Dr. Song is an outstanding surgeon with a heart of gold. Not only did he deliver outstanding results with my tummy tuck and breast lift/reduction, but his compassionate bedside manner made the entire journey a breeze. From the consultation to post-operative care, Dr. Song took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt completely at ease. Despite my initial hesitation towards a breast reduction, Dr. Song’s recommendation proved invaluable, and I am thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Song and his team provided exceptional support and care, making me feel like more than just a patient. I cannot recommend Dr. Song highly enough for his exceptional surgical skills and genuine kindness. More

The entire staff is so supportive and caring.They listened to every one of my procedure goals and made sure i felt safe and comfortable. The post-op was a breeze. I could not be any happier the results and will be going back if I am wanting any other further cosmetic procedures More

Dr. Song is literally the best doctor. He is pleasant, talented, caring and great at what he does. I first met with him in January 2022 and he has never forgotten me, or acted like I was just another patient. Due to health issues and my daughter’s school schedule, it took until December 2023 to finally get the reduction done. I am 3 weeks post op and feeling great and looking forward to a new life. His staff is literally the best, answering my million questions with no problems. Maggie, Sarah Kate, Adriana all were amazing in helping me navigate every step of the way. I have a feeling I will be back for more work because that is how comfortable I feel with them. Just can’t say enough good things. More

Review from N.B.  |  Source: Google  |  Sep 03, 2023

Last year I followed through with one of the best decisions I had ever made, which was to have a breast reduction. I dealt with incredible back pain, had a terrible time finding clothes that fit properly, and lacked a certain confidence that I knew I deserved to have. I spent a long time researching and looking for the best surgeon who had great reviews, a steady hand, and a gentle manner. When I found Dr. Kumbla and had my consultation, I knew I was making the best decision. Dr. Kumbla and her staff were kind, knowledgeable, and answered any questions I had prior to and after the surgery. The surgery itself went incredibly well. She works tirelessly to provide a level of personal care and attention that just doesn't exist anymore. I would highly recommend Dr. Kumbla to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. I could not be happier with my results! Thank you Dr. Kumbla!!! More

Dr. Song is the best surgeon that I have worked with. Not only does he get you to your desired results but he does it safely. He is very attentive with all and any needs that you will have along the process, especially post op. He can guarantee you amazing results from surgery but when you go home and have to take care of yourself, rest assured that he and his staff (Kate and Adriana) will always answer any questions or concerns that you may have. As a nurse I felt very comfortable and at ease throughout my whole process. I’m almost 6 months post op from a breast reduction and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future. More

Where do I start? I usually don’t do reviews, but I had to do a review on Dr. song and his team from my consultation to my four-week post-op. Kate and the team were excellent. They made me feel so welcome and warm. Even when I was starting the anesthesia, I could hear Kate saying we will take really good care of you; everything is going to be OK that really warms my heart, and I will forever be a client there. Thank you, guys, and my breast augmentation are delightful! More

Getting Back to Me After 3 Sweet Babies! - I’ve been wanting a tummy tuck ever since after I had my first c-section and my OBGYN looked at my stomach and said “the only way you’re going to loose your stomach is to have a tummy tuck.” I had three c-sections and with the first two weighing in at 9lbs 0.2 oz and 9lb 3oz. My last baby was the smallest at 8lb 9oz. Each baby was 28 months after the last.I had a breast reduction by a different surgeon two years ago and afterwards I only saw my belly. I researched several doctors, read countless reviews, searched the end of YouTube for videos and finally chose Dr. Song.My initial consult was April 27, 2021. I arrived alone at Prima Center for Plastic Surgery and was greeted by Stacy. I eventually was taken to the back by Adriana she explained everything that was going to happen during the consult, had me undress and she took photos.Dr Song came in shortly after and explained the procedure, asked questions, performed an assessment and told me what type of tummy tuck I was a candidate for. He was thorough and made it very clear he was not going to flip me over on the table and was not going to perform back lipo. He showed me a video of the process and showed the areas he is going to lipo (the flanks), answered my questions and that was basically it.After he left, Jessica came in and explained the pricing, provided the quote and advised me to call when I was ready to schedule. I paid $75 for the consultation and was told if I choose Dr. Song the $75 will go towards the overall cost of the surgery.I left feeling glad my questions were answered but a little uncertain at the same time. I questioned do I want lipo of my back rolls? Why wouldn’t he flip me over? After giving it much thought, my expectation was to have a natural looking tummy. I don’t want the “Instagram model” look. I don’t want to look overly liposuctioned if that makes sense. I came back to Real Self, reviewed his reviews and photos again, discussed it my husband, my best friend and a few others close to me and then decided I’m going to go for it!I called on May 4, 2021 to schedule the surgery. Cindy was very nice and helpful. It was $500 to schedule the appointment and that will also go towards the cost of the surgery. I’m super happy I took the step, super happy about choosing Dr. Song and look forward to the surgery day this month in September! More

