication prescribed by the clinic, altering existing medications, undergoing lab studies including a COVID-19 test.

A male BBL procedure takes about 3-4 hours using general anesthesia. It is a simple, three-part process with the following steps:

- The fat is typically harvested from the upper / lower abdomen, flanks, lower back and hip area using [liposuction](/body/liposuction/). In certain cases, other areas with excess fat, like the arms might also be treated and used as viable sources of healthy fat. Apart from harvesting the fat, the procedure achieves a more defined waist and helps reshape the torso.
- The fat is then separated from the tumescent fluid and blood byproducts aspirated from liposuction. The entire process is done in a closed system, so the fat remains sterile to limit contamination thus reducing the possibility of infection.
- This fat is then injected into the buttock area at varying amounts and depths to *create the right shape, volume, and contour*. Fat is not injected deep to the muscle because it is dangerous and not the standard of practice.

#### Male BBLRisk and Recovery

You might experience some fluid drainage from the liposuction cannula port sites, contour irregularities, bruising, excessive drainage from access sites, changes to your skin surface, inflammation, and bloating.

However, these symptoms go away naturally over time. You would also not be able to sit or put weight on your buttocks for 2-4 weeks after the procedure.

During the recovery, it is important that you wear a compression garment and avoid stress or pressure on the buttock area. In addition, we strongly recommend lymphatic massages within the first 24-36 hours after surgery with a licensed massage therapist that is versed in postoperative care. Overall **recovery from male BBL takes about 4-6 weeks** and *results can be completely visible within 2-3 months*. It is crucial to closely adhere to all instructions and advice provided by our clinic to achieve fast and smooth recovery and the desired results.

Before the procedure, we always make our patients aware of the inherent risks and side effects that can occur.

#### Natural Male BBL

If you want to augment your butt while keeping the look natural and organic, we can do that by implementing rounder curves and larger scale changes to create that natural look. Many people come to us with this requirement, and we have the skills, the experience, and the tools to make this possible for you.

#### How Much Does Male BBL Cost?

The cost of surgery is determined by multiple factors including but not limited to the size of the patient and the amount of fat that must be removed, the experience and demand for the surgeon, and previous surgical history.

During a consultation for **Male BBL** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will include a thorough history and physical examination and an interview about your medical history and goals. From there, Dr. Jones will determine the best course of action to achieve your goals.

Schedule your consultation today and take advantage of a customized plan for your male Brazilian Butt Lift.

## Labiaplasty

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, a labiaplasty address the aesthetics of the vagina. Call to schedule a labiaplasty consultation today!

### Content

#### Atlanta Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that *improves the labia minora and labia majora*, the outermost portion of a woman’s genitalia. The surgery aims to correct a variety of cosmetic conditions that impede a woman’s quality of life or sensuality.

This may include making large or protruding vaginal lips smaller that have stretched due to pregnancy, aging, natural development during puberty, trauma, or other causes, so patients can have a vaginal appearance that suits their unique personal preferences.

Enhancing the appearance of the labia helps many women regain confidence while reducing discomfort or potential embarrassment regarding vaginal appearance. Labiaplasty can be performed alone, or alongside vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening) if desired.

**Atlanta labiaplasty** surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones, MD FACS is known for his compassion and bedside manner in addition to his skills in the operating room. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones combines advanced training in labia reconstruction with an understanding of aesthetics to improve the appearance of the labia according to each woman’s preferences.

#### Who Can Benefit from a Labiaplasty?

Women that are bothered by the appearance of the labia may be ideal candidates for the procedure. Patients should have good mental and physical health to qualify for the procedure.

The best candidates for labiaplasty have realistic expectations about the surgery, understanding that **labiaplasty will reconstruct the existing tissue** to become more pleasing in cosmetic appearance. While *labiaplasty may increase confidence during intimate relations*, it will not directly improve sexual function as the surgery is merely cosmetic. Patients should also understand there is a recovery time during which certain activities are limited.

It is best to avoid nicotine products for several weeks before and after the procedure. Nicotine is widely known to impede healing. Candidates for labiaplasty must also not be pregnant at the time of the operation since the patient must undergo general anesthesia, which is not advisable while gestating for safety reasons.

#### When is the Best Time to Have a Labiaplasty?

While patients may meet with Dr. Jones at any time for a consultation to discuss labiaplasty options, even during pregnancy, it may be best to have the physical examination performed after pregnancy, since hormones and childbirth can affect the final appearance of the labia.

Labiaplasty is excellent for correcting undesirable physical changes to the labia following childbirth. Patients will *achieve the most long-lasting result by choosing to get labiaplasty* when they no longer plan to have additional children.

With that said, it is your individual decision to get labiaplasty due to cosmetic reasons prior to having children if the appearance of the labia is causing discomfort regarding your feminine appearance. Adult women that have not yet had children can benefit from improved self-esteem and body image if they choose to get **labiaplasty** to correct what they consider cosmetically displeasing labia.

#### How Much Does a Labiaplasty Cost?

The cost of labiaplasty in Atlanta is based on the extent of the procedure. As each woman’s genitalia are different, the degree of skin removal may vary.

The **average labiaplasty cost in Atlanta is several thousand dollars**, although this can vary considerably based on the surgeon’s credentials, training, and skills.

Price is understandably a factor when choosing a labiaplasty surgeon in Atlanta. However, a patient’s comfort and confidence in the surgeon’s expertise is equally important. As a double-board certified surgeon with the proper training and experience, Dr. Jones strives to offer competitive pricing that accurately reflects his surgical skill.

With a caring bedside manner and respect for all women, he delivers exceptional results in a respectful and inviting atmosphere. He is a trusted Atlanta labiaplasty expert.

#### How is a Labiaplasty Performed?

After a consultation to establish your aesthetic goals comes surgery day.

Labiaplasty is a one-day procedure so patients can return home the same day. The surgery takes one hour to perform, although additional procedures can increase operating room time.

General anesthesia is used so there is no pain or memory during the surgery for **labiaplasty** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will neatly trim away excess labia according to the aesthetic appearance the patient desires. While each surgery is customized to the patient, many women express an interest in having *a more symmetrical labia majora and labia minora*. The excess labia is carefully removed and then sutured closed for a pleasing cosmetic result.

#### Labiaplasty Recovery

Labiaplasty recovery time varies on the extent of surgery. Most patients *resume normal activities one to two weeks after the procedure*. Swelling, soreness, and bruising are a normal response to surgery. Patients should avoid vigorous physical activities and intimate relations for up to six weeks after the procedure.

#### Labiaplasty Consultation in Atlanta

For women seeking a trusted and respected [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) for **labiaplasty** surgery, Dr. Nicholas Jones offers discreet and professional services to help patients regain control of their femininity with results that exceed expectations.

## Gynecomastia Surgery

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Atlanta gynecomastia surgery at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery removes excess tissue & tightens the pectoral region, producing a lean, contoured, masculine chest.

### Content

#### The development of excess benign breast tissue in men and boys is more commonplace than is commonly thought.

**Gynecomastia Surgery** may be the answer.

Many men and boys, at some point in their lives, develop excessive tissue in the region of the pectoral muscles, creating an appearance like female breasts. Many people are unaware that men also have breast tissue, and excess of breast tissue is known as gynecomastia.

#### What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

For many men and adolescent boys, having unusually **enlarged male breasts** prevents them from enjoying life to the fullest, due to the embarrassment of going shirtless, which may hold them back from enjoying certain outdoor sports or activities like swimming or water sports.

Among teen boys, the problem of bullying is also a menace for those that suffer from gynecomastia, causing psychological trauma that can plant the seed for future emotional challenges.

Luckily, benign enlargement of breast tissue in men and boys may be successfully removed by means of cosmetic surgery, eliminating the problem and restoring a lean and contoured appearance.*Gynecomastia surgery*, also known as *male breast reduction*, removes breast tissue, excess fat and tightens the pectoral region, producing a lean, contoured, masculine chest in men and teen boys.

#### What Causes Gynecomastia?

When it comes to causes of **gynecomastia** Atlanta patients may have a number of factors affecting them, and it may affect men at any age starting from adolescence onward.

In some cases, the condition may be hereditary, or it may be the result of underlying health problems, including glandular or hormonal conditions. 

In other cases, diet and nutrition may play a significant role, particularly in the case of individuals who are eating poorly while leading a sedentary lifestyle. Certain medications and drugs may also exacerbate the problem, causing the breasts to become larger no matter how much exercise you do.

#### GynecomastiaSurgery Benefits

*Gynecomastia surgery* can be truly life-changing for men who struggle with *excess breast tissue*. This treatment helps restore a more traditionally masculine chest contour and helps bring a renewed sense of confidence and comfort in and out of clothing. Whether you've felt limited at the gym or self-conscious at the beach, **male breast reduction** can free you from those worries and help you feel more like yourself again.

Key benefits include:

- Flatter, firmer, more masculine chest appearance
- Enhanced self-esteem and body confidence
- Greater freedom in clothing choices
- Long-lasting results with proper lifestyle habits
- Minimal, discreet scarring
- Improved posture and physical comfort
- Boost in motivation for fitness and wellness

#### Am I A Candidate For Gynecomastia Surgery?

If you're bothered by *excess chest tissue* that doesn't go away with diet or exercise, you may be a strong candidate for **Atlanta gynecomastia surgery**. This procedure is ideal for healthy men who are seeking *a more defined and contoured chest*. Whether your gynecomastia developed during puberty or later in life due to hormonal changes, medications, or lifestyle factors, surgery can provide a lasting solution.

#### Your GynecomastiaSurgery ConsultationAnd Preparation

Your consultation at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery is the first step toward reclaiming your confidence. During your visit, your [board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) will take the time to understand your concerns, review your medical history, and assess your chest anatomy. Photos may be taken for planning purposes, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and review your surgical options.

To prepare for **gynecomastia surgery in Atlanta**, you may be asked to:

- Undergo lab testing or a medical evaluation
- Adjust current medications or supplements
- Stop smoking, if applicable
- Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that can increase bleeding

Our team will provide a detailed pre-op guide so you'll feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.

#### How is GynecomastiaSurgery Performed?

*Male breast reduction* is best achieved by means of aesthetic surgery and is normally performed under general anesthesia. The procedure typically requires the use of hairline incisions that leave barely visible scars designed to fade over time.

Many cases can be addressed with [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) alone. For best results, Dr. Jones may recommend combining **liposuction with gynecomastia surgery** to extract any excess fatty deposits and breast tissue that may remain after surgery, as well as *tighten the skin in the chest and pectoral region*, to enhance contour and muscular definition.

You will need to set aside a few days to rest following gynecomastia surgery, and full recovery may take about 4-6 weeks. You may have to forego such activities as contact sports for as long as two months.

#### GynecomastiaSurgery Atlanta Consultation

Among the Atlanta area’s most trusted and respected cosmetic surgeons is Dr. Nicholas Jones, a double board-certified plastic surgeon who has earned local and national recognition for his skill and expertise in aesthetic procedures for male and female patients, including *gynecomastia procedures*.

Our facility serves male and female patients in the greater Atlanta area and neighboring communities in Georgia.

Call our office today at [404-777-TUCK](tel:404-777-TUCK), or [schedule your consultation](/contact/) online.

#### Is Gynecomastia Surgery the Only Treatment?

In cases where there is an underlying hormonal condition, treatment with oral medication or hormonal supplementation may be indicated and has shown to be successful in some patients.

Making improvements in lifestyle, like eating a healthier diet and getting more exercise, has also helped some gynecomastia patients to achieve a trimmer and leaner appearance in the torso and chest, though there are cases of gynecomastia that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Currently, there are several FDA-approved [non-surgical fat reduction procedures](/non-surgical/medspa/) that may effectively address the issue in less severe cases, and particularly in younger patients.

Procedures like laser therapy are less invasive than surgery and may resolve the issue in some patients, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s aesthetic goals. ​​Cryolipolysis, or fat freezing, is a non-invasive procedure now being used for *targeted fat reduction* and to treat **benign male breast enlargement** caused by excess fat in the chest region.

​​​​​​​But not all patients respond to these non-surgical treatments, and for many, the problem persists. Some patients have simply accumulated an excessive amount of fat cells in the pectoral region and will require some sort of procedure to extract and remove the excess fat to *achieve a leaner and more contoured appearance*. Those patients will require at minimum a [liposuction treatment](/body/liposuction/), or a *liposuction treatment combined with gynecomastia surgery*.

#### GynecomastiaSurgery Results

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their chest shape after surgery, but it's important to remember that swelling and bruising can temporarily mask the final outcome. Most patients see their *full results take shape within 3 to 6 months* as the tissues settle and the swelling fully resolves.

The **results of gynecomastia surgery are long-lasting**. Once fat and glandular tissue are removed, they do not regenerate. However, to maintain your results, it's important to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight gain or substances that can influence hormone levels.

Scarring is minimal, with incisions placed in discreet locations and designed to fade significantly over time.

#### What isRecovery Like AfterGynecomastia Surgery?

It is normal for patients to experience some soreness and swelling in the chest area immediately after the procedure, and these symptoms may last for several days. You will be instructed to wear a compression garment to help the area heal more effectively.

Any discomfort that you experience should be easily treated with over the counter pain medications like Ibuprofen. While most patients return to school, work, and other normal daily activities within a few days following the procedure, Dr. Jones may recommend you avoid strenuous exercise for about three weeks to make sure that your body heals fully before risking any injury to the treatment area.

#### How Much Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?

Every **Atlanta gynecomastia procedure** is personalized to the patient's unique needs.

Factors that influence gynecomastia cost include the extent of tissue removal, whether liposuction is used alone or in combination with glandular excision, and whether any additional procedures are performed at the same time.

#### Why ChooseNip & Tuck Plastic Surgery for Gynecomastia Surgery?

**Type:** Service

**Description:** An Atlanta breast lift at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery reshapes sagging breasts into more perky breasts. Schedule a consultation today!

### Content

#### Dr. Nicholas Jones, an expert plastic surgeon

*based in Atlanta specializes in breast lifts.*

Many women come in for a visit because they want *more youthful appearing breasts*. What are “youthful” breasts? Perky breasts that have upper pole volume with tight skin! As we get older, our bodies began to show signs of aging. For many women, this includes aging breasts. The skin loses its elasticity, the breast tissue thins out and you end up with saggy breasts, wrinkled skin, and nipples below the breast fold. Dr. Nicholas Jones strives to deliver the **best breast lift** Atlanta has to offer & can help you determine if a breast lift is the procedure for you.

#### What Is a Breast Lift?

**The clinical term for a breast lift is mastopexy**. A breast lift involves removing excess skin and breast tissue to correct ptosis, or sagging breasts, as well as improve your breast contour and restore your nipple position.

The breasts will have a more aesthetically pleasing shape and youthful appearance. The nipple may be repositioned to the most projecting part of the breasts. Sometimes, women are unhappy with the size or shape of their areolas. The nipple may also need to be adjusted to balance out the new breast shape. *A breast lift may be combined with other cosmetic procedures* such as [tummy tucks](/body/tummy-tuck/), [breast augmentations](/breast/breast-augmentation/) (augmentation mastopexy), arm lifts, and breast lifts. In many cases, a breast lift can help you achieve your goals and rebuild your confidence.

#### The Benefits of a Breast Lift

Every woman has her own reasons for considering a breast lift. Some want to restore the shape and firmness they once had, while others are looking to feel more confident in their clothes, or out of them. Whether your breasts have changed after pregnancy, weight loss, or just the natural aging process, a breast lift can help you feel more like yourself again. The procedure elevates and reshapes sagging breasts, giving you a perkier, more youthful look. And beyond how it looks, it can help you feel more comfortable in your body, physically and emotionally.

The benefits of getting a breast lift include:

- Fuller and More Shapely Breasts: A lift helps bring your breasts higher on the chest and restores a rounder, more youthful shape.
- Restore the Youthful Contour of Your Breasts: Say goodbye to sagging—this surgery helps reposition both the breast tissue and the nipple for a more lifted appearance.
- Improve Posture and Alleviate Shoulder Pain: Lifting the weight off your chest can ease strain on your back and shoulders, especially if your breasts are pulling you forward.
- Increased Self-Confidence: Many women feel more confident in their clothes, swimwear, and during intimacy after surgery.
- Improved Mobility for Everyday Activities: With a lighter, firmer chest, things like exercise, running, or even just walking upstairs can feel more comfortable.

#### Who Is a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

*Anyone with drooping or sagging breasts might want to consider mastopexy*.

If you are concerned about the shape of your breasts and want to make them appear more youthful without changing your cup size, you may be a candidate for this surgery. A **breast lift** can improve the appearance of women who:

- Have always had loose or sagging breasts
- Have lost breast volume after having a baby
- Have deflated breasts after weight loss
- Have stretched-out skin in the nipple and areola
- Are not happy with the shape or placement of their breasts
- Are happy with the size of their breasts
- Have nipples that point down instead of up or forward
- Are near their ideal weight
- Are done having children

#### Breast Lift Techniques

There are several **mastopexy** techniques. The technique best for you often depends on your body type, breast shape, and goals. We’ll talk to you about your objectives and work with you to make a decision about the best surgical method to use. Dr. Nicholas Jones, expert [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), feels that no one technique is right for every patient and after a thorough evaluation, we will help you select the best technique.

