The Ultimate Breast Lift Guide
A breast lift at Atalla Plastic Surgery isn’t just a procedure; it’s a transformative experience designed to boost your confidence and improve your body contour. Let’s explore what this procedure can achieve, what you can expect from surgery, and why it’s an excellent option to enhance your appearance and self-esteem.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, making them look perkier and more youthful. If you’re feeling self-conscious about breasts that are drooping or sagging, a breast lift may be just what you need to boost your confidence and feel ready to show off your results.
What to Expect From Your Breast Lift Procedure
Breast lift surgery at Atalla Plastic Surgery is done under general anesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours. Techniques will vary based on your specific needs and desired outcomes, which will be discussed extensively during the consultation process.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Atalla or Dr. Durnen will lift and reshape the breast tissue, reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural position, and remove excess breast skin. They will then close the incisions, and you’ll be ready to start your recovery.
Post-operation, your breasts will be layered with gauze and wrapped with appropriate support.
Results and Recovery
Post-surgery results are almost immediately visible and enhance over time as swelling and bruising decrease and incision lines fade. Full recovery usually takes several weeks, during which you’ll want to follow the aftercare instructions Dr. Atalla/Dr. Durnen provides and attend all follow-up visits to ensure you’re healing properly.
By getting plenty of rest, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding heavy exercise, you’ll promote faster healing and better results.

Embracing Renewal: Springtime Skincare and Rejuvenation with Atalla Plastic Surgery
The secret to radiant and healthy skin revolves around adjusting your usual skincare routine to correspond with the fluctuating seasons. The requirements of your skin change as the weather transitions from the frigid winter temperatures to the pleasant summer heat and vice versa. At Atalla Plastic Surgery, we recognize and acknowledge the significance of customizing your skincare routine to suit the diverse environmental factors.
Synergies Between Springtime and Facial Rejuvenation
As the final traces of winter dissolve, spring arises as a period that demands restoration and revitalization. Not only is nature in full bloom, but our skin also desires a rejuvenating beginning. During this time of year, it is an ideal occasion to discard winter’s dreariness and welcome spring’s lively vitality. This severe frigid climate might have made your skin desire sustenance and hydration in your skincare routine. However, the approaching warmer days might necessitate a more invigorating and lighter approach.
Our springtime skincare and rejuvenation services are designed to help you eradicate this concern. Our services and products are specifically formulated to not only revitalize and rejuvenate but also synchronize your skincare routine with the demands of the new season.
Innovative Procedures to Refresh and Revitalize After Winter
Transitioning to spring signals different skincare requirements as you leave winter behind and pave the way for sunnier upcoming days. You may need to adjust some of your winter skincare routines and incorporate staying hydrated, exfoliated, and protecting your skin in warmer weather. Our highly skilled professionals can help you understand the best skincare routine that suits your unique needs and keeps your skin well-nourished and rejuvenated.
The spring season is also the perfect time for you to sample various innovative procedures to refresh and revitalize after winter. We offer several non-invasive procedures, such as laser treatments, neurotoxins, and dermal fillers, as well as minimally invasive ones, such as Diamond Glow, Hydrafacial, dermaplaning, and microneedling. These procedures will eliminate dehydrated winter skin and restore healthy, glowing skin while targeting specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, rough skin texture, skin sagging, dull skin tone, and more.
At Atalla Plastic Surgery, all our attention is geared towards ensuring that you achieve your aesthetic goals. We use efficient procedures and advanced equipment to give you the look that fulfills your desire during the new spring season.

Breast Surgery for Increased Confidence & a Healthy Well-Being
Breast Surgery in a Comfortable Environment
There are many reasons individuals seek breast surgery, but all can result in increased confidence and a healthy well-being. Several types of surgeries are available, from what are commonly known as breast enhancement/breast augmentation to reduction and reconstructive procedures.
Breast augmentation is a procedure that enhances size and shape of the breasts. The FDA approves both saline and silicone breast implants for cosmetic breast enlargement surgery. Atalla Plastic Surgery has information available to help you decide on the best breast implants for you. Women looking to increase size or volume post-pregnancy, or those seeking to even out differing breast sizes may choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery.
Breast reduction surgery is typically done for those experiencing physical discomfort caused by large and/or sagging breasts that can often hinder the ease of activities. Breast reduction is a solution for women who suffer from back and neck pain due to oversized breasts causing disproportionate weight in the body. Heavy breasts can also cause skin irritation, breathing difficulties, and skeletal issues. A breast reduction will lessen excess weight and result in firmer and better proportioned breasts.
A Mastopexy, or breast lift, can benefit women who’ve experienced aging in the breast area due to maturity, pregnancy, nursing, or a combination of these. The result is improved appearance and younger looking breasts with increased firmness, volume, and proportion.
Patients who’ve undergone a mastectomy to remove cancerous tissue can benefit from breast reconstruction surgery, which can be performed immediately following the mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is a worthwhile procedure that supports and benefits those who’ve endured difficult breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
For women who’ve received breast enhancement surgery, it is beneficial to undergo a breast revision with new or reshaping of implants approximately every 10 years to maintain appearance and form, as their shape can change due to aging of the surrounding tissue. A revision also offers patients the opportunity to get a breast enlargement or reduction.
Women aren’t the only patients to experience a need for breast uplift. Even men who are healthy and in good physical shape sometimes experience large or sagging breasts caused by extra glandular tissue. A male breast reduction, or gynecomastia, can omit unnecessary tissue and result in a naturally smooth and firm chest area.
Dr. Atalla board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He has extensive training and experience in all aspects of breast surgery. Contact our office today for information. We offer best choices for breast surgery in a modern, highly-equipped, and comfortable environment.