Dr. Song is my #1 Surgeon & He Should Be Your #1 Surgeon Too! - Dr. Song is the BEST! He did my original Breast Augmentation with silicone gel implants back in 2015. They were PERFECT! He really listened to my concerns and gave me the size I envisioned for myself. This past March 2021, I was ready to go a little bigger in size. Of course I went back to Dr. Song. I truly trust his work and expertise. My new size is BEYOND PERFECT! I am so in love! Adriana and Kate, his two assistants, are extremely thorough and really made me comfortable and confident from the beginning of my journey in 2015 to now. I highly recommend Dr. Song and Prima Center! You will not be disappointed. :) More

Updated on 24 May 2021: Many of you guys asked for an update! Well, I LOVE IT HERE! I still have little to no swelling and not having to wear my compression as much. All of my incisions are completely healed and as of now, I’m 5weeks and 3 days post-op. I’m just working on my scars with silicone tape. I will post pics later this week when I change them out. My breast went from a 42H to a 38DD. I lost 10lbs prior to surgery and have lost an additional 10lbs since surgery. ((*I’ve done this purposely with drinking lots of water, dieting, and walking 1-2 miles 3-4 times per week)) More

Dr. Earl Stephenson was amazing! I could not have picked a better surgeon for my breast reduction. He was caring and answered all my concerns/ questions pre and post op and always made sure to make me feel at ease. My breast reduction results far exceeded my expectations and I now have ZERO back and neck pain, not only that my confidence is sky high and my quality of life has drastically improved. From exercising without hurting, to wearing backless dresses, I’m in awe of how much more stuff I can do and enjoy doing it. I get so many compliments on my reduction, if anyone is looking for a surgeon, I highly recommend him. If I need any other work, I will go back to see him. I 100% trust him and his assistant is also so sweet and caring! More

For many years I carried real huge breast (40H) causing severe neck and back pain. My bras were expensive, $85.00 to be exact. I been to many consultations for a breast reduction with several doctors who all recommended the following: lose weight, change your meal plan, and exercise. However having such large breast prevented me from completing certain workouts (jumping jacks, sit ups, running) and wearing my seatbelt correctly while operating my vehicle. I don’t remember the plastic surgeon who referred me to Dr. Stephenson, but I can’t thank him enough. Dr. Stephenson was the one I’d been looking for since the beginning. Consultation was scheduled in February and my surgery took place in April. The results are remarkable! Dr. Stephenson is very specific about his work, informative of all surgical procedures, and recovery orders. Wasn’t a question I asked that he didn’t or couldn’t answer. The best part is, I no longer have neck or back pain. I would recommend him to anyone.Thanks Dr. Stephenson More

Amazing Results! - I am 4 months post op tummy tuck, muscle repair and liposuction to arms, flanks and back. I chose Dr. Song mostly based on his reviews so I felt it is only right that I write one as well. I also loved the fact that the pictures of his work showed low, symmetric scars and natural looking belly buttons. I can say that his work exceeded my expectations and at 4 months post op it just keeps getting better and better! Dr. Song's follow up care, concern and bedside manner is just as great as his hands on work. I would recommend him over and over again. Updated on 3 Jan 2019: I posted a review and could not figure out how to upload pics. So here are some before and after pics. Tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo to flanks, back and arms. Six months later I had breast reduction with lift. All work done by Dr. Song More

