Meet graduating chief resident Ricardo “Ricky” Amador, MD 🎓
Originally from San Ramon, California, Ricardo attended UC Irvine and worked at Johns Hopkins before earning his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He then completed six years of plastic surgery training across the Mass General Brigham system, developing a particular passion for aesthetic surgery—especially rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation.
A highlight of Ricardo’s chief year was the opportunity to take on increasingly complex cases, learn from exceptional mentors, and guide patients through deeply personal surgical journeys. He is especially grateful for the co-residents, fellows, attendings, nurses, PAs, OR teams, and staff who made the long days meaningful and the most challenging cases memorable.
After graduation, Ricardo will return home to Southern California, where he will join a private practice and continue building a career centered on thoughtful, individualized aesthetic plastic surgery.
Congratulations, Dr. Amador! 🎉
