Top 5 Reasons to Choose Silk Plastic Surgery for Your Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States — which means it is also the procedure with the widest range of outcomes, driven directly by the widest range of surgeon training and experience. In Atlanta, patients researching augmentation have no shortage of options. What they sometimes lack is a clear framework for distinguishing between them. At Silk Plastic Surgery in Sandy Springs, that distinction begins with three words: double board-certified.

Every surgeon at Silk Plastic Surgery — Dr. Gregory Mackay and Dr. Eugenia Page — holds double board certification in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and each trained at institutions that represent the pinnacle of surgical education in the country. Here are the top five reasons Atlanta patients choose Silk for one of the most personal decisions they’ll make.

1. Every Surgeon Is Double Board-Certified and Trained at World-Class Institutions

Board certification in plastic surgery requires completing a residency specifically in plastic and reconstructive surgery and passing rigorous written and oral examinations. Double board certification adds a second layer — certification in general surgery as well — reflecting a breadth of surgical training that informs every aesthetic procedure performed.

The Silk surgeons trained at institutions including the Mayo Clinic and Emory University, where they served in roles including assistant professor and director of fellowship programs. This is not background information — it is the foundation of the surgical judgment they bring to every breast augmentation they perform. Understanding implant-tissue interaction, managing the nuances of pocket creation, planning for long-term implant stability, and achieving proportional, natural-looking results across a range of anatomies all require the depth of training that these credentials represent.

For patients considering breast augmentation in Atlanta, the difference between a surgeon trained at a major academic medical center with reconstructive and microsurgical experience and a provider whose training is less rigorous is meaningful in ways that are most visible in the long term.

2. The Consultation Is Genuinely Individualized

Breast augmentation produces its best results when the implant choice — size, profile, shape, and material — is made in relation to the patient’s specific anatomy rather than a preferred aesthetic or a popular size. The distribution of your chest wall, the width of your breast base, the quality of your existing breast tissue, your height and frame, and the visual balance of your whole body all determine what implant will produce a result that looks proportionate and naturally yours rather than obviously augmented.

At Silk Plastic Surgery, the consultation is an anatomical conversation, not a sales process. Both Dr. Mackay and Dr. Page take the time to examine the specific characteristics of each patient’s anatomy and build an implant recommendation around what will integrate most harmoniously with that anatomy. Patients consistently describe leaving their consultations with a clear picture of what is being recommended and why — and with the confidence that the recommendation reflects their body and their goals, not a default approach.

3. Reconstruction Experience Elevates Cosmetic Results

One of the most meaningful and least-discussed aspects of the Silk Plastic Surgery team’s background is their depth of reconstructive surgical experience. Breast reconstruction — performed after mastectomy, following complications of prior surgery, or to address complex anatomical presentations — requires working with the full spectrum of breast anatomy, tissue behavior, and implant interaction at a level that purely cosmetic practice rarely demands.

Surgeons who have performed complex breast reconstruction bring a different understanding of tissue behavior, pocket dynamics, implant stability, and long-term anatomical changes to their augmentation work. They have seen what happens when things go wrong and how to prevent it. They understand capsular contracture, rippling, implant displacement, and the factors that contribute to or protect against each of these outcomes in ways that inform their surgical decision-making from the first incision.

This reconstructive fluency is why Silk Plastic Surgery’s results — consistently described by patients as natural, proportionate, and enduring — reflect something beyond technical competence. It reflects surgical wisdom earned in complex clinical environments.

4. A Collaborative Surgical Team Serves Your Long-Term Care

At Silk Plastic Surgery, you are not simply a patient of one surgeon — you are a patient of a practice whose surgeons collaborate, consult each other on complex cases, and have collectively operated across thousands of breast procedures. This matters in the long run.

Breast augmentation results evolve over time. Implants may eventually need replacement. Life changes — pregnancy, weight fluctuation, aging — affect breast tissue and implant position in ways that may eventually warrant revision. Having a practice where multiple surgeons with deep expertise know your case, your anatomy, and your history means that whatever the future holds, your care is supported by a team rather than dependent on a single provider’s availability.

This collaborative model is particularly valuable for revision cases, which Dr. Page has extensive experience managing — including patients who come to Silk after augmentations performed elsewhere that have not met their expectations or have developed complications.
