Conveniently located to serve Athens and Watkinsville, GA
Thinking about breast procedures often brings up important decisions like how to restore volume, correct sagging, or reshape your figure after pregnancy or weight loss. At Parker Plastic Surgery, serving Watkinsville and Athens, GA, you can get cosmetic breast procedures that complement your body, lifestyle, and goals.
Breast Surgery Overview
Dr. Parker is widely known for and committed to providing exceptional care in breast aesthetics. The breast surgery procedures include primary breast augmentation (implant) and breast lift (mastopexy). His Athens breast surgery patients have a wide variety of reasons for undergoing breast enhancement, with some of the most common goals including:
- Enhancing self-esteem and confidence
- Attaining a more flattering contour
- Addressing changes from pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations
- Correcting hereditary traits that affect breast size or position
Why Patients Consider Cosmetic Breast Surgery
Patients choose cosmetic breast surgery to address loss of volume, drooping, or asymmetry due to aging, weight changes, or childbirth. These procedures are a part of our full offering of plastic surgery services in Athens, GA, and they’re carefully planned to match your goals and frame.
Choosing the right breast surgeon can help you avoid common misconceptions, which we discuss in depth in our blog, “Breast Augmentation Surgery: Is It Right for You.”
Types of Breast Procedures We Offer
Dr. James Parker offers plastic surgery for the breasts.
Breast augmentation
Augmentation increases size and improves shape using saline or silicone implants, placed either above or below the muscle. It’s a popular breast enhancement surgery for those looking to regain fullness or enhance body proportions.

Breast lift
This procedure reshapes and elevates sagging tissue without significantly changing breast size. It’s a great choice for correcting downward-pointing nipples or stretched skin. Some patients combine it with implants, as described in What Takes Place During an Augmentation Mastopexy.
Breast implant removal
Breast implant removal surgery can address changes in aesthetic preference, implant concerns, or lifestyle. Depending on your goals, this procedure may be combined with a breast lift to maintain a natural-looking shape after implant removal.
What Happens During the Procedure
Surgeries are performed at our accredited surgery center in Oconee County. Dr. Parker creates incisions in discreet areas, either around the areola or beneath the breast fold. Implants are inserted in augmentation cases, while lifts involve removing extra skin and tightening the tissue. We help you measure up and plan accordingly.
Recovery and Results
Recovery typically takes one to two weeks for daily tasks, with full healing progressing over several months. A surgical bra is often worn during this time. Swelling, tightness, and bruising are expected early on.