#### Breast Lift Consultation and Preparation

Your [consultation](/contact/) is all about you—your goals, your questions, and what’s realistic for your body. During this first visit, Dr. Jones will sit down with you to talk about what you hope to change and what kind of results are possible.

You’ll go over different lift techniques, incision options, and whether adding implants might help achieve your ideal look. To get ready for surgery, you may be asked to stop certain medications or supplements, avoid smoking, and get lab work done beforehand. We'll also go over what to expect on surgery day, how to prepare your recovery space at home, and what kind of help you’ll need afterward. If you have any questions, big or small, this is the time to ask. We’re here to make sure you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

#### Does a Breast Lift Require Implants?

Many people associate any type of breast enhancement surgery with implants. However, it is not always necessary to get implants with a **breast lift**. If you have enough breast tissue and don’t want to change the size of your breasts, you might be able to accomplish your goals with a mastopexy alone. Implants are used to give more projection and fill of the superior pole of the breasts.

If you do not have enough breast tissue to create a flattering shape, we might suggest adding small [implants](/breast/breast-augmentation/). They can provide *a natural look without inflating the size of your breasts*. It is important to know that placing an implant and performing a lift can be technically challenging. The breast lift is “tightening” the skin, while an implant may be used to expand the skin. These are two opposing forces and can lead to complications if too large of an implant is selected.

#### What To Expect For Your Breast Lift Procedure

On the day of your **breast lift surgery**, you’ll arrive at our accredited surgical center, and our team will help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. The procedure is done under general anesthesia, so you’ll be completely asleep and won’t feel anything during surgery.

Once you’re asleep, Dr. Jones will make the incision pattern you discussed during your consultation. Then, the excess skin is removed, and the underlying breast tissue is reshaped and lifted. If you’re adding implants, they’ll be placed during this same procedure. Once everything is in place, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures and covered with surgical tape.

After surgery, you’ll wear a soft support bra to help your breasts heal in their new shape. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. The entire procedure usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, and most patients go home the same day.

#### When Will You Notice Breast Lift Results?

Depending on the severity of sag that you had before, you will probably notice that **your breasts feel higher, plumper and more supported immediately following the surgery**.

However, you’ll experience swelling for about eight weeks after the procedure. If you have breast implants, they’ll take some time to settle into a natural position. Within approximately two months, you should be ready to shop for new bras that fit your restored silhouette. *The appearance of your breasts will gradually improve within the next year*.

Are you concerned about paying for your breast lift? The procedure costs about $7,000 on average. Insurance doesn’t usually cover this procedure. However, you may qualify for financing.

The best way to determine whether our **Atlanta breast lift** is right for you is to [schedule a consultation](/contact/) with Dr. Nicholas Jones. Perhaps you’re worried that your breasts sag so much that there is no tissue left to lift. You might be concerned about making a choice to get implants. We will answer all of your questions and evaluate your current figure and goals to give you all of the information that you need to make this momentous decision.

#### Recovery after Breast Lift

Recovery depends on the patient and the type of procedure. Most people can return home within two hours after a mastopexy. You should get plenty of rest for the first two days.

However, we recommend that you move around periodically to maintain circulation and ease stiffness and soreness. Even though your chest area may feel painful and sore for the first few days, most **Atlanta breast lift** patients say that medication allows them to tolerate the discomfort. The pain will ease over the first week. You’ll probably feel much better after a week. In fact, by this time, we may clear you to return to an office job and perform light activities. You can start to exercise again within about three to four weeks.

During your consultation, we’ll give you a personalized quote based on your unique surgical plan.

## Brachioplasty

**Type:** Service

**Description:** An Atlanta brachioplasty or, arm lift, at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery removes excess skin and fat from your upper arms giving you the look you've always wanted.

### Content

#### Restore Your Youthful Appearance

The arms, which many love to show off in sleeveless shirts, can either build or reduce confidence depending on their shape and tone.

When the upper arms are slender and well-toned with taut skin, they appear young and healthy. However, when the *underarms have fatty deposits or sagging skin*, which is known as ptosis, they give us a more aged look. Thankfully, a brachioplasty can take care of many of these concerns — *restoring the arms to their youthful beauty*. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the **best brachioplasty Atlanta** has to offer.

#### What is Brachioplasty?

A **brachioplasty,** often called an **arm lift**, is used to *get rid of excessive fat and skin from the underside of the arm*. As you age, your skin often droops and sags. In addition, some younger patients also end up with extra skin in this location if they have lost a significant amount of weight.

This is an invasive procedure that focuses not only on the outer tissues but also on the deeper tissues that affect the overall shape and tone of your arms. With a **brachioplasty,** [Atlanta plastic surgeon](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/), Dr. Nicholas Jones, reshapes the arms by using incisions that will be kept well-hidden on their undersides or backsides, effectively *restoring your youthful appearance*.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for a Brachioplasty?

*There are more than 15,000 arm lifts performed each year in the United States*, and the majority of patients are women.

In addition, most individuals seeking an **Atlanta brachioplasty** are over the age of 40, with a similarly high number of patients over the age of 55. An ideal candidate for this surgery will be in generally good health without any chronic health conditions or acute skin issues that could limit the effectiveness of this procedure or lead to complications.

#### What Are the Types of Brachioplasty?

There are **several types of brachioplasty**, and after being assessed by [Dr. Nicholas Jones](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/meet-dr-jones/), we will together determine which surgical option is best for your needs. In general, the three surgical options most frequently seen include the following:

#### How Should You Prepare for a Brachioplasty?

A proper preparation time can lead to fewer side effects and complications and a shorter, easier recovery period. Preparation for **Atlanta brachioplasty with Dr. Jones** begins with a thorough [consultation](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/contact/). Dr. Jones will go over your past medical and surgical history, perform a thorough physical assessment,

 and ask about your body goals.

Your surgeon may also recommend certain laboratory tests and will advise you to stop smoking and to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners and other drugs that can increase the risk of bleeding, when applicable. Finally, you should prepare for the post-operative period by ensuring you have a caregiver for the first 1-3 days to aid in your care and provide transportation to and from the surgery center.

#### What Are the Benefits of a Brachioplasty?

The most notable benefit of a brachioplasty is *a more youthful and pleasing appearance for the upper arms*. This safe procedure will lift and tighten loose and excessive skin while removing fatty deposits that did not respond to typical weight loss techniques, such as increased physical activity or a healthier diet. In addition, you will *enjoy more natural body proportions, better arm tone, and improved confidence* without having to deal with highly visible scars.

#### What Can You Expect During Recovery?

**The majority of brachioplasties are done on an outpatient basis**, and you can expect to return home the same day for recovery.

It is important that you have a caregiver to drive you home and help you with everyday tasks around the house for the first few days after surgery in order to rest and avoid complications. In addition, it is vital to attend the follow-up appointments, which will usually be scheduled within the first week after surgery and which will give your surgeon a chance to inspect the surgical area.

Upon returning home, you will have your upper arms wrapped in bandages to reduce swelling, control any bleeding, and reduce the risk of infection. At the follow-up appointment, these dressings may be removed.

You should rest for the first several days after surgery and should avoid lifting your arms above the level of your shoulders for the first month. You should avoid vigorous physical activities and most workouts for one to two months to give the area a chance to heal. In addition, you may need to use oral medications to control pain for a brief time. *Most patients can return to work within a couple of weeks following the procedure*.

## Blepharoplasty

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, an Atlanta blepharoplasty can improve droopy, wrinkled eyelids. Call to schedule a consultation today!

### Content

*Our eyes are considered to be one of our most important features.*

While some people do struggle with eye contact, for most of us, when we talk to people we want to look at them and more specifically, make eye contact so that they know that they have our attention and we are interested in what they have to say. However, if you are *unhappy with the appearance of your eyes* it can make you feel incredibly *self-conscious about making eye contact with those around you*.

#### What is a Blepharoplasty?

*Blepharoplasty* is a type of cosmetic surgery that is rising in popularity due to the way it can *transform the appearance of your eyes* and take years off of your appearance.

With a **blepharoplasty** Atlanta patients can address the skin on the upper and/or lower eyelids, removing any excess and tightening it up so that the skin around your eyes looks firmer, smoother and more youthful. Unfortunately, the thin and fragile nature of the skin around our eyes means that it can quickly suffer the effects of ageing – most noticeably sagging and wrinkling. These occur because our body’s natural levels of collagen and elastin drop, causing our skin lose elasticity and droop. This can cause our eyelids to look and feel heavy, and deep lines and wrinkles to form. If you are *unhappy with the appearance of the skin above or below your eyes*, then you may be considering a highly successful and transformative cosmetic surgery procedure known as blepharoplasty.

#### What happens during a Blepharoplasty procedure?

The **blepharoplasty procedure is a fairly short, straightforward procedure** that can be performed under local anesthetic, or combining local anesthetic with sedative medications.

Once you are suitably anesthetized, your surgeon will make small incisions along the natural folds of the eyelid, or alternatively just inside the lower eyelid. By placing the incisions here, *any scarring will be fairly well hidden*. The excess skin will be cut away and then the wounds closed using sutures or sterile sticky strips.

Blepharoplasty is usually considered a suitable cosmetic surgery treatment for patients who have the following issues:

- Lower eyelids that sag and reveal the lower part of the eyeball or more
- Upper eyelids that seem heavy and sag, sometimes so much so that the skin partially obscures the patient’s vision
- Moderate to large bags under the eyes
- Excessive skin around the eyes that is dropping and sagging

#### What happens after Blepharoplasty?

You shouldn’t be in too much discomfort after your **Atlanta blepharoplasty** surgery, but if you are, your surgeon will be happy to prescribe you with some pain relief.

In most cases, you should be able to go home the same day, although you will not be able to drive for a little while and so you should arrange for someone to take you. Your [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) will give you specific advice regarding the aftercare of your eyes.

They will be red, swollen and bruised for a number of weeks, and you may wish to schedule some time away from work until these effects subside. Make sure you follow your surgeon’s instructions, which will include wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from the elements when you go outside and avoiding certain activities such as swimming, until you are fully healed.

Don’t let sagging skin around your eyes make you look and feel older than you really are. *Blepharoplasty can transform your appearance and restore the confidence that you deserve* to have. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery we strive to deliver the **best blepharoplasty** Atlanta has to offer. Contact us today to schedule your consultation appointment.

## Thigh Lift

**Link:** [Thigh Lift](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/thigh-lift/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/thigh-lift/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Tighten and smooth your thighs with a thigh lift in Atlanta at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. Dr. Nicholas Jones removes excess skin and reshapes the thighs for natural, refined contours.

### Content

*You can do everything right—eat well, stay active, lose the weight—and still have skin on your thighs that won’t tighten.*

You’ve done the work—the clean eating, the workouts, the weight loss. And still, there’s that one reminder that won’t go away: loose, sagging skin that clings to the thighs no matter how strong or toned you feel underneath. Time, gravity, or the aging process can leave the skin thinner and less elastic, creating folds that simply won’t respond to effort alone.

A Thigh Lift at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery smooths, tightens, and defines the thighs to match the way you feel: confident, capable, and done waiting for improvement that won’t come on its own. With Dr. Nicholas Jones’s refined approach and detail-oriented technique, patients across Atlanta choose this thigh lift procedure to remove excess skin and fat, refine thigh contour, and reclaim skin that looks as strong as they feel.

#### What is a Thigh Lift?

A Thigh Lift, or thighplasty, is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the inner thighs to restore a smoother, tighter, and more toned contour.

It’s especially popular among patients who have experienced significant weight loss or natural skin laxity from the aging process.

Each **Atlanta thigh lift** is customized to your surgical plan and body type. The goal is always the same: to reduce excess skin, reshape the thighs, and help patients feel more confident in their clothing and their skin.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical facility in Atlanta. Depending on your needs, Dr. Jones may incorporate liposuction for enhanced sculpting and smoother transitions between the thigh and surrounding areas.

#### Combining Thigh Lift with Liposuction

With just a **Thigh Lift** Atlanta patients will certainly resolve loose, excess thigh skin, however, Dr. Jones routinely combines thigh lift with [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) for an even smoother, more refined outcome. This allows for a total-contouring solution that addresses both skin laxity and localized fat pockets.

Liposuction is often performed on the inner thighs to precisely remove additional fat, sculpt the curves of the leg, and ensure a seamless transition between the thigh and surrounding areas.

#### What Arethe Benefits ofa Thigh Lift?

The benefits of thigh lift surgery go beyond the mirror. Many patients describe improved self-esteem, comfort, and mobility after their procedure.

- Removes excess skin and smooths irregular contours
- Reduces friction and chafing between thighs
- Tightens sagging skin for a firmer, youthful appearance
- Addresses stubborn fat that lingers after weight loss
- Improves the proportion between the thighs, hips, and lower body
- Minimizes the look of stretch marks or dimpled skin
- Restores a contoured appearance that looks natural, not overdone

#### What AestheticIssues Does aThigh Lift Address?

#### Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift??

Good candidates for a thigh lift are adults who maintain a stable weight, are in good general health, and want to address loose skin or excess fat on the thighs.

Many patients have undergone weight loss and now want to refine the results by removing excess skin and fat that can’t be tightened through workouts alone.

You should be a non-smoker or willing to quit before and after surgery, as smoking impairs healing and can affect patient safety. Certain medical conditions—like diabetes, circulatory issues, or clotting disorders—may increase risk, so these must be discussed during your thigh lift consultation.

#### Consultationand Preparationfor a Thigh Lift

Your **Atlanta thigh lift consultation** at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery is the start of a collaborative process. Dr. Jones takes time to understand your body goals, assess the thigh contour, and review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate. Together, you’ll design a surgical plan that targets your specific concerns.

Preparation usually involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying hydrated, and avoiding certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk. You’ll also need to plan for a recovery window, arranging for someone to drive you home and assist you for the first few days post-surgery. Dr. Jones and his team will provide personalized pre-op instructions to help you enter surgery confident and prepared.

#### What Happens During a Thigh Lift Procedure??

A thigh lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Jones’s Atlanta office-based surgical suite. The exact incision pattern depends on the amount and location of excess skin and fat to be removed.

For an inner thigh lift, the incision is made along the groin crease and may extend downward toward the knee if a larger area requires tightening. In some cases, a vertical incision is required for more significant correction. Dr. Jones does not typically recommend groin incisions for thigh lifts. This technique often fails over time, as the scar migrates and eventually becomes visible and unappealing.

Once incisions are made, Dr. Jones removes unwanted fat, trims extra skin, and tightens the underlying tissues to create a more toned, sculpted appearance. The surgical site is meticulously closed with layered sutures to promote smooth healing and minimize scarring. Compression dressings or garments are applied immediately after surgery to support the new contour and help control swelling.

#### Results,Recovery, & Aftercare:What Happens After a Thigh Lift?

Recovery is a gradual process, and the first two weeks are the most important for healing. Patients typically wear compression garments for four to six weeks to help reduce swelling, support the new shape, and encourage the skin to adapt to its tighter contour.

You may experience mild discomfort, bruising, or tightness, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients return to light activities after about two weeks, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for six weeks or until cleared by Dr. Jones.

As swelling subsides, your new contours become more visible. By three months, thigh lift results start to settle into their final shape: smoother, firmer, and naturally proportionate. Scars fade gradually and are strategically placed in areas like the groin or inner thigh to remain discreet.

Maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle is essential for preserving results. Though aging continues, patients who stay fit and care for their skin enjoy long-lasting benefits and improved comfort.

#### Potential Risksand Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, a thigh lift carries potential risks. These may include infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, or the need for surgical revision.

Choosing an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Jones significantly reduces these risks through careful planning, sterile technique, and attentive aftercare.

Patient safety is the top priority at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. Every step—from anesthesia to closure—is performed with precision to ensure smooth recovery and satisfactory results.

#### ComparingThigh LiftTypes

Different patients require different levels of correction. Each variation offers specific benefits, and Dr. Jones will recommend the technique that matches your anatomy and desired outcome.

#### Why ChooseNip & TuckPlastic Surgery for a Thigh Lift?

During your personal consultation, Dr. Jones will provide a customized estimate that includes all relevant fees: surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room charges, and follow-up care.

Because each thigh lift procedure is tailored, cost can also differ if it’s combined with additional body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, or lower body lift. Many patients see it as an investment not only in their appearance but also in comfort, clothing fit, and mobility.

#### Define Your Curves with Awake Liposuction

[Dr. Nicholas Jones, board certified plastic surgeon](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/meet-dr-jones/), can help you regain confidence by removing pockets of fat with **awake liposuction**. *This innovative fat reduction technique works great for small, defined fat deposits. Virtually anywhere you can grab or pinch of fat, it can be treated painlessly while you are awake*.

As the founder of [Nip and Tuck Plastic Surgery](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/), Dr. Jones has nearly a decade of experience transforming the bodies and lives of men and women throughout the US and abroad. He is committed to helping you achieve the shapely and toned physique you truly deserve.

Have you been working out and dieting and still have some stubborn areas of fat that bother you? You are not alone. For many people, stubborn fat rolls can lead to lower self-esteem and prevent them from wearing the clothes they love.

