7 Tips For Choosing The Best Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

4/27/2023

Many people consider plastic and cosmetic surgery to get the look they want and feel more confident about their appearance. However, it can be difficult to figure out which plastic surgeon to choose, especially in a big city like Atlanta where there are so many in practice. But never fear! This article will help you understand what to look for when researching the best Atlanta plastic surgeon for your procedure, whether it’s a tummy tuck, labiaplasty, top surgery, or breast surgery (or anything in between!).

(And, yes, we’re biased, but you should definitely consider selecting Dr. Kimberly Singh or Dr. Nour Abboushi at Panacea Plastic Surgery in Inman Park. They really are amazing (just check out their reviews)!

Our Best Tips for Choosing the Best Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

1. Board Certification and Credentials

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon is their certification and credentials. Board certification indicates that a surgeon has undergone rigorous training and passed stringent exams in their specialty. When selecting an Atlanta plastic surgeon, look for someone who is certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This ensures that the surgeon has completed a residency in plastic surgery and has the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the procedure safely and effectively.

2. Experience

Experience is another crucial factor to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon. A surgeon with years of experience is more likely to have seen a wider range of cases and can anticipate and manage potential complications. When researching a surgeon, look for someone who has performed the specific procedure you are interested in numerous times, and has many years of practical experience in their specialty.

3. Personalized Approach

Every patient’s needs and goals are unique, so it’s essential to choose a plastic surgeon who takes a personalized approach to each and every patient. A good surgeon will listen carefully to your concerns and goals and work with you to develop a customized treatment plan. They will also take the time to explain the procedure thoroughly and answer any questions you may have.

4. Results

Before and after photos of previous patients’ surgical outcomes can give you an excellent feel for a surgeon’s capabilities and the results you can expect. When researching potential surgeons, look for examples of their work that are similar to the procedure you are interested in. This can help you get a sense of their style and expertise. You can also ask for photos directly, if you find you’d like additional examples.

5. Gender Preference

Some patients may feel more comfortable with a surgeon of a particular gender, especially for procedures that are more intimate. In these cases, it’s important to choose a surgeon who makes you feel at ease and respects your preferences. Panacea is owned and operated by both a male and female plastic surgeon, giving you options within the same practice.

6. Their Staff (Seriously!)

While you will be spending plenty of time with your surgeon outside of the surgery itself, you’ll also have many many interactions with their staff. Everyone from the front desk to the medical assistants should make you feel comfortable and like a part of the family from the moment you walk through the door. This is one of Panacea’s greatest strengths — their entire team will make you feel cared for as an individual throughout your entire time as a patient (including Amber, whose photo we’ve used here, because she is adored by everyone who meets her!).

7. Track Record of Safety

Surgeries performed in a hospital environment are safer than those performed in plastic surgery clinics. Dr. Singh and Dr. Abboushi perform all surgeries, except labiaplasties, upper blepharoplasties and small skin repairs, in their admitting hospital, Northside Midtown. They do not use a surgical clinic. This means they can safely perform any surgery, including complex surgeries like plus-size tummy tucks and liposuction, which many on-site surgical clinics cannot handle. Additionally, they perform all of their surgeries together, with the exception of those procedures mentioned previously. Having two board-certified plastic surgeons in the operating room is unusual and gives them a distinct advantage in terms of safety outcomes.

When considering all of these factors, Dr. Kimberly Singh and Dr. Nour Abboushi of Panacea Plastic Surgery stand out as two of the best plastic surgeons in Atlanta.

Dr. Kimberly Singh is one of the few female plastic surgeons in Atlanta to have performed hundreds of labiaplasty surgeries. She is a board-certified plastic surgeon and has extensive experience in many cosmetic procedures including breast augmentation/enhancement and tummy tucks. She takes a personalized approach to each patient and uses the latest surgical techniques to ensure the best possible results.

Dr. Nour Abboushi is a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast surgery, tummy tucks, and transgender/non-binary top surgery. He has a reputation for achieving natural-looking results and takes a personalized approach to each patient. He also specializes in reconstructive surgery and has experience working with patients who have undergone weight loss surgery or mastectomies.

Together, Dr. Singh and Dr. Abboushi offer a wide range of plastic surgery services and take a collaborative approach to patient care. They work closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals. Additionally, they prioritize patient safety and comfort, using the latest surgical techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Choosing the best Atlanta plastic surgeon requires careful research and consideration. Factors such as board certification, experience, a personalized approach, and results should all be taken into account. Dr. Kimberly Singh and Dr. Nour Abboushi are two of the most respected plastic and cosmetic surgeons in Georgia — both have received the Atlanta Top Doctor awards 5 years in a row and have decades of experience in their field.
