CLAIM YOUR PROFILEThe current lifetime risk for the development of ALCL is quoted as anywhere from 1/3,800-1/ 30,000, for women with textured implants. Common symptoms include breast enlargement, pain, asymmetry or a large fluid collection typically lasting more than a year. ALCL patients seem to develop an allergic reaction to the texturing around the implants. Therefore it is recommended that the implant and capsule be completely removed.

Breast implants can be removed through the armpit. It is easier to remove saline implants since they can simply be deflated and then taken out. Removing silicone implants is more difficult as they may rupture while being removed. If I do remove them through the armpit I will often use the endoscope to be certain no silicone has been left behind. If the silicone implants are all ready ruptured and they have a significant capsule around them, I suggest having them removed from an incision under the breast in the inframamary crease as it is easier to remove the capsule, and implant

Symmastia is a difficult problem to correct in even the most experienced surgeons hands. It appears from the photo's that the problem was corrected but you still have some remaining skin that did not contract around the implant. I would you suggest you return to your surgeon and ask them to re-evaluate the problem. It could be that some of the remaining skin could be removed through a minor excision. If you are not satisfied with your original surgeon's response to your complaint seek out an additional evaluation from a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in breast surgery

Implants sizes are measured in cc increments or ml increments. A moderate profile implant has a lower profile or projection in the breast than a high profile implant. For instance a 350cc implant that is a moderate profile will be flatter and wider than a high profile implant that has 350cc of silicone gel in it. The high profile implant will be more narrow and have a higher profile. When patients select an implant for augmentation they should ask their surgeon to try on sizers in both moderate profile implants and high profile implants to be able to appreciate the difference in implant styles

The sagging turkey neck is the result usually of both loose skin and and laxity in the muscles of the neck. The only way to correct this deformity is by surgical tightening of the muscles and removal and tightening of the skin.. There are no non surgical procedures to correct this deformity. Thermage and Ultherapy have little use in correcting the turkey neck deformity;

Dr. Mackay performed the following procedures on me: neck lift, face lift, eyelid surgery and brow lift. My concern was to look natural and just get rid of what was “hanging”. This was accomplished. Gentleness, kindness and a calming demeanor are great qualities Dr. Mackay possesses. These great qualities are backed up with expertise, deep knowledge and love of what he is doing. He even met me at his office on Christmas Eve to help alleviate post surgery swelling on the left side of my neck. He was concerned and successful! Updated on 27 Jun 2020: Below are before and after pictures relative to my facelift performed by Dr. Mackay on December 3, 2019. Results are quite natural which is what I was hoping for. It has been nearly seven months since the procedure. My ears were quite tender due to the work and stitches around them. I did not even think of this.
The best doctor ever. The entire staff is amazing. I had the pleasure to work with both Dr. Mackay and Dr. Page who I continue see. The most compassionate people I ever met. I would recommend them to anyone who is going through breast cancer.
I was absolutely thrilled to meet Dr Mackay and his PA Jacqueline and partner Dr Page for my first consultation for reconstructive breast surgery. The entire staff there is very warm, friendly and professional and they made me feel like I was part of their family. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Dr. MacKay performed a breast reduction on me approximately 5 weeks ago. I am beyond excited with the results. I especially love that Dr.MacKay and his staff prepared me prior to the surgery and educated me the entire process, what a stress reliever. Dr. MacKay exudes professionalism and compassion which is important to me as a patient. The results speak for themselves, he is the best. Dr. MacKay and his staff are amazing people that provide high quality of pre and post operative care. I highly recommend.
Choosing Dr. Mackay was one of the best decisions I could have made. He is so caring, compassionate and his bedside manner is impeccable. From my first initial visit to my post op follow up, I felt like I was well taken care of. The receptionist, nurses, and his PA Jacqueline made sure I felt comfortable and answered all of my questions before I could answer them. Having had large breasts all my life I feel like a brand new women now. I am now able to walk upstairs without feeling winded, I have no back neck or shoulder pain, and best of all I can now buy inexpensive bras. Not only do I feel good, I look great too. Not to mention how perky my breasts are now. Im so grateful for everything Dr. Mackay did for me and I am so pleased with my results and if I had to do it all over again, I would choose him again. I plan to use Dr. Mackay gain in the future if I decide to have more plastic surgery.
If you are considering a cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Mackay and his staff. I received exceptional care before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Mackay, as well as being an excellent surgeon, is very personable and easy to talk with. I am very pleased with the results of my facelift and blepharoplasty, which took years away while achieving a natural result. Worth every penny.
My experience was impeccable! I had the good fortune of meeting Dr Mackay and selecting him for a rhinoplasty in 2009. I selected him because of his great reputation and his extensive experience with difficult, reconstructive surgeries. Because I scar excessively, one side of my nose required revision post surgery and he took care of it. The results were just what I had hoped for, and he made sure I was pleased with the results. When I wanted to correct some problems from a breast reduction performed by another surgeon, Dr Mackay was the first and only doctor I considered. Everything went smoothly - surgery, recovery and follow up - and Dr Mackay corrected every problem so that I got the perfect result. Dr Mackay and his office staff are professional, organized, respectful, trustworthy, and take time to answer all your questions and answer in a way that you can understand. I always felt like I was in the best hands.
Dr. Mackay is FANTASTIC!!! I am so happy with my results. I have had 3 surgeries preformed by Dr. Mackay (breast lift, expanders placed in after a double mastectomy, and then reconstruction with fat grafting). It was a very difficult and emotional journey but Mr. Mackay and Jacquline were there with me EVERY step of the way to support and answer all of my questions. If you looking for an honest opinion and a perfect cosmetic breast job go and see Dr. Mackay. The staff at Atlanta Plastic and Reconstructive Specialist greet you with open arms and are all so sweet and friendly. Although this chapter in my life is closed, I will be back to see Dr. Mackay if I ever need any cosmetic procedures preformed.
I had a consultation with Dr. Mackay for an upper eyelid lift. He was very attentive and knowledgeable and friendly. He spent a lot of time going over the surgery and what to expect. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mackay and his staff.
Today was the day! Finally got it done. I have been planning the surgery for over a year. I lost 25 lbs and now weigh 175. The surgeon did 255cc moderate profile plus gel . I also had fat transfer to lower eyelids. My experience win Dr Mackay was wonderful. I highly recommend. So far the discomfort ha been minimal.
