J. Douglas Cusick, MD, FACS

The practice is run by board certified plastic surgeon J. Douglas Cusick, who sees patients at an office in the Leawood Executive Center, near College Boulevard and Roe Avenue and reachable from Interstate 435. Patients can call to book a consultation, which is the first step. At that visit, the surgeon hears what the patient is hoping for before recommending anything, and an estimate is given once a surgical plan has been discussed. Cost depends on the procedure or combination of procedures chosen.

Surgical procedures are performed at Shawnee Mission Surgery Center and Surgicenter of Johnson County, and the surgeon operates only in accredited medical facilities, according to the practice. Minor procedures are done in the Leawood office. Recovery time varies by procedure, from about a week to several weeks. Patients must quit smoking several weeks before and after cosmetic surgery, and need an adult to drive them home and stay with them for 24 to 48 hours.

The surgical menu covers breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction (including for men), arm, body, thigh and tummy procedures, liposuction, a mommy makeover, calf and pectoral implants, facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, chin surgery, neck lift and facial implants. Reconstructive options include breast reconstruction, carpal tunnel and hand surgery, cleft lip and palate treatment, scar revision, skin cancer treatment, tissue expansion and wound care.

Non-surgical treatments include Botox Cosmetic for frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet and thick neck bands, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, injectable soft-tissue fillers, laser skin resurfacing, sclerotherapy for spider veins, and general skin management. Financing is available for procedures through Med Loan Finance, and the practice accepts cash, check, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. The practice also offers a free plastic surgery guide to download from its website.

The practice describes personal attention as its hallmark and says it works under a strict code of ethics. It has been recognized by Castle Connolly (named a Top Doctor in 2017), AIPS, Ingrams, Consumer Research America and the AMA, and the Kansas Department of Commerce gave it a 2023 To The Stars Award for its contributions to the Kansas economy and community. These are the practice's own claims.

Each plan starts with a consultation to hear the patient's concerns, followed by careful planning and a long-held surgical philosophy.
