What criswell & criswell plastic surgery does

Criswell & Criswell Plastic Surgery is a private, physician-owned medical practice headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, founded in 2012 by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Kara Criswell and Dr. Bryan Criswell. The practice operates two Charlotte-area locations — a flagship facility in Ballantyne featuring a fully accredited in-office surgery center, and a SouthPark location for consultations and select services — and serves patients across the Southeast US. Service is delivered by the two principal surgeons plus a small clinical and aesthetician support team (11-50 employees total), with Dr. Kara Criswell additionally serving as Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Presbyterian Hospital.

The practice spans a comprehensive surgical and non-surgical aesthetic portfolio. Surgical offerings cover body contouring (liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, post-weight-loss skin removal), breast procedures (augmentation, lift, reduction, revision, reconstruction via DIEP/TRAM/latissimus flaps), facial surgery (deep plane facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, neck lift), men's procedures, and reconstructive surgery. The Be Well MedSpa sub-brand extends the offering into recurring-revenue non-surgical treatments including neuromodulators (BOTOX, Xeomin, Letybo), dermal fillers (Juvederm family, Radiesse starting at $700/syringe), Halo and Forever Young BBL lasers, Ellacor micro-coring skin tightening, HydraFacial, microneedling, hair restoration (PRP, exosomes), and regenerative therapies (stem cell, PRP/PDGF).

Revenue is generated on a professional services / fee-for-service basis with unit pricing on injectable procedures and procedure-specific pricing on surgical work, supplemented by financing options. Patient acquisition is sales-led, driven by in-person consultations, virtual consultations, physician referrals for complex reconstructive cases, and a content marketing program spanning educational blog content, video testimonials, before/after galleries, and community events. The patient base is highly diversified across cosmetic, reconstructive, post-weight-loss, men, and medspa segments, with no enterprise or B2B customer concentration.
