- ArthritisRheumatoid arthritis causes damage to the joints, tendons and ligaments, and can occur at any age. The typical treatment is medication to prevent severe inflammatory damage, but sometimes when medication isn’t effective, surgery can be an option. During the hand surgery, the synovium, or inflamed tissue, will be removed.
- Emergency CareKids and adults suffer injuries even more often in the summer months. Often the response is to rush to the emergency room. The sight of blood on your loved one makes a rational assessment of the situation difficult.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCleveland, Ohio – Do you hide your hands because they prematurely age you? Or do you suffer from constant pain, due to arthritis, carpal tunnel, tendon injuries or other issues? There is great news for you – Dr. Rodney Green, a plastic surgeon, is not only skilled in procedures that remove years from the look of your hands, but in restoring proper function to them as well.
- Ear Surgery
- Hand SurgeryA well-trained plastic surgeon will have the careful and meticulous technique needed to properly reconstruct the hand after these injuries. Dr. Green is so well-trained in this, he has even received the certificate of additional qualification for hand surgery from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which required extensive training and demonstration of his skills.
- Reconstructive SurgeryUsing fat grafts to enlarge breasts has actually been around since 1985, but with less than permanent results. Over time, though, the procedure has been fine-tuned and many women are pleased with their results years later. In fact, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, published a six year study showing that the procedure “led to significantly larger breast augmentations, with more fat graft placement, higher graft survival rates and minimal graft necrosis or complications.”
- BotoxBotox may be the solution. You read about celebrities turning to it to regain their youthful looks, but more and more people of every background are turning to it. In fact, it’s the most common minimally invasive procedure performed in the U.S.
- Eyelid Surgery
- LiposuctionSome plastic surgeons may try to recommend liposuction as another way to remove the pesky fat in your neck. Dr. Green advises against that, however. The fat could be deep or superficial, and if too much fat is removed from under the skin when the excess fat is actually found deeper, there will be an irregularity in the patient’s look. And the actual problem won’t be solved.
- Breast AugmentationCleveland, OH – For years, either saline or silicone implants have been the staple in breast augmentation procedures. But what if there were another way? Now there is – sometimes referred to as the “natural boob job,” women now have the option of choosing a fat grafting procedure to plump their breasts.
- RhinoplastyAreas of special interest include: liposuction, facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, thigh and buttock lift, calf implantation, and fat injection.
- Breast ReconstructionNot everyone is a candidate for this type of procedure, however. Especially thin women may not have fat on their bodies to transfer, and it can require a large amount of fat to have a noticeable difference on the bustline. However, there are many advantages, especially in the world of breast reconstruction. Patients who have had a lumpectomy are typically great candidates for the procedure, as are patients who may just be looking to fill out an unevenly sized breast. And for women who aren’t looking for a huge increase in bust size, but rather a more subtle filling out, fat grafting is a great option, as well.
- Plastic SurgeryIt is also one of the most risky plastic surgery procedures with several cases of death during surgery reported! (We have never had this happen in our practice ever.)
- Face LiftFacelifts reshape deep facial structures and remove extra skin tissue to provide a youthful appearance. Lax and saggy skin tissue is most often found in the lower half of the face and without surgery, nothing can be done to shrink it significantly. The skin must be repositioned, removed and repaired. A facelift and other procedures can help patients who have deep under-eye creases, deep forehead creases, drooping eyebrows, lowered cheek pads, saggy skin along the jaw line, double chins and flabby or drooping jowls. Injectables cannot achieve the degree of improvement or the lasting results that surgery can.
- Neck LiftCleveland, Ohio – Do you have what you refer to as a “turkey waddle” or sagging skin at your neck that you feel is prematurely aging you? A neck lift can offer a smooth and toned look to a neck that may be starting to lose its elasticity. You’ll feel younger and your friends will swear you not only look younger, but have also lost weight.
- Blepharoplasty
- Abdominoplasty
- Nose Surgery
- Breast Surgery“The Keller Funnel method of breast surgery was first introduced in 2009,” says Dr. Green, who performs plastic surgery in Ohio. “It utilizes a soft, sterile and single use instrument that delivers the silicone cohesive gel implants into the breast. I’ve been successfully using this technique and my patients and I love the results.”

- Cosmetic SurgeryDr. Green has been in practice in the Cleveland area for more than 30 years. His practice has included all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery including microsurgery and re-plantation, as well as complex reconstructive techniques. Over the last several years the practice has gradually tended more towards cosmetic surgery, and now Dr. Green is applying his skills increasingly to aesthetic surgery. Dr. Green has developed and modified surgical techniques to address cosmetic surgery problems, some of which have been published in professional journals. Each client is treated individually and a customized solution designed for their specific condition.
