He also reviewed guidelines for selecting a competent cosmetic surgeon including certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, membership in the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and experience in the specific procedure being requested.

Interview with Bryant Gumble on CBS Early Show
Dr. Rapaport appeared nationally on the CBS Early Show where he was invited to discuss the phenomena of teenagers seeking cosmetic surgery in increasing numbers. During the interview he explained that although the absolute number of teenagers seeking cosmetic surgery has increased, their proportion in relation to the overall population having cosmetic surgery has actually decreased. While Dr. Rapaport does not advocate cosmetic surgery for teenagers as a "quick fix", and feels it needs to be looked at as a serious procedure, he does feel that there are appropriate candidates for cosmetic surgery in this age group, particularly in the late teens.

Dr. Rapaport has also been featured on Extra, which produced a story on his use of Ultrasonic Liposuction for male breast reduction, and in a recent issue of Glamour Magazine where he discussed the aesthetics of breast surgery and nipple sensitivity. His work has also been seen on NY1, The Health Network, and in The New York Times.
