Natural Results!

I am absolutely ecstatic with my experience at The Swan Center and with Dr. Fardo! From the very beginning, the entire team made me feel so comfortable. The staff were all incredibly sweet and attentive. Dr. Fardo himself is truly exceptional. I had initially considered traveling to Turkey for rhinoplasty, but when I came across Dr. Fardo’s work, I was so impressed by how natural ALL of his results looked. No two noses looked the same, each one was unique to the patient and that’s something I absolutely loved. I ended up driving nearly five hours from North Carolina to Georgia to see him, and I would do it all over again without hesitation. I had my surgery in April 2025. I wanted my dorsal hump removed, and while I was initially unsure about lifting the tip (as Dr. Fardo suggested), I trusted his expertise and I’m SO glad I did! The result is exactly what I hoped for: my nose still looks the same from the front, so I completely recognize myself when I look in the mirror. It’s just my side profile that’s improved, and I couldn’t be happier with how natural it looks. The changes are subtle enough that even my childhood friend didn’t notice, but I see the difference every day, and it’s done so much for my confidence and quality of life. I’m already in love with my results and that’s after just after 3 months. I can’t wait to see the final result as everything continues to heal! :0) Thank you, Dr. Fardo and the entire team at The Swan Center, I would choose you again a thousand times over.

Tummy Tuck

I Love my Tummy Tuck Results with Dr Cat!

I had my tummy tuck with Dr Cat and am ecstatic with my results. During my consultation she made me feel very comfortable and confident with her as my surgeon, she walked me through my recovery process and my results are amazing. I was nervous about recovery but it was so worth it! My clothes fit better, my core is stronger and I am wearing a bikini again!

Breast Reduction

Dean Fardo far exceeded my expectations - thrilled with the results

Dean Fardo has assisted me with a couple of procedures. Most recently a breast reduction that far exceeded my expectations. I'm thrilled with the results. I feel better then I have in over 20 years. Dr. Fardo is engaging, honest, great communicator, sets realistic expectations. He's simply the best!

Botox

Fabulous! My 1st time getting Botox & I was nervous

This was my 1st time getting Botox. I was nervous and had LOTS of questions. Christian was not only calm, answering all my questions, she is a great injector for Botox. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes her time to understand the results you are looking to achieve. I was on a budget and she came in just under which was much appreciated. I have been extremely satisfied with the results as it is exactly what she predicted it would be. Christian and the entire staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I went ahead and booked another session with Christian. LOVE! I highly recommend The Swan Center.

Breast Augmentation

Feeling worried I'm too top heavy

As I'm beginning this post I am currently 8 days post op. I am feeling very nervous that I went too big with the size! Trust me I am very aware it can take 6+ months to see final result for the shape and size of a breast aug. What I am most worried about right now is what the final actual volume/size will be. I've looked at hundreds of before/during/after photos of getting a breast aug and most of the time, the after photo is larger than the during recovery photo bc of the "drop and fluff" process. Currently, my boobs feel very hard and they barely move - when they soften and relax, will they expand or will they shrink? I have read conflicting answers. I am feeling like I need the final result's size to be 15-20% less than what they currently are to feel happy! Also, the lemon/football shape that's going on right now will become much rounder once the implant drops correct? I am just feeling super large and ugly and I know that's part of the process but I'm looking much larger and uglier than many of the other 1-2 week post op pictures I've seen of other women. I've included my wish pictures - will I end up like this? :(

Dr. Cat is a one of a kind plastic surgeon

Dr. Cat is a one of a kind plastic surgeon! She truly listens to what the patient wants and offers amazing results! I had initially consulted with many other doctors and felt the most welcomed at The Swan Center of Plastic Surgery. During my consultation, I was able to try different size implants as well as receive feedback to all my questions regarding breast augmentation. In every step of the process, I felt very confident and supported by nurse Stacey and Dr. Cat! The entire process went very smoothly from start to finish. I'm now post my 6 month mark of surgery and absolutely love the result! I went for a very natural look and I could not be any happier. If you want a female doctor that has amazing bedside manner, deep knowledge of the most innovative techniques, and a team of exceptional nurses you absolutely need to consult with Dr. Catignani and The Swan Center!

475cc, best decision EVER!

Before: I was barley an A cup. So I'm guessing.. a negative A or AA is what they call it? Either way, I always had room for more boob in my bra. I was always apart of the IBTC and my breast lacked shape and volume. I received a breast aug on April 9th, 2021. I got 475cc, i'm 5'10 & 180lbs. I am super satisfied with the outcome and I cannot wait to see the final result! Dr. Fardo and his team are all amazing, great hospitality, friendly, and make you feel great about your procedure!

Mentor Breast Implants

5'3, 130lbs High Profile 375CC Implants

Hello friends! I'm currently 2 days post-op & I thought I'd document my journey throughout its entire course bc I found other women's reviews to be extremely helpful when I was preparing for my procedure! The pictures attached to this post are my before pictures. I'll continue adding more & along my healing process :) I am 21 years old, 5'3, & 130lbs. Implants: Mentor High Profile 375cc with Dual-Plane Insertion My surgeon was Dean Fardo from the Swan Center in Alpharetta, Georgia! Updated on 23 Nov 2020: Just as the title says... I’m officially 4 days post-op! I finally took my first REAL shower since pre-surgery... “real” as in not with wet wipes lol! This is the fist time I’ve seen them without the surgical bra and I can’t believe how in love with them I am already!! I feel like they fit my frame perfectly. My post-op appointment is tomorrow, so Dr.Fardo will teach me all the massage techniques etc to help these puppies drop! I have no pain at all and I haven’t taken pain meds for the past couple days. It’s been smoooooth sailing Updated on 17 Dec 2020: Can't believe it's already been 4 weeks since I received a breast augmentation with Dr.Fardo at the Swan Center! To say I'm in LOVE with how my breasts look is an understatement! Before surgery I was a 36A, and now I believe I'm between a C/D cup. I've yet to get professionally measured since my breasts are still settling and look a bit different each week, but that's my guess! They are slowly starting to feel squishier & look more natural. I've been doing massages 3 times a day, 1 min for each boob! It's been a blast seeing how different my clothes look now that I can fill out the top. My body looks much more proportional & aesthetically pleasing, esp considering my legs/booty are a bit thicker. Thank you Dr.Fardo for the most epic confidence boost of all time!! I'm 5'3 & 135lbs  Pre-surgery: 36A  Post-surgery: 36C/D?  375CC Mentor High-Profile Silicone Implant Updated on 26 Dec 2020: To say I’m obsessed is an understatement

Dr. Fardo is amazing. I came all the way from Florida to receive a breast augmentation.

Dr. Fardo is amazing. I came all the way from Florida to receive a breast augmentation. He is extremely efficient, consistent, informative, and gives a range of options. The staffing from the nurses to front desk are amazing! They’re caring informative and helpful. I will say if you want top quality results and customer service it is well worth the price.
