As an Emory, Harvard, and University of Pittsburgh-trained, ASPS board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Castillo provides Mommy Makeovers for women looking to restore their bodies after childbirth. By considering each woman’s unique figure, Dr. Castillo tailors breast and abdominal procedures to help women look fit and feel confident

Breast Surgery

The breast conveys an important sense of a woman’s femininity. Breast augmentation surgery allows a woman to obtain a more youthful breast shape and contour, while creating a more proportionate body silhouette. As one of the most common cosmetic procedures, breast augmentation is ideal for women who desire fuller breasts, wish to replace volume lost from breast-feeding or weight-loss, or wish to correct an inherent asymmetry. Dr. Castillo’s goal is to give his patients the most attractive and natural-looking results, customizing a surgical plan that maximizes each patient’s figure.

Outstanding Experience and Results

Excellent experience from the procedure to the results. I had my 20 year old breast implants exchanged for new ones. Similar size 340cc silicone. My recovery was very smooth and Dr Castillo revised my scars and they look much better

Life Changing

There is a reason for all of these 5 star reviews! I have lost over 100 pounds and was looking to do a lower body lift which includes a tummy tuck, butt lift and liposuction. From my very first meeting with Dr. Nelson, he made me feel totally comfortable. He answered all questions and made not just myself but my husband (and even my mother) feel comfortable with moving forward with such a serious surgery (body lift). He even followed up with me over the weekend after the first initial consultation. I had another consultation with another plastic surgeon and knew from the very first consultation with Dr. Castillo that I would be moving forward with him. We scheduled for about 4 months out and he kept in contact with me over that time to help nerves and ask any lingering questions I had. Fast forward to my pre-op appointment, I came in and got marked up for surgery. He walked me through what would take place during surgery, where to go, and what I needed to do whenever I arrived for my surgery. Surgery day arrived and I got all checked in and ready. He met me and touched up any marks that may have faded over night and went back over what we were about to do, making sure that I was 100% sure of what I was about to do. The man is incredibly thorough. You know any possible complications and he makes sure that you’re comfortable in some moments that could be uncomfortable. Fast forward to waking up from surgery. His face was the first I saw and that level of care followed. He immediately walked me through everything. I saw him several times before I left the surgery center. My surgery required an over night stay and he made sure that I had whatever I needed to be comfortable while there. When I arrived home we stayed in pretty constant contact whether with myself or my husband. He made sure my husband knew everything I needed and what to look out for. We are now 6 months out and Dr. Castillo has completely changed my life and given me my confidence back. I cannot sing his praises loud enough. I am so incredibly happy with my results. Book the consultation and allow him to change your life for the better too!

Dr Castillo is AMAZING!!!

I got a tummy tuck and a breast lift with implants from Dr Nelson Castillo. I am beyond happy with the results! He gives you all the time you need to answer your questions and explains everything so well. All of the staff there is super nice and makes you feel very comfortable.

Your Go to Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

Dr Castillo is a go-to for a breast implant revision or breast lift with implants. He creates amazing results and takes you along the journey with care. He was incredibly attentive at all times, detailed oriented, and thorough. Having a doctor who educates you on the procedure and outcomes is incredibly important and he does just that. He keeps you up to date with progress, healing, and of course the status of your appearance changing. The results could not have been better in general, and especially with where I was starting from. The aesthetics look amazing (symmetry, size, feel,nipple placement, lift, etc.)!! I was dealing with capsular contracture in L breast and a ruptured implant in R breast and you can’t even tell in the final outcome. Could not be more pleased from an aesthetic standpoint and patient care standpoint.

Excellent Results with Dr. Nelson Castillo

I had a breast implant and lift with Dr. Nelson Castillo, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. From the consultation to recovery, he was professional, attentive, and very thorough in explaining the process and setting realistic expectations. His staff was supportive and kind throughout the entire experience. The results look natural and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Castillo to anyone considering plastic surgery.

I Could Not Be Happier!!

Literally nothing could have been better. Dr Castillo is absolutely wonderful to work with and he can perform miracles with a scalpel!! I could not be happier. He was there for all of the questions before and after surgery. He responds very quickly and I’m convinced he has an answer for everything. Very very grateful!!

Amazing Result

If I could give greater than 5 stars I would! From start to finish Dr. Castillo was absolutely amazing! To say he exceeded my expectations would be an understatement! He did a phenomenal job! After breastfeeding for a total of 6 years between 3 babies, and having deflated, tuberous breasts, I am a new woman! I had a lift and augmentation and I could not be happier with my results. The patient care I received from consultation to post op and beyond was amazing and honestly it’s the kind of care you don’t hear of much, he really cares about his patients, he’s available, an expert in his field, and ready to help and answer questions. Would highly recommend him! Will be going back for a different procedure next year.

Amazing Experience

Best Botox I’ve ever had. I’ve had filler before, but never with a cannula, and the placement was incredibly smooth and natural. Dr. Castillo took the time to really listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and checked in on me afterward, which I truly appreciated. The results are refreshed, balanced, and never overdone. Highly recommend.

Best Plastic Surgeon for Mommy Makeover

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.

So Happy with the Results! They Look Amazing!

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.
