Summary

  • I am a board-certified plastic surgeon with sub-specialty training in cleft lip/palate and craniofacial surgery. My practice is almost exclusively dedicated to aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face both in children and adults: cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, rare birth defects of the face, rhinoplasty, facial trauma, cancer reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, face-lift, nasal reconstruction, burn surgery, Poland syndrome and secondary reconstruction of the face. As Director of Cleft Lip and Palate at NYU Langone Medical Center, I lead a multidisciplinary team of specialists within one of the most comprehensive units in the country. My treatment philosophy blends the principles and techniques of both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in all my patients to provide an optimized and customized surgical plan.