Results Are Better Than I Ever Imagined - I had a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Song in April. I initially had consultations set up with three additional surgeons, with the Prima Center as my first appointment. I was so impressed with Dr. Song's expertise and bedside manner, that I canceled my other appointments as soon as I returned home. He listened carefully to what I hoped to achieve, showed me visuals of what the procedures entail, gave me details of exactly what to expect, and answered all of my questions fully. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast augmentation, and liposuction to my stomach, thighs, and back. Dr. Song personally called to check on me the evening after the surgery and requested that I call or text him should I have any questions or concerns. I've never had a physician personally call or give his or her cell phone number to me. This was very comforting and his willingness to be immediately available was extremely appreciated. He is an excellent surgeon, and I highly recommend him to those considering this type of surgery. More

36 Year Old, 168 Lbs, 3 Kids, 2 C-sections Muscle Repair, Tummy Tuck, Lipo, Hernia Repair, Breast Implants - After reviewing several reviews and looking at several before and after pictures, I decided that Dr. Song would be the best doctor. In the beginning, I was considering Dr. Sumanth Pagadala, MD in Columbus, Ga, but notice that he had a lot of concerns by his patience’s. Since I was currently in the process of moving to GA from CA, I decided to do an email consultation. On March 1, 2018, I called into Dr. Song office an asked if I could email photos instead of coming into the office and one of the office staff members took my info and deposit of 75.00 and advised me of the email to send in my photos and someone should contact me within 48 hrs. I get a call the next morning by Dr. Song Nurse Assistant and let’s just say the turnaround time was like Wow. Ms. Wanda was very nice and listen to all my concerns and took notes to have Dr. Song look over. I’m requesting to have (Tummy Tuck, Lipo, Muscle repair, Hernia repair, and silicone breast implants) and the price give was well in my budget. I paid my deposit of $750 to reserve my surgery date which is scheduled for April 27, 2018. I finally got to meet with Dr. Song, for my per- op on March 27, 2018 and just let’s say he’s very professional and explain everything about what will take place during my surgery. He informed me that my Diastasis Recti “(Abdominal Muscle Separation)”, was very bad and it will require him to double stitch me. He also inform me that since my Diastasis was really bad that he wouldn’t recommend me working out for 6 months. After explaining to me about my Diastasis and the sizes of breast implants he will consider using with my body frame, he then show me slides of how each procedure will be performed will in surgery. For my procedure, I was be under for 4 ½ hours. At the time, I didn’t have any questions, so I was provided contact info for Dr. Song and his nurse assistant to contact them with any concerns I may have later. My surgery is schedule for April 27, 2018 and I can’t wait. I will post an update status after my procedure. More

