In this interview, we sit down with Dr. Jerry "Chiddy" Chidester, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, to discuss what it really takes to do the things he does and why being board certified matters. Dr. Chiddy shares valuable insights into his work, especially his passion for helping women regain confidence, particularly those who have had children, through procedures like breast augmentation, and tummy tucks. We also touch on his creative side and his social media presence.
