The breast conveys an important sense of a woman’s femininity. Breast augmentation surgery allows a woman to obtain a more youthful breast shape and contour, while creating a more proportionate body silhouette. As one of the most common cosmetic procedures, breast augmentation is ideal for women who desire fuller breasts, wish to replace volume lost from breast-feeding or weight-loss, or wish to correct an inherent asymmetry. Dr. Castillo’s goal is to give his patients the most attractive and natural-looking results, customizing a surgical plan that maximizes each patient’s figure.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and returning to such great shape after your pregnancies. Nothing replaces an in-person examination of your tissues but it appears you could have a nice improvement with a mini-tummy tuck procedure to address the excess skin and lax muscles of your lower abdomen. A thorough discussion of the limitations of the procedure does need to be discussed so that you can make the best decision for you and your responsibilities.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I would recommend either seeking additional consultations that fully inform you of your treatment options, and can give you the option of trialing various sizers in various profiles to provide you the best visual demonstration of what your outcome may approximate.

Thank you for sharing your photograph and question! It appears you will have a nice result and it is not uncommon to have swelling within the belly button that may take months to resolve. There are options at improving the swelling now, but best to ask your surgeon your options. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry that your result has not been what you anticipated. After a year, only a surgical revision will allow a meaningful change to your outcome and switching out sizes would likely be the easiest procedure. More standard views of your breasts would provide a more accurate recommendation. Seek out a series of surgeons in consultation to get the best advice.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I do hope you are recovering well from your laparotomy! A tummy tuck would be able to remove much of the vertical scar, while repositioning any that could not be removed lower on your abdomen to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing result. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. At your height you should be able to accommodate a larger implant. I would recommend seeking out additional in-person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who can provide you with additional options based on your desired outcome, and starting position.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It is possible to have your mommy makeover scheduled in that timeframe and recovery will be dictated by the exact procedures you are interested in obtaining. I would seek out several in-person consultations to get the specifics for your case.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Although nothing replaces an in-person consultation to review your goal results, you would best be served by an implant and lift to maximize aesthetics and longevity of results.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated. I do think you can likely improve upon these results but it will require a revision surgery. I would take your "before" pictures and seek out a number of in-person consultations with board certified plastic surgeons to get the best advice.

Great Doctor With Great Results

I recently had a breast lift and a tummy tuck with additional lipo with Dr. Nelson Castillo, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. It's an understatement to say it exceeded my expectations. From the first consultation, Dr. Castillo was attentive, thorough, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. After reading great online reviews, I booked an appointment. The patient coordinator, Angelica, is a sweetheart. She answered all my questions and concerns, even though my husband hesitated before my initial consultation. In my initial consultation, Dr. Castillo took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions with clarity and patience. I had all the questions, but Dr. Castillo answered them confidently. I went for a second consultation, since I had gained weight. Dr. Castillo, didn't miss a beat, told me what I needed to hear and followed up. He encouraged me to lose weight before the surgery by checking up on me and holding me accountable. The surgery went smoothly, and Dr. Castillo and their entire team were caring, ensuring I felt at ease. Dr. Castillo is a perfectionist. My surgical Recovery had a few hiccups due to a hematoma on the left breast, but Dr. Castillo was quick to act. My left breast made a swift and smooth recovery. Even when I had moments of doubt, I would email him, and he would call or email me to provide the answer. Let's talk about scars. I was afraid of what the outcome would be. My scars are barely visible. My breast scars are not noticeable. I'm still healing, but I'm so satisfied. Dr. Castillo followed up regularly to ensure I was healing as expected. The results are excellent—I couldn’t be happier. I am new and owe it all to Dr. Castillo’s expertise and dedication. If you’re considering any procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Castillo —He is simply the best!"

You Won’t Find a Better Surgeon, Period !!

