Dr. Curves Andrew Jimerson #32

Season 1, Ep. 32

People have always wanted to look younger or feel better about their appearance. Traditional plastic surgery procedures only took into account the excisional component of correction. This often left unnatural looking, operated on appearances. In 2006, a young lady was presented to Dr. Jimerson for tummy tuck and liposuction of her love handles. She jokingly asked Dr. Jimerson if he could use the fat that he got from the liposuction to enhance her buttocks. At the time, the plastic surgery community knew very little about this procedure. However, because Dr. Jimerson is an innovator, he agreed to preform the procedure for her.

Advanced Plastic Surgery Solutions is Atlanta’s newest plastic surgery practice  specializing in the latest techniques for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Andrew Jimerson II, MD brings his outstanding training with him to this John’s Creek practice. Dr. Jimerson fell in love with Atlanta during his undergraduate education. He then traveled to Ohio for medical school. He was one of three medical students from across the nation selected to train in plastic surgery at the Ohio State University Medical Center.
