Dr. Carlin and his staff are absolutely amazing! I had my implants removed with a lift performed on 8/7/20205. Only 8 weeks post op and I am absolutely amazed at his work! Absolute perfection!

I had a breast reduction and lift this morning with Dr. Carlin. Everyone was exceptional! From Whitney to Stacy. I can’t remember the CRNA’s name but he was awesome as well. Everything was done in a timely manner. They listen too. I’ve been at home 6 hours and I have minimal pain. Excited to see my results. Will post another review in a couple of weeks. But so far A++++.

Dr Carlin originally placed my breast implants 23 years ago and I was very pleased with the results. He advised at that time, gravity still happens and I would eventually need to have a revision. I was thrilled that I made it 23 years with my original implants. I recently had my revision with him and cannot be happier. At his suggestion, I decided to have the implants removed (without replacement) and a lift.

Dr Carlin is an absolutely wonderful surgeon. From my initial consult, he was very honest with me, he listened to what I wanted, and was very polite and understanding. He removed saline breast implants I had prior and replaced them with silicone and I am so in love! I was so worried my scars would be worse, and he actually took the time to fix my previous scars and made them less noticeable.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Carlin and his staff for my breast augmentation. After doing hours of research of surgeons throughout the state, I chose Dr. Carlin and I'm glad I did. He's knowledgeable, informative, and very helpful. I wasn't sure which size to go with for my body shape but Dr. Carlin was very helpful in choosing a size for the image that I wanted! I am two weeks post-surgery and I'm already healing so well. Great experience!!

Dr. Carlin made me feel at ease in the office and on surgery day! I had breast augmentation at age 62 and couldn't be more pleased. I went to him asking for a 'lift' and was advised that a small implant should do the trick and it did. That was 4 years ago and I am still pleased with the results as nothing has changed!

After having 3 children, my 34DD breasts were a sagging 34B from breastfeeding. It was time to do something for myself. I recently had a lift and an implant. I love my results. My doctor used the anchor technique. I chose to go with saline implants (250cc each) under the muscle, and I have no regrets! I'm a full C or small D now… too soon to know for sure. So worth it!

He is an amazing plastic surgeon. I had breast implants and he did the exact size needed and was very thorough in his explanation.

I have had two cosmetic surgeries with Dr. Carlin, one, a medically necessary breast reduction and the other a brow lift. Both times I was treated with respect and kindness, and the results were exceptional. The staff is kind and knowledgable as well.I have also had botox and juviderm injections several times which Dr. Carlin performs himself.I have had to wait to see Dr. Carlin on several occasions but I understood because I knew he would give me the same attention and care he was giving the patients beforew me.

41 year old mom of 2 kids with prior and recent significant weight loss. I originally saw Dr. Carlin roughly 10 years ago after losing 100 pounds, but he suggested I wait until after I am done having kids. Fast forward and I am now 3 days post Tummy tuck. I could not be happier with my results so far. Even with the expected swelling, my tummy looks so much better. The staff at his office has been exceptional. .Always very friendly and helpful.

I recently had my lower lids done and it was not an easy procedure, but Dr. Carlin did an amazing g job. I am so happy with what he did. I would highly recommend him to any one considering plastic surgery. No need to go to Charleston, we have one of the best Plastic Surgeons right here in West Comumbia, and that is Dr. Brett Carlin!

Dr. Carlin is amazing. He did my cosmetic surgery several years ago and I still look wonderful. I am having another (different) procedure this week. I also go to him for fillers and Botox. My friend had a facelift done by him and she is more than pleased. He spends more than adequate time with me. I am a nurse and I would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you Dr Carlin.

Dr. Carlin is the best, he is honest and will definitely not advise unnecessary procedures. If you are looking for the Best, call him. I personally have had surgery performed by him, and have been extremely happy. Have seen other surgical outcomes that are just beautiful, very natural just setting back the clock.

Dr. Carlin and his staff are absolutely amazing! The entire process from the consultation to the surgery to post-op was easier than I ever thought possible. It hasn’t even been a week since my surgery and I can’t wait for the results. I text Dr. Carlin whenever I have a concern/question between appointments and he is always so accommodating and helpful. Couldn’t be more satisfied with his bed side manner and sense of humor, which is important.

Dr. Carlin and his staff are amazing! The doc’s bedside manner and compassion is something you just don’t find everyday. Dr. Carlin will make sure you are informed and prepared as best as possible for surgery. I had a lot of anxiety day of surgery and the entire staff at the surgery center and Dr. Carlin put me right at ease. I’m 3 weeks post surgery and my results are beyond anything I expected and I still have 3 months to go before I see full results.

I had a car wreck about 5 year ago the left me with a Harry Potter scar. I went to several doctors who all said- you are alive-live with it. A friend recommended Dr Carlin and boy am I glad she did. I now have eyebrows that are the same level and have more self confidence.

The experience was like no other doctor/patient I've ever had. Appointments were easy to get and around my schedule. Never had to wait because they were always on time. Dr. Carlin was friendly, knowledgeable ad gave me realistic expectations of services I was obtaining. He guided me with the procedure decision to achieve the best results without milking me for services I did not need. The recovery time for my procedure was constantly monitored which gave me peace of mind. Totally Recommend him!!