From my first consultation to final follow-up, the entire experience with Dr. Nelson Castillo has been outstanding. I underwent both liposuction and breast reduction with him, and honestly—I couldn’t be happier with the results. The results are truly life changing. Dr. Castillo listened closely to my goals and concerns, offering compassionate guidance with a clear sense of expertise. He used his artistic eye to sculpt my body in a way that feels natural, balanced, and beautifully proportioned. My breast reduction has lifted more than just my physical appearance—I feel so much more comfortable, confident, and free in my daily life. My breasts are younger, perkier and just the perfect size. Considering how big my breasts were to start with, I did not expect the result that Dr Castillo has created. To say that I’m amazed will be an understatement. And the liposuction results? Sculpted perfection—smooth, refined, and far better than what I envisioned from the beginning. My waist line is better than a teenager. That’s how good the results are. I have yet to meet a doctor or a surgeon with bed side manners like Dr Castillo. He is literally there every step of the way during the recovery. He follows up with emails, calls and my follow up appointments in person were just as detailed as my initial consultation. I never once felt rushed or overlooked during appointments or follow-ups. If you’re considering liposuction or breast reduction, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Dr. Nelson Castillo. His combination of skill, compassion, and commitment to patient satisfaction made this one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I feel truly grateful!

10 out of 10!!

My experience with Dr. Castillo was exceptional - truly outstanding from start to finish! I had my 20-year-old saline breast implants replaced with silicone, underwent scar revision, and had a small area of liposuction. During my consultation, Dr. Castillo spent a full hour thoroughly reviewing my medical and surgical history and walking me through every option in great detail. He explained the best and recommended techniques, options, pros and cons, and answered all of my questions with patience and care. I never felt rushed—he gave me his full undivided attention. His staff was equally impressive: polite, easy to work with, and highly responsive throughout the quoting and scheduling process. On the day of surgery, Dr. Castillo demonstrated the same meticulous approach, carefully marking, planning, and contemplating every angle, placement, and approach. His thoughtful consideration made it clear that he takes immense pride in his work and has the eye of a true artist. Post-surgery, his follow-up care was unmatched. He checked in daily through calls and emails, offered clear instructions, and made himself available to answer any questions I had. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being and is committed to achieving the best possible results. I’m currently two weeks post-op and my results are absolute perfection! I had little to no bruising and my scars are flat, symmetrical, and barely visible. Dr. Castillo is not only a skilled surgeon, but also personable, charismatic, funny, and professional. I will absolutely return to him for any future procedures and highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

By Far Exceeded my Expectations

I have thought about doing this for myself for such a long time that I took choosing a surgeon very seriously. I am very picky and Dr. Castillo has truly exceeded my expectations during every step of my breast augmentation. I knew he was a very skilled surgeon before meeting him but he’s also understanding, compassionate and truly cares. ? I’m only 2 weeks post-op and I’m already in love with my results, he gave me exactly what I asked for. I’ve shown multiple friends and they have all asked who my surgeon is. The surgery itself was also easier than I could have imagined, thanks to his skill. Dr. Castillo made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and I’m so grateful I found him. Highly recommend, the 5 star reviews are well deserved!

Incredible Surgeon with the Best Bedside Manner and the Most Involved Aftercare!!!

After losing a significant amount of weight I was left with a lot of extra skin and deflated breasts which were both impeding on my self confidence. After extensive research and several consults I found Dr. Castillo! I immediately knew that I found my surgeon! I left my consult with full confidence in his skill and ability to provide my desired results. Dr. Castillo performed an extended TT, mons lift, breast lift with implants. He FAR exceeded my expectations creating a body I never in my wildest dreams imagined I could have. You will truly not find a more involved and caring surgeon. Dr.Castillo always took his time with me, never made me feel rushed, and regularly checked in after my surgery. I will forever be for grateful to Dr.Castillo for the care he provided me before and after my surgery. And most of all for his talented surgical skills that truly changed my life.

I went from an F to a small B and it has changed my life.

I recently had breast implant removal along with a breast reduction and lift. It is hard to put into words how happy I am with the results, but my life is 100 times better since surgery. Dr. Castillo listened to all my concerns and wishes for the reduction and the sizing I wanted to be when finished. I went from an F to a small B and it has changed my life. Dr. Nelson checked in on me for months prior to surgery and every week after surgery. He is extremely meticulous and talented. Over and over, I would recommend him!
