Why Plastic Surgery Pricing Varies And Why Results Matter More Than Price
Why is plastic surgery expensive? Plastic surgery costs reflect surgeon expertise, accredited surgical facilities, anesthesia providers, advanced surgical equipment, strict patient screening, and comprehensive post-operative care. These factors help protect patient safety, reduce complications, and produce long-lasting aesthetic results.
One of the most common questions patients ask is simple:
“Why does plastic surgery cost so much more at some practices than others?”
It’s a fair question — and an important one.
Plastic surgery is not a standardized product. Two surgeons may offer the same procedure name, but what happens behind the scenes — and the results you receive — can be dramatically different.
This guide explains why plastic surgery prices vary, what factors truly influence cost, and why choosing results, safety, and experience over price is one of the most important decisions you can make.
Why There Is No Standard Price for Plastic Surgery
Unlike many medical services, plastic surgery is highly individualized.
Pricing can vary based on several important factors, including:
Surgeon training and experience
Facility accreditation and standards
Anesthesia providers
Surgical technique
Length and complexity of surgery
Post-operative care and follow-up
That is one of the main reasons plastic surgery prices vary so much from one practice to another.
A lower price does not automatically mean better value — and a higher price is rarely arbitrary.
What You’re Really Paying For
When you receive a surgical quote, you are not paying for a single event.
You are paying for an entire system of care that includes:
Pre-operative evaluation and surgical planning
Surgeon expertise and clinical judgment
Operating room time
Board-certified anesthesia providers
Specialized surgical staff
Advanced surgical equipment and safety systems
Recovery monitoring
Post-operative care and follow-up visits
Each of these components contributes directly to both safety and final results.
Why Some Plastic Surgery Practices Charge Less
Some practices are able to offer significantly lower prices because they operate with lower overhead.
This may include:
Non-accredited facilities
Limited anesthesia support
Smaller or less experienced surgical teams
Minimal post-operative monitoring
High-volume scheduling with multiple surgeries per day
Lower overhead can reduce costs — but it can also increase risk.
The Hidden Cost of Inexperience
Revision surgery is often far more complex than the original procedure.
Patients who choose surgery primarily based on price often underestimate the true cost of complications or unsatisfactory results.
Revision surgery can involve:
Additional surgical fees
More recovery time
Emotional stress and disappointment
Lost time from work and family
Choosing the right surgeon the first time often prevents these outcomes.
Why Experienced Plastic Surgeons Charge More
Higher surgical fees often reflect years — sometimes decades — of experience and specialized training.
Premium pricing may reflect:
Extensive surgical training
High procedural volume and expertise
Advanced surgical techniques
Consistent and reproducible results
Lower complication rates
Comprehensive patient support
Experience reduces uncertainty — and in surgery, uncertainty is risk.
What You’re Paying For at Dr. Curves
Patients who choose Dr. Curves are investing in a comprehensive surgical experience that includes:
Over 20 years of surgical experience
Board certification in plastic surgery
A high-volume specialty practice
An accredited surgical facility
Board-certified anesthesia providers
A highly trained surgical team
Advanced safety protocols
Long-term patient support and follow-up care
This level of care requires significant expertise, staffing, and infrastructure — and it cannot be replicated at discount pricing.
Why Cheap and Excellent Rarely Coexist in Surgery
In many areas of life, price differences reflect differences in quality.
Plastic surgery is no exception.
This is not about luxury.
It is about:
Skill
Precision
Judgment
Safety
Long-term results
You only get one body.
Results vs Price: The Long-Term View
A well-performed surgery usually means:
One procedure
One recovery
One investment
Long-lasting results
A poorly performed surgery can lead to:
Multiple procedures
Extended recovery periods
Higher overall cost
Long-term dissatisfaction
When viewed over time, choosing experience often becomes the most cost-effective decision.
Financing Makes High-Quality Care More Accessible
Financing does not reduce the value of surgery.
It allows patients to prioritize quality, safety, and long-term results without feeling forced to compromise based on timing alone.
Many patients prefer financing because it allows them to:
Choose the right surgeon
Avoid compromising on safety
Spread payments over time
Move forward when the timing is right

So, What’s the Next Step?
It all starts with a consultation. Whether you’re thinking about implants, fat transfer, a lift—or just have questions—we’re here to guide you through it all. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet. We’ll help you decide what works for your body and your goals.
A guide from Dr. Andrew Jimerson II (aka Dr. Curves)
One of the questions I hear most often from mothers is, “When is the right time to get a Mommy Makeover?” And I get it, timing matters. Not just for safety, but for comfort, recovery, and long-term results.
After helping thousands of women restore their bodies post-pregnancy, let me walk you through exactly how I guide my own patients in deciding the best moment to move forward. No pressure. No judgment. Just real, experience-based clarity so you can make the decision when it feels right for you.
The Truth: There Is No One Perfect Timeline — But There Are Ideal Conditions
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures designed to restore your breasts, abdomen, curves, and confidence after pregnancy. Because every woman’s journey is unique, your timing should honor your body, your lifestyle, and your emotional readiness.
But here’s the truth I tell every patient:
Your results will be better and last longer when certain conditions line up.
Let’s break those down.
Your Body Has Recovered From Pregnancy (Inside and Out)
Pregnancy is transformative — physically, hormonally, and emotionally. Before you consider surgery, your body needs time to stabilize.
Here’s what I typically recommend:
At least 6 months after childbirth
At least 6 months after breastfeeding
After postpartum swelling has resolved
After your hormones have balanced
Why? Because your tissues, skin elasticity, and breast volume all shift dramatically during this period. Once things settle, I can design a surgical plan that fits your true, long-term shape.