25 Years Old, 5 Foot 10, 34J UK (34M US) - So as you can see from the pictures attached, my biggest problem are my BrEASTS! I’m 25 years old wearing 34M US bras. I am originally from the UK and moved to Atlanta January last year (2017). I think my biggest breaking point apart from quite clearly looking at them was the inability to buy a bra in the US. If I wanted to buy a new bra I would either have to wait until I went back to the UK or would have to import. Both of these options costing a lot of money and still being in pain having to wear them. I don’t know if this blog will help anyone but this site was basically my bible for years and every review/experience helped me make decisions from whether this was the right decision for me to who will be the right doctor for me, so anything I say will hopefully be helpful in some way, shame, or form (just like breast’s, right?) I had a very successful consultation last Friday with Dr. Song at Prima Center for Plastic Surgery, Atlanta. From the moment I walked in, I was comfortable. I didn’t feel rushed and I was half expecting to be in and out in under 20 minutes not feeling comfortable with the information I received and having more questions than I begun with! But that was not the case! I was greeted by a lovely lady at reception and instructed to fill out some new patient forms and then passed over to another lady for measurements and to talk a little. She completely put me at ease and was extremely professional from the moment I walked in. Dr. Song also was very professional when taking measurements and on the breast review side of things. We then sat down where he showed me a PowerPoint presentation of the surgery, talking about risks, method types, as well as before/after pics from his previous surgeries. He went into a lot of detail of the 2 types of surgeries that could be done, one being a traditional approach which involved keeping the nipple attached to the blood supply where he believes he will be able to get me down to a large C/small D (music to my ears!!!!). Another approach being a nipple graft which basically involves cutting away the nipple from the blood supply, getting you down to as small as you want, and reattaching the nipple obviously then losing nipple sensation etc. He was honest and recommended the first method and stressed that patient safety/risk is a high priority for him and I totally believed his every word. When he asked if I had any questions, I pulled out my massive list of notes on my phone and was pleasantly surprised that he had answered most if not all of them. Another couple of pointers to mention from the consultation - he told me an anchor incision would be used for my procedure. He also does side lipo included with the price, he sees this as a must. Does not use drains (yay). And included in the cost would be another pre-op visit, the surgery itself, pain medication, surgical bras after surgery as well as some to take home if I wish, and either 1 or 2 post-op visits (can’t remember how many). After the above, Dr. Song gave me his card and told me to email if there were any further questions I had (this was another massive selling point for me - he cared!). I then sat down with another lady where we went through pricing, finance options as well as dates that Dr. Song had available for surgery. My husband was with me and we came to a quick agreement to take his first opening (April 27th 2018). It was nice to see my husband have total confidence as well. We left the surgery very happy with our experience and have another pre-op visit scheduled for April 9th. Already having nightly dreams of a life without these monsters!! More

I am originally from the UK and moved to Atlanta January last year (2017). I think my biggest breaking point apart from quite clearly looking at them was the inability to buy a bra in the US.

Absolutely fantastic! - I have to say Dr. Song is such a great doctor and person overall. He's very knowledgeable in his work and very flexible. From beginning to end he's consistent and reliable. Coming into the consultation he provided me with all the information I needed without me needing to ask. He's very honest and open to your wants/needs. I'm 29 and have one child and was worried about whether my breast augmentation would sag and if it was a good time to even have surgery done at this time of my life, but I was definitely needing some change to them cause I wasn't getting any younger and didn't think I could wait til I had the rest of my children. But he reassured me that everything would be fine and that of course there's risks, but he made me confident in knowing what I was getting into. I was able to schedule an appointment in 1 week and surgery went well. Friendly staff, love them all (Wanda, Adrianna, Dr. Song, anesthetist, nurse). Based on your results, Dr. Song recommends how fast/slow you can get back to everything. I went in to surgery on Friday and went back to work on Monday following. Checkups are great and he answers all your emails, texts, calls although he's a very busy doctor. His nurse, Adrianna, is so friendly and loving, she's like your best friend there. She's very knowledgable as well and can answer your questions. At 6 weeks my breasts have already dropped significantly and at 2 months I was released to go back to doing all normal activities! He's definitely a down to earth guy and understands the ins and outs of breast augmentation. For best results, I would bring a picture with you to get the results you want (as with any dr). It helped me to get my results to my liking and I'm very very pleased with my breasts. I'm very glad I did this and would recommend this to ANYONE interested in breast augmentation. Great place, very clean, lovely staff, flexible, and reliable. Can't beat it. More

Wish I Would Have Done It (Breast Reduction) Sooner! - I was very nervous about the procedure but Dr. Stephenson and his staff showed the utmost professionalism. They made me very comfortable and explained everything that would happen from beginning to end. I am completely thrilled with the results from my surgery. I just had my one-year check up from the procedure. To my surprise, the doctor wants to see me in one more year. I am pleased by the amount of care and attention I have received.

