Dr. Mackay is a well-respected, double board-certified plastic surgeon who has over 30 years of experience performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery for children and adults. Known for his world-class bedside manner, he is a Founding Partner of Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists.

All surgeons stay updated on the latest surgical procedures and cutting-edge technology. Always striving for comfort, safety and results” as stated on their website.
Throughout his academic career, Dr. Mackay attended Vanderbilt University where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree. He then went on to receive his medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. After going on to complete his residency training in both general surgery and plastic surgery at Emory University, he was not content to rest on his laurels. Instead, he took part in an additional fellowship training program in pediatric and adult craniofacial surgery and aesthetic surgery of the facial skeleton at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Before tackling the challenges of a private practice, Dr. Mackay used his extensive knowledge by teaching others as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Plastic Surgery. He shared his training with his students both at the Mayo Clinic as well as Emory University School of Medicine. During his stay with the Mayo Clinic, he was the Director of the Aesthetic and Reconstructive Fellowship Program. During his time with the Emory Clinic, he was the Director of the Craniofacial Program and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta- Egleston.
In his current capacity, he is affiliated with Georgia Oral and Facial Reconstructive Surgery, Piedmont Hospital, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Northside Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and Northside Hospital-Forsyth.
A true professional, Dr. Mackay’s dual certification comes from both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, as well as a member of the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. His meticulous desire to increase his skills and knowledge led to his receiving an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons for his research in endoscopic minimal incision brow lifts.
In addition to his teachings and private practice, he has published numerous scientific articles and book chapters. He continues to share his vast wealth of knowledge as a guest speaker both nationally and internationally.
Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.
Engaging and sincere, Dr. Mackay’s combination of experience and training has earned him a number of awards, including the Top Doctor Award from Castle Connolly, the Patients’ Choice Award from Vitals.com, and the Super Doc Award from SuperDoctors.com. He was also chosen as one of the 12 men of the year by Men’s Book Magazine Atlanta.