#### What is Awake Liposuction?

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that is designed to permanently remove fat with suction. Awake liposuction represents the latest advancement in suction-assisted fat removal.

Unlike traditional [liposuction](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/liposuction/), Dr. Jones removes excess fat under local anesthetic. *You will be fully alert as your body is sculpted, yet there will be no pain during your procedure*. Since general anesthesia is not needed, you can expect to come around from the surgery more quickly. By choosing Dr. Jones as your **Atlanta awake liposuction specialist**, you can eliminate fat on body parts that prevent you from having the body you desire.

#### What areas can Awake Liposuction treat?

Offering gentle and safe **awake liposuction** Atlanta patients at Nip & Tuck can choose from the following areas to reshape:

- Neck
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Upper Back
- Lower Back
- Bra rolls
- Arms
- Hips
- Waist

#### Benefits of Awake Liposuction

As the name suggests, awake liposuction is performed while you are conscious. Traditional liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. While full sedation is considered safe for most people, it does have some risks. Anesthesia also causes grogginess for up to 24 hours. Temporary feelings of nausea can also occur in some cases, which can be uncomfortable. *Awake liposuction avoids these issues entirely*.

The general anesthesia that is used during ordinary liposuction is also more costly since it requires oversight from a highly trained anesthesiologist. It is usually performed in a hospital or outpatient surgery center setting, which can further increase costs. Finally, while serious health risks are rare, many people are simply afraid of anesthesia. **Awake liposuction presents an innovative solution. It is performed with local anesthetic only**. The procedure takes place in the comfort of Dr. Jones’ office. Since you are awake during your procedure, you will have none of the side effects or risks associated with traditional lipo. The recovery time is also faster.​​​​​​​

#### Recovery After Awake Liposuction

While awake liposuction is gentle and painless, it is still an invasive procedure. *You will need to schedule at least one week away from work and daily activities to recover. You should avoid strenuous tasks such as exercise or heavy lifting for eight weeks*.

In order to speed your healing, compression garments are placed on the treated area. They work by reducing swelling and inflammation so you can see the results faster. Aftercare is minimal. Our **Atlanta awake liposuction patients** will be provided with simple instructions to follow in the days and weeks after your procedure. Our office will follow up with you regularly to ensure you have a safe and pleasant recovery. In the rare event that you experience an adverse side effect, our team acts swiftly to correct it. You are in good hands with Dr. Jones and his team.

#### Results of Awake Liposuction

It takes time to see the results of awake liposuction. It is normal for swelling to persist for several weeks or months. As any inflammation subsides, the results of your procedure will become more apparent. Once you have fully recovered, the fat will never come back, unless you gain weight. To maintain your results, it is best to follow a regular diet and exercise plan.

## Scar Revision

**Link:** [Scar Revision](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/scar-revision/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/scar-revision/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, scar revision surgery can eliminate portions of a scar, reducing size or diminishing appearance. Call to schedule today!

### Content

#### Scar RevisionSurgery can help.

Scars, whether they result from accidents, injury, illness, or surgery, may become unsightly, and over time they can change in unpredictable ways, sometimes changing color or raising the surrounding skin. **Scar revision surgery** is a highly individualized treatment designed to *eliminate all or a portion of a scar, reducing its size or otherwise diminishing its appearance*.

#### What IsScar Revision Surgery?

**Scar Revision surgery** may include topical medications, injections, steroids, and/or revision surgery.

Scars vary widely, depending on several factors, including the location and extent of the original injury or surgery, as well as each individual’s natural ability to heal. Other factors include the size and depth of the wound, the flow of blood to the area, the direction of the cut or injury, and the health and condition of your skin.

Although many scars eventually fade away on their own, some scars persist for a lifetime, detracting from an otherwise attractive appearance. Fortunately, thanks to advanced reconstructive surgery techniques, an unsightly scar does not have to be a life sentence. There are several options available for diminishing the appearance of scars and keloids, so you don’t have to live with these marks forever.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for Scar Revision Surgery?

It’s best to observe the behavior of a scar for a period of time before deciding to intervene with scar revision. Dr. Jones may recommend postponing **scar revision surgery** for twelve months or more following the original injury or surgery before determining the course of scar revision surgery.

While many scars at first may appear substantial and bothersome, some will fade away on their own, becoming naturally less visible and cumbersome over time. In cases where scars produce discomfort like soreness and itching, steroids or other medications may provide some relief.

#### Does Scar RevisionSurgery Work onHypertrophic Scars?

Hypertrophic scars are like keloids and the two are often confused, since both may appear as thick, red bumps or lesions.

Hypertrophic scars differ from keloids, however, in that they typically do not exceed the boundaries of the original wound.

Hypertrophic scars often fade and improve naturally over the course of years, so it’s best to observe them for a year or so. Steroid treatments, medications, or injections may assist in accelerating the healing process, and *scar revision surgery* may be performed if the scar does not diminish on its own.

Steroid injections may be administered during the actual surgery, with follow-up treatment sessions required for up to two years.

#### Can Scar Revision Surgery Treat Contractures?

Contractures are scars that result from burns or other injuries that damage a large area of skin.

These scars pull at the edges of the wound by means of a process called contraction. In some cases, contractures may affect muscles and connective tissue surrounding the wound, affecting the Atlanta scar revision surgery patient’s ability to move, and/or causing pain and discomfort.

#### Can Scar Revision SurgeryTotally Erase Scars?

While it is impossible to erase any scar completely, it is possible to *dramatically reduce the visibility of a scar* by means of injections and medications, and through **scar revision surgery**. While it may be impossible to completely erase any scar, revision surgery can dramatically reduce the size, intensity, or color of a scar and diminish its appearance.

#### What AreKeloids?

Keloids are a specific type of scar that typically appears as thick, raised bumps at the site of the original injury or incision. Keloids may be reddish or violet, and appear darker than the surrounding skin.

While keloids may be treated if they cause unpleasant symptoms such as itching or stinging, unfortunately, people who are genetically prone to keloids will typically get them again and again over the course of their lives. Keloids develop when the body produces excessive amounts of collagen during the course of healing a wound, typically continuing to grow long after the wound has healed.

While keloids are said to occur most commonly in the area of the breastbone, chest, throat, shoulders, and earlobes, they may appear anywhere on the body.

Keloids are more frequently seen in people with darker complexions versus those with lighter skin, and the genetic tendency to produce keloids is more common among African descendants than among other ethnic groups.

Because keloids are the result of excessive collagen production, the tendency to develop keloids will often decrease as people get older, when the body naturally decreases its production of collagen.

#### Scar RevisionSurgery Consultationin Atlanta

If you have always wished you could get rid of certain scars or keloids, consider scar revision surgery and/or other reconstructive surgical procedures provided by Dr. Nicholas Jones, a double board-certified [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) serving patients in the greater Atlanta area.

#### Can Scar RevisionSurgery Eliminate Keloids?

Keloids may be treated with steroid injections directly into the scar tissue to treat symptoms like redness, itching, and stinging, and these treatments may also help render the scar less visible, reducing its thickness or color in some cases.

Unfortunately, the tendency to get keloids is hereditary. Scar revision combined with steroid injections or radiation therapy and the wearing of a pressure garment for periods up to a year may provide some relief and diminish the appearance of keloids. Still, keloids are symptoms of a genetic condition, and they will keep coming back, meaning that you’ll need follow-up procedures to control their appearance every few years.

**Description:** Refine your lower abdomen with a mini tummy tuck in Atlanta at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. Dr. Nicholas Jones removes excess skin and tightens muscles for a smoother, flatter stomach. Schedule your consultation today!

### Content

#### A Subtle Resetfor Your Midsection

The lower belly can be one of the hardest areas to reshape, even with the best fitness routine. A **mini tummy tuck** offers a focused way to smooth, tighten, and refine the lower abdomen without the longer scar or downtime of a full abdominoplasty.

For patients in Atlanta looking for a targeted solution to sagging skin or a lingering pouch, this body contouring procedure creates a toned, natural-looking result that feels balanced with the rest of your shape.

In this guide, we’ll cover what an *Atlanta mini tummy tuck* at Dr. Nip & Tuck involves, how it differs from traditional tummy tuck surgery, who makes a good candidate, and what you can expect from consultation through recovery.

#### Mini Tummy Tuckat Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones offers a boutique, high-end approach to tummy tuck procedures.

With training in both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, Dr. Jones understands how to restore the abdominal area in a way that looks natural and feels proportionate. Patients trust him not just for his surgical skill, but for his philosophy: safety, artistry, and genuine care above all else.

Every procedure at Nip & Tuck is personalized. From your first consultation to the final stages of recovery, you’ll feel the difference of a practice that values detail, comfort, and long-term results.

#### What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A **mini tummy tuck**, sometimes called a *mini abdominoplasty* or *partial abdominoplasty*, is a surgical procedure that focuses on the lower abdomen, just below the belly button.

It addresses excess skin and fat in this area, along with mild laxity of the underlying muscles.

Unlike a full tummy tuck, which addresses the entire abdominal area, a mini tummy tuck involves a shorter incision and typically does not require repositioning the belly button. This procedure is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, a small lower abdominal "pooch," or stubborn fat localized below the belly button that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise.

By removing unwanted skin and tightening the lower abdominal muscles, the procedure creates a smoother contour with less downtime compared to traditional abdominoplasty.

#### Mini TummyTuck Benefits

With a **mini tummy tuck** Atlanta area residents are offered results that are both subtle and meaningful.

- Flatter, smoother contour of the lower abdomen
- Removal of excess skin below the belly button
- Repair of mild muscle separation or lax abdominal muscles
- Smaller scar compared to a full tummy tuck scar
- Less recovery time and reduced downtime
- More natural-looking results and improved proportions in clothing
- Boosted confidence and self-esteem through a toned appearance

#### Mini TummyTuck Candidates

The best candidates for a **mini tummy tuck** are healthy patients who are close to their goal weight but frustrated with sagging skin or a small lower belly bulge that won’t improve with exercise. Many are women who notice changes after pregnancy or patients who have experienced modest weight loss. Good skin elasticity above the belly button is important, since this procedure only targets the lower abdominal area.

Candidates should also be committed to maintaining a stable weight and living a healthy lifestyle to preserve their results. Those with stretched skin, mild muscle separation, or stubborn fat beneath the navel often see the most benefit. However, patients planning future pregnancies or significant weight changes may be advised to postpone surgery, and individuals with more extensive laxity may achieve better results with a full tummy tuck or extended abdominoplasty.

#### What Issues Cana Mini TummyTuck Address?

#### Tummy Tuck vs. Mini Tummy Tuck

The main difference is in how much of the abdomen is treated.

A full tummy tuck (traditional abdominoplasty) addresses the entire abdominal area, tightening both the upper and lower muscles and removing a larger amount of skin. It often includes repositioning the belly button to match the new contours. It’s the go-to for patients with significant excess skin, stretched abdominal muscles, or dramatic changes after pregnancy or massive weight loss.

A **mini tummy tuck** is more focused. It concentrates only on the lower abdomen, below the navel, and typically involves a shorter incision with no belly button repositioning. It's more ideal for patients with mild to moderate concerns, such as sagging skin, a small abdominal pouch, or mild separation of the lower abdominal muscles. Because it is less invasive, recovery is generally quicker, scars are shorter, and downtime is reduced.

#### MiniTummy TuckConsultation & Preparation

Every **Atlanta mini tummy tuck** begins with a personal consultation. Dr. Jones will review your medical history, assess your abdominal area, and discuss your goals in detail. This conversation helps create a customized treatment plan that prioritizes safety and natural-looking results.

Preparation often includes reaching a stable weight, stopping smoking, and pausing medications that increase bleeding risk. Patients are also encouraged to plan for time off work and arrange support at home during the first few days after surgery. These steps help ensure a smoother procedure and recovery period.

#### The Mini TummyTuck Procedure

A **mini tummy tuck** is typically performed under general anesthesia, though some cases may allow for sedation with local anesthesia. Dr. Jones places a short, low incision similar in location to a C-section scar. Through this incision, he removes excess skin and fat and tightens the underlying muscles if needed.

The incision is carefully closed to minimize tummy tuck scars, which usually remain hidden under underwear or swimwear. The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and most patients return home the same day.

#### Mini Tummy Tuck Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Patients should expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness during the first week. Light activities can usually be resumed within one to two weeks, while strenuous exercise is restricted for four to six weeks. Surgical drains may sometimes be placed to prevent fluid buildup, and Dr. Jones will guide you on their care.

Mini Tummy Tuck results begin to show once swelling decreases, with a toned abdomen becoming more visible over the following weeks. Final outcomes take shape over several months as tissues settle and scars fade. Scar care products, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle will help maintain the improvements long-term.

#### How Much Does a Mini Tummy Tuck Cost?

The **cost of a mini tummy tuck in Atlanta** varies because each case is unique.

Factors include the extent of excess skin and fat, the use of anesthesia, facility fees, and whether other procedures, such as liposuction, are performed at the same time.

At Nip & Tuck, pricing is transparent and discussed during your consultation. Your quote will typically include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating facility costs, and post-operative follow-ups. By tailoring the procedure to your needs, Dr. Jones ensures you receive value as well as a result that aligns with your goals.

#### Why ChooseNip & Tuck?

Dr. Jones offers more than technical expertise; he offers a boutique experience. Patients choose Nip & Tuck because they feel valued and understood. Every detail, from the consultation process to recovery support, reflects a commitment to patient-first care.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones has advanced training in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

## Chemical Peels

### Content

#### Rejuvenate Your Skin with Chemical Peels in Atlanta

**Chemical peels have been in use since the days of antiquity**, and many different formulations exist to achieve the goal of *rejuvenating the skin by means of triggering the skin’s natural peeling mechanism*.

#### How Do Chemical Peels Work?

**Chemical peels work by means of triggering the body’s natural reaction** to a surface agitant similar to the way the skin peels following a sunburn.

Most chemical peels use an acidic substance to gently remove the skin’s outermost layer, *revealing a fresh new layer of glowing new skin beneath*. While most peels are designed for use on the face, you can also use chemical peels on different areas of the body, including the neck, chest, shoulders, back, buttocks, thighs, and hands. Today, chemical peels are just one more option for rejuvenating the skin by removing dead skin cells, surface impurities and accumulated debris, and triggering collagen production to expose a fresh, new layer of renewed skin cells.

#### What Happens During an Atlanta Chemical Peel?

Before your **chemical peel** is applied, our specialist will cleanse your skin to remove makeup, cosmetics, and oil, as these surface deposits may act as a barrier that prevents the acid from properly penetrating the skin.

An ointment is applied to the skin around delicate areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, to avoid pooling of the acid in those areas. A lip ointment will also be applied to protect the mouth and lips. Following this, the acid is applied gently to the entire face.

The length of time that the acid is left on the skin will depend on the strength and type of peel being applied. If it’s a mild surface peel, the acid will neutralize itself over a period of time, and the patient will be able to simply wash the chemical peel off their skin. In the case of stronger peels, a neutralizing agent is required in order to stop the acid from working after a certain period of time.

The peel works by triggering a chemical reaction in the skin that gently dissolves the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This helps to even out the tone and texture of the skin, and promote increased production of collagen, which *builds plump, voluminous skin cells and healthy, glowing skin*.

#### Types of Chemical Peel Procedures in Atlanta

For people who regularly get chemical peels, the intensity of each peel may be increased gradually over time, producing an increased tolerance to the effect of chemical peels, and gradually decreasing downtime with each peel. There are many types of chemical peels, but most fall into one of three basic categories:

## Chin Cheek Augmentation

**Link:** [Chin Cheek Augmentation](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/chin-cheek-augmentation/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/chin-cheek-augmentation/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** An Atlanta chin augmentation by double board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones achieves a more symmetrical, balanced, & dramatic facial profile.

### Content

Having a strong, structured jawline can be an attractive quality desired by many.

It can help to define your facial profile and draw attention to your cheekbones and facial features. Unfortunately, for many people, their natural structure simply lacks sharpness or has rounded over time due to weight fluctuations, aging, or even changes in their dental structure.

#### What is a Chin Augmentation?

Temporary enhancements can be achieved to help provide more definition or even the illusion of deeper contours, such as through make-up or [facial fillers](/non-surgical/dermal-fillers/). However, these can prove to be tedious, costly, and can sometimes look unnatural. Plus, they are not permanent, meaning patients will have to continuously stay on top of it to have the look they desire.

**Chin augmentation through plastic surgery** is an excellent way for patients to *address imperfections and alter their facial structure to achieve a more dramatic, long-lasting result*. When performed by a high-end physician, like double board-certified plastic surgeon Nicholas Jones, MD, FACS, the effects are natural-looking and help elevate your features to deliver an enhanced aesthetic result.

#### Who Is a Good Candidate for Cheek or Chin Augmentation?

Ideal candidates for facial plastic surgery, like **cheek and chin augmentation**, are adults in good general health who can dedicate time and resources towards undergoing cosmetic enhancements and are able to recover comfortably afterward.

Cheek and chin augmentation is recommended to patients who are unhappy with their natural facial structure or have lost tissue around the cheeks or mouth over time. During your consultation, [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Nicholas Jones can help you understand if this procedure is right for you.

