Amazing Work! - Miami, FL
Posted by Stef.angeles
Dr. Maercks was amazing, he had great suggestions, didn't try to push me to get more than I needed. Made sure to focus around my eyes and cheekbones and was so kind throughout the entire process. I'd definitely recommend him and won't go to anyone else.

How did I find Dr. Maercks? His unbelievable talent! I ran into a dear friend of mine that I hadn't seen in months. She was glowing. She looked well rested, happy, there was something about her that I couldn't put my finger on....I told her over and over how gorgeous she looked. She smiled and told me about her experience with Dr. Maercks. I would have never guessed that she had any sort of cosmetic procedure. She didn't look "done" to me at all. She looked drop dead gorgeous! I knew I wanted the same for myself and I was growing tired of the short lived effects of Botox. I didn't know what else to do. I am too young for a face lift, yet I had lost that youthful fullness to my face. I was spending way too much on over priced face creams that promise results but leave you with nothing but an empty bank account! I met with the Doctor just a few weeks later and had the procedure on the same day as the consultation. HE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! His office staff was also kind and welcoming. One of my favorite parts about my entire experience is the knowledge I have gained by being a patient of Dr. Maercks. He actually cares about helping, he wants his patients to be informed, he has endless amounts of tips and helpful ideas to keep your skin looking fresh and young. My results exceed even my own expectations and I look forward to a continued relationship with his practice for my future cosmetic surgery needs.

Dr. Maercks is extremely talented, exudes confidence and gives me the assurance I am making the right decision. I felt very comfortable and knews I had made the right choice in going with him. Even gave me his cell phone # should I need it after my procedure. I didn't, ALL went perfectly fine. His staff is equally top notch.

My Non-invasive Butt Lift - Miami Beach, FL
Posted by Nicole.K
Butt Lift
I have supermodel legs now! I recently saw Dr. Maercks for skin tightening of the thighs and buttocks area and I am completely floored by the results! One quick, painless (almost massage like) laser procedure and my legs are firm and my buttocks lifted. Cellulite is diminished if not completely disappeared and the wrinkle between my buttocks and my upper thigh has receded to nearly half its size. I had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone wanting that added confidence this swimsuit season.

A Doctor That Cares - Miami Beach, FL
Posted by hmgarcia9
I was referred to Dr. Maercks by his assistant, Kristina Amador. I’m very glad that I met with him. The consultation was excellent. He was very informative and answered all my questions regarding my medical condition. Dr. Maercks was very professional and knows his field well. I highly recommend everyone to at least consult with him before deciding on a procedure. I’m still deciding on surgery, but Dr. Maercks is a high possibility.

From the initial consultation to my last post op vist, Dr Maercks has shown GREAT care and concern for me. He is very personable and charismatic. I look at the results after 3wks and WOW, I cant stop smiling :) For being my 1st surgery ever of any kind, I am blessed to have had Dr Maercks as my surgeon. He has got one heck of a gift. After only 3wks my confidence and self esteem are thru the roof, you can only imagine how I will feel 6months from now. Thank you Dr Maercks.

Breast Augmentation
My experience with Rian Maercks was incredible! Just like everyone else I was nervous when it came to having a surgical procedure especially since this was my first cosmetic procedure, but Dr. Maercks and his staff made me feel safe and secure. Prior to my surgery we had several office consultations, were everything was explained to me in detail. Dr. Maercks and his staff even accommodated me and scheduled me on his day off due to my work schedule. I would highly recommend Dr. Rian Maercks.

Tuberous Breasts and Aesthetic Augmentation: Small narrow breasts? There is a SOLUTION …
Tuberous breast deformity is a term used by plastic surgeons to describe a constellation of breast findings including a narrow base, large areola, high defined inframammary fold and heniation of breast tissue through the areola. This combination yields an aesthetically unattractive breast that women are frequently embarrassed of and may contribute to lower self confidence. Surgical interventions are commonly sought out by patients with such breast form, but conventional options are not...
Do You Really Want an Augmentation?
With the relatively recent boom in frequency and acceptability of plastic surgery patients and doctors of all kinds seem very eager to augment something whether it be lips, breast, cheeks, buttocks or pretty much anything you can think of. This over-exuberance toward making things bigger has created many plastic surgery nightmares that attract a lot of public attention and give the field a bad name. Breast augmentation is among the most popular cosmetic procedures performed, but is it...
Subfacial Breast Augmentation: What is it?
Most commonly surgeons pick ‘below the muscle’ or ‘above the muscle’ positioning when using breast implants. ‘Above the muscle’ augmentations usually look the most natural initially but quickly age especially when a large size is chosen. Quickly the upper pole of the breast looses volume and becomes a silhouette of the implant, in the lower pole the implant is usually very palpable and with capsular contracture, a ‘rock in a sock appearance’ may result. Implants placed...
The Right Age for Plastic Surgery
A question often posed is “when is the right time for plastic surgery?” In this instance it is of course aesthetic surgery that is being referred to. The short answer is simply there is not one universal “right time.” Aesthetic surgery is an extremely personal decision although becoming more ubiquitous at a younger age day by day. Environmental and cultural factors have led to a higher prevalence of young people interested in treating the first signs of facial aging. If someone...
Is Smart Liposuction really smart?
Heavy spending of industry marketing dollars has caused an evolution of patients to ‘consumers.’ After being flooded with marketing information from the radio, television and magazine editorials patients start to seek out a procedure instead of seeking out a qualified health care professional and the doctor-patient relationship falls out of the equation. This is the perfect setup for disaster. Procedures that are indeed invasive and can have horrible complications are...
