I went in for an inverted nipple surgery and breast augmentation everything turned out amazing the healing was very quick I felt back to normal after 2 weeks!the shape and size is exactly what I wanted. Dr.curtsinger had amazing bed side manners he understood what I wanted. Also Elaine and Alyson were amazing on getting back with me with any questions I had after my surgery.
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.
Experience from the beginning until now is awesome. I’ve had Dr. Curtsinger years ago for a breast reduction and came back for my mommy makeover. Bedside manners are amazing and an absolutely love all of his staff. This office has a great group of people from beginning until now. I would highly recommend Dr. Curtsinger for your plastic surgery needs. Gives great information and with honesty. I’m looking more amazing every week and his work is outstanding. Awesome job for the both of us with high fives and hugs. “As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.”
Truly fantastic! From start to finish, Dr. Curtsinger has been amazing. I could not be happier with the results. I lost 150lbs and had significant loose skin. I was working out but still had the loose skin that was causing massive irritation and skin breakdown. Dr. Curtsinger gladly saw me as a patient and discussed with me what my end goal was. I am now one year out. I can run again without skin breakdown, I can wear shorts again without skin breakdown, and most importantly, I can feel confident again. Best decision made. Dr. Curtsinger is thorough and truly cares about his patients and their outcomes. REVIEW500
Dr. Curtsinger is AMAZING! I recently had a mommy makeover consisting of a tummy tuck with muscle repair and hernia repair, along with a breast augmentation using 580cc silicone under the muscle. From the very beginning when I went for my consultation, he and his staff were so friendly and helpful. What should have only been an hour long consultation lasted nearly 2 hours because after his very thorough examination, they actually took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed for a single second. They made sure that I knew exactly what to expect from the suggested procedures. Once I was able to review my options, I made my decision on which procedures I wanted and Elaine very clearly went over pricing and payment options with me and had me booked for surgery within two months of my consultation. My recovery has been the easiest and Dr. Curtsinger and his staff have been available to quickly address any questions or concerns that I have had. I am 4 weeks post-op today and my scars are looking better than other scars I have seen at nearly 1 year post-op.
This surgery was a great experience for me. I am 56 years old. Before surgery, I weighed 157 lbs. My waist measured 35" and me hips were 41". Dr. Curtsinger removed 6 lbs of excess skin during surgery and I have lost another 6 lbs post surgery. My waist is now 29" and my hips are 36". This surgery is a game changer! The circumferential body lift is one of Dr. Curtsinger specialties. He is an amazing doctor: smart, kind, and compassionate. I went from size 10/12 to a 6. Even my bra fits better. This surgery addresses all problem areas: removal of excess tummy fat and skin (post child birth which I could never seem to lose regardless of diet and exercise), butt lift (amazing, you'll have your 25 yr old behind back!), eliminates back fat rolls (you don't need a new bra or spanx- you need this surgery), and a thigh lift. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am so glad I got this surgery!

Dr. Curtsinger is truly one of a kind. I had been looking into getting a breast augmentation with a lift for the past 9 years. I had done a total of 5 different consultations throughout my search. Nobody made me feel so at ease and confident about the decision until I stepped into Savannah Plastic Surgery. From the consultation to post-op, Dr. Curtsinger and his team have been nothing short of informative, responsive, and caring. The surgery itself was a breeze. I have never had surgery or anesthesia prior to this. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. The nurses were amazing and gave me the upmost reassurance throughout the entire process. Recovery was so much easier than I thought it would be. I ended up not needing to use the heavy pain killers and felt back to myself by about 2 weeks. For some background info, I am 5’3” and fluctuate between 150-160 lbs. I started with a deflated B/C cup from 3 pregnancies and breastfeeding. I went with 560cc HP implants and could not be more pleased with my results. I would use Dr. Curtsinger again and again. I highly recommended him to anyone looking to improve their confidence!As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
I consulted with Dr Curtsinger thinking I needed a tummy tuck. He told me to get the outcome I wanted, I’d do better with a lower body lift, muscle repair, and he’d do a smal BBL. We discussed a breast reduction that could be covered by insurance. I opted for all of the above, drainless. I also knew what size I wanted my breast to end up. It may or may not be covered, but we wouldn’t know til he went in. After surgery, we knew that it wouldn’t be covered, but I was thankful he listened. I had no pain at all surgery day. After that, it was a 2/10. 2 weeks in, I did get a seroma. He was got me in immediately and managed it. It was a process, but the team was all over it making sure it healed correctly. Anytime I have called, they have been quick to answer. If it’s after hours, they call back or will call the next business day. Dr Curtsinger told me I’d go from an 8/10 to a 4-8 and lose at least 10 pounds. The procedure took 9 pounds of fat and skin off. I’m down 20 pounds and in a size 4/6 just 3 mos out. I couldn’t be happier. This has been life changing. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
I had a complete body lift and mastopexy done by Dr. Curtsinger 9 weeks ago, and I couldn't be more pleased/excited with my results! From the moment I met Dr. Curtsinger he made me feel comfortable and at ease about the procedures. He never made me feel rushed or like I was just another number. After my surgery he has made me feel nothing but confident. I owe all of my confidence to him! The nurse and all of the staff have also been wonderful. I cannot recommend Dr. Curtsinger enough! He completely changed my life! As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
I got my drainless tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks with Dr.Curtsinger Dec 2022. My recovery was easy and I was up and going in 8 days. I was back to work in 4 week. Best decision ever. Highly recommend him and his amazing team!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