Plastic surgery is a procedure that should be carefully considered before making a decision. It is important to remember that it may not always be an option for everyone. Patients should also understand that the results, surgical procedure, and overall experience may vary from person to person and it is important to have realistic expectations.

#### Why ConsiderCheek and Chin Augmentation?

Do you enjoy seeing a strikingly defined jawline and sharp, contoured cheekbones when you look in the mirror? Then you have probably tried all the different tools, tricks, gadgets, and make-up products available on the market to help contour, shade, highlight, and define our facial structure. Unfortunately, none of these products can offer a long-term solution - which is why its no wonder patients turn to **chin augmentation** and cheek augmentation to help *achieve a more dramatic (and permanent) appearance*. Popular benefits of this procedure include:

#### What to Expect From the Procedure

The approach for your cheek and chin augmentation procedure will vary based on your unique needs, what type of augmentation you desire, and the extent of surgery needed to achieve your results.

Most commonly, the procedure is performed to accommodate the placement of one or more implants to *help achieve the desired facial contour*. The implants your surgeon will use are silicone and can be customized to suit every patient individually. Fat grafting and other techniques may also be used.

During the surgery, a small pocket will be created in the desired area - either the cheeks, chin, or both - and the implant will be carefully placed before the incision is closed. Whenever necessary, excess tissue, skin, or fat can also be trimmed away to ensure a smooth, tight, and natural-looking result.

#### What Are the Expected Results of Cheek and Chin Augmentation?

Patients who undergo facial augmentation of the chin, cheeks or both often report feeling more confident, more attractive, and more comfortable with their appearance. **For those who desire a more masculine jawline**, for example, it can target the area and provide an enhancement around the mouth and chin. **For others who desire higher cheekbones or more defined facial contours** can also achieve this through natural-looking implants or fat grafting.

#### Recovery AfterCheek and Chin Augmentation

Patients should plan to have someone pick them up after their surgery and be available to help them around the house in the first 24 to 48 hours after their procedure. Thankfully, most **Atlanta chin augmentation** patients report a fast recovery time following this procedure and are back to work within two weeks.

This may vary for patients who opt to combine a cheek and chin augmentation with another procedure, like a [brow lift](/face/brow-lift/) or [blepharoplasty](/face/blepharoplasty/). To help reduce inflammation, redness, and any pain after surgery, patients can use cold compresses, ice packs, and pain medication as needed over the first few days. It’s recommended to stock up on soft foods a few days before the procedure, as well, as you may experience some discomfort while eating. Prior to your surgery, Dr. Jones will provide you with care instructions to help aid the healing process and make the entire experience more comfortable.

#### Consultation for Cheek and ChinAugmentation in Atlanta

Are you tired of applying makeup, using tricky gadgets, or following silly trends to try and strengthen or enhance your cheekbones or jawline? A cheek and **chin augmentation** procedure by double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones can help *patients achieve a more symmetrical, balanced, and dramatic facial profile*.

### Content

#### Reshape The Skin And Cartilage Of The Nose

When we meet someone, one of the first things we observe is the nose. As the nose is in the center of the face, it is a focal point. Thereby if the nose is large or there is something as simple as a nosebleed, it is immediately noticeable. Likewise, *nose surgery can result in drastic changes in the appearance of the nose*.

#### What Is a Rhinoplasty?

**Rhinoplasty** is the technical name for a nosejob, which is a surgical procedure that *reshapes the skin and cartilage of the nose as well as the nasal bones* if necessary.

There are several different ways to complete this procedure based on the extent of your concerns with your nose and your surgeon’s assessment. As with any facial cosmetic surgery([facelift](/face/facelift/), [blepharoplasty](/face/blepharoplasty/), [neck lift](/face/neck-lift/)...etc), this is a fully customized experience designed to help you achieve a gorgeous, natural look with highly proportionate facial features.

This procedure is incredibly common in the United States. In fact, there were over 200,000 of these surgeries performed in 2017 alone with a majority of them performed on women. It is also one of the most popular procedures for teenagers although the highest percentage of procedures belongs to those between the ages of 20 and 29.

#### What Is an Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

An ethnic rhinoplasty is a nosejob performed on someone who is not of Caucasian heritage.

Because different ethnicities enjoy different nose shapes, an ethnic **rhinoplasty** ensures that your healed nose appears completely natural for your background whether you are of Hispanic, Asian, African or Middle Eastern heritage. In order to be considered for this surgery, you must be old enough for your facial bones to be done growing. For girls, this is typically not until the age of 14 while it may not be until the age of 16 for boys.

#### What Happens During Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Before your surgery begins, you will have general anesthesia so that you can rest quietly and comfortably. Once you are asleep, your surgeon will make the appropriate incisions based on the nosejob type you have discussed. He or she will then use specialized techniques to achieve your desired look.

​​​​​​​These techniques could include reducing the size of bones and cartilage or using special sutures to shape areas gently. Finally, your plastic surgeon will close the incisions with sutures, and may pack the nose to decrease drainage and help with the healing process in the first few days following surgery. You will be allowed to wake up from your anesthesia and should return home that day.

#### What Are the Types of Rhinoplasty?

The two most common types are closed **rhinoplasty** and open rhinoplasty. The endonasal or closed rhinoplasty can be done with fewer incisions and carries fewer risks of scarring and other complications.

Your surgeon will hide any incisions inside your nose. With an external or open rhinoplasty, the incisions will be more visible because your surgeon will be cutting across the columella, which is the tissue between your two nostrils. You will also have additional incisions in each nostril.

This provides your surgeon with a better view of the cartilage and bones in your nose and is best used in cases that require more adjustments. In some cases, your surgeon may place cartilage grafts to enhance or change the shape of your nose.

Finally, a revision rhinoplasty may be used to correct a previous procedure that did not heal correctly or that did not provide you with the look you wanted. Not only will your surgeon make new incisions to reach the cartilage and bones, but also he may use skin grafts to aid in the healing process.

#### Rhinoplasty Consultation

If you are unhappy with the shape and size of your nose, we encourage you to give our office a call today. A quick consultation may be all that you need to get answers to any questions that you have and to determine if a **rhinoplasty** could be the right option for you. We can also discuss common costs with you as well as options to help you finance your procedure. By addressing something that has been bothering you for some time, you can improve your self-image and gain confidence for the rest of your life.

#### How Long Is the RhinoplastyRecovery Period?

While you should feel well enough to return to light activities around the house in two days and to return to work in one week, you should know that you will not see the full results of the surgery until several months afterwards. This is because your nose will continue to shift and change shape for up to six months after a closed rhinoplasty and up to a year after an open rhinoplasty.

Initially, you will need to rest quietly at home to protect your new incisions and will need to keep your head elevated to decrease swelling. You will also be given instructions for what medications to take for any pain you have. It is vital that you return to see your plastic surgeon for a follow-up appointment when scheduled so that he or she can evaluate your nose is healing and whether the packing and splints can be removed.

#### Achieve SmoothYouthful AndBlemish Free Skin

Addressing signs of aging in our bodies can be tricky, especially for patients who are experiencing issues like hair loss or facial wrinkling.

Skin rejuvenation treatments are a common solution for patients who are struggling to address imperfections in their skin or appearance, including wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, or drooping. It can also be an excellent option for patients who are looking for hair restoration options or want to enhance their [facial fillers](/non-surgical/dermal-fillers/) or nonsurgical cosmetic procedure.

#### What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma, more commonly known as PRP, is a treatment option that utilizes the platelets of a person’s blood to rejuvenate and repair damage caused by external factors and aging. This procedure is ideal for patients who are interested in skin rejuvenation therapy, and it can help reduce the need for harsher or invasive procedures.

For many of us, *achieving smooth, youthful, and blemish-free skin* is a significant beauty goal. Sun exposure, loss of collagen over time, aging, weight fluctuations, and more can all affect our appearance over time. Unfortunately, these signs often develop in the face and can make it difficult for patients to feel confident about themselves and their current appearance.

Thankfully, there are many ways for patients to address common aesthetic and medical issues in the skin, like wrinkles, sagging, fine lines, redness, hyperpigmentation, dryness, acne, and more.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?

As with most procedures, PRP is not recommended for everyone. Patients who are in good general health, have realistic expectations and understand the PRP procedure may be eligible to receive the treatment. PRP is highly regarded for the fact it *reduces the risk of allergies*, as it required harvesting the patient’s blood.

In many cases, it is recommended as an intensification to a skin enhancement treatment to maximize the results and boost any aesthetic benefits of the original treatment. The best way to determine if PRP treatments are appropriate for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jones in Atlanta. Dr. Nip & Tuck strives to deliver the **best PRP therapy** Atlanta has to offer and offers his expertise to men and women of all ages considering PRP therapy.

#### Benefits ofPRP Therapy

PRP therapy is considered a high-end treatment option or supplementary addition to cosmetic surgery by both **Atlanta prp therapy** patients and plastic surgeons alike. This is likely thanks to its diverse benefits, including:

- *Reducing the appearance of wrinkles*
- *Addressing the appearance of sunspots, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation*
- *Boosting elasticity and vitality in the skin*
- *Increasing natural collagen production*
- *Reducing the risk of allergy*
- *Providing softer, smoother, and tighter skin*
- *Beneficial for all skin types and textures*

#### Why Consider PRP Therapy?

Have you been considering a non-surgical approach to boost your appearance, address imperfections in the skin, or reduce the appearance of wrinkles or other signs of aging in your face? Platelet-rich plasma treatment may be an excellent choice for you.

PRP is one of the most versatile treatment options available for patients interested in non-surgical solutions. This makes it a highly coveted beauty experience! Thanks to its ability to be applied to various cosmetic concerns, patients can opt to incorporate PRP with their facial fillers, hair treatments, pain management and more.

#### Consultation forPRP therapyin Atlanta

#### What to Expectfrom PRP Therapy

Before undergoing a PRP procedure, Dr. Jones will first discuss any risks, concerns, and the procedure with you.

Since **PRP therapy** is such a delicate procedure that should be carefully administered and monitored by the company implementing it, it can also offer individual patients the ability to receive high-end treatments for their facial procedures. The actual procedure will likely vary on where the PRP treatment is being administered and if it is in conjunction with another procedure.

Prior to the procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm. After it has been extracted, the blood will be put through a specialized centrifuge. This will separate and concentrate the blood platelets, ultimately producing the platelet-rich plasma that surgeons will then use in their medical enhancement treatments.

From here, many treatments can be administered using PRP, including hair loss treatment, [microneedling](/non-surgical/microneedling/), dermal injections and more. Our traditional **PRP therapy** is administered topically, like a face mask or skin peel.

#### What DoesLymphatic Massage Do?

Lymphatic massages have many uses. It was first developed to reduce swelling and fluid accumulation after surgery, especially in the arms following a mastectomy for breast cancer.

Improving circulation and reducing post-surgical swelling allows for faster healing and less strain on the body’s internal organs, as well as veins and arteries.

The lymph system, along with the body’s circulatory system, is responsible for moving fluid through tissues and around the body. Surgery can put additional strain on these systems during healing. Lymphatic massage *helps the body work more efficiently and can reduce swelling and improve healing time for a smoother and more comfortable recovery*.

#### What can Lymphatic Massage Do for Me?

Dr. Jones recommends his **lymphatic massage & cavitation in Atlanta** to help the body achieve an ideal recovery after surgery, especially for body contouring procedures. Our licensed massage therapist offers gentle, hands-on lymphatic massage to aid with the following:

- Post [liposuction](/body/liposuction/)--to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of lumpiness, and minimize bruising, to improve shape, minimize firmness

#### What is Cavitation?

Cavitation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes the power of ultrasound therapy to break up fat cells around the body, including the abdomen, back, thighs, and upper arms.

It is an effective option for patients who do not wish to undergo traditional liposuction, and for most patients who undergo multiple treatments, the results are permanent.

#### Lymphatic MassageCombined with Cavitation

Lymphatic massage, along with cavitation, is an effective adjuvant therapy that can improve healing time, reduce scarring and bruising, and smooth out lumpiness to help you recover from your surgical procedure.

After any surgery, the body is stimulated to begin the healing process. As **lymphatic massage & cavitation is comfortable and safe**, it also uses cutting edge technology to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities to create a synergistic approach to wellness and restoration.

## Microdermabrasion

**Link:** [Microdermabrasion](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/microdermabrasion/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/microdermabrasion/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, microdermabrasion renews skin’s tone & texture, gently sanding away imperfections, dead skin, oil, and debris.

### Content

#### Visible Improvements With Very Little Risk And No Downtime

**Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive skincare procedure** that renews the skin’s overall tone and texture by gently sanding away surface imperfections along with dead skin cells, oil, and debris. Microdermabrasion produces luminous skin with increased brilliance, and a smoother, softer texture. *Microdermabrasion also helps to diminish the appearance of surface skin imperfections* such as blemishes, acne scars, and sunspots.

#### Why Should I Consider Microdermabrasion?

*Microdermabrasion is used to effectively improve the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, melasma, and other skin conditions*. Microdermabrasion can also rejuvenate the facial appearance by diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion is a safe and relatively inexpensive cosmetic procedure that produces visible improvements with very little risk and no downtime.

**Benefits of Microdermabrasion Treatment:**

The most significant benefits that **microdermabrasion imparts to the skin are a renewed, smoother tone and texture**, a reduction in surface imperfections, and an increase in the skin’s natural collagen production, which is the body’s innate response to the treatment’s gentle scraping of the skin’s outermost layer. This means that the results of a microdermabrasion treatment will continue to improve the condition of your skin over time, due to increased collagen production in your skin cells.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

**Microdermabrasion is safe and effective** for use among healthy adult individuals with most skin types. The procedure is especially suitable for those who wish to treat the following skin conditions:

- Acne blemishes and acne scars
- Dull looking complexion and surface dryness
- Enlarged pores and blackheads
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation, age spots, freckles, and sunspots
- [Melasma](https://www.healthline.com/health/melasma)
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone and texture

#### How Often Should I Get Microdermabrasion Treatments?

**Results will be visible immediately after each Atlanta microdermabrasion** treatment session and will last for several weeks. [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Jones may prescribe an initial number of treatment sessions, with periodic follow-up sessions, depending on the goal of the treatment.

#### How Should I Prepare for Microdermabrasion?

During your initial consultation for **microdermabrasion** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will come in and discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, and evaluate your condition to determine if microdermabrasion is the most suitable treatment to help you achieve your goals. At this time, you should inform him of any previous cosmetic procedures you’ve had, as well as allergies, medical conditions, and medications that you take.

Because microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment, there is very little that you will have to do to prepare for the procedure. Dr. Jones may recommend that you avoid waxing, tanning creams, and exposure to the sun’s rays for about a week before your microdermabrasion treatment, and suspend the use of any exfoliating cleansers and lotions for at least three days prior to your treatment.

#### Recovery After Microdermabrasion Procedure

**Microdermabrasion requires no downtime following treatment**, and *you can resume normal activities immediately*. You may be advised to avoid the use of topical acne medications for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

You must also continue to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, as your skin will become much more sensitive to the sun’s rays for several weeks after each microdermabrasion treatment. You should also hold off on the use of any harsh cleansers or exfoliating lotions until at least one week following each treatment. It is also important to keep your skin properly moisturized to help preserve the results of each microdermabrasion treatment session. Dr. Jones can recommend top-quality skincare products that will *keep your skin properly hydrated and looking its best*.

#### Consultation for Microdermabrasion in Atlanta

For residents of the greater Atlanta, GA area who want microdermabrasion treatments performed under medical supervision, Dr. Nicholas Jones, a qualified double board-certified physician, is a trusted provider of microdermabrasion and other surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic treatments.

## Microneedling

**Link:** [Microneedling](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/microneedling/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/microneedling/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, microneedling kick-starts the body’s natural healing process to help produce newer, smoother, & more youthful skin.

### Content

#### Newer, Smoother, and MoreYouthful Skin

**Microneedling** is a rejuvenating cosmetic procedure popular for its skin benefits and treatment versatility. *Microneedling kick-starts the body’s natural healing process to help produce newer, smoother, and more youthful skin*.

#### What isMicroneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), uses carefully crafted tools and techniques to puncture the skin using small, sterile needles.

These tiny needles create micro-injuries that then stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. The body sends new, healing cells to the treated areas, which helps achieve smoother, tighter, and clearer skin.

Popular methods of collagen induction therapy include microneedling, dermarolling, or skin needling. This is an excellent method of rejuvenating the skin and helping your natural beauty shine through previously dull, damaged skin. It is an extremely versatile treatment, available on its own or as a booster for other MedSpa procedures. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Nicholas Jones, MD, FACS, offers CIT through **microneedling** treatments in our MedSpa center.

#### What are the Benefits of Microneedling?

**Microneedling can be used to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of many ailments**, including signs of aging and skin conditions. When *combined with other treatments, it can boost the results, helping serums and solutions penetrate deep into the layers of skin*. It can even reduce healing times, as it causes the body to send regenerative cells to the area. Microneedling is a popular procedure among patients of many different ages and skin types. This may be due to its long list of benefits and incredible results.

