In Dr. Richard Wellington Swift's own words
How Dr. Richard Wellington Swift describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- Procedures performed at Richard Swift MD are never overdone.
- I would like to talk about two procedures that I often combine together. And the amazing part about this is that it gives exponentially better results than just doing one procedure at a time. And that is chin liposuction and buccal fat removal
Specialization
- I'd like to talk about facial balancing today, and that is a non-surgical treatment of the face to enhance and create more harmony in the face
Technique
- So these injectables are done different types, different amounts, and at different levels. This is what creates harmony and balance
- Usually, after about two weeks, most of the swelling and bruising have resolved because of the surgical technique that I use and also incorporating post-operative medication that I give for the first few days, and this significantly reduces the swelling
Training & credentials
- One thing I'd like to add to is that when a plastic surgeon often looks at a face as opposed to other injectors, we're very comfortable and familiar with the underlying anatomy
- Dr. Richard Swift, MD, is a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Consultation
- With Dr. Richard Swift, MD, your consultation can include a personalized discussion of implant size, profile, placement, and the overall look you want to achieve
Recovery guidance
- Dr. Richard Wellington Swift, MD, recommends head elevation, ice compresses, and avoiding strenuous activity to help speed up post-operative recovery.
- Number two, there's only one recovery. So you do these two procedures and recover at the same time. And the recovery is a short and easy recovery
Safety
- Dr. Richard Wellington Swift, MD, performs procedures in their accredited operating room.
Results
- Facelifts performed by Richard Swift, MD enhance natural facial contours.

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)
$64,893
Payments
30
Compared to peers
Substantially above average
Dr. Richard Wellington Swift received $64,893 across 30 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..
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?”
