Dr. Richard Carlino — Specialists in Plastic Surgery

Dr Carlino

Plastic Surgery is about change. Sometimes it’s a change in a characteristic that a person doesn’t like or perhaps restoring features that have changed with time. Sometimes it’s about maintenance and looking as good as you feel. My goals are threefold:

To offer my patients an extraordinary level of expertise in a very individual and personalized setting.
To understand the aesthetic goals of my patients while helping to establish realistic expectation.
Above all, to form a comfortable and trusting relationship allowing each patient to undergo their surgery with confidence.

Training compliments ability. Some cosmetic surgeons receive limited training with limited exposure. Cosmetic Surgery is about performing procedures while Plastic Surgery is about developing artistry and concepts. It is about working with patients and defining the correct procedures to perform to get their desired results. It’s about the ability to understand and communicate realistic from unrealistic aesthetic goals. With every patient, I work to combine my in-depth plastic surgery training, over 19 years of experience as a plastic surgeon in the Triangle and ability as a surgeon to provide each patient extraordinary results.
