About Dr. Richard Carlino
Dr. Richard E. Carlino, MD, says, “Plastic surgery is about change–sometimes it’s a change in a feature that a person doesn’t like, or perhaps it’s about body 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 his or her surgery with confidence.
“Training complements 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 with extraordinary results.”
Dr. Carlino was recently recognized as an IDEAL IMPLANT Preferred Surgeon due to his extensive expertise working with IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants, the latest technology in breast augmentation. With a unique structure surrounding these saline-filled implants, women can achieve beautiful results with zero risk of silent rupture. Dr. Carlino uses the IDEAL IMPLANT to help women look and feel their best. With the IDEAL IMPLANT, no expensive MRIs are needed, and they come with a lower risk of both capsule contracture and ruptures when compared to other implants.
