Under the direction of my ophthalmologist I was given a test that showed that my field of view was decreased due to the drooping of my upper eyelids. The ophthalmologist highly recommended Dr. Ricciardelli of Summit Plastic Surgery of Wilmington , NC to perform upper eyelid surgery. The Ophthalmologist even stated that when the time came that she needed eyelid surgery she would have the procedure done by Dr. Ricciardelli. His entire staff was welcoming, extremely professional and highly efficient. Dr. Ricciardelli and his te... read more

BEST thing I have ever done for myself. I saved every penny I had to have this done and I couldn't be happier. My Tummy is still healing and will be for 6 months to a year and it's worth the wait. Everyday I see a massive improvement. Dr. Ricciardelli, is a master. His STAFF is amazing from the greeter at the back door and all his nurses are TOP NOTCH. I am thinking about what can I do next.

Was nervous at first but after talking to Dr. Ricciardelli he explained everything that was going to take place, after my consultation I felt very comfortable. Second visit we talked about what exactly I wanted to have accomplished from the procedure, and what was my main focus. Before procedure pictures were taken and dr. Ricciardelli used his computer and one of the pictures that was taken and edited it to show me how it was going to look after and told me exactly what he was going to do. The Nurses were very kind and hand... read more

Droopy eyelids resulted in limiting my peripheral vision and causing my eyes to be constantly tired. This also caused my eyes to be puffy and old looking. I was interested into correcting this problem and researched eyelid surgery and plastic surgeons via the internet and word of mouth. A friend, who is a nurse, also recommended Dr. Edward Ricciardelli from Summit Plastic Surgery in North Carolina. I was very nervous about getting eyelid surgery. I cannot state strongly enough that "there was NO pain" involved. Everyone invo... read more

My eye doctor recommended I have my eyelid lifted for peripheral vision in my left eye. I was concerned about side effects and healing. Much to my delight, not yet one month after, I am completely healed and my vision is incredible. I am so grateful to the anesthetist who completely understood me and took extra special care to alleviate any fear I had. I am also thankful that I chose Dr Ricciadelli, a Dr who truly cares about his patient, to perform the surgery. I wear progressive lenses and now understand why it was always ... read more

I have been concerned for some time and losing my ability to drive my auto safely and also needing a lot more light to read and do any type of close work. I am far more comfortable driving and reading than before and regret that I did not have this done earlier. An additional benefit is that I have been told I look younger.

Since I was a child I have always been insecure about my nose. Even in my twenties I have not gotten over my insecurity about my nose, and felt that it was the right time to have this cosmetic surgery. After doing some research, I went to see Dr. Ricciardelli in Wilmington, NC. He was very straight forward and really understood what I wanted. The staff was also great too. It's been months since my surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. I feel more confident taking pictures and meeting new people.

My breasts have always been way too small for my wide frame, and I also was never able to produce breastmilk for any of my four children. One of my breasts was significantly larger and had more ptosis than the other. I visited Dr Ricciardelli for a consult and was instantly at ease. He is friendly, kind and listens to your exact wishes. He is realistic and will tell you if your wishes can be safely done or not. I ended up with a bilateral donut lift. I had 500 (left) and 600(right)cc smooth mentor moderate plus implants plac... read more

After having 2 kids and losing 75lbs, there was no way no matter what I did that the skin on my stomach was going anywhere unless I had it surgically removed. I had never had an elective surgery before and was very nervous about it but figured that scheduling a consultation wouldn't hurt. When I checked in for my consultation, the front office was very delightful and gave me a ton of information about Dr. Ricciardelli and his background while waiting. Once I got into the room, the nurse was very nice and helpful with a few q... read more