**Microneedling can help to treat many blemishes, including:**

- Acne
- Alopecia and types of hair loss
- Enlarged pores
- Loose skin
- Scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and dark patches on the skin

#### Microneedling Candidates

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive technique that can be administered on many different skin types and conditions. It is most prevalent in patients above 40, however many of our younger **Atlanta microneedling** patients find that combining it with other procedures can boost their final results. Some patients may not be ideal candidates for this procedure and instead may benefit from different cosmetic enhancements.

Patients with deep scars, wrinkles, or severe acne may not be eligible for microneedling. Additionally, those with medical concerns like diabetes or conditions requiring blood thinners or anticoagulants should consult with Dr. Jones, as they may not be optimal candidates for this type of treatment.

#### WhichAreas CanMicroneedling Treat?

*Microneedling is a skin-enhancing treatment*, but it is typically reserved for areas most susceptible to the sun and side effects of aging. It is commonly performed on the face or the hands. In some cases, Microneedling can be performed in other areas, such as the stomach, thighs, buttocks, or arms.

At Nip & Tuck’s MedSpa center, we offer customizable treatments for microneedling and similar procedures. During your initial consultation for **microneedling** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones will help you plan your ideal cosmetic treatment.

#### How SoonWill I SeeMicroneedling Results?

The results of a standalone microneedling treatment will slowly reveal themselves, with full visibility appearing around four to six weeks. Since this treatment relies on the body’s own cells to help *rejuvenate and refresh the upper layers of skin*, patients will begin to see an improvement as the new cells are forming.

**There is no downtime for a microneedling procedure**, which means patients will not need to take any time off or suffer from pain or discomfort for an extended period. There may be slight inflammation and redness after the initial application, but this subsides naturally or with the application of cold compresses.

#### Combining Microneedlingwith Other Treatments

It is common for patients to combine their microneedling treatment with other rejuvenating cosmetic procedures to maximize their results and improve their appearance more dramatically. Popular options to combine with microneedling include:

- Injectables, such as [Botox](/non-surgical/botox/) or [facial fillers](/non-surgical/dermal-fillers/)
- [Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy](/non-surgical/prp/)
- [Microdermabrasion](/non-surgical/microdermabrasion/)
- Laser therapy

#### MicroneedlingConsultation

Dr. Nicholas Jones is a licensed, double board-certified plastic surgeon who has years of expertise and experience in cosmetic procedures. During your consultation for microneedling **Atlanta Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Jones** will learn about you and your unique needs and aesthetic aspirations, he can then help you make an educated decision on whether microneedling is right for you.

## Keloid Excision

**Link:** [Keloid Excision](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/keloid-excision/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/keloid-excision/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, keloid removal, removes keloids & prevents them from recurring. Call to schedule a consultation today!

### Content

Keloids are extremely difficult to treat and they have an extremely high recurrence rate. In addition, some keloids can be so large that there are not many reasonable options.

#### Introducing Superficial Radiotherapy (SRT) for Keloid Prevention

Dr. Jones is pleased to announce the addition of superficial radiotherapy (SRT) for keloid treatment at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery. SRT treatments are incredibly effective at stopping the recurrence of keloids following removal. In more than 94% of cases, treatment sites that were given SRT therapy were *successfully cured of further keloid growth*.

Superficial radiotherapy works by targeting the cells that cause keloid growth with a level of radiation that only affects the superficial layers of the skin - hence, superficial radiotherapy. Following the removal of the keloid, patients receive 2-3 consecutive days of SRT treatments. These quick, painless **Atlanta keloid treatments** destroy the cells that cause keloid growth without negatively impacting the rest of the body.

#### What is a Keloid?

A keloid is an abnormal proliferation of scar tissue that grows beyond the borders of the original scar. They usually form at the site of cutaneous injury (i.e. – surgical site incision, traumatic wounds, burns, acne scars); Unlike hypertrophic scars in which they share similar findings microscopically, hypertrophic scars are raised but do not grow beyond the borders of the initial wound.

Are certain populations at higher risks for keloids?

Yes. Persons of darker pigmented skin are at a higher risk for developing keloids. This includes individuals of Asian descent, African, and Latino. Also, individuals that have a history of keloid scars are more prone to develop subsequent keloids. Some of the typical symptoms of keloids are:

- Itching
- Pain at the site of the scar
- Bleeding
- Hypersensitivity to touch
- Change in size over time (typically increase in size)

#### What are some of the treatment options?

In my experience, darker skinned individuals have superior results because the hyperpigmentation is nearly undetectable. Individuals with keloids in high-tension areas have the highest rate of recurrence. This includes areas such as the back, shoulder, and chest. For those seeking medical consultation, please make sure the physician you visit is well versed in the various treatments for keloids. Also visit your state board of medicine to verify that your physician is certified. I would also suggest that you review his/her before and after photos.

## Botox

**Link:** [Botox](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/botox/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/botox/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Atlanta Botox available with Dr. Nicholas Jones. Botox helps take years off your appearance, reducing fine lines and wrinkles that make you look older, worried or angry.

### Content

#### Look YearsYounger

**Botox** is one of the world’s oldest and most popular cosmetic treatments and continues to be a favorite dermal injection, celebrated widely among patients and doctors alike. *Botox can help you take years off your appearance* by tightening and firming the upper facial and brow area and reducing the appearance of annoying fine lines and wrinkles, you look older than you are, or imparting an impression of worry or anger to your facial expression.

#### What is Botox?

Botox Cosmetic is a prescription-based *neurotoxin* medication made from *botulinum* toxin, a natural substance produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The FDA has approved botulinum toxin for various uses, and has been used widely for many years in the medical field to treat certain types of muscular conditions, as well as hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration). It is also used cosmetically to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and lines and produce a firmer skin texture by temporarily immobilizing certain facial muscles.

As a dermal injection, Botox has been used for decades to rejuvenate and improve the facial appearance of patients seeking to diminish the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles in the upper facial region. Due to its safety and efficacy, Botox continues to be widely used for facial rejuvenation. For those seeking **Botox in Atlanta** or the greater area, double board-certified [Atlanta plastic and reconstructive surgeon](/meet-dr-jones/) Dr. Nicholas Jones delivers [beautiful results](/testimonials/).

#### How Does Botox Work?

When it comes to any kind of *Botox injection*, one should always seek administration exclusively by a trained healthcare professional. The proprietary formula is typically injected directly into the deeper layers of the patient’s muscle tissue in the brow region to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and furrows between the eyebrows.

Botox Cosmetic targets facial muscles that create wrinkles caused by repetitive gestures and even subtle movements. The treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the treated muscles, causing a reduction in these minute muscular movements that lead to the formation of wrinkles and lines over time. This reduction in muscle activity reduces the formation of those moderate to severe lines that form between the eyebrows while also relaxing the lines and wrinkles that have already formed in the past, leading to a refreshed, rejuvenated facial appearance.

#### Botox Cosmetic vs Juvéderm and Revanesse

Botox, Juvéderm, and Revanesse are all popular [dermal injectables](/non-surgical/dermal-fillers/) used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They each have their own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to have a consultation to determine which is right for you. 

Botox Cosmetic is a neuromodulator made of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles causing wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful, smoother appearance.

Botox typically lasts for 3-4 months and is most effective on dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet and forehead lines. Juvéderm is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the skin. It works by adding volume to areas of the face that have lost collagen and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Juvéderm typically lasts for 6-12 months and is most effective on static wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).

Revanesse is a dermal filler made from polylactic acid, a synthetic version of lactic acid. It works to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Revanesse typically lasts for 9-12 months and is most effective on static wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).

#### Who is a Good Candidate for Botox Treatment?

For treatment with **Botox**, adults who are beginning to recognize frown lines that develop between the eyebrows and sagging skin in the upper facial region are our ideal candidates. Candidates must also be in good health.

Neuromodulators are effective in:

- Smoothing out crow's feet
- Reducing forehead wrinkles
- Diminishing the appearance of fine lines
- Achieving a more youthful appearance overall

#### What Type of Results Can I Expect From Botox?

Botox Cosmetic produces a more relaxed, smoother, and firmer appearance in the upper facial region, particularly the area surrounding the eyebrows. While you will recognize some improvements immediately after the injections are administered, the more dramatic results of your treatment will typically show up gradually within a few days. Following your **Atlanta Botox treatment**, you will continue to see an improvement in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles for up to 30 days.

#### How Long IsBotox Recovery?

Good news: Botox Cosmetic has virtually no downtime. Most patients walk out of their appointment and go straight back to work, errands, or even lunch with friends. That said, there are a few simple things to keep in mind right after treatment to make sure your results look their best:

- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Hold off on intense workouts for the rest of the day.
- Skip facials, saunas, and hot yoga for 24–48 hours.

You might notice a little redness or swelling around the injection sites, but it typically fades within a few hours. Some people may have mild bruising, which can be covered with makeup if needed. Overall, it’s one of the easiest cosmetic treatments to fit into a busy schedule. You can literally do it on your lunch break.

#### How Much Does Botox Cost in Atlanta?

The **cost of Botox in Atlanta** typically ranges between $200–$500. An important factor in the variation of price is based on the injector’s expertise, which is a vital component in the safety and efficacy of this product. Further reasons for differential pricing are in the need to first assess an individual's treatment areas, such as forehead lines or crow’s feet, and to accurately determine how much injectable solution would achieve the best results. To get a personalized quote, schedule a consultation with us.

#### Add Natural Plumpness and Give Your Lips a Distinct Shape

*Lush, full lips* can make anyone’s face instantly appear more attractive. The challenge is that many patients have thin lips that lack volume and definition. Some people are simply born this way, while others find their lips lose fullness and develop a poorly defined lip border due to aging.

Regardless of your reason for considering **lip fillers** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Jones, the founder of Dr. Nip & Tuck, can help. Over the years, he has demonstrated a mastery of aesthetics and comes highly rated as an Atlanta lip filler specialist. His precise lip injection techniques will *enhance your pout and add beautiful definition*.

If you want to refresh your appearance with *a simple procedure that doesn’t cost much, doesn’t carry many risks, and doesn’t require a lengthy recovery period*, consider rejuvenating your smile with **Atlanta lip fillers** at Nip & Tuck. Lip fillers refer to using injectable products to *increase lip volume*. Fillers are also excellent for *diminishing vertical lip lines and providing a more defined lip border*.

#### Lip Fillers vs Surgical Lip Augmentation

Fillers are a popular alternative to surgical lip enhancement. Unlike the bullhorn lip lift and lip implants, the results are not permanent. This allows you to adjust your lips according to your changing preferences over time. *Lip fillers have fewer risks and side effects than surgery* and there is virtually no downtime. The **cost of lip fillers in Atlanta** is also considerably lower, so there is less barrier to entry if you want to *give your lips a more luscious appearance*.

#### Am I a good candidate for Lip Fillers?

When it comes to **lip fillers** Atlanta candidates are those who have *naturally thin lips, a poorly defined vermilion border, lip lines, or volume loss due to aging*. To qualify for the procedure, you must be at least 21 years old and in good health. Individuals with bleeding disorders, a history of keloid scars, oral herpes, or an active infection at the injection site are not the best candidates. Pregnant and nursing women should not have lip injections.

You may be a good candidate for **Atlanta lip injections** if you have:

- Thin lips
- Lip wrinkles
- A poorly defined lip border
- Loss of volume due to aging

#### Benefits of Lip Fillers

*Lip injections can reduce vertical lip lines and add fullness for a smoother, plumper pout*. The lips lose volume with age, so restoring volume can give the lips and face a more youthful appearance. Plump lips are considered attractive in many cultures, so many patients see Dr. Jones for **Atlanta lip injections** to heighten their natural beauty.

Lip fillers offers the following advantages:

- *A more youthful face and lips*
- *Improved harmony of the facial features*
- *Smoother lips and elimination of lip wrinkles and feathering*

#### Types of Lip Fillers

#### Procedure

*Your procedure can sometimes be scheduled for the same day as your consultation*, keeping in mind that you will have a few days of social downtime afterward. For enhanced comfort, Dr. Jones will apply your choice of ice or topical numbing cream, which takes effect in three to five minutes. In addition, some **lip fillers** contain a small amount of lidocaine to ease injection site pain. Once your lips are numbed, he will strategically inject the filler into the desired areas.

#### Aftercare and Recovery

*Expect some social downtime*. Your lips may appear excessively full at first due to swelling. Tenderness and redness can last a few days. Bruising, if it occurs, may last from one to two weeks.

With that said, **there is no true downtime after receiving Atlanta lip fillers**, so if you feel comfortable going in public, nothing is stopping you from it. However, avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours and avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements such as vitamin E. To tame inflammation, ice your lips according to Dr. Jones’ instructions. This will hasten your recovery and bring the swelling down. Also, remember not to apply too much pressure. He may also advise avoiding kissing, biting, or touching your lips for about 24 hours.

#### Lip Filler Swelling Stages

Your lips are one of the most delicate areas of your face. As such, they are prone to inflammation and redness straight after the injections. Swelling can appear pronounced at first, but it should start to subside two to three days after your treatment. Allergic reactions to fillers, especially HA injectables, are relatively uncommon. However, a small number of patients experience prolonged redness, swelling, itching, and hardening of the lip tissue at the injection site. Nearly all of the swelling resolves in a week. Here is what to expect:

#### Lip Filler Results

After recovering from your procedure with Dr. Jones, *your lips will take on a more naturally defined and voluptuous appearance* while still looking like your own lips.

At Dr. Nip & Tuck, you can expect a **realistic-looking lip fillers** that *makes your lips as attractive as possible without looking overdone*. Dr. Jones has undergone rigorous training in the art of cosmetic injectables. His precision techniques allow him to avoid cosmetic issues such as the dreaded ‘duck lips’ effect in which the lips appear overfilled.

Results vary from person to person. Your body may metabolize the product quicker than others. Generally speaking, injectable fillers for the lips last from three to 12 months based on the product you and your doctor select.

## Skin Cancer Treatment

**Link:** [Skin Cancer Treatment](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/skin-cancer/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/non-surgical/skin-cancer/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, we offer multiple treatments to remove skin cancer & make sure it stays away. Call to schedule a consultation today!

### Content

Skin cancer is a type of cancer where clusters of abnormal cells grow on the skin. If left unchecked, skin cancer can spread throughout the body and become a very serious and sometimes fatal diagnosis.

However, if it is caught and treated early, skin cancer has one of the highest survival rates of all cancers. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jones offers patients multiple **Atlanta skin cancer treatment** options to remove skin cancer from the body and make sure it stays gone.

#### Is thatSkin Cancer?

*There is no “eyeball test” for skin cancer* . Because there are so many different types of skin cancer and so many variations to how it acts, the only real way to make sure a spot on the skin is cancerous is to have the site biopsied and tested.

However, there are a few general guidelines to look for when determining whether or not you should have a spot checked for cancer. [The American Cancer Society](https://www.cancer.org/) recommends the “ABCDE Rule” when examining whether or not a spot is cancerous:

- Asymmetry: One half of the mark or spot appears different than the other.
- Border: The edges of the spot are ragged or irregular.
- Color: The color is not consistent - sometimes including shades of brown, black, red, pink, white, or even blue hues.
- Diameter: The diameter of the spot is larger than a ¼’ - about the size of a grain of rice.
- Evolving: The spot’s size, shape, or color has changed.

If the spot in question matches one or more of the “ABCDE” requirements, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Jones at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta. During your appointment for **skin cancer treatment** Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Jones can help provide guidance on diagnosis and treatment options that may be available to catch any skin cancer early and keep it from spreading.

#### Melanoma vs.Non-melanomaSkin Cancer

*Most skin cancers are classified as either melanoma or non-melanoma*. There are some important differences between these two main designations that are important in terms of risk and treatment.

#### Superficial Radiotherapy (SRT) for Non-melanoma Skin Cancer

At Atlanta’s Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Dr. Nicholas Jones offers his patients **superficial radiotherapy (SRT), an effective and non-invasive skin cancer treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer**.

Superficial radiotherapy works by isolating and targeting the affected cells with a low energy form of radiation that only affects those cells, without damaging the rest of the body.

#### WhySRT?

The most important reason why Dr. Jones offers SRT is - it works and some patients are not good candidates for excision.

SRT boasts a 95%+ cure rate when used to *treat non-melanoma skin cancer*. In addition to its cure rate, here are some other benefits to using SRT as a treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer:

- Non-invasive
- Non-surgical
- Faster recovery
- Faster treatment
- No cutting required
- No antibiotics necessary
- No interruption of day-to-day activities
- No scarring (possible hypopigmentation)
- No stoppage of blood thinners necessary

Given the other treatment options out there, Dr. Jones believes SRT is an effective way to address non-melanoma skin cancer permanently.

#### The SRT Process

When you first come to Nip & Tuck for treatment, we will review your case and determine your eligibility for SRT.

You can ask Dr. Jones and our staff questions and we will guide you through what to expect for the treatment process.

The initial consultations will also include a *simulation phase, where photos, ultrasound images, and treatment parameters* are entered into a computer model to document their effectiveness.

#### Treatment

Your **skin cancer treatment will consist of a series of 20 sessions**, spread out over a course of time that works for you (2x,3x,4x, or 5x/week).

SRT is usually not affected by the occasional break in treatment. Each treatment usually lasts about 15 minutes and is painless. You will receive less radiation in the area than you would normally receive during a chest X-ray.

