Breast augmentation at Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists is among the practice's core and most requested services, as confirmed by the practice's own PRWeb communications noting that breast surgery and body contouring are their most popular offerings. Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones brings over four decades of surgical experience to implant-based breast enhancement, working with patients to determine the optimal approach through a detailed pre-operative consultation that considers chest wall dimensions, existing breast tissue volume and shape, skin envelope quality, and the patient's aesthetic goals. Both silicone gel and saline implants are available; silicone gel implants, available in a range of cohesiveness from standard to highly cohesive (sometimes called 'gummy bear') form-stable designs, are the most commonly chosen for their natural feel. Implant size, measured in cubic centimetres, and profile (low, moderate, high, or extra-high projection) are selected in combination to achieve the patient's desired outcome while remaining proportionate to their frame. Placement options include submuscular (partial or dual-plane, placing the upper portion of the implant under the pectoralis major muscle) — which provides additional implant coverage, may reduce visible rippling, and is associated with better mammography windows — and subglandular (above the muscle), which may suit women with an adequate existing tissue envelope and is associated with a shorter recovery and less postoperative discomfort. Incision placement options include the inframammary fold (the most common, offering precise implant placement and a hidden scar), periareolar, and transaxillary. Recovery involves wearing a surgical bra for several weeks, activity restriction for four to six weeks, and gradual softening of the implants over three to six months as the surrounding tissue accommodates. Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks.
