Great artistic eye and injection savvy

Dr. Kahler and his staff are super! He is by far the most caring and honest around. He knows just how much is enough to enhance without making you look fake or like you've had something done. This review is heartfelt too. I didn't even start getting injections until after 60.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway

Liposuction

liposuction of my abdomen, upper arms, bra line, and chin.

He was very professional. He took time during the procedure to hide scars. I am 6 days post op and the only complaint I have is the compression garment. That is not his fault. I just try getting it too tight. My fault. I am excited to see my results in 3 months.

The results are nothing short of phenomenal

I had an amazing experience ! I lost roughly 173lbs over the course of 1year and 9 months. I was left with self confidence issues and a lot of excess skin around my waist. I met with Dr.Kahler and staff to discuss my options. From the start to the finish these folks are wonderful. They called to check on me . They helped me more than I expected and the results are nothing short of phenomenal. Very glad I chose to use Dr.Kahler and his staff .

Putting Life Back in Order - Carrollton, GA

After losing 100 lb through 3 full years of hard work (healthy eating and consistent exercise), I was more than ready to be "done" with the excess skin on my upper arms (when my weight rose, the size of my arms became disproportionately large). The worst part was sleeping on my back for weeks, but I survived that. But worth it? Oh yes, it was worth it. I feel like a human again and that is fabulous!

33yr Old Stay Home Mommy of 2 - Carrollton, GA

I was very depressed over the body I was left with after 2 children. The stress that came from my second being hospitalized at 4wks old then special needs from that moment on has left depression a constant battle and daily struggle. Not being able to go back to work, go out for play dates as I did with my first and not able to join the gym back. All hope of being happy with me again was lost. My husband asked me if I could fix one thing I'm unhappy with that would help overcome every other issue what would that be? I said breast implants! So he made that happen for me! I must admit we never expected so much down time! I have always sprung back from procedures but this one has been my biggest challenge! I'm not the relax lay around type! I never sit down and don't lay down till bed time. So I would say the hardest part is the recovery for me! I normally keep busy all day! Plus as mom my daughter requires me for everything from feeding her to diapers to carrying her from room to room (since she doesn't walk). It's been a struggle. I'm haveing to find other ways of doing things. Plus relying on my husband a lot more then ever! I do feel once everything goes into place I will be very pleased and have that sense of being a "woman"again"! I have the best PS possible for me! I have also found a wonderful friend on this page! Thank you for everything! I still need you guys to get the rest of the way through this!

Mini Tummy Tuck Followed with a Breast Reduction - Carrollton, GA

I had a mini tummy tuck on may 9, 2012. My weight is stable and I'm 5'7 and weigh around 170. My body fat percentage is around 21% though so I'm fairly athletic. I have always had a "pooch" and very large breasts no matter how much I diet or work out. When I went for my breast reduction consultation I asked about lipo for upper and lower abs and flanks. I had no idea the dr would recommend a mini tummy tuck because I didn't realize how much was just skin. I am 26 years old and have never had children. In 2 weeks I'll return to the same dr for my breast reduction. I'm only 2 days post op so it's hard to tell what the results will be. Pain has been moderate but I've never had surgery or anything to compare it to. Bruising is pretty intense because I had 5,000 ccs liposuctioned (ouch!) and I have 2 drains.Updated on 17 May 2012:So I'm 1 week post op and doing great. Down to one drain which should come out next week. Not really hurting but my stomach just feels strange. The doctor said it's just the nerve endings reacting to surgery but my it's super sensitive. Still very swollen and bruised. The only issue I've had is my compression garment gave me a rash that itches like crazy! Next week I'll do another follow up and they should take out the last drain and the same day I'll do my pre op for breast reduction. I know I'll be happy in the end but I sometimes wonder what I've gotten myself into because this is so overwhelming and a lot to do at once.Updated on 25 May 2012:Yesterday I had my breast reduction. Thankfully this dr doesn't use drains because when I had the one pulled from my stomach it was very painful. Today I saw them for the first time and even though they look crazy and bruised they actually look much better than I was anticipating. He also did lipo up under my arm pits so that's where the worst of the bruising is. I can't remember how many grams he took out from each side but I think it was like 700 out of the left and 600 out of the right. He said the total between breast tissue and under my arms was something like 5lbs total. I'm just pretty out of it because of all the pain meds. Even though I'm sore but my neck and back already feel lighter and I want to jump around! :)Updated on 25 May 2012:Guess I should say what size I am. Lol. I went from a 36DD (the dr thought I was a size bigger) to what should be a small C cup.Updated on 27 May 2012:Today is a bad day. I'm sore and stir crazy. I question I did too much at once and I just can't stop wondering if I made the right choice. I know it's only been a few weeks and I still have a lot of healing to go but it seems like I'll feel like this forever and never be active again. The doctor said this is all normal because I pretty much had a body makeover and I can already tell my shape is totally different. I just have to keep the bigger picture in mind.

Yes! Do It! - Carrollton, GA

After many years of consideration and pondering, it came to the point where I had to have SOMETHING done to help my back and neck. I had massive boobage and it needed to get fixed. I opted (with input from my husband) for a breast reduction and pursued it with my insurance company. I was approved in a heartbeat. I found a fantastic plastic surgeon in Carrollton, GA. He did a magnificent *job.* He removed 7 pounds of mass to give my a lovely shapely uplifted "D" size. He is as gentle and dedicated to the art physician as you will find here in West GA. Probably in any part of GA and east AL. Girls, I haven't been this perky since I was 12 and we are loving it. My back loves it, my neck loves it (sat straight up for the first time in a thousand years when I woke up from the anesthesia) and I have that shapely girly form I have always wanted. I look fantastic and he is brilliant. I can now buy and wear frilly bras, multi-colored bras, and girly shirts. My big breasted sisters know what I'm talking about here - having to buy only men's shirts. I feel feminine and I feel like a real girl even at 48. If you feel the need and can do it - DO IT!!! Your life only gets better.

Would highly not recommend

Doctor Kahler did my breast reduction in 2016, my areolas immediately stretched out and were really large. A few years later, he did an areola reduction surgery on me. The scars immediately stretched back (every doctor I have seen is not sure why he didn't use a permanent suture on them) and the scars around my areolas were really uneven. I've been dealing with issues with my breasts since the moment I walked out of breast reduction surgery in 2016. I would just avoid him altogether. Also, you always have to sit in the waiting room for at least an hour to be seen.
