"Very professional and courteous. I have no regrets and would gladly refer Dr. Hunstad and his staff to anyone." ~Rebecca, Plastic Surgery Patient from Charlotte, NC

"I went on numerous consults with plastic surgeons in my area, some out of area, and none of them compared to Dr. Hunstad! The reviews I read online, awards, published research etc. prompted me to schedule a consult; however, when I met him, I knew right away he was "the one." His surgical skills, technique, experience, and low to non-existent complication rates set him apart from the rest; in addition, his staff is so nice! His standard of care does not change after you have paid him for his services, and his staff is always willing to accommodate for reassurance, questions, and just down-right professionalism! I have been very impressed, grateful, and almost "giddy" with my results! Dr. Hunstad is a gem, and I highly recommend him!" ~

"As the founder of this site for over 11 years I know the best surgeons in the country. So when my daughter wanted to get breast enhancement a few surgeons across the country came to mind. With Charlotte only being a 1.5 hour drive from Columbia, SC and since Dr. Hunstad did my best friend's breast augmentation redo perfectly, Dr. Hunstad was at the top of our list. It's been 3 months since she got her breast implants and they are perfect. When friends here in Columbia ask me for a referral I always tell them it's worth the drive to Charlotte." ~

"After having saline implants for 6 years and working for a
plastic surgeon for the past year I decided to switch to Inamed Gels.
Dr. Hunstad enlarged the pockets and they were perfect from the moment I
came out of the OR" ~

"My best friend consulted with a well-known plastic surgeon in Columbia, SC who was not confident about what kind of results he could provide. So, I recommended Dr. Hunstad. He not only performed what other plastic surgeons were not willing to do, he did so perfectly! I watched the surgery and Dr. Hunstad really knows his stuff! I not only highly recommend Dr. Hunstad, I believe in and trust his skills so much, my daughter and I have consulted with him for her breast augmentation. If you are not in Charlotte, he is worth the drive to Charlotte." ~

"Words just can't describe how happy I am that i chose Dr. Hunstad. I traveled 5 hours to him for my BA and it was more than worth it. The staff are very warm, caring and friendly. Recovery, so far, is a breeze. I highly recommend Dr. Hunstad, and I will go back to him and only him for any other procedures I decide on. He's amazing!" ~