#### Aftercare

In between treatments, you will want to cover the area with *clothing or sunscreen as it is more sensitive to sunlight* while being treated. You will also need to avoid using perfumes, deodorants, or other medicine on the area without checking with Dr. Jones first.

Dr. Jones and his team will provide you with a comprehensive plan should you decide to choose SRT for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. This treatment plan will help you prep for treatment and minimize complications.

#### Let’s Handle This,Together

Skin cancer is serious, but it is treatable - especially with early detection. If you suspect that you might have skin cancer or have been diagnosed with skin cancer, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Jones today to get started on your path to recovery.

#### [title-sans-small.gradient-dark.block]Reduce or Stop the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Looking to achieve a smoother, plumper facial appearance? **Dermal fillers** offer a non-surgical solution to reduce wrinkles and restore lost volume. At Nip & Tuck, we provide personalized Atlanta Dermal Filler treatments to deliver natural-looking results. Experience the expertise of Dr. Jones, a double board-certified plastic surgeon serving the Atlanta community.

#### What Are Dermal Fillers?

**Dermal Fillers** (or facial fillers) are cosmetic treatments that are used to *help reduce or stop the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face.*

These products are non-surgical and are administered through a series of injections into the targeted areas. They are typically given in an office setting and do not require advanced medical care facilities. If you are looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines, [contact our offices today to schedule a consultation](/contact/). We can review your desired outcome and current situation to help recommend the best options for you.

#### Am I a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Our **Atlanta Dermal Fillers** are excellent options for residents who want noticeable changes to their profile, fuller lips, and a visible reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Our facial fillers offer patients minimal downtime and are not permanent, but are an excellent non-invasive, non-surgical option.

#### What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Non-permanent and non-invasive, **Dermal Fillers** offer dramatic results in reducing the signs of aging, improving the appearance of scars, and adding volume to sunken areas of your face.

#### What Happens During A Dermal Filler Treatment?

Your **Atlanta dermal filler appointment** at Nip & Tuck is quick, comfortable, and personalized to you. Before we get started, we’ll cleanse the area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Most modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps keep the treatment as pain-free as possible.

Once you're comfortable, we’ll carefully inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula. The entire procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how many areas you’d like to enhance. You'll be able to head out and continue your day right after your visit, no surgery or extended downtime needed.

#### What Can I Expect For Recovery After Dermal Fillers?

One of the biggest perks of dermal fillers is that there’s little to no downtime. Most of our Atlanta patients can go right back to their day.

Whether that’s running errands or heading to work, immediately after their appointment. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites is normal, but these effects usually fade within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous workouts, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours to help your results settle smoothly. Otherwise, recovery is minimal and easy to manage.

#### When Will I See Results From My Dermal Filler Treatment, And How Long Will They Last?

You’ll notice results right away after your treatment: plumper lips, smoother contours, and softened lines. That said, it could take about 7 to 14 days for any swelling to subside and for your final results to fully settle in. How long those results last depends on the type of filler used and how your body metabolizes it, but most fillers offer lasting results between six months to two years. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the expected timeline for your specific filler.

#### Natural-Looking Breast Augmentation

**Breast augmentation in Atlanta** is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Whether you're looking to add volume, restore your shape after pregnancy or weight loss, or simply feel more confident in your skin, breast augmentation can help you get there.

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Dr. Nicholas Jones specializes in creating shapelier breasts that look and feel natural. Double board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Jones takes a personalized approach to every breast augmentation procedure. He carefully listens to your goals and works with your natural breast tissue and body shape to deliver results that are balanced and beautiful, not overly done. As a double board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon, he uses advanced techniques to help Atlanta breast augmentation patients get the exact results they’ll love.

#### What is Breast Augmentation?

**Breast augmentation** is a type of cosmetic breast surgery that enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Most women choose this procedure to get fuller breasts, fix asymmetry, or bring back lost volume after pregnancy or weight changes. During surgery, the implant is placed under your natural breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your goals and body type.

Some patients combine breast augmentation with other aesthetic procedures, like a [breast lift](/breast/breast-lift/) or [mommy makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/), for even better results. Others may find that implants alone provide just the right amount of lift and shape. Dr. Jones customizes each plan so you can reach your unique aesthetic goals in the most natural way possible. By assessing your chest width and tissue along with your personalized needs and wants, he helps you select the best breast implants Atlanta has to offer.

#### Breast Implant Options

Choosing the right breast implant is one of the most important parts of your breast augmentation.

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, we help you explore every option, from the type and size of the implant to where it's placed. Dr. Jones considers your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal preferences to guide you toward the best choice to help enhance your figure and boost confidence. Whether you want subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, we’ll walk you through everything so you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

#### Types of Breast Implants

When it comes to **breast augmentation**, one of the first decisions you’ll make is whether to go with saline, silicone, or fat transfer. Each option offers different benefits depending on your body type, goals, and personal preferences.

#### Implant Placement

Breast implants can be placed above or below the pectoral muscle, and each option has its pros and cons.

Placement under the muscle (submuscular) often gives a more natural slope and can help hide implant edges, especially in women with thinner skin or less natural breast tissue. Implants placed above the muscle (subglandular) may have a quicker recovery and work well for women with more natural tissue. Dr. Jones will recommend the best placement based on your anatomy and desired outcome. His goal is to make sure your results look as natural and flattering as possible.

#### Breast Implant Shapes

The shape of your breast implant can make a big difference in your final look. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, we offer both round and teardrop-shaped implants to help you achieve your ideal breast contour.

#### Incision Placement

Breast augmentation involves a small incision that allows the surgeon to create a space (called the breast pocket) for the implant. These incisions are made in discreet locations to help reduce visible scarring.

Common incision options include:

- **Inframammary (Under The Breast Crease)**: This is the most common option and gives the surgeon great control during implant placement.
- **Periareolar (Around The Edge Of The Nipple)**: Blends well with the natural color change between skin and areola.
- **Transaxillary (In The Armpit)**: Avoids any scarring on the breast itself, though it’s a bit more technically complex.

Scars typically fade over time, and most patients find that they’re very minimal within a year.

#### Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to breast implants, which is exactly why the [consultation](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/contact/) is so important. Dr. Jones will take time to understand your goals, answer all your questions, and guide you through every **Atlanta breast augmentation procedure** option.

From implant types and sizes to placement and incision locations. This is your chance to talk openly about the look you want and get expert advice tailored to your body. To get the most out of your consultation, come prepared. Bring photos of results you like, wear comfortable clothing, and be ready to discuss your health history and lifestyle. Whether you want natural-looking results or a more noticeable change, we’ll help you design a breast augmentation plan so *you can make a fully informed decision before proceeding with treatment*.

#### Benefits of Breast Implants

*Breast augmentation isn’t just about size*—it’s about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. Many women say that after surgery, they feel more balanced, feminine, and confident in clothes (and out of them).

Whether you’ve always wanted larger breasts or you’re looking to restore what was lost after pregnancy or weight loss, breast implants can help you feel more like yourself. Here are just a few of the **benefits of breast enhancement surgery**:

- Adds volume to naturally small breasts
- Restores breast shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Helps fix uneven or asymmetrical breasts
- Boosts self-confidence and body image
- Improves how clothing and swimsuits fit
- Creates a more youthful and feminine silhouette
- Offers long-lasting, customizable results
- Can be combined with a breast lift for even more dramatic improvements

#### Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Most healthy women who want to change the size or shape of their breasts are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery. Whether you're looking for a subtle lift or more dramatic curves, this procedure is designed to help you reach your personal aesthetic goals.

Here’s what makes someone a good candidate for breast implants:

- You're in good overall health with no untreated medical conditions
- You don’t smoke, or you’re willing to quit before and after surgery
- You have realistic expectations about your results
- You’re bothered by small or uneven breasts
- Your breasts have lost volume due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
- You’re not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You’re over the age of 18 for saline implants or over 22 for silicone implants

#### Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Once you’ve finalized your choices during your consultation, it’s time for surgery day. Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll go home the same day. It’s done under general anesthesia, so you’ll be completely asleep and won’t feel a thing during surgery.

During the procedure, Dr. Jones makes a small incision and creates a space called the breast pocket to place the implant. The implant is positioned either under the breast tissue or pectoral muscle, depending on your body and goals. Once everything is in place, the incision is closed with sutures, often dissolvable, and the area is wrapped in a surgical bra to support healing. The whole surgery usually takes about one to two hours.

#### Breast Augmentation Recovery

Recovery from breast augmentation surgery is fairly straightforward. You might wake up from the anesthesia feeling groggy. You’ll likely be sore. We’ll give you pain medication for any post-operative discomfort. Someone should drive you home from the surgery and monitor you overnight.

Most patients are able to move around the next day. However, you’ll still feel sore for the first five to seven days. During that time, you’ll probably want to rest and take it easy. Talk to your surgeon about your plans for continuing the pain medication. Many patients benefit from wearing special recovery bras to ease pain, accelerate healing, and keep their implants stable.

You’ll need to wear a bra around the clock after surgery. Therefore, make sure that it’s seamless and breathable. Do not wear a wired bra, it may irritate your incision. You’ll probably feel better in the second week. Don’t perform strenuous exercise for several weeks following the procedure. You shouldn’t jump, run, lift children, or do any other vigorous movements until you have completely recovered. If your job requires you to do physical labor, you might want to take off for three weeks to one month. You should be cleared for all activities within two months.

#### Breast Augmentation Results

**Breast augmentation results** are noticeable right away, but they continue to improve as your body heals. Right after surgery, your breasts may look higher or feel firmer than expected—this is completely normal. Swelling and tightness are part of the process and will settle with time.

Here’s a general timeline of what to expect:

- Week 1: You’ll feel sore and tight, especially around the chest. Swelling is common, and you’ll be wearing a supportive sports bra or surgical bra.
- Weeks 2–4: The implants start to settle, and you’ll feel more like yourself. Most patients return to non-physical work within a week.
- Weeks 6–8: Swelling continues to go down, and you’ll start to see your true breast shape. You’ll likely be cleared for exercise and other activities.
- 3–6 Months: Your final results are becoming more visible. The implants drop into place, and your breasts will look and feel more natural.
- 1 Year: This is when you’ll see your full, final result. Scars continue to fade, and your breasts will look beautifully settled and soft.

Most patients love their new look and say the confidence boost is well worth the recovery process.

#### Cost of Breast Augmentation in Atlanta

**Atlanta breast augmentation costs typically range from $7,000 to $9,000**, depending on the implant type. This includes pre- and post-op visits, anesthesia, surgical materials, and recovery garments.

However, please note that prescription pain medications are not included in our service charge and cannot be dispensed by us. To secure your surgery date, a deposit of $1500 is to be paid ahead of time. The leftover amount should be paid three weeks before the agreed-upon procedure. Since insurance companies do not typically cover cosmetic surgeries, we offer cash payments in addition to accepted major credit cards and/or [patient financing options](/patient-resources/financing/) for your convenience.

## Facelift

**Link:** [Facelift](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/facelift/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/face/facelift/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** An Atlanta facelift at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery imparts a youthful appearance to the face & neck by lifting & tightening the skin. Call to schedule today!

### Content

#### Enhance Your Facial Features By Design

As we get older, everything starts to go south, as a consequence of the force of gravity, the aging process, the effects of the natural elements, as well as toxic pollutants and chemical agents on our skin. For many adults, this translates into lax, sagging skin, jowls at the jawline, drooping cheeks, and lines and wrinkles everywhere. These effects can be addressed with a **facelift**.

#### What is a Facelift?

A **facelift**, known medically as a *rhytidectomy*, is a surgical procedure that imparts a more youthful appearance to the face and neck by lifting and tightening the skin of the face and enhancing the definition of the facial features while reducing the appearance of sagging skin as well as lines and wrinkles.

During the procedure, the skin of the face is lifted and pulled to create a tighter, firmer appearance, increasing contour and youthful definition. Patients may opt for a full facelift, or for a mini-facelift that focuses exclusively on the lower face, lifting the mouth and jaw area, as well as the chin and throat. During your [consultation](/contact/) for a facelift, Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Jones will evaluate your condition, taking into account several factors like your age, the health of your skin, your lifestyle habits, and your genetic history, to determine if a facelift may be an optimal solution to take years off your appearance and regain your youthful confidence.

#### Benefits of a Facelift

A facelift restores a smoother, more youthful appearance by lifting and tightening sagging skin. It helps define the jawline, soften deep creases, and *improve overall facial harmony*. Many patients feel more confident and refreshed after surgery, with results that look natural and age gracefully.

With a **facelift** Atlanta patients can expect some of the following benefits:

- Firmer, tighter skin along the face and jaw
- A more defined neckline and lower face contour
- Smoother appearance of deep lines and jowls
- A refreshed, more alert look
- Improved self-confidence
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Better balance between how you feel and how you look

#### Who is a Good Candidatefor a Facelift?

A facelift is suitable for healthy adults who are beginning to notice the signs of aging in their facial appearance.

Signs like crow’s feet, laugh lines, loss of facial volume in the cheeks, drooping skin, and marionette lines extending from the nose to the edges of the mouth, are all signs you might be an appropriate candidate for a facelift. Depending on your age, the condition of your skin, and your aesthetic goals, Dr. Jones can recommend an optimal treatment plan for you, which may include a full facelift, a *mini facelift*, or a series of less invasive nonsurgical procedures. He may also decide to recommend a combination of surgical and nonsurgical procedures to provide the most optimal results possible. Be sure to inform Dr. Jones about any medications that you are taking before you prepare for your **Atlanta facelift procedure**. You may have to suspend use of certain medications in preparation for plastic surgery. Dr. Jones will advise you before surgery of any precautions you should take in this regard.

#### What Aesthetic Issues Does a Facelift Address?

While there are many non-surgical cosmetic procedures available to provide dramatic rejuvenation and facial improvements, including laser treatments, [microneedling](/non-surgical/microneedling/), and [dermal fillers](/non-surgical/dermal-fillers/), none of these procedures can actually deliver what a facelift is capable of achieving. A surgical facelift is a more comprehensive procedure in which the surgeon has full control of the outcome and can enhance a patient’s facial features by design.

With a **facelift** Atlanta patients can address several issues at once, including loss of facial definition, lax skin, wrinkles and lines, jowls, and drooping features. If you’re looking for a total makeover that will take years off your appearance and keep you looking more youthful for years to come, a facelift is the procedure of choice.

#### What to Expect During a Facelift

A facelift is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. Typically, the procedure requires a minor hairline incision camouflaged at the hairline or around the ears, through which Dr. Jones gently lifts the skin away from the facial muscles. This allows him to precisely re-sculpt the facial features by manipulating and tightening muscle tissue and relocating facial fat.

Following this, he then gently pulls the skin in an upward direction, trimming away excess skin and fat before suturing. Typically, a small incision is made beneath the chin to tighten the skin around the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and sagging double chin, as well as tightening muscle tissue in the neck and throat.

#### Recovery After a Facelift

In addition to making sure that you have someone to drive you home following your **Atlanta facelift** procedure, you will also need to prepare for your recovery following the surgery, as you may require several days of complete rest. Make sure you have meals prepared and frozen in advance, or arrange to have someone prepare meals for you while you recover, as you will not be able to cook for several days following the surgery.

You will also have to refrain from strenuous exercise for several weeks. Typically, bruising and swelling will peak at about two days after facelift surgery, and these symptoms may continue for several days, gradually diminishing on their own. Sutures will be removed after about a week, and full recovery typically takes about 2 weeks, although it’s recommended that you hold off on more vigorous activity for about four weeks after surgery.

#### How Much Does Facelift Cost?

The **cost of a facelift** depends on your unique treatment plan. Every surgery is customized based on your anatomy, goals, and whether other procedures are performed at the same time, like a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or brow lift.

Facelift pricing typically includes:

- Dr. Jones’ surgical fee
- Anesthesia
- Operating room and facility fees
- Pre-op consultations and post-op care
- Any combination procedures done during the same surgery

You’ll receive a personalized cost estimate during your consultation. We also offer financing options to make treatment more accessible.

Removing fat [(liposuction)](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/body/liposuction/) from troubled areas, typically the trunk (abdomen, flanks, and back) and then transferring it to the buttocks.

#### What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

**Brazilian Butt Lift** (BBL or BBT – Brazilian Butt transfer) has been popularized in today’s society by the likes of many celebrities both within the states and abroad. It is a plastic surgery procedure in which fat is transferred to the buttocks and hip area to *increase projection of the buttocks and can also be used to widen the hips*.

**How do I know my doctor is qualified?**

You can easily perform an Internet search to confirm you are actually seeing a doctor. By selecting a [board certified plastic surgeon](/), you will at least have the piece of mind knowing that you are having surgery in a safe setting and your surgeon is able to deal with potential complications. Here are a couple of links:

- [Verify Board Certification](https://www.abplasticsurgery.org/public/verify-certification/ModDefault.aspx?section=SurgeonSearch)
- [Is your plastic surgeon board certified?](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/blog/is-your-plastic-surgeon-board-certified)

#### The Natural Brazilian Butt Lift

Dr. Jones is a Brazilian Butt Lift specialist. He has trained in the US and abroad, working with some of the top experts in the field.

Many patients come to see Dr. Jones seeking a more natural appearing buttock lift. Dr. Jones has created the “Natural Brazilian Butt Lift or L’edition Naturelle.”

