Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

An unparalleled expert in his field, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz’s ongoing research and academic work gives him a distinct advantage when performing surgery. He authored a chapter in the oculoplastic surgery textbook, Problems in Periorbital Surgery: A Repair Manual, in addition to several published articles in the most prestigious peer-reviewed plastic surgery journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. He was also awarded the 2015 Best Paper Award by Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The doctor’s accolades include being named an Haute Living Beauty Expert (and keynote speaker at the publication’s 2019 Beauty Summit) as well as one of the Top 10 Miami Plastic Surgeons, Miami Indulge magazine’s Top Doctors and Aesthetic Everything’s Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the East.

Originally from Puerto Rico, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz is fluent in English and Spanish. When he is not indulging his passion for plastic surgery, he enjoys the natural beauty of Miami with his wife and three young children, and often travels back home to Puerto Rico to relax with family and friends.