Mommy Makeover- Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift - Atlanta, GA - Today was my consultation with Dr. Song. I don't know where to start. Beautiful facility, friendly staff and Dr. Song was very informative. He explained my options what procedures could be done and the amount of time it would take. I may be doing 2 surgeries, but will talk about the second one when the time comes. My surgery will consist of a tummy tuck with lipo around abdominal area and flanks as well as a breast reduction/lift. My current breast size is a 32DD. They will be reduced to a full C, I haven't had a C cup since 6th grade!! Yes I developed very fast. Dr. Song showed me photos of results I could expect for my body type. I found this very helpful! He also told me that he would keep in touch with me and contact the person taking care of me the evening of my surgery to check on me.Dr. Song informed me that with every client that undergoes breast sx he sends a sample of the breast tissue to a lab to test for breast cancer.Price.... I was pleased with the price and EVERYTHING it included. Compared to my last consultation I will be saving about 2,000. And I was told 100% of what I pay is refundable. And the price also includes insurance, which covers specific complications within 30 days of surgery up to the maximum benefit. The down payment is 750 for sx more than 2 hours, my surgery should take 6 hours.Im very excited and pleased with my decision! More

BR and BL, 38 No Kids - Atlanta, GA - Dr Mike Song is a true gentleman. Extremely patient, with a calming spirit and demeanor. This was important to me, given the stressful decision to proceed with this procedure. I knew nothing about plastic surgery or surgeons before I decided to do this procedure. I had never met or spoken to anyone who had undergone plastic surgery (I am from a small island). I read the reviews on over a 100 plastic surgeons on Real self, including the "top doctors" in Atlanta. One particular review stood out for me. The patient was what I would consider "fussy". She had consulted about 5 plastic surgeons and Dr Song was the 3rd doctor or so, she had seen. After she consulted with about 2 other doctors, she went back to Dr Song. I liked that. But I especially liked, how Dr Song's patients desrcibed him: skillful, with an eye for the "aesthetics" (beautiful breasts) and painstakingly detailed. I never forgot the use by one patient of that word: "aesthetics". A word I would have never thought of associating with breasts. I therefore decided to go in to see Dr Song based on these reviews. When I met him, I knew he was the right one. He was so calm, not garrulous, but very detailed in his explanations. Although I had about 2 pages of questions, there was no need to ask him all the questions, I had prepared. I just felt settled. I do not need to go on and on about Dr Song's skill, competence or aesthetics, and you do not have to take my word(s) for it, just look at my pictures! Each time, I look at my breasts in the mirror, a huge joker's smile, comes across my face. Words cannot express my gratitude Dr Song. You gave me exactly what I asked for, and helped to increase my self confidence. Shout out to Wanda (patient coordinator) who was always sooooo patient with me, and responded to all my emails promptly. And thanks Adriana (nurse assistant) for really helping me with the healing process. When I came in to remove my stitches, you were so engaging, that it took my mind off the process. Thank you Dr Song and your team. More

Dr. Nakano (Breast Reduction Surgery) - Duluth, GA - I went in yesterday for a breast reduction . I am 35 and my second pregnancy just did a number on my boob's. Until about two days ago, I was wearing a 38H which if fitted properly probably should have been a 38I. Dr Nalani is amazing and his bed side manner is like no other. I was in pre-op waiting on him to come in and was just sobbing to my husband. Between the nerves and not getting to hold my 6 month old baby for weeks coming up just got the better of me. When Dr Nakano came in, just the tone of his voice and calming nature was enough to relax me and put my full faith and trust in him and was ready to go. I am only one day post op and haven't really seen the final result yet, but I can tell you that I am surprised there is not more pain and that I feel as good as I do. All of the nurses also reassured me of how great his work is. I can't wait to buy some smaller tops and wear only one sports bra to the gym instead of three! I also can't wait to feel the relief on my neck and back. It's amazing what four lbs off your chest can feel and look like! My guess is that I am now somewhere between a C-D. And I am totally OK with that! Thank you Dr N. I would highly recommend him! More

