About

Dr. Richard O. Gregory is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Celebration, Florida. His practice has served Central Florida since 1996, offering both surgical and non-surgical transformations. Dr. Gregory is passionate about investing in skin quality, stating that "skin quality is everything" and "healthy skin will always be in." His aesthetic philosophy centers on "enhancing what’s already there" rather than changing a patient's natural features. Dr. Gregory highlights laser resurfacing as a favorite method to boost skin quality, explaining it works by creating controlled injury to stimulate collagen remodeling, leading to improved texture, tone, and softened fine lines. He customizes treatments like UltraClear laser based on individual skin, treatment area, and patient goals, addressing concerns from pigmentation to overall skin quality. For injectables, he notes that options like fillers and Sculptra have different functions but can be combined, and he helps patients build a personalized treatment plan based on their anatomy, goals, and timeline. He aims for every patient to feel heard, cared for, comfortable, and confident.

Sourced directly from Dr. Richard O. Gregory's social posts and replies.

What is the healing journey like after laser resurfacing?
The initial healing journey involves redness, swelling, crusting, and peeling in the first few days. Pinkness and swelling can be normal even at 6 weeks post-laser. Downtime is temporary, but healing time and results vary depending on the patient, the laser used, and treatment depth.
Source →
How does laser resurfacing work?
Laser resurfacing works by creating controlled injury to the skin, which triggers the natural healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling.
Source →
How long do laser resurfacing results take to fully appear?
While the skin surface may heal relatively quickly, the 'magic' of collagen remodeling and improved results continues beneath the skin for weeks to months, as collagen is a 'long game' and results build over time.
Source →
What is the difference between Sculptra and dermal fillers?
The choice between Sculptra and filler depends on the patient's goals. Filler adds targeted volume and definition, while Sculptra works gradually by stimulating the patient's own collagen production for a more progressive restoration. They are different treatments with different functions but can complement each other beautifully in the right treatment plan.
Source →
When is the best time to start laser treatments?
Fall is considered one of the best times to start laser treatments due to typically less sun exposure and more time for skin recovery. This also allows ample time to plan a treatment series before spring and summer, tailoring the plan to individual skin goals.
Source →
What is the practice's approach to perioral rejuvenation?
Perioral rejuvenation involves more than just treating lines. The practice often combines SKINVIVE™ with strategically placed lip filler to address the area from multiple angles. SKINVIVE™ improves hydration, smoothness, and overall skin quality throughout the perioral area. Lip filler restores subtle volume and structure to the lips, providing support to surrounding tissue and softening perioral lines, rather than simply chasing individual lines. The goal is to restore support, improve skin quality, and rejuvenate the entire area while maintaining natural features, not to make lips look bigger.

What are the benefits of UltraClear laser treatment?
UltraClear laser treatment is highly customizable, allowing adjustment of depth and intensity based on skin type, treatment area, and patient goals. It can address pigmentation, texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and overall skin quality, resulting in a glow and collagen remodeling. The downtime is considered worthwhile for the results achieved.
Source →
What are the general benefits of SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ works beneath the skin's surface to improve cheek smoothness and hydration without adding noticeable volume, resulting in refreshed, healthy-looking skin that still looks natural.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$101

Payments

4

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Richard O. Gregory received $101 across 4 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
