Admittedly, I didn't do a ton of research into providers because I wasn't 100% sure I would go through with having breast augmentation. I'm 46, have never had any kind of cosmetic surgery, knew it would be expensive, and felt like I was too "old" (late) to be doing this. I decided to meet with Dr. Carlson because he had great reviews, is board certified and had completed a fellowship in plastics. My case wouldn't be complicated but I wanted someone who would understand what I wanted and assure me those results. Dr. Carlson put me at ease when I met him and made the process sound straightforward (which it was). I'm just 5 weeks past surgery and very pleased with the work of Dr. Carlson. I trusted him to select the implant size and profile based on what I described as wanting and 3 inspiration photos. That's it! And he made it happen!
To begin, meeting Dr Carlson for the first time was a surprising experience. At first I felt a little anxious but within the first five minutes of him answering my questions and giving me his thoughts on what I should consider doing I was 100% on board. He is very calming, was not trying to “sell” me and came across as the most genuine person and I feel privileged to have had him as my surgeon. I have wanted to fix my abdominal wall, remove skin and fat etc for many years. I am 53, have an autoimmune disorder that makes it very hard for me to lose weight not to mention menopause. I have spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on personal trainers, meal plan kits, gym membership etc. Last year when told I was prediabetic I started the Ozempic journey. I lost a bunch of weight then started personal training to build back muscle. But, that extra flab doesn’t go anywhere, my torn apart abdominal muscles didn’t budge so the only thing I could do seek plastic surgery which thankfully was in a financial position to afford. I also had breast implants for 28 years that I just wanted out. Dr Carlson explained to me in detail what he felt would be my best route and that’s exactly what I did. I booked my procedure that day, cancelled other consults and my surgical journey began 10/15/24. I am happy with my results thus far but my body definitely went into shock and was a little angry but we got that all sorted out. They were there for me right away! I have been in constant communication with Dr Carlson’s staff as well as himself which has been a true blessing. I feel comfort and reassurance with every answer to any question I may have had or still continue to have. I am giving Dr Carlson 5 stars because of his care for his patient (Me) as an individual, his knowledge, expertise, his composure, professionalism and over all genuine care I feel he has for my continued recovery. He’s a 10/10 and I would refer him to anyone that asked who they should see about any procedure they might be seeking. I know I still have a little ways to go as I had a lot done. My procedure included lipo 360 with extended tummy tuck and breast implant exchange with lift. I wake-up everyday still surprised that I don’t have a muffin top anymore lol I never thought I’d see that day!! Haha! Thank you Dr Carlson and your staff your all of your care, patience and for always being there when I have any questions regarding my continuous recovery! Y’all are truly the best and I am blessed to have a great team looking after me. Thank y’all!!! Again 10/10!!