You’re Done Having Children (or Done for Now)
This one isn’t a hard rule — but it is an important conversation.
Future pregnancies can:
Stretch abdominal repairs
Alter breast shape and volume
Impact the longevity of your results
If you’re planning more children soon, I often recommend waiting. But if your family plans are farther out — or you’re unsure — we can still create a plan that fits your goals without compromising safety.
The key is transparency. The more I know, the better I can tailor your results.
You Have the Support You Need for Recovery
A Mommy Makeover isn’t a small procedure. For most women, it includes some combination of:
Breast lift
Breast augmentation
Tummy tuck
Liposuction
Muscle repair
Because of that, recovery requires:
Someone to help with children
Time away from lifting, driving, housework
A calm environment
The ability to prioritize healing
I always tell patients: You are not being selfish by needing support — you’re being smart.
Your healing is just as important as the procedure itself.
You’re Doing This for You, Not for Pressure or Comparison
This is the emotional piece we talked about in the last blog and it matters here too.
You are ready for a Mommy Makeover when:
You’ve wanted this for yourself
You feel excited about the transformation
You understand the recovery and the commitment
You’re mentally and emotionally grounded
You’re not rushing the process
Women who choose surgery from a place of clarity and self-love always have the most meaningful, satisfying outcomes.

2020 Mommy Makeover Testimonial
You’re Frustrated With Changes That No Longer Adjust With Lifestyle
Here’s a simple truth: Diet and exercise can do many beautiful things — but they cannot:
Lift sagging breasts
Tighten stretched skin
Repair separated abdominal muscles
Restore volume or shape lost through pregnancy
Remove stubborn fat in genetically resistant areas
When these concerns affect your confidence or comfort, and lifestyle changes are no longer enough, a Mommy Makeover becomes more than cosmetic — it becomes restorative.
You Feel Ready to Reclaim Your Body and Your Confidence
This is the moment I see in my consultation room all the time.
A woman sits down, takes a deep breath, and says:
“I love being a mother. But I’m ready to feel like myself again.”
That moment — that awareness, that readiness — matters more than any timeline on paper.
So, What’s the Next Step?
It all starts with a consultation. Whether you’re thinking about implants, fat transfer, a lift—or just have questions—we’re here to guide you through it all. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet. We’ll help you decide what works for your body and your goals.
Kold Killa’s Pre-Op Consultation: Clarity, Confidence, and Planning
By Dr. Andrew Jimerson (Dr. Curves)
When Kold Killa came in, her energy said it all. She was excited, ready, and very clear about what she wanted.
She’s a mom of two, and like many women after kids, she felt her body didn’t look the way it used to — and it didn’t feel like her anymore. She said it plainly: she wanted her stomach in, her hips out, and everything lifted back where it belongs.
What She Wanted to Fix
Her breasts felt heavy and low. She didn’t want to be oversized — she wanted them lifted, perky, and proportional, aiming for a natural C cup with cleavage.
Her stomach also bothered her, and even though she had a BBL in 2019, she still felt her shape lacked balance. She didn’t want to look square — she wanted hips and an evenly proportioned silhouette.
The Surgical Plan We Built
After evaluating her body and listening closely, we created a plan focused on balance, not exaggeration:
Breast reduction
Lipo 360
Fat grafting to the butt & hips
This is why full 360-degree contouring matters: it creates a smoother, more natural result from every angle — not just the front.
Safety Comes First
Every surgery carries risks, including pain, bleeding, infection, and in rare cases, more serious complications. We also discussed fat-related risks and how modern techniques place fat in the subcutaneous layer, not into the muscle, which improves safety. Healing varies, and scarring or numbness is possible.
Patients deserve honesty, clarity, and a plan that makes sense.
Why This Behind-the-Scenes Matters
This wasn’t about chasing extremes. It was about listening, creating balance, and helping a patient feel confident in her body again after kids. That’s always the goal.
Take the Next Step Toward Feeling Like Yourself Again
If this story feels familiar, a consultation is where it starts. We’ll review your goals, medical history, and concerns, then design a personalized plan focused on safe, natural results that fit your body and your life.
How to Tell the Difference Between Diastasis Recti and Belly Fat
One of the most common questions women ask me after pregnancy is, “Why does my stomach still look round even though I’ve lost the weight?” Many assume they’re dealing with stubborn belly fat, only to discover that the issue is actually something else — diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles that can mimic the appearance of fat but behaves very differently.
Understanding the difference is important not just for cosmetic reasons, but for your comfort, posture, strength, and long-term well-being. Let’s walk through how to distinguish one from the other — in clear, patient-friendly language — and what your options are if you’re struggling with a postpartum belly that doesn’t feel like yours anymore.
Why These Two Issues Get Confused So Often
After pregnancy, weight changes, stretched skin, and hormonal shifts can all affect the abdomen. This makes it easy for diastasis recti to be mistaken for excess fat. Both can create:
A belly bulge
A rounded appearance
Difficulty engaging the core
A feeling that “nothing is working” despite diet and exercise
But beneath the surface, they are entirely different conditions.
What Belly Fat Feels and Looks Like
Traditional abdominal fat behaves predictably:
It feels soft or squishy to the touch
It responds to calorie deficit, exercise, and overall weight loss
It’s evenly distributed across the stomach area
It often accompanies fat in other areas (hips, thighs, back)
If you change your diet, increase your activity level, or lose weight overall, you will typically see a reduction in belly fat right along with it.
When a patient tells me, “My arms and legs are lean, but my stomach still looks the same,” that’s often my first clue that fat isn’t the issue.
What Diastasis Recti Feels and Looks Like
Diastasis recti has a very distinct presentation, even though it can resemble fat on the surface.
