Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David L. Abramson

Sourced directly from Dr. David L. Abramson's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Abramson's approach to facelift surgery, and what results can patients expect?
Dr. Abramson emphasizes modern facelift techniques that address the deeper SMAS layer beneath the skin, rather than just the surface, to achieve a refreshed, natural look without the 'windblown' appearance associated with outdated methods. He believes a well-performed facelift should make patients look great for their age, with most people not realizing surgery was done. He also stresses that a surgeon's skill is paramount over any specific 'brand name' of a procedure, and that the stereotype of the 'windblown' facelift persists because outdated techniques are still being used.

What are the benefits and indications for breast reduction surgery with Dr. Abramson?
Dr. Abramson considers breast reduction one of the most life-changing procedures he performs, addressing common patient concerns like chronic back and shoulder pain, bra strap grooves, and ill-fitting clothes. Signs that may indicate qualification include chronic upper back pain, neck pain, posture changes, and rashes under the breast crease. Patients often report realizing how much energy they previously spent managing discomfort within weeks of surgery.

Is breast reduction surgery covered by insurance?
Breast reduction procedures are often partially covered by insurance.
Source →
Where does Dr. Abramson perform cosmetic surgeries, and what safety measures are in place?
Dr. Abramson performs cosmetic surgeries in a hospital setting at Englewood Health, where he is Chief of Plastic Surgery. This ensures access to board-certified anesthesiologists and full emergency support. He emphasizes that the operating room is built for safety, not aesthetics, and advises patients to prioritize a surgeon's operating location over office decor when making their choice, as patient safety is the foundation of care.
Source →
What is Dr. Abramson's philosophy on liposuction, and who is an ideal candidate?
Dr. Abramson considers liposuction the most misunderstood procedure, clarifying that its primary function is body contouring, not weight loss. It's designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat in areas like the flanks, inner thighs, under the chin, and bra line that exercise cannot reach. The best candidates are at a stable weight, have good skin elasticity, and seek to refine, rather than transform, their shape. He stresses that achieving a stable weight should always precede liposuction for effective results, and warns against surgeons who market it for weight loss.

What is the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift, and which might be right for me?
Dr. Abramson clarifies that breast implants add volume but do not address sagging. Many women seeking augmentation may actually need a breast lift, or both, especially after significant weight loss or breastfeeding which changes breast tissue shape. Only a lift can restore breast shape in these cases, and implants alone may not fulfill expectations if a lift is also required.
Source →
What is Dr. Abramson's pre-operative process and why is it so strict?
Dr. Abramson emphasizes that patient safety begins long before the first incision. Every surgical candidate at Englewood Health undergoes a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation, including assessing cardiovascular health, reviewing medications that affect bleeding or healing, and screening for conditions that might complicate surgery or recovery. A strict requirement is documented smoking cessation weeks in advance, as tobacco is a medical necessity to stop due to its impact on healing, increased infection risk, and potential for tissue death. This thorough process is designed to protect patients and optimize outcomes, as surgery cannot succeed if the body is not properly prepared to heal. He advises that a surgeon who insists on strict pre-operative protocols is one who takes patient safety seriously.
