Maggie,
Thanks for your question. Absolutely I am board certified. I have a board certification from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as well as the American Board of Otolaryngology. I specialize exclusively in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. My first five years of residency were specialized in significant surgery of the head and neck including major traumatic and neoplastic sugery. I then performed an additional fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. I currently write board questions for the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and administer the Oral Board. My complete qualifications are on the website. Please take some time to review them.
We perform surgery both in the office, at Central Park Surgery Center and at several major hospitals in the area. Office surgery consists of smaller procedures that can be carried out under local anesthesia with or without some oral sedation. Procedures requiring, or as requested by the patient, deeper sedation are performed at Central Park primarily and occasionally at a hospital. When we are at Central Park we use board certified anesthesiologists. Some of the hospitals also utilize nurse anesthetists.
I hope this information has been helpful. Please feel free to call or email with any further questions.
Ed Buckingham
Hello,
I have recently lost a significant amount of weight, and my lower eyelid area appears hollow. I am thinking about a Fat Transfer to my lower eyelid cheek area. I am concerned this procedure will make me look fat. Is this true?

Hello,
I am a 50 and recentley quit smoking, I smoked for 20 years. I have many wrinkles around my mouth and wanted to know what I could do to improve them. I also have wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes. I probably could use a facelift but I am not ready for that yet. Could you tell me what we might discuss when I come in for a consultation so that I can do a little research?
Thanks
