Trust Your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon
Have you ever wished that one of your best friends was a top cosmetic surgeon and would tell you everything you really wanted to know about cosmetic enhancements? Someone that knew you, would really listen to you and tell you the truth? I'll let you in on a little secret... there is no reason why your doctor can't be interested in your life, remember the name of your significant other and help you understand the options, weigh the real benefits and risks and help provide you the effective tools to fight the aging process gracefully. It is possible to find a successful doctor who graduated at the top of her medical school class and yet still spends time talking to her patients. Someone who knows we all have the same questions - which products are hype and which will make a difference in our appearance, when products alone aren't enough and how cosmetic surgery can help in sum, how to look our best. Whether you are in need of a facelift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, a browlift or injectables, I can guide you through the process to educate you so we can make the best decision in order to accomplish your goals.
"Patient Care, trust & satisfaction are my utmost concern"
Well now you have that friend and physician in me. As a woman and a surgeon, I have based my practice on providing the kind of outstanding surgical care that I demand for myself and my loved ones. I believe that patients have a right to a dedicated and caring physician who delivers personal attention, speaks clearly and sincerely, and provides meticulous medical care. With the right relationship, you can feel confident and comfortable about yourself and the surgical decisions you make. Patient care, trust and satisfaction with results are my utmost concern. Welcome to my practice. I look forward to caring for you.
It's okay to look your age... just look fabulous for your age!

I am a 32 year old woman in Manhattan and have a very large forehead. Is there any way to lower my hairline? It really bothers me.
You are not alone! Many women come to me looking for more information regarding a hairline advancement or a hairline lowering procedure. It is basically a hair transplant along the hairline. Assuming you have good “donor” hair (the hair we harvest from the back of the head to move forward), we would individually place follicular unit grafts, one by one, along the hairline, resulting in a natural, undetectable result. The skill level and experience of your surgeon are very important with any hairline work.
Please help! I have two small spots on my chin where the hair no longer grows. I am a 42 year old man in New York and have always had facial hair. Is there any way to correct this? I noticed it about two years ago. Thank you!
While I would likely have to examine you to offer a medical evaluation, it sounds to me that you have some sort of scarring or trauma to that area which has hindered the hair growth. Have you looked into hair restoration for the face and body? It is basically a hair transplant and instead of placing the hair on your head, we would fill in the gaps to your facial hair. We perform facial hair transplants routinely. Please feel free to call our office for a consultation.
As a 23 year old female in NY, I had been wearing hair extensions for years – it seemed everyone was! My hair started to thin and the extensions seemed to be damaging to my hair so I eventually took them out. I want to restore the thickness of my hair ASAP – what do you think about synthetic hair implants?
Theses “synthetic hair implants” are bad news. The risk of infection is incredibly high, they can irritate the scalp and, in the USA, are illegal. I would not recommend them. Consult with a hair loss physician to see what other options are available and what treatments/procedures you may be a candidate for.