Common signs include:
A vertical bulge or “ridge” down the midline
A belly that still looks pregnant months or years postpartum
A dome shape when sitting up or crunching
A sensation of weakness or instability in the core
Difficulty flattening the stomach even at a healthy body weight
This happens because the two sides of the abdominal muscles have separated, leaving weakened connective tissue in between. When the muscles aren’t working together, the stomach can protrude forward — even when there’s very little fat present.
Many women tell me, “I can feel the separation with my fingers,” or “My stomach collapses inward when I press on it.” These are classic signs of muscle separation, not fat.
Is 70 Too Old for Plastic Surgery? The Truth 💡
One of the most common questions we hear: “Am I too old for surgery?”
Here’s the truth: age isn’t the dealbreaker — health is.
If you’re medically cleared, your body can handle procedures like a tummy tuck or Lipo 360 safely. In fact, many patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond experience life-changing results because they finally choose themselves.
Confidence doesn’t expire
Transformation has no age limit
It’s never too late to feel amazing
Life After Surgery: Confidence Reborn
Three months post-op, our patient isn’t just enjoying her results — she’s living differently:
No more hiding in oversized clothes.
No more tugging at her waistline.
No more wishing her reflection was different.
Instead, she’s embracing style, freedom, and joy every single day.
This isn’t just a body transformation. It’s a lifestyle shift.
So, What’s the Next Step?
It all starts with a consultation. Whether you’re thinking about implants, fat transfer, a lift—or just have questions—we’re here to guide you through it all. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet. We’ll help you decide what works for your body and your goals.
hCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone that your body produces naturally. This hormone is technically a prohormone, which means the body uses it to make a variety of other hormones as they are needed.
Some people may recognize the term hCG from when they, or a loved one, were pregnant. This is because a pregnant woman produces significantly more of this hormone than at any other time in life. The hCG helps to create the ‘building blocks’ required for the other hormones required by the mother, and the developing child. hCG has also been shown to help increase the amount of fat that is circulating through the body, which allows both the mother and the child to have access to the calories they require.
Types of hCG
Scientists have been able to develop several different forms of hCG over the years. These advancements have made it possible to get hCG as an injection, an oral supplement or even a spray. The most efficient and effective option is through injections as it allows the body to quickly absorb the hormone directly. The other options require that the hCG go through the entire digestive process, which breaks down the majority of the hormone before it can be used by the body.
How hCG Works
The hCG is an essential component of our diet program because it is what makes it possible to lose weight quickly, without sacrificing your muscle tissue. During the initial stages of the diet you will be following a very low calorie diet, which will force your body to drop weight fast. In a normal diet, this would cause you to lose muscle mass in almost equal amounts to fat, which is very unhealthy.
The hCG injections that we provide, however, allow your body to create the hormones that are necessary to protect your muscles throughout this stage. To put it simply, it puts your body into a mode where it is almost exclusively using the fat that it has available as energy.
Maintaining your body’s healthy lean muscles is the most important benefit that you will get from the hCG injections, but it is certainly not the only one. Another major advantage of hCG injections is that it also helps to decrease your hunger, which makes it much easier to stick to the strict diet throughout the first stage. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is for them to stick to the very low calorie diet without feeling hungry.
One last way the hCG injections will help is by encouraging your body to release the stores of fat that it has been holding on to. This ‘stubborn body fat’ that many people really have a hard time getting rid of will seem to just melt away. The reason this happens brings us back to the fact that hCG is produced in high amounts during pregnancy. When there is insufficient food available, a pregnant mother’s body will use up virtually every bit of fat to help keep the baby healthy. This is made possible by the elevated hCG levels, and the hCG injections will allow your body to burn through fat in the same way.
The Benefits of hCG
Whenever introducing anything into your body it is important to know what is going to happen. When you put something unnatural in, for example, you will likely have a variety of negative side effects. That is why hCG is the ideal option for weight loss. Unlike many artificial or synthetic products on the market today, hCG is something your body will make anyway, and it will actually have very beneficial results.
This is not an artificial appetite suppressant, which are often linked to heart problems and often cause rapid weight gain as soon as you stop taking them. The hCG, on the other hand, reduces hunger naturally by giving your body the ability to create the hormones it needs to maintain an anabolic state. To put it simply, it helps your body to continue to operate normally, even while burning a significant amount of fat.
Another great benefit of this diet is that it gives you the ability to ‘reset’ your pallet. During the second phase, you will be consuming very little sugar and processed carbohydrates. After the first and second phases, you will likely have few, if any, cravings for these unnatural and unhealthy foods. Giving these things up is normally very difficult, but since your body has the hCG available, it will be much easier.
Finally, the hCG allows your body to release the stored fat much more easily so you can get the energy you need, while dropping the weight fast. The fat stores will give you everything you need to maintain healthy energy levels, have a clear head and feel great even though you are only taking in about 500 calories per day in food.
Our Custom hCG Protocol
Our weight loss program is broken into four stages, each of which use the hCG to help maximize results while making it as comfortable as possible.
Phase 1 – The first stage lasts just 48 hours, and starts off with the hCG injections. During this initial 48 hours you will enjoy a high calorie diet, which will give your body what it needs to stay strong and comfortable throughout the next three phases.
Phase 2 – This is where you begin the very low calorie portion of the program. You will continue to take your daily hCG injections while also eating two small meals and two snacks each day. The food will be chosen from a list of acceptable options. While it may sound hard to believe, you won’t likely feel hungry at this stage. You may even be tempted to skip some of the allowed foods, but it is important to eat all the mails and snacks, even if you’re not hungry. The second stage typically lasts 30-40 days, depending on your specific needs.
