Panacea Plastic Surgery Reviews
10/10 would definitely recommend ! They did my top surgery 🏳️⚧️
Dr.Singh and the staff at Panacea Plastic Surgery are so wonderful! Corrine at the front desk always remembers me and efficiently checks me in relieving me of having to stand around awkwardly and when you are post op that means so much!! Kristin is incredibly kind thoughtful and informative! Amber is the GOAT she takes care of me and has the best energy! Dr Singh won me over during our consultation because she thoughtfully listened to me and heard my concerns without interruption, judgement or condescending to me. I am 3 weeks post op and am so glad I chose Dr. Singh to help me!!!
I had a wonderful experience getting top surgery here with Dr. Singh. It took me years to find the right fit as I was not willing to trade good bedside for skill or vice versa-- and I feel I finally found both here at Panacea. The entire staff here is very caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. I dealt with Kristin and Amber often and they were always so gracious when I had questions. I had a solid safe recovery with better results than I ever imagined! I'm grateful I had a talented and kind surgeon and staff. They made a stressful experience easy and I appreciate their hard work more than I can say.
Amber is amazing and gentle taking out drains and sutures and so is Dr. Abboushi!!! I’m so happy with my results!!
Dr Abboushi takes such good care of me. He's been my doxtor since 2018. He's never in a hurry so I don't feel rushed. He listens, he's actually paying attention. I fell ultra safe in his hands. His staff is kind & professional. It's too bad it's only 5 stars because I would give them a 10 out of 10. P.S. Have u seen his office on Bernina Ave. It's so luxurious & clean! If u need plastic surgery or skin care this is THEE place to go I promise!!!!

Transgender / Gender-Affirming Top Surgery Options
Male-to-female (MTF) or Female-to-Male (FTM) surgical procedures can take between two and four hours and will vary depending on the type of surgery required.
Like all surgeries performed at Panacea, transgender MTF and FTM surgery is tailored to each individual's distinct needs and goals, allowing them to feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Female-to-Male Transgender Top Surgery (FTM Surgery)
Female-to-male transgender top surgery is also known as a mastectomy, or chest masculinization. Breast tissue is removed from the chest and it is contoured to give patients a more masculine appearance.
The female to male (FTM) reconstructive top surgery is intended for transgender males seeking to remove their breasts and create a more masculine chest. This surgery, known clinically as bilateral mastectomy, can be performed using either the keyhole or double incision technique, depending on the amount of breast tissue the patient has. Both techniques have the same objective of producing a more masculine and defined chest by removing breast tissue, excess skin, and resizing, reshaping, and repositioning the nipple or areola. During the consultation, our providers will determine which technique is most suitable for the patient's body.
The main goal of this surgery is to help patients align their external appearance with their internal identity.
The keyhole technique is used for patients with a smaller amount of breast tissue, typically A or B cup size. This technique involves making a small incision near the areola, partially attaching it to maintain sensation and blood supply, removing the fat and excess tissue through liposuction, and closing the incisions. Due to the minimal amount of tissue in the breast area, this technique is generally quicker and less painful.
The double incision technique is designed for patients with moderate to large amounts of breast tissue. This more extensive procedure involves making incisions below the nipple on both sides of the chest and pulling down the skin to remove the mammary glands and excess tissue. Minimal liposuction may be required if the fatty tissue is difficult to remove. After the tissue removal, the excess skin is also removed, and the incisions are closed. This technique typically results in more scarring as it covers a larger area of breast tissue.
Male-to-Female Transgender Top Surgery (MTF Surgery)
Male-to-female (MTF) transgender top surgery is also known as breast augmentation or chest feminization. Breast implants are added to the existing breast tissue for a more typically feminine appearance.
There are different techniques for transgender top surgery based on gender identity. Male to female (MTF) top surgery involves breast augmentation with either saline or silicone implants to enhance breast size and shape. Dr. Abboushi and Dr. Singh assist patients in choosing the type of implant that best suits their needs. The implant is placed in a pocket created in the chest. Patients also have to decide whether to place the implant on top or underneath the breast muscles, with both options having advantages. The doctors most often use a technique called "dual plane" breast implant placement, and they will explain the details of each placement option during the consultation to help MTF patients make an informed decision. Our doctors have developed surgical techniques to help all patients achieve their desired appearance.

Transgender Top Surgery FAQ
How do I prepare for my top surgery at Panacea Plastic Surgery?
Preparing for your top surgery at Panacea Plastic Surgery involves a few key steps to ensure the best possible outcome. Initially, you'll have a detailed consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any necessary pre-operative tests. It's also important to follow specific instructions regarding medications, fasting, and arranging for post-operative care and transportation.
What can I expect during the recovery period after my top surgery?
Recovery after top surgery at Panacea Plastic Surgery varies depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial weeks, which can be managed with medication and proper care. Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring healing, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, with full recovery taking several months.
What are the transgender top surgery options at Panacea Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA?
Panacea Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA offers a variety of transgender top surgery options to align patients' physical appearance with their gender identity. Our skilled surgeons work closely with each patient to select the most appropriate technique, ensuring that the results are both aesthetically pleasing and affirming to the individual's gender journey.
How long do the results of top surgery last?
Top surgery results are long-lasting. However, factors like significant weight fluctuations, aging, and hormonal changes can affect the appearance over time. Maintaining a stable weight and following your surgeon's post-operative care instructions can help preserve your results. If you have further questions or are considering transgender top surgery, it's advisable to consult with Panacea Plastic Surgery to discuss your individual needs and expectations.
Will hormone therapy affect my surgery results?
Hormone therapy can influence surgical outcomes. For transmasculine individuals, testosterone may reduce breast tissue, potentially simplifying chest reconstruction. For transfeminine individuals, estrogen therapy can promote breast development, which may affect augmentation decisions. Discuss your hormone therapy status with your surgeon to plan accordingly.
Will I lose nipple sensation after top surgery?
Changes in nipple sensation are a common consideration with top surgery, especially for procedures involving nipple grafts. Some patients experience temporary numbness, while others may have lasting changes in sensation. Your surgeon will explain the likelihood based on your specific procedure.
Candidates for Transgender Top Surgery
Candidates for gender-affirming top surgery are those who have already considered the full implications and effects of beginning a physical transition to another gender. Candidates must also have realistic expectations of surgery.
Financing Gender-Affirming Surgical Procedures
Please note that we no longer accept insurance.
Unfortunately, some insurance carriers may still have us listed as a provider, and we are working diligently to ensure all insurance directories are updated and accurate. We appreciate your understanding.
The cost of top surgery at Panacea starts at $9000. We realize that plastic and cosmetic surgery is a major investment for most. Most patients choose to finance at least a portion of the cost of their surgical procedure or procedures. Many plans are available to cover the cost of plastic surgery, including 0% interest options. Please see our financing page for information about the different plans we accept.
Transgender Top Surgery Recovery
Physical recovery from MTF and FTM surgery can take 4-6 weeks, but most patients begin to feel more like themselves within 1-2. Patients should walk around after surgery to improve blood flow but swelling may not subside for weeks or even months, depending on the type of surgery performed. Full results will be seen 3-6 months Getting used to your new look can take longer and that’s why the doctors at Panacea Plastic Surgery like to walk you through the procedure and ensure you are comfortable and sure about your decision.
Making the decision to undergo any permanent procedure can complex. Here at Panacea Plastic Surgery, Dr. Singh and Dr. Abboushi are always available to answer any questions or concerns you have.
