Resources for Out-of-Town Surgery Patients

Exceptional Facial Surgery in the Heart of Charlotte

Patients travel from across the Southeast, throughout the country, and even internationally to experience Dr. Kulbersh’s expertise in facial plastic surgery. As Charlotte’s #1 facial plastic surgeon for seven consecutive years, we’ve created a seamless experience for out-of-town patients that combines world-class surgical care with unparalleled comfort and convenience.

Why Patients Choose to Travel to Carolina Facial Plastics

Double Board-Certified Excellence

Dr. Jonathan Kulbersh is the region’s only double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with advanced fellowship training. His expertise in procedures like rhinoplasty, facelifts, and revision surgeries draws patients who want the highest level of care close to home.

All-Inclusive Aesthetic Destination

Our SouthPark location houses everything you need in one building: a fully accredited QUAD-A surgery center, private recovery retreat, and luxury facilities. This unique setup eliminates the stress of coordinating multiple locations during your surgical journey.

Focused Exclusively on Facial Surgery

Unlike general plastic surgeons, our entire practice is dedicated to facial procedures. This singular focus has allowed Dr. Kulbersh and his team to perfect techniques that deliver natural-looking, exceptional results.