Phase 3 – At this stage you will increase the amount of calories you consume to around 1200 per day, and you’ll also have a larger variety of food options to choose from. This stage is primarily to maintain weight, not to lose.
After phase three is completed you will either move back to phase two if you have more weight to lose, or you would transition to phase four.
Phase 4 – This is the long term maintenance phase. You will learn to make healthy lifestyle choices concerning diet and exercise. This phase will continue the rest of your life, allowing you to maintain a healthy weight.
Expected Results
If you follow the weight loss plan you can expect to lose between 15 and 30 pounds within about 30 days. Remember, this program is not designed for those who just need to lose a small amount of weight. If you have a moderate to large amount of excess fat, however, we can help to create a custom plan based on our hCG protocol to help you reach your goals quickly and with almost no discomfort. Perhaps most importantly, we can also help you to maintain a healthy weight long after you have completed the program.
To schedule a free consultation and learn more about how hCG can help you, please call 678-205-8400.
Metabolic Testing
One of the biggest problems people who are trying to lose weight face is maintaining their lean muscle mass. As they cut calories, their body burns muscle as well as the fat. While this does allow you to shed pounds of fat, it also makes it more likely that you will regain them in the future. To overcome this problem, our weight loss program starts by performing detailed metabolic testing, and learning your precise metabolic rate. This will allow us to customize your plan so you can maximize the fat burning, while minimizing any muscle loss.
What we will learn About Your Metabolism
Is your metabolism fast or slow
How many calories can you consume each day to maintain your current weight
What your body requires to help develop healthy energy levels
Measuring your metabolic rate takes about ten minutes in our office. Once we have the results, we will calculate how many calories you should be eating, and what types of foods and supplements those calories should come from. We’ll also provide you with an easy to understand guide to help you use your metabolism to lose weight.
Important Factors on Metabolic Rate
The following are the key factors that can increase your resting metabolic rate (RMR):
Increase muscle mass
Frequent exercise
Hyperactive thyroid
Heightened physical or emotional stress, which releases the epinephrine hormone
Fever
Extreme ambient temperatures
Pregnancy
Growth Spurts (for children and adolescence)
Increased protein intake
Exercising shortly after eating
Caffeine (short term effect, and typically not recommended for sustained weight loss)
Nicotine (short term effect, and not recommended for sustained weight loss)
Body composition (higher levels of body fat leads to a slower metabolism)
Menstrual cycle

B12 Shots Now Available Bi-Weekly!
Many of our patients love the Vitamin B12 shots, which have long been restricted to one per month. After an evaluation of the shots and reviewing recent studies on the matter, we are now making these shots available every 14 days. The dosage in each shot is the same as ever!
Recipients of B12 Shots Report:
Increased Energy
Improved Sleep Quality
Decrease in Headaches and Allergy Attacks
What to Expect?
If you’ve never had a Vitamin B12 injection before, you may be wondering what you can expect. Most people find that within a day or two of getting the injection, they have a noticeable increase in their overall energy and stamina. In addition, they often discover that they are able to sleep more soundly, suffer from fewer problems with allergies and even have lower levels of stress and anxiety. Patients who have struggled with depression and headaches also report marked improvements in these areas.
The reason Vitamin B12 injections are so effective is because this is one vitamin that is very poorly absorbed through food alone, so even those who have plenty of it in their diet are likely still operating at a deficiency.
Important Facts about Vitamin B12
It becomes more difficult for the body to absorb Vitamin B12 as we get older.
85% of people have a B12 deficiency.
B12 cannot be absorbed without a substance in the stomach known as ‘intrinsic factor’. The production of intrinsic factor drops with age, and The American College of Physicians states that intrinsic factor is almost completely absent in those over the age of 70.
Vitamin B12 shots should be taken at regular intervals to get the best results.
Those with chronic fatigue or anemia can benefit from regular B12 shots since oral supplements are poorly absorbed.
Some people experience minor redness or swelling at the injection site. This typically resolves itself within 48 hours.
Anyone with chronic liver and/or kidney problems should not receive regular B12 injections

hCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone that your body produces naturally. This hormone is technically a prohormone, which means the body uses it to make a variety of other hormones as they are needed.
Some people may recognize the term hCG from when they, or a loved one, were pregnant. This is because a pregnant woman produces significantly more of this hormone than at any other time in life. The hCG helps to create the ‘building blocks’ required for the other hormones required by the mother, and the developing child. hCG has also been shown to help increase the amount of fat that is circulating through the body, which allows both the mother and the child to have access to the calories they require.
Types of hCG
Scientists have been able to develop several different forms of hCG over the years. These advancements have made it possible to get hCG as an injection, an oral supplement or even a spray. The most efficient and effective option is through injections as it allows the body to quickly absorb the hormone directly. The other options require that the hCG go through the entire digestive process, which breaks down the majority of the hormone before it can be used by the body.
How hCG Works
The hCG is an essential component of our diet program because it is what makes it possible to lose weight quickly, without sacrificing your muscle tissue. During the initial stages of the diet you will be following a very low calorie diet, which will force your body to drop weight fast. In a normal diet, this would cause you to lose muscle mass in almost equal amounts to fat, which is very unhealthy.
The hCG injections that we provide, however, allow your body to create the hormones that are necessary to protect your muscles throughout this stage. To put it simply, it puts your body into a mode where it is almost exclusively using the fat that it has available as energy.
Maintaining your body’s healthy lean muscles is the most important benefit that you will get from the hCG injections, but it is certainly not the only one. Another major advantage of hCG injections is that it also helps to decrease your hunger, which makes it much easier to stick to the strict diet throughout the first stage. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is for them to stick to the very low calorie diet without feeling hungry.
