Nelson Castillo, MD

I’ve never worked with a doctor as impressive as him. His bedside manner truly stands out, and it’s clear he takes pride in both his craft and the well-being of his patients. I spent a long time searching for the right surgeon, meeting with several others first, but he immediately stood out because he genuinely listens and takes your goals seriously. Another thing I appreciated was how minimal the wait times were during my appointments; I rarely had to sit around, which I value a lot. My mommy makeover results turned out exactly as I hoped, and the care I received throughout the entire recovery process was exceptional. Choosing Dr. Nelson for a mommy makeover is a decision you won’t regret.

I had a great experience with my breast augmentation and I’m genuinely thrilled with the results. The healing process went smoothly, and the aftercare was amazing—they checked in on me by phone and email, which made me feel really supported. Anytime I had a question, I got a quick and reassuring response. I’m so happy I decided to do this.

I had 3 syringes of bellafill injected to my forehead by Dr. Nelson Castillo of Atlanta in October 2025 over 2 sessions. You can see from the before/after this was very effective at moderating fairly deep forehead wrinkles and the 11’s at the lower forehead. Forehead wrinkles are one of the toughest problems to solve. There is no surgical solution, since a brow/forehead lift moves the entire forehead structure up, preserving whatever wrinkles are in place. Widespread procedures include Botox, lasers, and microneedling – tried them all, and all nothing burgers for me. Bellafill is the only permanent filler on the market. I am very surprised bellafill has a 50% worth-it rating on realself, because I had 12 syringes of bellafill injected to my cheeks and nasolabial folds about 6 years ago. The result is fantastic and lives up to its permanent characterization. For the forehead, Dr. Castillo did one syringe in the first session, and two syringes in the second session. If I had it to do over, I would have gone one syringe per session, since the two-syringe session gave a lot of swelling/redness. Many doctors/injectors will not inject the forehead with bellafill, so I was happy to find Dr. Castillo locally. The result is still settling, since this is about one month after the 2nd treatment. I will post an update in a few months. Bellafill for the forehead is probably one of the most underperformed procedures in Plastic Surgery (not surgery), because it is possibly the ONLY procedure that will substantially alleviate deep forehead wrinkles.

I cannot rave about this doctor and his practice enough. From the moment I made an appointment, to 6 weeks post op, I have been continuously impressed. The staff break everything down so you know exactly what to expect cost wise. Dr. Castillo treated me so well, and did such an amazing job, that I can’t imagine going anywhere else for any future needs. He did a breast reduction and lift for me and they look better than they did in college. If you just want a consultation please make an appointment here. There is zero pressure to do anything, just informative.

I went to Dr. Castillo for my breast reduction and I can't say enough amazing things about my experience. From the consultation, surgery to post op follow up visits, I am beyond satisfied. A few things that were a deciding factor for me choosing to go with Dr. Castillo was his thoroughness in the consultation, his honest feedback about possible results (not just telling me what I wanted to hear) and his genuine care for my desired safe outcome. I love my results and wish I would've gotten it done sooner!

I had a breast augmentation with lift by Dr. Nelson and his wonderful team, and the whole experience has been incredible. Not only do my breasts look amazing—better than I ever imagined—but I also feel more youthful and confident. What impressed me the most was how quickly I healed. Within just six weeks of my procedure, I was already able to travel outside the country without any issues. The recovery was smooth, and I felt well-supported by Dr. Nelson and his staff every step of the way. Dr. Nelson is truly skilled, and his team is caring, professional, and attentive. I’m so grateful for the results and highly recommend them to anyone considering breast surgery—you will be in the best hands!

This was my third breast procedure, and by far the best. I finally feel like I've found someone who actually listened to what I wanted. Ten years ago I had a full mommy makeover with another doctor. I listened to him instead of telling him exactly what I wanted. I ended up not being happy, as they were too big and the scars never healed properly. Five years later I used a different doctor in the Atlanta area (who everyone raves about on this site) for my explant. I was told by him that the whole capsule had been removed. This year I decided I wanted implants again, but did not want them near as big. I visited two doctors. Dr. Castillo was the only one who gave me options and didn't just tell me what he was going to do. He actually listened to exactly what look I was going for and introduced me to low profile implants, a profile no doctor had ever offered as a choice. I never felt rushed with him. He has made me feel like a trusted friend, and I could not be happier with my results. My scars have healed beautifully and I have the exact look I was going for. I recommend him to anyone in the Atlanta area.

Dr. Castillo is truly a rare gem in the world of plastic surgery—a needle in the haystack. From the very first consultation to the final follow-up, his meticulous attention to detail and genuine care set him apart in every possible way. The results of my procedure are nothing short of incredible—I find myself constantly admiring the outcome. A five-star rating simply doesn’t do justice to the level of skill, dedication, and artistry Dr. Castillo brings to his work. What impressed me most was the thoroughness of his process. He reached out to me personally a few days before surgery to ensure I was fully prepared and at ease. During both the consultation and the procedure, he took the time to explain everything in detail, making the experience feel less like a medical appointment and more like a conversation with a trusted friend. Unlike many surgeons who may offer a single post-op check-in, Dr. Castillo followed up with me multiple times—through both calls and emails—to monitor my recovery and answer any questions. His commitment to patient care goes far beyond expectations. Dr. Castillo’s perfectionism is evident in every aspect of his work. I genuinely believe that if a patient were ever unhappy with their results, he would take it to heart even more than they would—though, in my experience, I can’t imagine anyone being anything less than thrilled. I’m beyond grateful for the exceptional care and results I received. If you're considering a procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Castillo—you won't find a more skilled or compassionate surgeon. P.S. Dr. Castillo’s staff are wonderful as well. An added bonus!

Amazing experience! Dr. Castillo is so attentive and personable, making you feel comfortable every step of the process. Not to mention, he has achieved aesthetic results far beyond my expectations. I feel he really personalizes his approach to every patient with a true eye for artistry. I am only 10 days post-op from liposuction, but I am already thrilled with my outcome so far. Rest assured that you are in great hands if you choose Dr. Castillo.

I recently underwent breast augmentation and liposuction with Dr. Castillo, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Castillo and the entire staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive. They took the time to listen to my goals and concerns, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. I was amazed at how quickly I recovered after the procedures. I anticipated a longer downtime, but the recovery was surprisingly swift, allowing me to get back to my daily routine much sooner than expected. The results are absolutely beautiful—natural-looking and exactly what I hoped for! I highly recommend Dr. Castillo to anyone considering plastic surgery. The expertise and care I received made all the difference, and I couldn't be more pleased with my transformation. Thank you for everything!
