QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Can asymmetric fat graft on nasolabial folds be removed by liposuction or a facelift? (photo)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)It is difficult to assess your asymmetry on the picture because of shadowing, but I think that I see some heaviness just above your nasolabial fold.
The treatment could involve some conservative liposuction along that line.
Facial aging is often a combination of sagging and volume loss, and the optimal treatment of facial aging often involves correction of both. I am sorry that your volume restoration was less than you hoped for, but improvement is likely possible.

What size and profile implant should I get? I want to have the fullness back and roundness like my wish pic. (photo)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)I recommend that your present your wish pictures to a BC PS for an evaluation. Once you get an idea about the volume desired (I like for patients to try on implants), then the critical factor is that you then pick a base width that complements your goals. That is the best way to pick the profile, no matter what Marketing name (like ‘high’ profile) that the implant company has placed on that implant.

Sore spot on my breast approx a week post-op. Surgeon unavailable, what do I do?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)If your doctor is on vacation, there should be a mechanism to get your questions answered. Your doctor probably has coverage, either a nurse in his office, or coverage by another PS. Call the office and get your questions answered to your satisfaction.

Is the feeling of engorgement normal after 17 months of implant exchange?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)See your PS. If this is developing in the second year, it could be signs of capsular contracture. Other possibilities include a late seroma. Radiation increases the chance of capsular contracture.

Bruising/hematoma on middle part of breast. Advised to put Hirudoid cream on it. Should I see a dermatologist? (photos)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)That doesn't look like a bruise. More like a rash that could be fungal or hypersensitivity rash. Additionally, you are now getting some dark, hyperpigmentation spots. That can be toned down with some hydroquinone, but I think a dermatologist would be ideal to help make a proper diagnosis.

Is it normal for my implants to still look like this 6 weeks out? What can I do? (Photos)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Most implants start out 'high and tight', and over the first 3-6 months they almost always drop down and forward into the breast envelope, which looks much better. I would agree with the breast band, to help this happen.
Trans-axillary breast augmentation does seem to have less predictability on the pocket matching the fold. Give this some time and the band and let it settle first.

My doctor said he couldn't go any smaller than a G to D cup because it would damage to my breast tissue. Is that true?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)I am sorry that you did not get the size that you want. I believe that your doctor was concerned about the blood supply to your nipples and breast flaps. The more that these are 'thinned down', the greater chance of poor healing or necrosis.
It is challenging to take a very big G breast and make it very small. I would give it 6-12 months, but in the mean time, you can communicate your wishes to your PS. Some additional reduction is possible after things have settled down.

Should by crease incision be lower? Could it be causing my pain? (photo)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)The transverse scar of breast reduction is usually placed at or near the fold, and then as the breast settles, it can migrate up or down a little. Better too high of a transverse scar, than too low, which is more likely to migrate out of a bra or bathing suit.
I am not sure about your pain. I dont think that the scar is 'causing it', but with the previous implant surgery followed by reduction, there are more than one possible causes. I believe that you should evaluate this with your PS.

I have managed to do several breast lifts and reductions under local with sedation, but it is a struggle to keep the patient comfortable.
I would recommend that you go over your fears of anesthesia and the risks and benefits of both choices with your PS. If the patient is comfortably un-aware, the surgery procedes smoothly and quickly.
Give me a well planned, well controlled, general anesthetic by an experienced provider any day.

Is a reduction from H to D with a history of keloid scarring a realistic surgery for me?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Most women find the trade offs (scarring, perioperative pain) are far and away worth the benefits (decreased back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain)
You need to clarify your history of scarring with your PS. Many patients dont have keloids, but hypertrophic scarring, which is easier to manage. Either case, these scars can usually be managed well to make the procedure worth the risk.

The BEST Before and After!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Curtsinger and my experience with him and his team. After spending months researching plastic surgeons throughout southeast Georgia and attending several consultations—some free and some with fees—it became clear that Dr. Curtsinger was the best choice by far. His results are consistent, his knowledge is unmatched, and his bedside manner is truly outstanding. From the very first consultation, he took the time to really listen to me and understand my long-term goals. He explained everything thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. Unlike other consultations I had, I never felt rushed or like I was just another patient—he genuinely cared about my outcome. I underwent a circumferential body lift with him, and the entire process could not have gone more smoothly. My surgery and recovery both went better than I ever expected, thanks to his skill and guidance. Now, looking at my results, I can honestly say they are absolutely amazing and life-changing. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines expertise, compassion, and exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Curtsinger. He exceeded my expectations in every way.

Life Changing
I knew after losing almost 100lbs I would need/desire to have a tummy tuck. It took two years after making that decision to find the best surgeon for me. During my consultation Dr. Curtsinger recommended the CBL Circumferential Body Lift. I was able to vocalize my “dream body” and he visualized it. This procedure has been life changing. I finally have the confidence in my body that I love.

Life-Changing CBL with Dr. Curtsinger!
Having a Circumferential Body Lift (CBL) with Dr. Curtsinger was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After years of struggling with loose skin and feeling disconnected from my body, this surgery gave me a new sense of confidence and freedom I didn’t think was possible. Dr. Curtsinger is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon, but also kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in his patients’ well-being. He made me feel heard, safe, and supported every step of the way—from consultation to recovery. The results exceeded my expectations—natural, beautiful, and completely transformative. I finally feel like myself again, and I owe that to Dr. Curtsinger and his amazing team. If you’re considering a CBL, don’t hesitate. He truly changed my life!

I Had an Amazing Experience!!
Dr. Curtsinger was amazing! From start to finish he made my experience fun and exciting. He was patient with all of my questions, very knowledgeable about the procedures I had done, and told me exactly what to expect before, during, and after. I had the mommy makeover, complete with a breast augmentation and tummy tuck 360 lower body lift with muscle repair and a hernia repair. He was so kind and patient to answer my call post surgery when I had questions or concerns after hours. Elaine was equally kind and and just such a sweet lady. I am so pleased with my procedures post surgery!!! I highly recommend Dr. Curtsinger and would do this again. My confidence has definitely boosted and I get so many compliments. I’ve been told I look like I’m in my 20’s again (I’m 49!) Thank you Dr. Curtsinger, Elaine, and staff for a smooth and seamless journey!

Making the Right Decision!
If I could give more stars, I would. Having a rare blood disease, I was hesitant on getting an elective mommy makeover procedure because I didn’t want to put my health at risk. However, Dr. Curtsinger and his team went above and beyond to answer every question, they were completely thorough and transparent with my blood specialist and myself. It’s very important to find a doctor that listens to you, and validates your concerns, as well as staff. I am extremely pleased with my results and so very grateful to everyone. He really is a miracle worker, I’m so happy to have my confidence back. After my procedure, he and his team called to check in on me numerous times, I truly feel cared for as a person, not just a patient. Your health and happiness go hand in hand, this is a team that values both.
