Many patients ask about the safety of our AAAASF nationally accredited surgical facility especially in light of the Stephanie Kuleba case. The following article about the case highlights the enhanced safety measures that we take to be an AAAASF operating facility. http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/9-1-1-tapes-released-in-teen-plastic-surgery-death.aspx?googleid=30270 As important as the increased safety requirements, an on-site AAAASF operating facility allows us to minimize confusion. To give an analogy, accidents in the operating room frequently occur due to confusion. If you reduce this confusion, the likelihood of an accident decreases. By using the same staff in the same environment on a daily basis, we can maintain the highest standards of safety. This is one reason combined with Dr. Reddy's expertise why we have not had a mishap in our over 30 years as a practice and subsequently avoided malpractice claims or official complaints. In addition to safety, an on-site AAAASF facillty allows us to better control costs and transfer savings to patients. Dr. Reddy has staff privleges at JFK hospital and will treat patients in a hospital setting if a patient is better served in this environment. Certain cases such as the removal of advanced skin lesions are better done in a hospital setting.

Dr. Kris Reddy is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Dr. Reddy is the only board certified plastic surgeon to be a Fellow of American and International College of Surgeons in Palm Beach County.  Dr. Reddy has cared for South Florida patients for over 30 years.

Dr. Kris Reddy specializes on minimally invasive procedures of the face, breast and body both through cosmetic surgery and nonsurgical treatments. Dr. Reddy is also extremely skilled in laser treatments including laser resurfacing, laser lipo (SmartLipo and Cool Lipo) and Fraxel. Skin Care treatments and medical-grade skin care products such as Obagi and Vivite are also offered at the Plastic Surgery Center.  Dr. Kris Reddy offers a free, private consultation. 

Surgery, Laser Resurfacing, Botox, Restylane, Radiesse, Perlane, Juvederm, and Artefill treatments performed by Dr. Reddy.

Our center has an on-site AAAASF Nationally Accredited Operating Facility.  Dr. Reddy was the first board certified plastic surgeon to operate in an on-going basis in such a facility in Palm Beach county.  The AAAASF Nationally Accredited Operating Facility maintains the safety standards of a hospital, but provides patients a more cost effective, convenient, and private alternative. Anesthesia is provided by MD Anesthesiologists. IV or Local Sedation is an option for many procedures. 

Dr. Reddy continually provides excellent care and cost effective solutions. Moreover, Dr. Reddy's reputation and volume does lead vendors such as Allergan, Mentor, and Medicis to provide exclusive savings which Dr. Reddy passes onto his patients. Therefore, Dr.Reddy can offer procedures such as breast augmentation, botox, and injectables in an extremely cost effective manner. For our monthly savings, please check out that section or please call (561) 304-0001.

The most accurate assessment of a board certified plastic surgeon is from the plastic surgery societies and state Department of Health. We would recommend that you ensure that your surgeon of choice is board certified by the  American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a member of Amerian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and is in good standing with the state Department of Heath.  More experienced surgeons will also be either Fellow of American College of Surgeons and/or Fellow of International College of Surgeons.  Dr. Reddy has all these credentials. 

Moreover, Dr. Reddy has practiced since 1974 with a completely clean record in terms of malpractice claims and official complaints.  Few doctors can match this record of patient care.  Dr. Reddy has achieved his record of success by sticking with good medicine that produces natural looking results and avoids unnecessary risks. You can not achieve perfection through cosmetic surgery but Dr. Reddy strives to do his best to be attentive and caring in his care and to explain the improvement expected and limitations of any procedure.   

Dr. Reddy combines safe and effective practices with innovative approaches.  Dr. Reddy has developed new approaches to treating the face (e.g. smartlift and periorbital revitalizer), body (e.g. body reviser), and breast. Dr. Reddy was the first plastic surgeon to offer Fraxel in West Palm Beach, and is one of the first to offer laser lipo (both smartlipo and cool lipo) in South Florida.

We endeavor to be the best center for aesthetic surgery and medicine.  Patient care and satisfaction are our highest goals. If you have any questions or suggestions to improve, please feel free to contact Vivek Reddy or Shirley Hamlin at 561.304.0001. We welcome any opportunity to clarify any communication or recommendation.  Even after 30 plus years in practice, we are continually learning and adapting from our patients.
