From the reviews

I was originally scheduled for a lower face lift in Los Angeles (Beverly Hills) where we lived at the time; then my husband and I moved to the East Coast, so I researched the same procedure in New York.

★★★★★ — Katherine, Aug 2019

For years I wanted a facelift but was hesitant. I heard many horror stories. However, after a consultation with Dr. Russell I made the decision to go forward with the procedure. His calm, caring, and friendly demeanor assuaged my fears. Dr. Russell explained the procedure in detail.

★★★★★ — Ann, Jul 2019

There is absolutely no need to travel to New York, California, Florida or Texas to find a world class facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Russell is a brilliant surgeon with specialized expertise and extensive training in cutting edge techniques based in Charleston, South Carolina.

★★★★★ — J, May 2022

I researched and searched extensively for a facial plastic surgeon to perform Blepharoplasty surgery (droopy eyelid) and was nervous about finding the right surgeon. I was referred to Dr. Joseph Russell and immediately knew this was the outstanding surgeon I was seeking.

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.
