Dr. Rosiane Roeder may be a small town plastic surgeon in Hickory, North Carolina, but there is nothing "small town" about this lady! She is an accomplished physician and board certified plastic surgeon, one of the only 13% of plastic surgeons who are women.  Dr. Roeder performs the usual elective plastic surgery treatments we all know about, but she also helps people who are disfigured or have physical abnormalities feel whole and normal again.  We talk about Dr. Roeder's path to surgery, specifically plastic surgery (she almost became an infectious disease doctor!) and other issues such as the stigma associated with plastic surgery, using plastic surgery to feel more confident, and more detailed  information about some of the more common aesthetic treatments such as Botox and injectables.
