Dr. Castillo and his entire staff were professional from the first call to the last visit. Although I was very self-conscience about my figure, they made me feel safe and comfortable, I was nervous about having any procedure and they allowed me to ask countless questions and answered them all, they explained everything in detail and I was overjoyed with the results. I would highly recommend them. I truly believe they have given me a second chance of feeling good about myself again. I can once again tuck my shirts in and wear tighter fitting shirts as I have a waist again!!
I recently had a rhinoplasty at this location with Dr. Castillo in January 2019 and I could not understate how swiftly, and effortlessly, the process went. I had great results almost instantly, despite the fact that my nose is still a bit swollen and I won't be able to see the final result for a year. I had everything I'd asked for and that we discussed accomplished and that was my primary hope and goal for this process. Beyond this, I had three additional goals: to find a highly knowledgeable doctor with years of experience, one with a professional staff, and a doctor expert enough to have the surgery as painless as possible (highly important for me, because I have a low pain tolerance). Dr. Castillo met all my expectations, and beyond. My Surgery Journey: Before Surgery (2 years or so ago): I was researching more permanent fixes for the lack of bridge in my nose (I am African-American, female, and it's common for African-Americans/Asians/etc) and I had twice gotten non-surgical procedures with Dr. Castillo just to lengthen my nose and try out the look without anything permanent. I really enjoyed those results and how well he did them, so when it came time to choose a more permanent result, a rhinoplasty, I stuck with Dr. Castillo because I knew he had the experience and ability to give me the results I wanted. Also, his staff was incredibly kind and flexible, which was a bonus. Day of Surgery (January 2019): I arrived for my surgery and was instantly put at ease with how well the anesthesiologist inserted the IV painlessly (again, I have a very low pain tolerance) and how friendly and competent he was. By the time everything settled in, I expected to wake up with pain and immense discomfort because I had had an implant inserted in my nose. (No visible cuts or scars, at all!) Post-Surgery: By the time I woke up, I was completely without pain. I didn't even need to take Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or Advil even once during my recovery. On a pain-level it was a 0. The only discomfort was having to breathe through my nose, needing to stay home during recovery, and not being able to wash my hair and face as of yet, which is to be expected and highly doable for the week. I drove 3 hours to have Dr. Castillo as my doctor and it was well worth the trip and finances. I highly recommend him for rhinoplasty, it is painless, highly doable, and with a very professional staff.
I recently had a Liposculpture procedure performed by Dr. Castillo. I am very pleased with my results. I consulted with 3 providers to determine which procedure was right for me and I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Castillo. He was very thorough in explaining in detail the procedure, recovery and expectations. His state of the art surgery suite provides privacy and convenience. His staff is top notch and excel in patient comfort. I had less pain and swelling than I expected and my recovery has been smooth sailing. I would highly recommend Dr. Castillo and his staff.
Great Experience as new patient considering options for aging face and neck. Had a great consultation with Dr Castillo and realized quickly that he is conservative in his suggestions and truly cares about the patient and what is truly best for you. He gave me 3 different options to consider and asked me to take the time to think about them carefully before jumping to a decision. He took the time to explain all so thoroughly. I ended up getting Botox to start and think my tired looking eyes look so much better already on day 6. I will return!
Superb experience with Dr. Castillo and his staff. ( they have been with him for years and that says a lot) My results exceeded my expectations. His experience , bedside manner and artistry were/are wonderful. Wouldn't ever go to any other PS !
Dr. Castillo and his staff were fantastic! It was my first time having a consultation and procedure for Botox, so I was nervous, but they put me at ease - explained everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable. They also made sure I didn't do anything I wouldn't be completely satisfied with - to start small. I am glad I did. And I'll keep coming back!
