About My Practice

Many people from out of town and from other countries come to our office in Manhattan for cosmetic surgery. So, we have structured my practice to make it easy for an out of town and international population. I see patients from Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. We have special arrangements with local hotels and trained private nurses to take care of you after surgery. Twenty percent of our patients are men.

During your consultation, you will learn about plastic surgery, about my credentials, and about my practice. If you are well informed, you will feel confident and secure with your operation. It has actually been shown that patients who have a lot of trust in their surgeon recover more easily and more quickly.

My staff and I will give you individual attention and ample time. This enables me to determine what is best for you and to explain it to you thoroughly. If both you and I decide on surgery, we will then guide you through the entire process, from preoperative consultation to final healing.

You may not need surgery at all. Instead, you may benefit from several non-invasive treatments that we offer such as:

• Injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, and collagen which can eliminate folds and wrinkles, plump lips, and - even more importantly - restore the upper cheek fullness of youth.
• Botox injections to lift the eyebrows; correct forehead lines, frown lines, and smile lines; lift the corners of the mouth; and correct neck bands.
• Thermage skin tightening and contouring which is particularly effective for the jowl area as well as for arms, abdomen (in some women it can eliminate the need for a tummy tuck), and thighs.
• Microlaser peels
• Dermaplanning
• Intelligent and simple at home skin care regimens

Significant improvement can be achieved with no down time.

The plastic surgeon has to have a good eye and he has to be very compulsive. Skill and judgment come with experience. Plastic surgery is like sculpture; it requires meticulous attention to detail and as much time as necessary to get the best possible result. So you will never be rushed through surgery. I don't do more than the three operations in one day for this reason.

What I offer is safe, state of the art surgery without exaggerated claims. We tailor the surgical plan to the individual patient and I only perform operations that have been proven to be safe and effective. There has been tremendous progress in minimally invasive surgery. We emphasize procedures with a short recovery period.

My highest priority is to leave you looking absolutely natural. AND I PERFORM ALL SURGERY ON MY PATIENTS MYSELF.

Of course, many of our patients come from Manhattan and the other four boroughs of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx. Many patients also come from the suburbs of New York: Great Neck, Woodmere, and other towns in Nassau County; Suffolk County; Greenwich, Westport, and other towns in Connecticut; White Plains, Pound Ridge, Scarsdale, Bedford, Larchmont, Katonah and other towns in Westchester County; Putnam County; Short Hills, Alpine, Princeton and other towns in Northern and Central New Jersey.

Some patients fly in from all over the country. We regularly see patients from Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel, and Egypt.

Because I am fluent in Spanish, I attract patients from all over Latin America especially Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela.
