Person
Dr. Rick Green, MD
Board-certified plastic surgeon with three decades of practice in Vancouver, Washington — the original Vancouver — who answered the questions about plastic surgery that nobody usually gets to ask.
Dr. Rick Green is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been in private practice for over 30 years in Vancouver, Washington — which he points out is the original Vancouver, and that George Washington stopped there before heading further north. His practice is about half cosmetic, half reconstructive, which he and Kathy discussed at length because she genuinely didn’t know what that distinction meant in practice.
He was brought on the show after Jason opened the episode asking if there was “a guy version of the mommy makeover.” There was not, technically, but the conversation that followed covered the full history of plastic surgery, who it helps, who it doesn’t, and what three decades of talking to patients teaches you about the gap between what people think they want and what actually changes their lives.
Jason’s intro: “I’m thinking about having some work done.” Kathy’s response: “Did you hit 200,000 miles or something?”