One last way the hCG injections will help is by encouraging your body to release the stores of fat that it has been holding on to. This ‘stubborn body fat’ that many people really have a hard time getting rid of will seem to just melt away. The reason this happens brings us back to the fact that hCG is produced in high amounts during pregnancy. When there is insufficient food available, a pregnant mother’s body will use up virtually every bit of fat to help keep the baby healthy. This is made possible by the elevated hCG levels, and the hCG injections will allow your body to burn through fat in the same way.
The Benefits of hCG
Whenever introducing anything into your body it is important to know what is going to happen. When you put something unnatural in, for example, you will likely have a variety of negative side effects. That is why hCG is the ideal option for weight loss. Unlike many artificial or synthetic products on the market today, hCG is something your body will make anyway, and it will actually have very beneficial results.
This is not an artificial appetite suppressant, which are often linked to heart problems and often cause rapid weight gain as soon as you stop taking them. The hCG, on the other hand, reduces hunger naturally by giving your body the ability to create the hormones it needs to maintain an anabolic state. To put it simply, it helps your body to continue to operate normally, even while burning a significant amount of fat.
Another great benefit of this diet is that it gives you the ability to ‘reset’ your pallet. During the second phase, you will be consuming very little sugar and processed carbohydrates. After the first and second phases, you will likely have few, if any, cravings for these unnatural and unhealthy foods. Giving these things up is normally very difficult, but since your body has the hCG available, it will be much easier.
Finally, the hCG allows your body to release the stored fat much more easily so you can get the energy you need, while dropping the weight fast. The fat stores will give you everything you need to maintain healthy energy levels, have a clear head and feel great even though you are only taking in about 500 calories per day in food.
Our Custom hCG Protocol
Our weight loss program is broken into four stages, each of which use the hCG to help maximize results while making it as comfortable as possible.
Phase 1 – The first stage lasts just 48 hours, and starts off with the hCG injections. During this initial 48 hours you will enjoy a high calorie diet, which will give your body what it needs to stay strong and comfortable throughout the next three phases.
Phase 2 – This is where you begin the very low calorie portion of the program. You will continue to take your daily hCG injections while also eating two small meals and two snacks each day. The food will be chosen from a list of acceptable options. While it may sound hard to believe, you won’t likely feel hungry at this stage. You may even be tempted to skip some of the allowed foods, but it is important to eat all the mails and snacks, even if you’re not hungry. The second stage typically lasts 30-40 days, depending on your specific needs.
Phase 3 – At this stage you will increase the amount of calories you consume to around 1200 per day, and you’ll also have a larger variety of food options to choose from. This stage is primarily to maintain weight, not to lose.
After phase three is completed you will either move back to phase two if you have more weight to lose, or you would transition to phase four.
Phase 4 – This is the long term maintenance phase. You will learn to make healthy lifestyle choices concerning diet and exercise. This phase will continue the rest of your life, allowing you to maintain a healthy weight.
Expected Results
If you follow the weight loss plan you can expect to lose between 15 and 30 pounds within about 30 days. Remember, this program is not designed for those who just need to lose a small amount of weight. If you have a moderate to large amount of excess fat, however, we can help to create a custom plan based on our hCG protocol to help you reach your goals quickly and with almost no discomfort. Perhaps most importantly, we can also help you to maintain a healthy weight long after you have completed the program.

Metabolic Testing
One of the biggest problems people who are trying to lose weight face is maintaining their lean muscle mass. As they cut calories, their body burns muscle as well as the fat. While this does allow you to shed pounds of fat, it also makes it more likely that you will regain them in the future. To overcome this problem, our weight loss program starts by performing detailed metabolic testing, and learning your precise metabolic rate. This will allow us to customize your plan so you can maximize the fat burning, while minimizing any muscle loss.
What we will learn About Your Metabolism
Is your metabolism fast or slow
How many calories can you consume each day to maintain your current weight
What your body requires to help develop healthy energy levels
Measuring your metabolic rate takes about ten minutes in our office. Once we have the results, we will calculate how many calories you should be eating, and what types of foods and supplements those calories should come from. We’ll also provide you with an easy to understand guide to help you use your metabolism to lose weight.
Important Factors on Metabolic Rate
The following are the key factors that can increase your resting metabolic rate (RMR):
Increase muscle mass
Frequent exercise
Hyperactive thyroid
Heightened physical or emotional stress, which releases the epinephrine hormone
Fever
Extreme ambient temperatures
Pregnancy
Growth Spurts (for children and adolescence)
Increased protein intake
Exercising shortly after eating
Caffeine (short term effect, and typically not recommended for sustained weight loss)
Nicotine (short term effect, and not recommended for sustained weight loss)
Body composition (higher levels of body fat leads to a slower metabolism)
Menstrual cycle

Body Composition Analysis
In order to lose weight in a healthy, effective and permanent way it is important to learn more about your body than a simple scale can tell you. This is because while your goal is likely to lose fat, that portion of your overall body is almost certainly well under 50%. Knowing about your overall body composition will help to develop a customized plan that will allow you to reduce your fat levels, while maintaining or improving the levels of other key elements of your body.
Questions about Your Body Composition:
What percentage of your body is composed of fat?
What is your ideal body composition?
What changes to your diet and supplements will help achieve that ideal?
When you come into our office for your body composition analysis we will use advanced techniques to learn as much as possible about your body. The results of this simple and painless analysis will help us to customize your weight loss plan so you can drop weight fast, while improving your overall health and energy levels.
Body Composition Factors
The following are key components that make up your bodies overall mass:
Water – This will be the largest portion of your body
Protein – This is mostly in the form of lean muscle
Fat – It is essential to have some fat on your body
Other – Somewhere around 5-7% of your body will be made up of other elements such as calcium, phosphorous, glycogen, potassium, sodium and many other trace elements.