CO2RE for Ultimate Skin Resurfacing
Are you looking for skin resurfacing, acne scar treatment, uneven skin treatment, or improvement in skin laxity? We have a versatile treatment to meet your needs. CO2RE fractional CO2 resurfacing is a laser skin treatment for face wrinkles, age spots, lines, uneven skin tone, and acne scars.
Once in our 30s, we often begin to notice fine lines around eyes and mouth, uneven coloration, age spots, and wrinkles. Facial laser resurfacing is often the key to complete skin rejuvenation.
Skin that is affected by time and sun damage will see amazing results following our CO2 laser treatment. CO2RE applies CO2 laser energy to the skin in the form of a matrix to remove areas of tissue, creating small pockets of damage surrounded by healthy skin. This healthy tissue accelerates the healing process, causing the production of new collagen and skin cells that give skin a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
While younger skin is often the primary goal of laser skin rejuvenation, fractional scar removal is a major benefit of CO2RE laser resurfacing. The CO2RE laser system provides a number of treatment modes to target varying skin issues. And the fractional laser treats both superficial and deep skin layers at the same time.
The results are fewer age spots; smoother skin texture, lines and wrinkles; and a brightened skin tone. These all will be seen gradually over time, while tone and texture improvement will result in a matter of days. Patients may maintain their new facial resurfacing with the appropriate post care recommended by their skincare expert.
CO2RE laser rejuvenation is for patients who are seeking more versatility in their fractional resurfacing skin treatment, as its resurfacing laser treats multiple skin issues. CO2RE fractional laser skin resurfacing rejuvenates skin in just one treatment, and there is less downtime with CO2RE than with traditional resurfacing methods.
Call us today to schedule your appointment for amazing skin with the CO2RE fractional CO2 resurfacing system.
Breast Cancer, Mastectomy + Reconstruction
Breast cancer is the most common major cancer in women, and it is currently estimated that one in nine American women will develop breast cancer. Fortunately, early detection and treatment is improving the survival from this disease.
Clearly, a woman's breasts are one of the most basic symbols of her femininity and the loss of a breast, through cancer, can have a devastating impact on her emotional stability and social confidence. Not only does she have to confront the specter of cancer, but she must also often deal with the constant physical deformity of a mastectomy - a constant reminder of the disease and a significant psychological and social burden. It is not surprising, then, that many women seek and even demand breast reconstruction in order to restore their sense of "wholeness" or to "feel feminine again." That demand has encouraged the development of ever better techniques for breast reconstruction.
Breast reconstruction involves essentially two general means. First is the use of tissue expanders and implants. In the first operation (about one and a-half hours) a tissue expander is placed under the chest muscles. Over the next several weeks the expander is gradually filled with salt water until the desired size is achieved. The expander can then be exchanged for a more anatomically shaped implant in a second (about one hour) operation.
The second general means of reconstruction, uses the patient's own tissue to rebuild the breast. Skin, fat and some muscle is obtained from the back, abdomen or buttock, and is transferred to the breast site where it is shaped into a breast mound. This operation takes approximately four to eight hours. Combinations of these techniques may also be employed to achieve the best possible results. A common example is using a muscle/fat/skin flap from the back to add softer coverage to an implant. The nipple can be created later from local skin once the tissues settle into position and the color is achieved by tattooing or skin grafting.
The best time to consider reconstruction is prior to mastectomy, because more options are available then. If desired, the first stage of reconstruction can be accomplished during the same operative setting as the mastectomy. Reconstruction can also be instituted months or years after mastectomy with an expectation of good results. With the various reconstructive options available today, almost everyone who wants it is a candidate for breast reconstruction surgery.
Breast cancer is certainly a frightening illness and should not be faced alone. The best approach is usually a team approach including the patient, the patient's family, primary care physician, general surgeon, oncologist, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, friends, and cancer support groups, such as the Kentucky Cancer Program. Be sure to take as much time as you need to discuss your options with your physician. Most will be happy to discuss them with you or refer you for appropriate consultations.
