From the reviews
In February I had a lower eyelid lift, a NaturalLift and buccal fat removal with DR Richards. It was my second procedure with Dr Richards. In February 2021, I'd had a full face laser resurfacing procedure. All my meetings with the staff at Cosmetic Surgery Associates prior to both surgeries were very positive.
Dr. Richards is a fabulous surgeon. He did a wonderful job with my breast augmentation. The surgical staff and office staff are all wonderful and so welcoming. I felt very well cared for the whole time. They are very professional and top notch! Dr. Richards is so nice and made me feel very comfortable.
Dr. Richards has truly been a life-changing experience for me—in the best possible way. I started with a breast augmentation, then had a tummy tuck, and most recently a facelift with blepharoplasty. Every single procedure delivered amazing results. I honestly could not imagine going to any other doctor.
1000% Recommend Dr. Richards if you are considering a cosmetic procedure. I had an amazing experience with my breast augmentation surgery from start to finish. Dr. Richards was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly took the time to listen to my goals and answer all of my questions.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