When we understand your precise body composition, we can help you to make adjustments in your diet, exercise and other areas of your life to help increase things like water and protein levels while reducing the overall percentage of fat in your body.

VHD Sculpting of the Female Body with Brazilian Butt Augmentation
One of the biggest issues people face when trying to improve their appearance today is the mistaken belief that the only thing they need to do is remove the excess fat. While this is often an important step, it is just one of many possible steps that typically needs to be taken. If you want to have a truly breathtaking body, you need to have a holistic approach that will produce long lasting results. This is why our VHD sculpting of the female body with Brazilian but augmentation is such a popular option.
When our clients opt for this procedure we will take a close look your body from head to toe, and come up with the right procedure, or set of procedures, to get you the results you’re looking for. When it is done, you will have a strong, sexy, healthy body that you can be proud of. When it comes to the Brazilian butt augmentation procedure, it is important to have a good understanding of what will be done, and how it will help your appearance.
The procedure is typically done at the same time as any other work you are having, so the recovery time is fairly minimal. We’ll start by sculpting an aesthetically pleasing buttocks. The specifics of what this means will vary from person to person. Every one of our Brazilian butt augmentations is customized to the exact desires of the patient. Some women look best with a little bigger butt, and others with something more petite. Prior to the procedure, the doctor will work with you to come up with the perfect approach to get you the look you want.
When the procedure begins, the doctor will begin removing excess fat from the hips, lower back and other areas as needed. This will help to ‘frame’ your butt perfectly. The fat that is removed is then processed and concentrated so that it can be inserted into the muscle of your buttock where it is needed.
Injecting your own fat into the buttock muscle is the best, and most natural, way to give your butt the shape you want. The vast majority of the fat (over 80%) that is injected will remain as living tissue, which means the results of the procedure will last a lifetime.
The doctor will work precisely through an extremely small incision, adding the fat to the exact locations needed to produce a smooth, visually appealing butt.
Once the doctor has completed the procedure, you will be able to go home to recover. The recovery experience is surprisingly easy, and you’ll start to feel better in just a few days. After a week or two any bruising should have faded away and you won’t even be able to see where the incision was located.
When you look at yourself in the mirror you will absolutely love what you see. This procedure produces a sexy looking butt from behind, and an incredible profile that will be turning heads everywhere you go.
If you have any questions about the VHD sculpting of the female body with Brazilian butt augmentation, please don’t hesitate to call our offices and set up a free consultation with the doctor.
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS) – For Women
The VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing (VHDL) procedure was designed specifically for people who are looking to both build up their abs while also getting rid of the unwanted fat in that area. Unlike most other programs, we don’t simply focus our attention on one goal or the other. We take a balanced approach that will give you the beautiful abs that you desire.
Our doctor will work directly with you to come up with a custom plan for the procedure to help ensure you get the results you want. By strategically marking your abs just prior to the procedure, the doctor will be able to perfectly visualize what is happening throughout the procedure, which allows for dramatically more precise results. Once the doctor is done removing the fat and the incisions are closed up, the doctor will begin the process of treating the skin in this area. The results leave you with a tight, form fitting midsection that is incredibly sexy.
After this step has been performed, the doctor will begin focusing on the linea semilunaris and the linea alba. These are the tendons areas in the abs that give the added definition. The doctor will help to strengthen them so you have a well-defined ‘six-pack’ or even an ‘eight-pack’. While building this area the doctor will help ensure you get the rock hard, sexy abs you want while still retaining the feminine qualities you desire.
Throughout the process, the doctor will be working off of your specific desires. Many women want a flat, sexy body that they can be proud of. Others are looking for added definition and strength. The bottom line is, whatever image pops into your mind when thinking about the perfect stomach; that is what the doctor will help you to create.
One of the best things about this procedure is that the doctor will work from just a few tiny incisions. The incisions are typically about 1/8 of an inch in size, which means they will heal with virtually no scaring or marking. These incisions are also strategically placed for rapid healing and minimal scaring.
VHD Liposculpturing with PEC Augmentation via Autologous Fat Transplant (AFT)
The VHD Liposculpturing with PEC augmentation via autologous fat transplant is a great way to get bigger, stronger looking muscles quickly and easily. This is an option hat is especially popular with people who have worked hard to build their muscles through proper diet and weight lifting, but just don’t have the bulk that they desire.
Using this procedure, the doctor will carefully inject fatty tissue directly into the muscles themselves. The fatty tissue is very well received into the muscles, and in most cases about 80% of what is injected remains alive well after the process. In fact, the muscles are one of the best places in the body for this type of transplant because of the great supply of blood.
Some people are worried that injecting fat into the muscles will make them softer, but that is not the case. Since the fat is being inserted into the muscle and not on top of it, you will still have the rock hard look and feel that you want. When someone touches your pecs, they will not be able to tell that you have had the procedure done, other than by the fact that your pecs are significantly larger than they were in the past.
Thanks to the extensive training and experience, the doctor can apply the fatty tissue in the exact spots that need it. This gives you very natural looking results that appear the same as if you had just built up the muscles through natural weight lifting.
If you have any questions about this process, or you want to have a consultation with the doctor to see if you are a good candidate, please contact us today.
The VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing (VHDL) procedure was created for those who are looking to lose their flabby chest, and replace it with strong, solid pecs.
When you come in for your consultation with our staff, we’ll create a custom plan of action designed to help you quickly achieve your goals.
In addition to removing the excess fat, your doctor will use special equipment that will cause palpitations and contractions throughout your pectoral muscles. This will help to quickly build up the bulk in the muscle, and help it to firm up. This will give you the strong body you desire. To really help beef up your appearance, we’ll also help to strategically tighten up the skin in this area to help accentuate the look of your pecs.