28 Years Old - I Have a New Favorite Song - Duluth, GA - There are not enough positive words to describe my feelings about choosing Dr. Song as my surgeon. I have had an amazing experience. I am 3 weeks out and almost feel like I never had a procedure at all. - - Dr. Song is a total pro. He is precise, very professional, gentle, kind, and easy on the eyes. He texts back after hours within seconds. His assistant Alanka, is such a sweetheart and they both made me feel comfortable in such an awkward situation. My breasts are near perfect now and the contour lipo looks amazing. I also had another procedure done but I have very nosy in-laws who know my surgery date and doctors name so..... I'll just say- I read tons of reviews, stalked real self for 2 years, consulted with 5 doctors, and even 2 consultations with Dr. Song. There was NO question after meeting him that he was the one. The only negative thing about the procedure - was having to self inject blood thinning meds. Also- sleeping in a recliner is a must ;) If I ever need any type of procedure in the future I would without a doubt use Dr. Song. More

Dr. Stephenson and his office/ staff were very professional and helpful from the moment that I stepped into the office. I explained to the nurse during my consult what procedures I was looking into and immediately after mentioning the breast reduction she took pictures and planned that she would send the pictures to the insurance company's to find out if my insurance would cover my procedure. Immediately she asked questions about my back,neck and shoulder s along with noticing my "tan lines". So I thought were tan lines she informed me that those lines were from my brassiere digging into my shoulders. Dr. Stephenson arrived in the room and stated that he could in fact do a really good job and that I was definately a candidate for a reduction. All I had to do was wait thirty days to see if my insurance would approve the reduction. More

42 - Breast Reduction, Tummy Tuck & Liposuction Oh My! - Atlanta, GA - After several consultations I picked Dr. Song. Sought insurance coverage for my breast reduction but it was specifically excluded under my policy. Bit the bullet and did private pay together with a tummy tuck. He spent so much time with me during the first consultation, after I got dressed we sat at a table in the exam room with a big monitor on which he showed me power point presentations about both surgeries and before and after pics that were similar to my body shape. I love to learn and had already done a lot of research so I asked a lot of detailed questions about why he does or doesn't do things a certain way. He seemed appreciative and started drawing me illustrations to explain things. He acted like he didn't have another place to be all day and I felt so comfortable with him. His prices are extremely competitive. I would highly recommend that you check him out. He is young (my age although he looks younger) but his training is impeccable (Harvard, Emory, Stanford) and he is double board certified in general and plastic surgery. Not at all condescending, very down to earth and very approachable. He has been fantastic throughout. So responsive during the first very tough post op week. He never left me hanging when I needed him. Totally thrilled with my results. Actually kind of sad that my next appointment isn't for a month since things are going well (currently 19 days post op).

love this man! - Duluth, GA - Dr. Song is the man! Did I say I love this man? He is very straight to the point and honest. If he doesn't feel it's the right thing to do he will let you know. I was a smoker prior to my surgery and he made sure that I was very well informed about the horrible possibilities of smoking and this surgery. I quit about 60 days prior to my surgery. On my 1 week pre-op visit he "fussed" at me and said " I will not do this if you are smoking!" I liked that very much! I would much rather he fuss at me that have someone do it just to do it.Dr. Song has been very informative and you can tell that he is very concerned about the job that he does. He takes the time to walk you through everything and make sure you understand. I researched many Dr's for this procedure and when I found him I just knew!The office staff is great as well. Very friendly and happy to assist you with anything you may need. They were able to get my insurance to approve me in less that two weeks. More

I could have gone anywhere in the world to have my breast augmentation but Prima Center and Dr. Zwiren was my choice. From the very first phone call for an appointment I was treated with respect. All of my questions, and I had a lot, were answered in a very professional manner. I was treated as an individual and this was very important to me. Dr. Zwiren's assistant nurse, Cindy, was especially helpful. The decision to have a cosmetic surgical procedure is very personal and she guided me through the whole procedure. Prima Center is one of the few practices in Atlanta to have a 3D imaging system. Wow, I was able to see my own image on the monitor and select the implant that was best for me. My surgery was done at the office and was much better than a previous experience that I had at a hospital. The results are just what I wanted and I could not be happier. Thank you Prima Center! More