In many cases, people want the benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift, such as wider hips and enhanced projection of the buttocks, without sacrificing natural curves or texture. An inexpert BBL can result in the loss of the gentle aesthetic curve, though more volume or lift may be achieved.

Dr. Jones strives to deliver the best **Brazilian Butt Lift** Atlanta has to offer and has expertly refined his technique to deliver a natural Brazilian Butt Lift. This way, the enhancements can be maintained without sacrificing the natural look. This can result in the curves created by the procedure being more gentle and gradual, thereby retaining the natural aesthetic.

The results achieve a look that can satisfy those who are seeking the benefits of a BBL without any over-exaggeration or unnatural shape. The clean, naturally rounded appearance can significantly enhance your overall silhouette.

#### What are the risks of Brazilian Butt Lift?

At some point during your consultation or preoperative appointment, you will be asked to sign a consent form, make sure that your plastic surgeon discuss the risks with you. They may include some of the following:

- Infection
- Bleeding
- Fluid collection (seroma)
- Contour irregularities and asymmetries
- Fat necrosis (fat cells die under the skin)
- Poor scarring
- Numbness
- Skin loss
- Anesthesia associated risks
- Need for revision surgery
- DVT (deep vein thrombosis), pulmonary embolism

#### What are some red flags?

Extremely discounted prices, doctor without hospital privileges, surgery done in medical office, no before and after photos, surgery done without anesthesiologist (or CRNA), no preoperative visit with the surgeon, “cosmetic surgeon,” just to name a few. Please be diligent and do your homework and if you are not completely comfortable, then you are probably not in the right place.

#### What is Brazilian Butt Lift recovery like?

*After the 2.5 to 4 hour surgery, you should expect to have swelling that will improve over 1 – 2 weeks.* Fluid is used to remove that fat, so it is not uncommon to have some drainage from the liposuction port sites. The skin also may become bruised. It is not uncommon to have some tingling and numbness of the lower back, this usually subsides over 1-2 months.

Most plastic surgeons require patients to wear a compression garment to aid in contouring and help with the swelling. It is important that the appropriate garment and size is selected, otherwise skin abrasions, burns, and loss of contour of the buttocks can occur. Also, most surgeons instruct patients not to sit of buttocks for a period of time in the immediate postop period (4-8 weeks).

## Body Contouring

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, body contouring can tighten, & slim down target areas through cosmetic surgery or non-surgical procedures.

### Content

Do you struggle to achieve a change or improvement in your body shape, contour, or size? Have you tried diet and exercise only to realize minimal results?

If you are unhappy with the appearance of stubborn pockets of fat, flabby areas, or folds throughout your body, you’re not alone, and **Body Contouring** could be what you are looking for. Throughout life, our bodies can shift and change, gaining weight in unwanted areas or developing loose, sagging skin around the arms, stomach, midsection, and legs. This can affect the way you look or feel in certain clothing, during intimate moments, or while being active. Body contouring can help you address the areas of your body you feel insecure or embarrassed about and help you enhance, alter, and correct them to achieve your desired result.

#### What is body contouring?

Body contouring refers to procedures that can help address common aesthetic concerns to achieve a more flattering figure and appearance.

Through various techniques, including liposuction, non-surgical procedures, and cosmetic surgery, patients can address issues in the arms, legs, back, chest, stomach, hips, flanks, buttocks, thighs, legs, and more. These procedures are versatile and can be customized to suit each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. In many cases, multiple body contouring procedures may be combined to help achieve a more comprehensive approach, like with a Mommy Makeover.

#### Who is a good candidate for body contouring?

When surgery falls short of expectations, Dr. Jones offers solutions. Dr. Jones delivers expert revision plastic surgery, such as resolving liposuction irregularities, tummy tuck concerns that require revision, arm lift touch-ups, and paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. These procedures require precision and discernment—and that’s exactly what Dr. Jones brings to the operating table.

#### What body contouring procedures are available?

Our **body contouring in Atlanta** often refers to one or more cosmetic surgery procedures that can help slim, tighten, and reduce imperfections like minor pockets of fat, flabby skin, loose muscles, folds, wrinkles, and more. At our facility for Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Dr. Jones can help address these issues with one or more of the following procedures:

- [Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)](/body/tummy-tuck/)
- [Liposuction](/body/liposuction/)
- [Mommy Makeover](/body/mommy-makeover/)
- [Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)](/body/brazilian-butt-lift/)
- [Vaginal Rejuvenation](/body/vaginal-rejuvenation/)
- [Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)](/body/arm-lift/)
- Post-bariatric surgery
- [Body Lift](/body/body-lift/)

#### What are the Benefits of Body Contouring?

Some areas of the body can be challenging to tone, tighten, and slim down.

Aging can also cause the skin to become lax and lose elasticity over time. Weight fluctuations can also cause stubborn fat to accumulate, as well as pregnancy. Body contouring can help address these common concerns in men and women and can help patients obtain a more sculpted, flattering figure. Atlanta body contouring patients who feel their body is lacking in certain areas, including the buttocks, chest, or thighs, can also benefit from body contouring procedures, like a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or fat transfer.​​​​​​​

#### How Is Body Contouring Performed?

**Body contouring procedures** may all vary slightly in technique, approach, length, and healing time. Additionally, since each patient is different, the extent of treatment and enhancement desired may also affect how the procedure is performed.

Liposuction and fat transfer procedures are often the most popular because they typically require less surgery and downtime after the procedure. However, some patients may opt to combine their liposuction with other body contouring procedures to address loose skin or muscles. More in-depth surgeries will likely be performed in a surgical facility under general anesthesia.

Most body contouring patients can expect to take at least a week away from work, but this will vary with the procedure you undergo. To better understand what you can expect from a body contouring procedure, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Jones or his team because we strive to deliver the best body contouring Atlanta has to offer!

#### Do parts of your body wobble even though you have tried every exercise possible to get them to tone and tighten?

In order to feel good, we need to feel confident about our appearance, but for many people, hang-ups about various aspects of the way that they look causes feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem and even depression.

Cosmetic surgery procedures are a fantastic way of transforming those areas of your body that you feel could be improved, and liposuction is often requested by patients who would like to achieve improved tone and smooth contours that diet and exercise simply can’t deliver.

#### What is liposuction?

Are you happy with your weight, but you feel that your body looks looser and flabbier than you would like? Is your shape stopping you from wearing the clothes that you would like to?

Liposuction is a very common form of cosmetic surgery that is designed to *permanently remove stubborn fat cells from areas of the body* that the patient most dislikes. The procedure can be performed under general anesthetic, but an increasing number of our Atlanta **liposuction** patients are choosing to have a combination of anesthetic and sedation instead since this enables them to come around from the surgery more quickly.

#### What are the benefits of liposuction?

Liposuction can be used in various areas of the body, although it has most commonly been performed on parts where stubborn fat cells are most likely to accumulate, which include the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms. It is also successfully performed on the chest in male patients suffering from a condition known as [gynecomastia](/body/gynecomastia-surgery/) which is excess breast tissue.

Double-[board certified plastic surgeon](/) Dr. Nicholas Jones strives to deliver the best **liposuction** Atlanta has to offer and by choosing Nip & Tuck plastic surgery, you will be able to *target those areas of your body that seem looser and flabbier* than you would like, and that will not tone up regardless of how much you try and exercise.

It is important to understand that liposuction is not an alternative to losing weight. In fact, the success of your procedure depends on you being a healthy, steady weight before you undergo it. This is because if you gain weight, the effects of the liposuction may be lost, and it may be necessary for you to repeat the procedure in order to restore your toned and more youthful appearance.

#### What happens during a liposuction procedure?

The **liposuction** procedure itself involves a cannula with a long thin tube attached being passed into the target area. Saline solution is inserted through the tube which will help to break up the fat cells and make them easier to remove. A vacuum is then attached to the tube which will enable the fat to be sucked out of your body and into a container. The cannula is worked back and forth to continue to help break down and remove the fat cells. Once they have been removed, the entry points can be closed using just a couple of sutures.

#### What happens after liposuction?

Even though it can be performed under a local anesthetic, liposuction is still an invasive procedure and you will need to schedule some time away from work and your other activities so that you can properly recover.

You can expect to stay in our care for at least 24 hours so that we can closely oversee the initial part of your recovery and provide you with the pain medication that you will likely need to remain comfortable.

You will also wear a compression garment over the area where you have had **liposuction**. This will reduce swelling and inflammation while you heal. ​​​​​​​You should arrange for at least a week away from work, and you will not be able to perform anything other than extremely light activities for around 8 weeks. We will give you specific instructions to follow in the days and weeks after your surgery and follow up with you regularly to ensure that you are healing properly.

**Type:** Service

**Description:** High definition liposuction is a specialized and advanced liposuction procedure that uses ultrasound to remove fat and significantly improves your proportions.

### Content

#### Live your Life in High Definition

With the next generation of high definition liposuction, Dr. Nicholas Jones strives to deliver the best **high definition liposuction** Atlanta has to offer and will sculpt and define your body all over for a more harmonious, perfectly balanced, and symmetrical physique.

#### What is High Definition Liposuction?

**HD Liposuction** (or HD Liposculpture) is a specialized and advanced form of liposuction that removes fat, defines the underlying muscles, and significantly improves your proportions through the use of ultrasound.

*The ultrasound (VASER) device is used to emulsify your fat and tighten your skin*. It involves the addition and subtraction of fat to enhance your body’s natural curves and lines. It can target pockets of fat, eliminating them while redefining the shape of your body. Fat from your upper arms, chest, abdomen, buttocks, back, and legs can be targeted to help transform and improve your body permanently. This fat can be either removed from the body completely or grafted to areas where it would improve your look.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for High Definition Liposuction?

If you are looking for balance and symmetry, this might be the procedure for you!

**High Definition liposuction** will work best if you are close to your ideal body weight. You should be in good overall health with a body mass index (BMI) of 32 or less. If you struggle with weight gain, you must commit to following a healthy diet and exercise plan after your procedure. This will ensure long-lasting results.

#### What are the Benefits of High Definition Liposuction?

HD liposculpture was first developed in Bogota, Colombia by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Alfredo Hoyos. Dr. Jones is one of a select few plastic surgeons in the world to have studied under Dr. Hoyos and reach the level of “Total Definer Master” in HD liposculpture.

Through HD liposculpture, Dr. Jones can get better results than traditional liposuction through the use of more refined techniques and devices. Two factors Dr. Jones’ HD liposuction procedure apart: his mastery of body contouring and knowledge of anatomy. He can precisely identify and remove fat pockets, and then use your own fat to enhance and define your existing curves and musculature for a complete body makeover.​​​​​​​

#### The High Definition Liposculpture Process

Each **HD Liposuction** starts with a consultation with Dr. Jones or one of his consultants at Nip and Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta.

As a master of HD liposculpting, Dr. Jones will meet with you, analyze your physique, listen to your wishes, and determine if you are a good candidates for the Vaser Liposuction procedure.

Once those determinations have been made, Dr. Jones will finalize your surgery plan and you’ll begin prepping for your surgery day. Dr. Jones gives his patients a pre-surgery checklist they can follow to maximize their HD Liposuction benefits.

#### Your HD Liposuction Procedure

Dr. Jones will draw on your skin with a marker to define where you will need fat added and subtracted per your surgery plan.

While you are under general anesthesia, Dr. Jones will use VASER technology. *The VASER probe will pass under your skin to liquefy the targeted fat cells*. Next, Dr. Jones will remove your fat with [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) to reveal a more slim, toned physique.

If necessary, your own fat will be re-injected into areas that you wish to enhance. Dr. Jones can add volume to your buttocks, breasts, and hip dips. Men can accomplish a more square, masculine chest shape by adding fat to their chest, back, and legs as needed. He will tailor the HD lipo procedure to your preferences.

#### HD Liposuction Recovery

Dr. Jones believes your aftercare is just as important as your procedure. To optimize your recovery and speed healing, your aftercare plan will include:

#### Your High Definition Liposuction Results

*You will notice a difference immediately after surgery*, though there may be some swelling. Most patients see the full results three to six months after surgery after the swelling goes down. To maintain your results, eat a balanced diet, get regular exercise, and avoid consuming excess calories.

## Peptide Therapy

**Type:** Service

**Description:** Boost energy, immunity, and recovery with peptide therapy in Atlanta, GA. Personalized drips by medical pros at Nip & Tuck. Book your appointment and feel better, faster.

### Content

#### Feel Better. Stay Balanced.

**Peptide therapy** isn't just about hydration—it's a quick way to give your body what it's missing. Whether you're low on energy, recovering from a cold, or just feeling off, peptides can give you a boost where you need it most. At the Atlanta office of The Nip & Tuck Wellness Institute, we offer *personalized peptide treatments* that go straight into your bloodstream so your body can put them to work right away.

#### Peptide Therapy atThe Nip & Tuck Wellness Institute

Peptide therapy at The Nip & Tuck Wellness Institute is a simple, low-key treatment that can make a big difference in how you feel. Our practice, led by Dr. Nicholas Jones in Atlanta, offers **peptide therapy** in a private, relaxed setting. You'll be cared for by a trained medical team, including registered nurses who know how to make the experience smooth and comfortable. Each drip is mixed with your personal goals in mind—whether your focus is on energy, immunity, recovery, or your overall wellness.

#### What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy is a way to deliver targeted amino acid chains, called peptides, directly into your bloodstream through a small IV line in your arm. Since these peptides skip your digestive system, your body can absorb and use them more efficiently. That means faster results and more direct support for things like your immune system, brain, metabolism, and skin.

Think of it like giving your body clear instructions on what to fix or improve. From *immune support* to *hormone balance*, **peptide therapy** works with your natural systems to help you feel better and function at your best. It’s often used by people dealing with low energy, poor sleep, frequent illnesses, brain fog, or hormone-related symptoms—and it's especially helpful if your body doesn’t respond well to oral supplements.

#### Peptide Therapy Benefits

There's no one-size-fits-all with peptide therapy. We build each treatment based on your health goals, how you're feeling, and what your body needs right now. That said, here are some common things people come in for:

- Boosting energy levels
- Strengthening the immune system
- Hydrating after travel or illness
- Helping the body heal after workouts or surgery
- Easing fibromyalgia symptoms
- Supporting hair, skin, and nails
- Improving focus and clearing up brain fog
- Helping with sleep and stress
- Supporting metabolic function and weight goals

Since peptides are delivered directly into the bloodstream, you get faster and more efficient absorption—no delays from the digestive system, and nothing gets lost along the way.

#### Peptide Therapy Candidates

Peptide therapy is safe for most adults, especially those who feel drained, have trouble absorbing nutrients, or want help with long-term wellness goals. You might be a good candidate if you:

- Are tired or low on energy
- Have frequent colds or immune challenges
- Feel dehydrated often
- Struggle with poor focus or cognitive function
- Have health issues that affect your gut or nutrient absorption
- Want to support better recovery after workouts or surgery

If you have kidney issues, certain chronic illnesses, or allergies to specific ingredients, we'll talk through everything during your consultation to make sure **peptide therapy** is the most suitable treatment for you.

#### Consultation and Preparation

Your visit starts with a simple, judgment-free chat. We'll go over your goals, review your health history, and suggest a blend that fits your needs. Our medical team will answer any questions, explain what's in your drip, and walk you through the steps. There's not much prep involved. Just eat normally, stay hydrated, and show up ready to relax.

#### The Peptide Therapy Procedure

Once you're comfortable in the chair, a nurse will insert a small IV line into your arm—most people say it just feels like a tiny pinch. After that, you'll sit back and relax while your drip runs, which usually takes around 30–60 minutes. You can read, watch a show, or just take a break. We monitor you the whole time to make sure you're feeling good.

#### Why Choose The Nip & Tuck Wellness Institute?

At Nip & Tuck, peptide therapy isn't an afterthought—it's part of how we care for your overall wellness.

Dr. Nicholas Jones and our team believe health and confidence go hand-in-hand. We focus on results that feel good, not just look good. You'll get care from a real medical team, not a pop-up spa. And because we offer everything from surgical care to non-invasive treatments, we can build plans that actually make sense for your lifestyle and long-term goals.

#### Lasting Results And Skincare Solutions

Age, time, gravity, sun damage, weight fluctuations, and many other factors can affect the appearance and health of your skin.

As the biggest organ on the body, your skin requires high-quality skincare to help reduce the appearance of common issues and imperfections in your appearance. Skin issues can affect patients of all ages, skin types, and complexions differently, so it is important to customize your approach. Using creams, serums, moisturizers, SPF, masks, and medical-grade products can help many issues, like acne or discoloration. But for more lasting results, it can often require a more in-depth approach.

#### Best Solutionsfor Skin Care

#### Benefits of Skin Care Treatments

In our youth, our skin is often soft, smooth, and resilient against scarring and damage from the elements. As we age, however, we naturally stop producing collagen over time, which can impact the quality of our skin.

In most cases, this results in sunken areas, loose skin, sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles, and more. In addition to natural signs of aging, exposure to the elements can affect your skin, particularly in delicate areas like the face. Patients might experience dryness, chaffing, rough areas, or uneven texture. Others may naturally struggle with oily or acne-prone skin, which can cause them to feel self-conscious or have difficulties feeling confident with their appearance.

