Education & Surgical Training
Dr. Curtsinger’s path to becoming a trusted name in plastic surgery began with a strong academic foundation. He earned his undergraduate degree from Centre College and went on to complete medical school at the University of Louisville. He trained in general surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center before returning to Louisville for a highly competitive fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
This dual training in general and plastic surgery gives him the deep anatomical knowledge and technical skill required for complex, life-changing procedures.
Unmatched Personalized Care

He personally checks in with patients by phone after surgery to ensure they recover comfortably.
His calm, straightforward manner puts patients at ease, while his meticulous surgical technique ensures beautiful, natural-looking results that align with your body and lifestyle.
Special Clinical Interests
While Dr. Curtsinger has training in all aspects of plastic surgery, his current practice focuses on breast and body contouring procedures for women and men. These surgeries are designed to help patients feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
His areas of specialization include:
- Breast Augmentation: Enhancing shape and volume using modern techniques and implant options.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Addressing sagging and restoring youthful contour to the breasts.
- Liposuction: Targeted body sculpting with an emphasis on precision and proportion.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Offering drainless techniques for improved comfort and quicker recovery.
- Mommy Makeover: Custom combination procedures designed to restore pre-pregnancy confidence.
- Male Body Contouring: Specializing in gynecomastia surgery and post-weight loss reshaping for men.
By combining advanced techniques with an eye for proportion and balance, Dr. Curtsinger helps patients achieve results that feel both refined and natural.
Advanced Recovery
& Surgical Innovation
Dr. Curtsinger is at the forefront of advanced techniques designed to improve surgical outcomes and reduce recovery time. His practice emphasizes patient safety, comfort, and long-term satisfaction.
Enhanced Recovery Protocols
To help patients heal faster and feel better sooner, Dr. Curtsinger uses Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) strategies, which include:
- Minimizing narcotics and promoting early movement
- Providing clear post-op guidance and support
- Integrating supplements and non-opioid medications when appropriate
- Advanced anesthesia techniques, including total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and ultrasound-guided TAP blocks
- Drainless tummy tucks
- Drainless circumferential body lifts
These measures support a smoother recovery process and help patients return to daily life with greater ease and confidence.
Pain Control & Comfort
Dr. Curtsinger routinely uses Exparel®, a long-lasting anesthetic that can significantly reduce the need for narcotic pain medication in the first 72 hours after surgery.
Drainless Surgical Techniques
A renowned provider of drainless abdominoplasty and circumferential body lifts, Dr. Curtsinger uses progressive tension sutures to avoid the need for surgical drains. This technique enhances comfort, simplifies aftercare, and lowers the risk of complications.
Additional surgical refinements include:
- Internal suturing techniques to minimize visible scarring
- Judicious use of fat grafting for contouring

These advanced methods reflect Dr. Curtsinger’s ongoing commitment to optimizing both aesthetic results and recovery experiences.
