That year allowed her to further develop her approach to facial plastic surgery, breast procedures, and body surgery with an emphasis on precision, safety, and natural proportion.

Her positive attitude and dedication to being the best she can be shows up in her care: practical, upbeat, and never one-size-fits-all.
Dr. Santosa believes the best plastic surgery experience begins with feeling known. Her practice is built on honesty, openness, and steady communication, starting with your very first consultation. She takes time to understand what you want from treatment, what you hope to avoid, and what would make your results feel right for you. That connection helps her see the full person behind the procedure, so your care can be shaped with intention, warmth, and natural-looking results in mind.
Dr. Santosa’s thoughtful and personable approach helps patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident in their choices. From consultation through recovery, results, and long-term maintenance, she remains closely involved in the whole process, offering guidance that feels clear rather than rushed.

After surgery, Dr. Santosa uses refined techniques and recovery guidance to help your body heal well and support your best possible outcome.
We care deeply about the way our patients are treated, not only the way their results look. Our goal is to partner with you in a way that feels healthy, honest, and holistic, helping you move toward your aesthetic goals with confidence and ease.
Every part of your treatment is planned with two goals in mind: a beautiful cosmetic result and a healthier, more supported experience around it. Dr. Santosa takes a whole-person approach to aesthetics, shaping each cosmetic and reconstructive surgery around your anatomy, goals, lifestyle, and the kind of result you actually want to live with. As both a body and facial plastic surgeon, her techniques are selected with care, so your treatment complements both your appearance and the way you move through daily life. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Katherine B. Santosa performs select face, breast, and body procedures in her boutique plastic surgery practice, using local anesthesia whenever possible to help patients achieve a more manageable recovery. More intensive procedures, like mommy makeovers, breast augmentations, or rhinoplasty, are performed in their accredited surgical facility. She understands the trust involved in choosing plastic surgery and carries that responsibility into each detail of your care, from the first conversation to the final result.
A facelift and neck lift, sometimes paired as a mini lift, can offer one of the most complete approaches to facial rejuvenation. These facial cosmetic procedures address the changes that skincare and non-surgical treatments cannot fully correct, including sagging along the lower face, loose skin beneath the chin, and deeper folds that soften the jawline over time. Some patients choose one procedure on its own, while others see the most natural-looking improvement when the face and neck are treated together. In combination, a facelift and neck lift can create firmer-looking skin, smoother contours, and a more rested appearance without changing the character of your face. Dr. Santosa uses carefully placed incisions and refined surgical techniques to preserve what is already beautiful while giving the lower face and neck a cleaner, more lifted shape.
Face & Neck LiftA Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of procedures that addresses the physical changes many patients notice after pregnancy, childbirth, weight shifts, or time. The plan can look different for everybody, because the concerns are rarely identical. Some patients want to restore breast volume. Others are focused on excess skin, stubborn fat, abdominal looseness, or changes that make clothing fit differently than it used to. Your treatment plan may include several functional and cosmetic surgeries offered by Dr. Santosa, depending on your anatomy and goals. Common choices include breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, labiaplasty, tummy tuck surgery, or facial procedures for patients who want a more complete refresh. For patients in Alpharetta and the greater Atlanta area, Dr. Santosa creates each Mommy Makeover with careful attention to proportion, recovery, and a result that feels natural to your life.
Mommy MakeoverEyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, refines the delicate area around the eyes for a brighter, more rested look. By removing small amounts of excess skin and tissue, this procedure can improve upper eyelid heaviness, soften wrinkling, and help with vision concerns caused by drooping skin. Although eyelid surgery is a focused procedure, the change can make the whole face look lighter and more awake. For patients near Alpharetta and throughout the Atlanta area, Dr. Santosa approaches blepharoplasty with careful attention to proportion, incision placement, and the natural shape of the eyes, creating a refreshed appearance without making the result look obvious.
Eyelid SurgeryA breast lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and sometimes tissue to raise the breasts’ position on the chest wall for a perkier look. Though a breast lift does not enhance the breasts’ volume, it does create a fuller look and feel. A breast lift is ideal for patients with sagging or “deflated” breasts and can also be combined with breast augmentation for enhanced size and placement. Dr. Santosa designs each breast lift to complement the patient’s body proportions for the best, most natural outcome.
Breast LiftBreast augmentation can enhance breast volume, shape, and overall body proportion in a way that feels personal rather than prescribed. For some patients, that means a soft, natural increase in fullness. For others, it means restoring volume after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging has changed how the breasts sit on the body. Breast enhancement surgery uses silicone or saline implants to create the desired breast size and shape. During the planning process, Dr. Santosa will walk you through implant options, proportions, and how different choices may look with your frame. Breast augmentation may also be paired with a breast lift or included as part of a Mommy Makeover for patients near Alpharetta who want a more complete breast or body contouring result.
Breast AugmentationLip lift and buccal fat removal procedures can bring more definition to the lower face without adding volume where it doesn’t belong. A lip lift shortens the space between the upper lip and the nose, helping the lips appear fuller and more youthful using your own natural anatomy. Buccal fat removal can create a slimmer, more contoured look by reducing fullness in the lower cheeks. Some patients choose one procedure, while others combine both for a more balanced facial cosmetic result that highlights their natural beauty. For patients near Alpharetta and throughout the Atlanta area, Dr. Santosa takes a measured approach, refining the lower face while preserving softness, movement, and natural facial harmony.
Lip Lift & Buccal Fat RemovalDr. Santosa’s research background shapes the way she thinks about recovery, comfort, and the weeks that follow surgery. Her goal is to make the healing process feel as smooth and supported as possible, with careful planning before your procedure and close guidance afterward.
She performs select surgical and non-surgical procedures in-office when appropriate, including facelifts, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, buccal fat removal, lip lift, liposuction, and fat grafting. After your procedure, you’ll have direct access to ongoing support from Dr. Santosa and her team. You'll also be seen for an early follow-up assessment within the first 24 hours, with additional visits scheduled to monitor healing, answer questions, and make sure your recovery is progressing well. Recovery support may include supplements to help reduce bruising, medical-grade skincare, and lymphatic massage. This comprehensive approach can reduce or eliminate the need for opioids after surgery for many patients, and for those traveling from Alpharetta, North Atlanta, or beyond, that level of access and planning can make the post-surgical experience feel less uncertain.