Once these initial steps are completed, we will take focused steps to help build the upper area of the pectorals, which will help create additional lift and definition through. The results of this step is having the precise definition that is very sexy and desirable. It will also help build up the appearance of your entire chest for a stronger, more powerful look.
This procedure was developed not only to help you look great, but also to minimize any recovery time that you have to deal with. Our doctor will go in through a tiny cut in each areola to complete the entire process. In most cases, there is no scaring after the procedure so nobody will even be able to tell that it happened. Of course, this will make the results even more impressive to all who see them.
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS)
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS)
specifically for those who need to get rid of unwanted fat around the midsection, while at the same time building up the muscles to get that strong, chiseled look. While the procedure itself is a tried and proven way to get a sexy midsection, it is also customized to each individual patient. As part of the preparation for the procedure, your ABS will be strategically marked to help guide the doctor through the sculpting process. This allows for greater visualization for more precise results.
The doctor can then use our advanced instruments to cause palpitations and contractions of each set of muscles to help quickly build the size and strength. Your doctor will focus on each area of the ABS including the upper, lower and outer muscle groups. Once these steps are completed, the skin around your midsection will be treated to give it a ‘shrink wrapping’ effect, which will give you that perfectly defined look that you want. You can see the results of this procedure in the image below of our before and after patient.
Once these steps are completed, we will begin the ‘finishing touches’ of the procedure. This starts with focusing on the linea semilunaris, which are the tendons on the outer portion of the ABS. These tendons are sculpted and strengthened to give you the strong, athletic look that most people desire. When these tendons are properly sculpted, the doctor will begin the work on the linea alba, which is the naturally occurring depression down the middle of the ABS. This is what really gives the strong, rock hard look.
Finally, the last part of this procedure is the transverse tendinous insertions, which is an advanced technique that has taken years of experience to master. This step helps to build up the ABS,resulting in the elusive ‘eight pack’ ABS that are strong and sexy.
Throughout this process the doctors will be working from just five tiny incisions that are approximately 1/8 of an inch in size. Two are placed low in the groin area, one in the belly button, and then one in the areola of each nipple. Once healed, they are virtually invisible.
G-spot augmentation
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. The effect lasts up to 4 months.
Vaginal Tightening
Some women experience vaginal relaxation which can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and less friction during sex. Vaginal rejuvenation (or vaginal tightening) is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the vaginal opening and tighten the interior muscles.
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Labia Minora Reduction
Large inner vaginal lips, labia minora, can cause pain during sex or when wearing certain underwear. Some people find them aesthetically displeasing as well. The labia minora can be reduced surgically which can lead to a more pleasing appearance as well as greater enjoyment of intercourse.
Lateral Redundant Prepuce Reduction
The prepuce is the skin on both sides of and above the clitoral hood. Sometimes women develop excess skin in this area. Some people find this unsightly and women sometimes find there is less sensation during sex due to decreased friction on the clitoris.
Perineoplasty
The perineum, the muscles and tissue between the vaginal and anal openings can be damaged – most often during childbirth or due to an episiotomy. This can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and decreased friction during sex. Surgical correction repairs the damaged tissue and restores the vaginal opening to its original size. It can also lead to more enjoyment during sex.
Labia Majora Reduction
The outer vaginal lips, labia majora, can become stretched as a result of pregnancy or weight gain. When the weight is lost, the labial skin does not always contract leaving loose or sagging lips.
Labia Majora Augmentation
The outer vaginal lips can lose volume over time leading to wrinkling. There are a number of injectables that can be used to replace this lost volume. We commonly use a patient’s own fat from another area of the body for this purpose.
Labia Majora Convergence
Sometimes the outer lips of the vagina do not come together (converge) above and/or below the vaginal opening. The lips can be pulled together surgically to create a more pleasing appearance.
Many women ask me about liposuction to reduce the fatty bulges above and around the vagina. These fat deposits can be unsightly in underwear, swimwear and when nude. Liposuction can be used to reduce the fat in these areas.
Procedure
The liposuction is performed using tumescent or ultrasound – assisted technique (VASER liposuction). In either case tumescent fluid (a mixture of sterile saline, lidocaine and epinephrine) is injected into the treatment area and then this fluid along with fat is removed using a small cannula. Small incisions are typically placed in the groin. Scarring is minimal due to the small size of the incisions and typically no suturing is required.
G-Spot Enhancement
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. The effect lasts up to 4 months.

Breast Reduction
You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedure, your health history and his preferences.
For the procedure, an incision is made in each breast, so that all excess skin, fat and tissue can be removed. Depending on your particular situation, liposuction may be used to remove additional fatty deposits.
If your breasts are extremely large and the nipple is pointing downward, it may be repositioned to give you the most pleasing appearance. Finally, the incisions are sutured together. A compression garment or surgical support bra will be placed to reduce swelling and help maintain your new shape.
Breast Lift
You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedures, your health history and his preferences.
Dr. Jimerson has several options to use during the breast lift surgery, which will depend on your breast size and shape, the current position of your areola, how much your breast is sagging the quality of your skin.
Options include an incision around the areola; around the areola and then vertically down to the breast crease; and an incision around the areola, down to the breast crease and then horizontally along the breast crease. After the incision is made, the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to enhance the breast contour and firmness. The nipple and areola is repositioned to a natural, more youthful position. If required, Dr. Jimerson will reduce the areolas by excising skin along the perimeter. Finally, excess skin is removed from the breast to make up for the loss of elasticity.