It was worth every penny , the surgery went extremely well and the results were fantastic Dr Castillo is honest caring and let you know exactly what you can expect Had several procedures over a few years which were great , had laser resurfacing, eyelid surgery and fillers done . Dr Castillo takes the time to explain everything
This was one of the best decisions I have ever made to get liposculpture! I felt extremely confident that Dr Castillo would do a great job and he exceeded any expectations I could've had. It has been a process & a journey nonetheless, but I'm glad I did it. I feel terrific and look amazing in my clothes. My ONLY problem is that i need a new wardrobe. His entire staff is extremely caring and professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else he is a great surgeon with an incredible amount of experience.
Over the last 30 years I’ve used Clinique, Mary Kay, Neova, and many over-the-counter products and nothing compares to Dr. Castillo’s skin care line. The Replenishing Cream is fantastic and a must have! After just two days of using the Replenishing Cream, my skin feels better than ever! My face feels soft, clean, moisturized, and hydrated! If you haven’t tried the Replenishing Cream, actually the whole line of Dr. Castillo’s skin care, I highly recommend you do so! You won’t regret it - totally worth the investment!
From the consultation to the final visit, I have been nothing but happy with my choice to have Dr. Castillo perform my surgery. His staff is extremely friendly and professional, and made me comfortable from the moment I first stepped into the office. I was impressed with Dr. Castillo's input throughout my consultation, and his honesty when discussing what I wanted to achieve was refreshing. The procedure went exactly as it was explained to me, and the personal touches, the check-in phone calls, and the care that was exhibited by all of the staff made the process so easy. The facilities are exceptionally clean, and the surroundings are comfortable and calm. My recovery was a breeze, and I felt Dr. Castillo did a great job of preparing me for what to expect along the way. He never rushed through visits, and always exhibited a very genuine and caring attitude. I would recommend Dr. Castillo and his staff to anyone who might be considering any procedure. My results have been more than I expected, and those who have seen the results have been amazed at how natural my breasts look. To say that I'm pleased with the results would be an absolute understatement. Thank you to Dr. Castillo and his staff for everything!
It sounds like you can benefit from a Rhinoplasty ( nasal surgery). It also sounds like you have asymmetries which can be related to differences in bone growth between the right and left sides of your face. If those differences are significant, many times they can be corrected through an implant or through fat transplantation. An experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon will be able to answer your questions, show you before and after photos of their work, and present you with the best options available to help you meet your goals.Best wishes
While credentials are important, experience is everything. Do not settle for less when considering the best surgeon to perform your Rhinoplasty surgery. Do your homework, both on the internet and by talking with friends and family. Research the surgeons within the region you are willing to travel to. Begin by seeking out Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon's who have a great deal of experience with nasal surgery. During your consultation, the surgeon should be able to show you several before and after photos that are similar to your case. This will help you determine whether his or her artistic views and before and after photos match your desired outcome. Best of luck in your search!
It has only been three weeks since your upper eyelid surgery. You will continue to see improvements in your incision and swelling over the next several weeks. I would recommend two things:1. Be patient with your body. Recovering from surgery takes time. 2. If you have not already done so, I recommend sharing your concerns with your plastic surgeon. He will be able to access and reassure you. At some point, your surgeon my ask that you begin to massage the upper eyelid which will bring suppleness to the lids. Again, discuss this with your surgeon.Best of luck.
Unless your surgeon has advised you to wait to exercise, it is quite okay to exercise using weights one month after a Rhinoplasty. I recommend to my Rhinoplasty patients that they begin to massage the nose and tender areas at about three weeks after their surgery. This helps with swelling and gets them more comfortable with their new nose. Having some swelling four months after your Rhinoplasty is within normal limits and shouldn't hold you back from your daily activities. You should consult your surgeon regarding your concerns if you haven't done so.
From the pictures that you show, it seems to me that the issue is not so much related to thick skin but to a wide nasal tip. A rhinoplasty would change not only your nasal profile by reducing the hump in your nose, but also by decreasing the width of your nasal tip and making the nasal tip area better defined, which will add sophistication to your nose.
