We’re excited to share that Dr. Richard Tyrell and Dr. Eva Dentcheva are now members of The Aesthetic Society, a respected organization for board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery. For our patients, it’s another way to know our team at Rivé Plastic Surgery has been recognized by peers in the field for their excellence in cosmetic surgery and patient care.
Joining The Aesthetic Society takes so much more than filling out a form. Surgeons must hold board certification through the American Board of Plastic Surgery, complete additional training focused on aesthetic procedures, and be sponsored by current members who can speak directly to their work and ethics. For Dr. Tyrell and Dr. Eva, this membership reflects years of training and a continued commitment to the kind of careful, patient-centered care our practice is built around.
What this means for you and other members of our Reno community is simple. You don’t have to travel far to find plastic surgeons whose work has been reviewed by leading professionals in cosmetic surgery. That caliber of care is here, right at home.
What Membership in The Aesthetic Society Means
The Aesthetic Society was founded in 1967 and has long been one of the more selective professional organizations for cosmetic plastic surgeons in the country. It has also helped shape the industry for over 50 years. Its members focus specifically on aesthetic surgery of the face and body, and the organization plays an active role in research, education, and patient safety standards.
For members, that translates to ongoing access to current research, peer collaboration on complex cases, and continuing education in the latest aesthetic techniques. The Aesthetics Society also publishes the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, a leading peer-reviewed publication in the field, and hosts an annual meeting where members present new approaches and outcomes data. For patients, the value is indirect but real: when you sit down with Dr. Tyrell or Dr. Eva for a consultation, you’re working with surgeons whose practice is informed by the most current standards in cosmetic surgery, not just the training they completed years ago.
“Joining The Aesthetic Society isn’t about hanging another certificate on the wall; it’s about bringing the absolute forefront of surgical safety and artistry directly into our operating rooms and clinic every single day.
Being selected to be a part of this elite national society means my patients are getting the benefits of real-time peer collaboration and the most rigorously vetted clinical research available. In practice, that shows up in the details: it means utilizing advanced management protocols that significantly reduce recovery times, and adopting refined tissue-handling techniques that minimize scarring and optimize regenerative healing.
When a patient walks through our doors, they deserve to know that their care plan isn’t based on what worked years ago, but on the safest, most sophisticated advancements happening in aesthetic medicine right now.” Dr. Eva Dentcheva, MD, FACS
Setting a New Standard for Plastic Surgery in Reno
We opened Rivé with a clear goal: a practice where patients feel genuinely cared for, where the surgical plan is built around your anatomy and your goals, and where the artistry of the work is taken as seriously as the science. Membership in The Aesthetic Society reinforces that our team is connected to the leading edge of aesthetic medicine, not just because of their education and experience (which is immense), but because of the continued work Dr. Tyrell and Dr. Eva put into advancing our field.
When you choose Rivé, you can expect:
- The latest advancements and techniques in aesthetic surgery that are informed and supported by ongoing research, peer collaboration, and the most current outcomes data in the field.
- Peer collaboration and constant skill refinement as our surgeons regularly engage with leading aesthetic surgeons nationwide.
- A safety-first, evidence-based approach, meaning that every surgical decision is grounded in established clinical standards and the utmost care of patient protocols.
- Personalized and natural-looking results because our entire team builds each plan around your anatomy, your goals, and your definition of natural.
What sets Rivé apart? It isn’t one credential or one technique. It’s the consistency of care, from your first consultation to your final follow-up, from Dr. Eva, Dr. Tyrell, and every member of our amazing team.
Why Our Membership in The Aesthetic Society Matters for Your Aesthetic Journey
Credentials aren’t the whole story, but they’re a critical chapter in ours. They tell you who has put in the work to earn your trust before earning your business. Knowing your surgeon belongs to The Aesthetic Society gives you a few specific things to count on: ongoing education in current techniques, adherence to the Society’s standards on patient consent and post-op care, and access to a peer network that informs every surgical plan.
What matters most, however, is how you feel through the process. We want you to leave every appointment with your questions answered and the comfort of knowing you’re in good hands
When you schedule a consultation at Rivé, feel free to ask us directly about our training, our outcomes, or anything you’d like to understand better. Those conversations not only make for a better surgical journey, but also better transparency and trust.Ready to Take the Next Step? Schedule your consultation today.