The incisions are then closed, and sutures are placed in layers deep within the breast tissue to provide support. In addition to sutures, Dr. Jimerson may use skin adhesives and surgical tape to close the incision.
Breast Augmentation
You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedures, your health history and his preferences.
In order to ensure that there is minimal visible scarring, Dr. Jimerson has several incision options that he will discuss with you.
All incisions are used to insert the breast implant, regardless of the type used. They include periareolar incision, which is made around the areola.
The inframammary incision is made underneath the breast, in the area where it meets the body. In the transaxillary incision, access for the implant is made underneath the arm, in the armpit area.
There are two options for placing the implant; one is under the pectoral muscle, the other is right behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle. This will depend on the type of implant, your body type, how much increase in size is desired and Dr. Jimerson’s preference.
Once the implants are inserted, the incisions are closed using sutures, surgical tape or surgical glue. You’ll be able to see the results immediately after surgery, but some swelling will be present.
Fat Grafting Procedures
When you come in for a consultation with Dr. Curves you will discuss your exact goals with this procedure. From there, the doctor will make a plan that includes exactly where the fat should be grafted from, and then precisely where it will go to get you the results you desire. On the actual day of the procedure, Dr. Curves will make a small incision in the skin where he harvests the fat. This is typically in the abdomen, under the arm or in the legs.
Once the fat is harvested, it is cleaned and treated to help ensure it can be safely grafted into the buttock. When ready, the doctor will make new incisions, typically just under the buttock. He will inject the fat into and around the muscle, which helps to enlarge the entire area. The results are a larger, rounder and more attractive rear end. Due to the fact that the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery doesn’t take too long and you can enjoy the results for years to come.

Fat Grafting To Hips
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck (Full)
The doctor starts the procedure by making a small incision in your midsection. The exact location of the incision will be based on what is required during the procedure but is often made in the belly button or below the waistline to hide the very little scaring that may take place. The doctor will then carefully suction out excess fat from throughout the midsection, leaving you with a toned, sexy looking tummy.
Depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed, there may be some excess skin which can be either removed or just tightened up. This is done using special instruments that help to effectively ‘shrink wrap’ the skin so your midsection is nice and firm. The incisions will be closed up and within a few hours you can be taken home for your recovery.
Step 1 – Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 – Tighten abdominal muscles above and below the belly button.
Step 4 – Remove excess skin.
Step 5 – Make a hole for belly button.
Step 6 – Close both the belly button and bikini line incisions.
J Tuck (Full)
The J-tuck is a custom procedure developed by Dr. J to help quickly and safely remove excess abdominal skin. This procedure is common after dramatic weight loss as well as pregnancy to help get your midsection looking tight and sexy again.
The J-Tuck procedure focuses primarily on removing excess abdominal skin and toning the muscles up beneath. This is popular after pregnancy or weight loss as a way to get your midsection back to looking the way you want it. The procedure is performed through a fairly small incision, which allows the doctor to shorten and firm up the muscles of the midsection. When necessary, he can also sculpt away any remaining fat.
Once done, he will remove any extra skin that is present, and pull the remaining skin nice and tight over the abdominal muscles. Once completely healed, you will have a firm, tight tummy that looks great. The results of this procedure can last a lifetime with proper diet and care.
Step 1 – Make an incision in bikini line only.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to belly button only.
Step 3 – Remove excess skin.
Step 4 – Close bikini line incision.
Extended J Tuck (Full)
The extended J-Tuck starts by removing excess abdominal skin and then continues by performing a precise umbilicoplasty, which shapes your belly button and surrounding area to be just the way you want it. This is the perfect procedure for those looking to get the sculpted, sexy midsection they’ve always wanted.
Like the normal J-Tuck, this procedure helps by strengthening and tightening the muscles of the midsection. The skin of the abdomen will also be tightened up and when necessary, excess skin is removed. The big difference with this procedure is the umbilicoplasty, or belly button lift. This procedure helps to shape your belly button leaving your midsection looking youthful and attractive.
Step 1 – Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 – Remove excess skin.
Step 4 – Make a hole for belly button.
Step 5 – Close both the belly button and bikini line incisions.
Liposuction
Buttock Implant Removal
This procedure is quite quick and easy in most cases. Dr. Curves will start by making a small incision, usually near the area where the buttock meets the upper leg. This will help to hide any scaring that occurs. When open, he will carefully remove the existing buttock implant from each side. If a replacement implant is desired, he can insert this now as well. If not, he will close up the incision so you can begin you recovery process. Recovery from this procedure takes place in the comfort of your own home.
Buttock Implants
The buttock implant is a cosmetic surgical procedure that has a long history of success. When done properly, the implants look and even feel very natural. The procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Curves where he will work with you to learn about your goals. Once ready, he will schedule the procedure to give you the backside you desire.
The procedure itself involves two simple incisions, typically hidden along the crease where the buttock meets the upper leg. Through this incision, Dr. Curves will insert the implants. Depending on the approach taken, the doctor can either put the implants just beneath the skin, or under the muscle itself. Both options provide you with immediate improvement in the look and size of your butt. Recovery is also quite simple and quick with minimal downtime.
Brazilian Butt Lift
The butt augmentation procedure starts out by having the doctor perform a basic liposuction to suction fat from one or more locations on your body. This is done with a very small incision that heals quickly and with little to no scaring. The fat that was removed is processed and purified until so that it can be safely and effectively grafted into your buttock.
When ready, the doctor will inject the fat into the buttock area to get the fuller, rounder look that you desire. Unlike a normal fat grafting, however, the doctor will also manipulate the muscles and skin during the procedure to pull the buttock up higher so it has a fresh, youthful appearance. When done, the incisions are closed up and you will begin the recuperation process, which is typically completed in just a couple weeks.
