Dr. Castillo is a God Among Plastic Surgeons
WORTH IT
I can never say enough good things about Dr. Castillo. We consider him our family plastic surgeon. He has performed surgeries for me, my husband, and my daughter and I recommend him to everyone. There is a reason he has so many 5-star reviews. His artistry and skill are unmatched, as are his personality, bedside manner, and attention to his patients. He has impeccable follow-up - you will hear from him personally every day for quite a while after surgery. He seems genuinely interested in his patients aside from their surgery.
My second surgery with Dr. Castillo was a tummy tuck revision in October 2025. My previous tummy tuck from 2000 was... not good. The most noticeable part of the previous tummy tuck was that my belly button was flat and only discernible by an oversized "cookie cutter" scar around the area where a belly button would be - in my bikini days people would ask why I did not have a belly button. Although my belly button later did get some indentation from my hysterectomy, the oversized scar was always a source of distress. Consultations with two other surgeons (before I met Dr. Castillo) advised that the outer scar could be reduced, but it would still be noticeable and that the surgery would result in a "lollipop" scar, meaning I would have an additional noticeable, vertical scar. Dr. Castillo revised the original tummy tuck perfectly, including somehow fixing the belly button without needing the vertical scar - in fact there is now no visible scar outside the belly button at all - it just looks like a belly button. Not only that, but I never regained complete feeling after the first tummy tuck. I was numb in that area for years and only ever regained partial feeling. I don't pretend to understand the mechanics of it, but I now have normal feeling in that area. Dog ears and odd indentations and pulled areas from the original tummy tuck are gone and he also elevated the mons area, which had begun to droop. I'm so happy with my results and know that whatever my next surgery is, it will be with Dr. Castillo.
