Dr. Richard Hodnett MD's Expert Contributions
Is a cosmetic surgery the same as a plastic surgery?
A plastic surgeon has specifically been trained in another surgical speciality for three years, then in plastic surgery 3-4 years. A cosmetic surgeon is a physician who has received his/her certificate after a course, not specific training for years in evaluating a patient and all possible potential complications that can happen. Hope this helps. Dr. Hodnett READ MORE

Fantastic bedside manner, very informative. I was worried about my breast and he followed up multiple times to ensure everything was ok. Even after having a breast ultrasound, he had me come in to ease my nerves and diminish my worries! Nothing was wrong with my breast! I'm just over reactive. Best surgeon in the area. 100% recommended!

After 8 years, I am still super happy with Dr. Hodnett's job. The feelings in my boob remain the same they have always been. They feel totally natural. I was recommended through a friend and many friends have used him as well. He is the only doc I would ever go to. Hoping he doesn't retire anytime soon! I love my breasts!!

I chose Dr Hodnett for my lift and augmentation because at my consultation he was quick and straight to the point. He didn't try to sell me up. I had an idea of what I needed and he confirmed. Dr Hodnett and his staff made me feel like family from the minute I came in. On the day of surgery I was terrified and him and my nurse could not have made me any more comfortable. I am 6 weeks post op and love the new improved me. I get lots of compliments and feel very good. My breasts look great, they are healing amazing. I have anxiety and the dr and his staff have been incredible and patient with me. Answering every question and seeing me anytime i feel the need to come in. I'm so glad I trusted my gut and chose Dr Hodnett for my surgery. Referring him to any and everybody!!
- Maria
Excellent , he has been doing many different procedures to at least 8 people from my family like Brest Augmentation, my mother had a Co2 Laser and looks 10 years younger, my sister had a tummy tuck and looks amazing. Dr. Hodnett has a lot of experience and that's one of the reasons we choose him and trusted him.

I am so happy that I finally decided to do this! I have always been self conscious of my nose. No pain, no bruising, the recovery was quick, I am so happy! Thank you Dr. Hodnett!

I have had several previous surgeries by other doctors. Dr. Hodnett by far is superior in my results!! I would highly recommend him!!!

Great experience! Super content with my breast!
Unbelievable results!! My husband and I both came in and got Facetite and bodytite. We are 3 weeks post-op and we already see the amazing results. I look 10 years younger and I finally have a flat stomach!! My husband went back into work and all his coworkers said he keeps looking younger. They have no idea he had Facetite. His stomach is at least half its original size. Everyone here at this office is kind and professional. We've had an excellent experience. I highly recommend Dr. Hodnett. He is very patient and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly.

Dr. Hodnett was great at addressing all my concerns. I was getting my breast augmentation redone after 10 years, upgrading from saline to silicone. He was extremely knowledgable and made me feel very comfortable during the process. My scars are not noticeable and the final result came out great. Thanks!
