As a board certified plastic surgeon with a genuine commitment to helping others and educating consumers, Dr. Rick is a perfect fit for SmartFem magazine and our commitment to working with the best in their field. Lea asked Dr. Rick the important questions that you need to know to not only make the right choices in selecting your surgeon but understanding what options are available, how much plastic surgery you need and how to care for yourself and get the best long term results. Sometimes when it comes to plastic surgery, “less is more.

Knowing the difference between Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery is one of the most misunderstood problems consumers face. Understanding the difference between a Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Surgeon can mean the difference between a fully qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and someone who may have only completed a weekend course in a specific cosmetic procedure. Local regulations are not always clear for the consumer and knowing you are working with a fully qualified and experienced professional is extremely important.
