Franklin D. Richards, MD

What amazing experience!
With the lower eyelid blepharoplasty Dr. Franklin Richards performed on me, he has proven to be an expert in the field of aesthetic human body sculptor. He skillfully and carefully removed my stubborn eyebags after years of unsuccessful attempts on my part. Right from the consultation, through the surgery, and a few hours after discharge, he called to check on my condition. A key demonstration of his expertise in plastic surgery is his ability to reshape the natural creases, folds, and contours of my eyes so authentically that they appear entirely natural. This is unbelievable and my friends were amazed to see this level of transformation on my face. The job he did on eyelids is priceless and I can't thank him enough for giving me back my self-confidence. As there's no 6 stars, I gave him "5 stars." The surgery center is awesome, overall!!

Hii, had my procedure on Aug 19, 2025. Currently 5 days post op with Dr. Franklin Richards. He was great, very patient, and polite. Absolutely lovee my patient coordinator, Mariah. She’s such a sweetheart, listened to my concerns, and offered very helpful insights and feedback. I’ll insert pics so far as well as before pics!


Stats: 5 feet tall, 100 lbs, 325 cc moderate plus mentor round implants under the muscle. Under the breast crease incision.

Hii, I’m one week post op now! I can’t believe how fast time is flying!! I’m super super happy with my recovery and how well everything has been so far (and hopefully continues to go). Swelling has gone down so much! I’ll definitely attach a picture of my day 1 post op and day 7 post op.

I’ve also regained nipple sensation in both breasts. Although, the left is a bit hypersensitive. Was cleared to start wearing bandeau strap today for half a day (for a week or 2 depending on how I feel about the upper pole).

Think I’m going to update as the days go by.

Hi all,

I’m now 2 weeks post op and the girls are continuing to drop! The swelling is going down a lot slower now but I’m happy with the size so I hope they don’t go down too much.

The tingling and tensing feeling has gone down a lot (now I only feel them periodically in my incisions). The steri strips are still on lol. I think if they’re not off by week 4, I’m going to be very concerned.

I only wore the bandeau strap for 3 days (my last day was last Friday) because I like the height of the girls. They’re still very stiff but I mean its only been 2 weeks lol. I’ll attach a video of the girls and a pic of them in clothes!

I recently had an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Richards and I am beyond thrilled with my results. From the very first consultation to the final stages of recovery, my experience was nothing short of exceptional.?Dr. Richards took the time to thoroughly explain the entire blepharoplasty process, including what to expect before, during, and after surgery and his attention to detail gave me complete confidence in moving forward. His calm and professional demeanor really put me at ease, and I felt fully prepared for the procedure.?What stood out the most was the incredible care provided by his staff. Every single person I interacted with, from the front desk to the surgical team, was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They made sure I was comfortable, informed, and never felt rushed. I received multiple follow-up calls and texts to check on my recovery, which truly made me feel supported

I had a breast lift and reduction and tummy tuck with Dr. Franklin Richards at Cosmetic Surgery Associates at the end of January 2025, and I am thrilled with my results. I found Dr. Richards and his entire team to be professional and kind. I got norovirus a few weeks after surgery and was worried I had damaged my muscle repair and Dr. Richards got me in right away to check it and reassure me that everything was as it should be. Highly recommend, life changing for me.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Richards and his staff from consultation to post-op check-in’s! I was nervous at first because I didn’t know what procedure was right for me but I knew what I wanted the outcome to be. I set up a consultation and Joanne walked me through the options. I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and didn’t want without pressure to choose a certain procedure. Dr. Richards advised on the procedure that would be best for the outcomes I wanted, answered all my questions, and I felt confident in his capabilities! For the pre-op appointment, I got to review surgery day plans and they covered everything in detail and made sure I was confident in my decision. Surgery day was a breeze! The operating staff and Anesthesiologist told me exactly what I should expect and helped ease my anxiety. They coordinated well with my sister who was picking me up after surgery and gave clear instructions for the day or two post-op. I had Dr. Richard’s phone number to reach out to if I had any questions or concerns after the operation and he even followed up with me the day after to check in on how I was doing. Shaila was the best nurse and point of contact! She answered dozens of questions in the weeks following surgery and never made me feel like it was a burden. I can’t recommend Dr. Richards and his staff enough! The knowledge, care, and attention given to me throughout the process was everything I needed as a first time patient.

I wanted to put my response here so it would be easier to find. I have Mentor MemoryGel smooth round moderate classic profile 405cc in the left and 470cc in the right. I went slightly wider than my bwd of 14.2cm. The 405cc is 14.2cm wide and the 470cc is 15cm wide and I love the results!!

Dr. Richard is truly a master sculptor of faces. His incredible work has taken 15 years off my appearance, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. His skill, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a naturally youthful and refreshed look!

Very pleased overall with my “natural lift” —which one year out has settled and truly looks natural but still much improved from where I started. He also got rid of those under eye bags, for a much refreshed face. He has been responsive to questions and is also very kind and listens to concerns. He even did a little laser treatment on my cheeks for free during a follow up appt.’

I have two different operations performed by Dr. Richards. For. My first procedure, Dr. Richards did on my neck liposuction. I was so happy with the results I went back against. This time, Dr. Richards performed abdominal and flank liposuction. I am beyond happy with the results. Dr. Richards was honest about what the outcome would be like to set expectations but my expectations were exceeded. Dr. Richards does amazing work. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to get liposuction! I can’t wait for summer to show off my results. Also, all the staff at Cosmetic Surgery Associates are phenomenal. They made sure you felt comfortable and answered all of my questions. I knew I was in good hands for both procedures.

Dr. Richards and his staff are the best! I had a breast augmentation back in August and the process was so smooth. At the consultation, all of my questions and concerns were answered and addressed. Dr. Richards really listens to what you want and relieves any worry and stress that I had. The day of the procedure everyone was so kind and makes you feel comfortable going into surgery. The results were very natural and exactly what I wanted. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Richards and his staff! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could.
