He listens to your needs and will explain the various surgical techniques that he can use to achieve your goal. Dr. Rodriguez believes that patient education and informed consent are important parts of enhancing your image. After your initial consultation, you will have a pre-operative consult so that he can review the surgical plan and prepare you for the post-operative period.

Your surgery is performed by Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez and his highly specialized surgical team in our State of the Art, Medicare Certified, Plastic Surgery Facility. Dr. Rodriguez performs surgery under iv-sedation with local anesthesia (twilight), which means that your recovery is much quicker compared to having the procedure with general anesthesia. With iv-sedation you are asleep during surgery and you do not have the nausea that patients get with general anesthesia. All sedation anesthesia is administered and 100% monitored by Board Certified Anesthesiologist, M.D.s. Surgery can also be performed at one of the many Baltimore hospitals at which Dr. Rodriguez has admitting privileges. Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) and St. Joseph Medical Center are only 3 miles away from our facility.
Following your surgery, Dr. Rodriguez feels that all patients should have direct access to him by telephone. For this reason, Dr. Rodriguez encourages patients to contact him directly by cell phone instead of the answering service. Out of town patients will be taken by private medical transport to nearby hotels which have special accommodations for medical patients.
