He spends most days each week cooking up everything from simple meals to gourmet feasts. He has a weak spot for all things sweet, particularly recipes involving dark chocolate.

The biggest influence in Dr. Culbertson’s decision to become a plastic surgeon was the Chair of Plastic Surgery at the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Michael Bentz. Dr. Culbertson shares,

“The best thing about being a plastic surgeon is the ability to combine science and creativity. I am continually revising my surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Bentz’ mentoring led me to where I am today. What he did was completely different from other surgical procedures, like re-creating a child’s absent ear with rib cartilage and using a woman’s abdominal tissue to restore her breasts after double mastectomies.”

Dr. Culbertson specializes in procedures such as the mommy makeover, breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tucks. He performs surgical and non-surgical procedures like facelifts, drainless abdominoplasty, fat grafting, and other transforming procedures that boost his patients’ self-esteem and provide natural-looking results specific to each person’s unique anatomy, expectations and desires.