Contact us online or call us today at [404-777-TUCK](tel:404-777-TUCK) to schedule an appointment.

#### Why Skin Care is Important

Skincare is one of the best ways patients can help reduce signs of aging and boost lines of defenses against harmful elements or even outside bacteria.

Like general or dental health, taking good care of your skin can help preserve it and keep you looking and feeling younger, longer.

Neglecting your skin is often not a big deal when you are young, but as we get older, we find that cheap drug store soaps and low-end makeup may not be doing us justice. Makeup can sometimes help cover blemishes and surface-level imperfections, but this offers a temporary solution that can be costly and may even cause further issues in the long-run by clogging pores or drying out the skin.

#### Sculpt Your Body, Boost Your Confidence

*Atlanta VASER Liposuction*

Stubborn fat deposits can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise don’t seem to make a difference. **VASER liposuction offers a gentler alternative to traditional liposuction**, allowing you to *reduce fat and achieve a smoother, more sculpted figure with minimal downtime*.

#### VASER Liposuction at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, [world-renowned plastic surgeon](/) Dr. Nicholas Jones, FACS, offers **VASER liposuction** to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Jones’ expertise and advanced technology can help you achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results. Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery offers services throughout Georgia.

#### What is VASER Liposuction?

**VASER liposuction** is a minimally invasive liposuction technique that utilizes ultrasound waves to liquefy fat deposits before gently suctioning them out.

Compared to traditional [liposuction](/body/liposuction/), which relies on a sharp cannula to break up fat, **VASER lipo** offers several advantages. *VASER technology allows for more precise targeting of fat cells, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and blood vessels*. A tumescent solution is injected into the target area to loosen the targeted fat cells from the surrounding tissue before they are suctioned out. This precision leads to smoother results with less risk of uneven contours. Additionally, the gentle nature of VASER liposuction often results in less bleeding and bruising and can lead to faster recovery times for patients.

#### VASERLiposuction Benefits

VASER liposuction offers a range of benefits that go beyond just aesthetics. By removing unwanted fat deposits, VASER liposuction can:

- **Improve your body shape and definition:** Achieve a more sculpted, toned appearance in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and chin.
- **Boost your confidence:** Feel more comfortable and confident in your clothes with a body shape you love. The results can be life-changing for patients.
- **Enhance your overall well-being:** VASER liposuction can improve posture and may even provide relief from chronic back pain caused by excess weight in certain areas.

**Benefits by Body Area:**

- **Abdomen:** Achieve a flatter, more toned stomach and eliminate stubborn belly fat.
- **Flanks:** Reduce love handles and create a smoother waistline.
- **Thighs:** Sculpt and define your thighs for a more toned appearance.
- **Arms:** Eliminate excess arm fat for a more sculpted and youthful look.
- **Chin:** Remove a double chin and refine your jawline for a more defined profile.

#### VASER Liposuction Candidates

VASER liposuction is an ideal procedure for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but *struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise haven't been able to eliminate*. To be a good candidate for **VASER liposuction**, you should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure. Dr. Nicholas Jones will be able to assess your individual suitability during your consultation.

#### Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation with Dr. Nicholas Jones, you’ll discuss your desired aesthetic goals, medical history, medications, and expectations for VASER liposuction.

Dr. Jones will examine you, explain the procedure in detail, answer your questions, and outline any potential risks. **VASER liposuction does not require general anesthesia**; instead, it uses a tumescent solution with an anesthetic for numbing the area. To prepare, be ready to discuss your goals and gather any relevant medical records. Dr. Jones may also provide specific instructions such as avoiding certain medications or supplements beforehand.

#### Procedure

**VASER liposuction is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation**.

Local anesthesia numbs the treatment area, while sedation helps you relax during the procedure.

Dr. Jones will insert a thin probe (cannula) into the targeted area. The probe emits ultrasound waves that gently liquefy fat cells in the fatty tissue layer. Once liquefied, the fat is easily suctioned out using another specialized cannula. *The length of the procedure depends on the number of areas treated but typically ranges from one to three hours*.

#### Results, Recovery,and Aftercare

Following **VASER liposuction**, you'll start to *see initial improvements within a few weeks*, with continued refinement over the following months as swelling subsides. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to light activities within a few days. Dr. Jones will provide specific aftercare instructions to optimize healing and maintain your results:

- **Downtime:** Plan for a few days of rest following the procedure to allow your body to begin healing. Depending on your job demands, you may be able to return to work within a week.
- **Compression garment:** Wearing a compression garment for several weeks following surgery helps reduce swelling and promote healing by applying gentle pressure to the treated areas.
- **Activity restrictions:** Avoid strenuous exercise for a designated timeframe determined by Dr. Jones. This allows your body to heal properly and minimizes the risk of complications. Light activities like walking are encouraged to promote circulation.
- **Healthy lifestyle:** Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is crucial for long-term results. Dr. Jones can advise you on creating a personalized plan to support your goals. By avoiding unhealthy habits and maintaining a healthy weight, you can help prevent fat from accumulating in the treated areas again.
- **Incision care:** You'll receive instructions on keeping the tiny incisions clean and dry to minimize scarring. This may involve gentle cleaning and applying prescribed ointments.
- **Scarring:** VASER liposuction uses very small incisions that typically fade into faint scars over time. Following proper incision care can further minimize their visibility.

#### Maintaining Long-Term Results:

VASER liposuction offers long-lasting body contouring, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key. Here's what you can do:

- **Diet:** Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and sugary drinks.
- **Exercise:** Regular physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy weight and muscle tone. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
- **Weight management:** Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is essential for preserving your VASER liposuction results.

By following Dr. Jones' aftercare instructions and prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the sculpted results of VASER liposuction for years to come.

*The development of excess benign breast tissue in men and boys is more commonplace than is commonly thought.*

**Gynecomastia Surgery** may be the answer. Many men and boys, at some point in their lives, develop excessive tissue in the region of the pectoral muscles, creating an appearance like female breasts. Many people are unaware that men also have breast tissue, and *excess of breast tissue is known as gynecomastia*.

#### What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

For many men and adolescent boys, having unusually **enlarged male breasts** prevents them from enjoying life to the fullest, due to the embarrassment of going shirtless, which may hold them back from enjoying certain outdoor sports or activities like swimming or water sports.

Among teen boys, the problem of bullying is also a menace for those that suffer from gynecomastia, causing psychological trauma that can plant the seed for future emotional challenges.Luckily, benign enlargement of breast tissue in men and boys may be successfully removed by means of cosmetic surgery, eliminating the problem and restoring a lean and contoured appearance.*Gynecomastia surgery*, also known as *male breast reduction*, removes breast tissue, excess fat and tightens the pectoral region, producing a lean, contoured, masculine chest in men and teen boys.

#### What Causes Gynecomastia?

**Gynecomastia** may be caused by any number of factors and may affect men at any age starting from adolescence onward. In some cases, the condition may be hereditary, or it may be the result of underlying health problems, including glandular or hormonal conditions.

In other cases, diet and nutrition may play a significant role, particularly in the case of individuals who are eating poorly while leading a sedentary lifestyle. Certain medications and drugs may also exacerbate the problem, causing the breasts to become larger no matter how much exercise you do.

#### Gynecomastia Surgery Benefits

*Gynecomastia surgery* can be truly life-changing for men who struggle with *excess breast tissue*. This treatment helps restore a more traditionally masculine chest contour and helps bring a renewed sense of confidence and comfort in and out of clothing.

Whether you've felt limited at the gym or self-conscious at the beach, male breast reduction can free you from those worries and help you feel more like yourself again. Key benefits include:

- Flatter, firmer, more masculine chest appearance
- Enhanced self-esteem and body confidence
- Greater freedom in clothing choices
- Long-lasting results with proper lifestyle habits
- Minimal, discreet scarring
- Improved posture and physical comfort
- Boost in motivation for fitness and wellness

#### Am I A Candidate For Gynecomastia Surgery?

If you're bothered by *excess chest tissue* that doesn't go away with diet or exercise, you may be a strong candidate for **Atlanta gynecomastia surgery**. This procedure is ideal for healthy men who are seeking *a more defined and contoured chest*. Whether your gynecomastia developed during puberty or later in life due to hormonal changes, medications, or lifestyle factors, surgery can provide a lasting solution.

You may be a good candidate for **gynecomastia surgery in Atlanta** if you:

- Are in good general health with no serious medical conditions
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Are non-smokers (or willing to stop prior to surgery)
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Are emotionally affected by the appearance of your chest
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Do not have underlying conditions causing breast enlargement (e.g. liver disease, certain tumors)?,

#### Your Gynecomastia Surgery Consultation And Preparation

Your consultation at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery is the first step toward reclaiming your confidence. During your visit, your [board-certified Atlanta plastic surgeon](/) will take the time to understand your concerns, review your medical history, and assess your chest anatomy. Photos may be taken for planning purposes, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and review your surgical options.

To prepare for **gynecomastia surgery in Atlanta**, you may be asked to:

- Undergo lab testing or a medical evaluation
- Adjust current medications or supplements
- Stop smoking, if applicable
- Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that can increase bleeding

Our team will provide a detailed pre-op guide so you'll feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.

#### How is GynecomastiaSurgery Performed?

*Male breast reduction* is best achieved by means of aesthetic surgery and is normally performed under general anesthesia. The procedure typically requires the use of hairline incisions that leave barely visible scars designed to fade over time.

Many cases can be addressed with [liposuction](/body/liposuction/) alone. For best results, Dr. Jones may recommend combining **liposuction with gynecomastia surgery** to extract any excess fatty deposits and breast tissue that may remain after surgery, as well as *tighten the skin in the chest and pectoral region*, to enhance contour and muscular definition.

You will need to set aside a few days to rest following gynecomastia surgery, and full recovery may take about 4-6 weeks. You may have to forego such activities as contact sports for as long as two months.

#### Is Gynecomastia Surgery the Only Treatment?

In cases where there is an underlying hormonal condition, treatment with oral medication or hormonal supplementation may be indicated and has shown to be successful in some patients.

Making improvements in lifestyle, like eating a healthier diet and getting more exercise, has also helped some gynecomastia patients to achieve a trimmer and leaner appearance in the torso and chest, though there are cases of gynecomastia that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Currently, there are several FDA-approved [non-surgical fat reduction procedures](/non-surgical/medspa/) that may effectively address the issue in less severe cases, and particularly in younger patients.

#### Gynecomastia Surgery Results

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their chest shape after surgery, but it's important to remember that swelling and bruising can temporarily mask the final outcome.  Most patients see their full results take shape within 3 to 6 months as the tissues settle and the swelling fully resolves. The results of gynecomastia surgery are long-lasting.

Once fat and glandular tissue are removed, they do not regenerate. However, to maintain your results, it's important to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight gain or substances that can influence hormone levels. Scarring is minimal, with incisions placed in discreet locations and designed to fade significantly over time.

#### How Much Does Atlanta Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?

Every **gynecomastia procedure** is personalized to the patient's unique needs. Factors that influence *gynecomastia cost* include the extent of tissue removal, whether liposuction is used alone or in combination with glandular excision, and whether any additional procedures are performed at the same time.

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, your all-inclusive quote will typically cover:

- Surgeon's fee
- Anesthesia fees
- Operating room and facility costs
- Post-operative garments
- Follow-up visits

We believe in transparency and will walk you through your customized treatment plan and pricing during your [consultation](/contact/).

### Content

Are you looking for cosmetic procedures that can help highlight your natural features, retain your youthful and attractive appearance for years to come, and help you lose fat? Male Body Contouring could be the answer for you.

#### What are the Benefits ofBody Contouring for Men?

*Being attractive and self-confident can help improve the quality of life* in many ways. You might have been contending with flab, folds, and stubborn pockets of fat in different areas of your body that have refused to go away even with a strict diet and plentiful exercise.

As a result, you might be suffering from a loss of confidence and self-worth, which can affect your social and intimate life. With our body contouring services, you can slim, shape, and refine these areas to improve muscle definition and end up with a chiseled, defined body that makes you feel good.

#### Male Body Contouring Procedures

We offer a host of body contouring procedures that can help our **Atlanta body contouring for men** patients meet this need with complete satisfaction.

The procedures range from the simple removal of fat from a general area of your body to highly targeted and focused procedures that can help you *achieve a chiseled-look and six-pack abs in a matter of hours*. [Atlanta plastic surgeon](/), Dr. Jones and our team have extensive experience dealing with a wide range of personal and specific requirements. We strive to deliver the **best body contouring for men** Atlanta has to offer.

#### Liposuction

[Liposuction](/body/liposuction/) is a minimally invasive method in which fat is removed from the body using small cannulas ranging from 3 – 5 mm in diameter. With the application of modern tools and techniques, we remove fat gently and thoroughly so that you end up with better muscular definition and smoother skin.

We evaluate your unique needs and the specific characteristics of your body to formulate a plan to extract the most amount of fat using liposuction. It is important to remember that liposuction is not a weight-loss operation. Rather, it is a technique that can help you get rid of stubborn fat from specific areas of your body. Traditional liposuction is also a relatively inexpensive procedure that helps you achieve great results even if you are on a budget.

#### High-Definition Liposuction

While traditional liposuction can be a great way to get rid of fat from a general area, you might want a more targeted procedure that goes deeper and exposes your natural muscle definition and contours much more effectively. We help you accomplish this with our [high-definition liposuction](/body/high-definition-liposuction/) services.

We employ various techniques of high-definition liposuction or HD lipo to create accurate, reliable results. Using these techniques, we can not only remove fat with a high degree of precision from specific areas of the body but also replace and graft that fat into other areas to enhance the shape and profile of muscles, provide more definition and retain skin tightness.

#### AbdominalEtching

If you are looking for well-defined abdominal muscles and a six-pack to be proud of, our abdominal etching procedure can be a great choice. From liposuction, we now move to the territory of liposculpture where the process is finely tuned to achieve the exact results you want.

Fat tissue from your abdomen is not removed en masse but in a measured, precise, and targeted manner to expose the natural muscle definition. The aim is to deepen the natural grooves and enhance the inherent contour of your abdominal muscles, exactly like in a six-pack.

With a careful examination and marking of the areas that need sculpting, we can remove fat in a targeted manner with absolute precision using small incisions. Apart from moving superficial and deep-lying fat from your abdomen, fat can also be removed from your sides to create a narrower waistline which can further accentuate your chiseled abs

#### Body Contouring Tailored to You

No matter what your needs are, Dr. Jones and our team can assess and understand your requirements and suggest solutions that can bring the desired results as easily and simply as possible.

## Nipple Reconstruction

**Link:** [Nipple Reconstruction](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/breast/nipple-reconstruction/) ([md](https://www.drnipandtuck.com/breast/nipple-reconstruction/index.html.md))

**Type:** Service

**Description:** At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, nipple reconstruction can restore a more natural-looking shape& appearance following cancer excisions or physical trauma.

### Content

*In many instances of breast cancer, large portions of breast tissue must be removed during the mastectomy or lumpectomy to eliminate the areas affected by cancer and save the patient’s life.*

In many cases, this may include the tissue that surrounds and encompasses the nipples. For breast cancer patients who have had a mastectomy during which they lost breast tissue that includes the nipple and areola area, nipple reconstruction surgery can *restore a more natural-looking shape and appearance to the breasts*. Nipple reconstruction is also performed on patients that have athelia (absent nipples) and patients with acquired nipple loss. Occasionally, patients with extremely large breasts, a condition called macromastia, may require the nipples to be removed during the surgery. In this case, after healing, the patient returns for **nipple reconstruction**.

#### What is Nipple Reconstruction?

**Nipple reconstruction is a surgical procedure that repairs and recreates the nipple-areolar complex**, lost or damaged as a consequence of injury, trauma, surgery, or other factors.

There are several techniques that may be used to reconstruct the nipple and the surrounding areolar tissue, with the goal of producing a breast that looks and feels as natural as possible. Nipple reconstruction is typically performed following a mastectomy in cases of breast cancer patients, although some patients seek nipple reconstruction to repair injured tissue due to accidents involving piercings, burns, and many other types of injury and medical trauma.

Following medical trauma like breast cancer or injury to the nipple, the nipple and areola may become disfigured or lost. To reconstruct a breast that appears more natural, nipple reconstruction may be recommended. By reconstructing a natural-appearing nipple and areola, the reconstructed breast *appears more natural and attractive, easing the patient’s self-consciousness and improving self-esteem*.

#### Who is a Good Candidate for Nipple Reconstruction Surgery?

Nipple reconstruction surgery may be required by male or female patients who have undergone prior surgery or have suffered an injury to one or both nipples. The procedure is often combined with breast reconstruction to *create natural-looking breasts* in patients who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy due to breast cancer.

Generally, nipple reconstruction surgery is an option for patients who have enough skin on the breast mound to allow for the formation of a nipple. **Atlanta nipple reconstruction** patients must also be in generally good shape, they must have the approval of their primary physician, and they must undergo a thorough evaluation by Dr. Jones to be approved for the procedure.

#### What Happens During Nipple Reconstruction?

The nipple reconstruction procedure is normally performed using local or twilight anesthesia and is performed as an outpatient procedure, so you will typically be sent home shortly after the procedure is completed.
