In Dr. Elazar Sofer's own words

How Dr. Elazar Sofer describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • It's gonna change your life, because your eyes is everything in your face

Specialization

  • The practice performs ptosis repair.
  • The doctor performs Extended Deep Plane Facelifts.
  • The doctor performs Browlifts.
  • The doctor performs Upper Eyelid Surgery.

Technique

  • We're going to trim the hair around his ears, put the molds on, and he'll have those on for about four weeks
  • One of the most important parts of doing a brow lift is you want to make sure the incision is in the hair. That way the hair grows into the incisions. So you're a month out and already hair is growing into the incisions and you won't be able to see where the incisions are
  • Dr. Elazar Sofer's practice performs non-surgical ear molding, particularly for infants who are only a week old.

About

Dr. Elazar Sofer is a Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Beverly Hills, California. He focuses on achieving a natural aesthetic in all his procedures, including facelifts, rhinoplasty, and face contouring. For rhinoplasty, Dr. Sofer emphasizes that the restoration of self-confidence and function are the most important outcomes, noting that the nose will continue to improve for 1-2 years post-operation as swelling and scar tissue resolve. When performing injectables like lip filler, he believes using less filler leads to better, more natural aesthetic results. Dr. Sofer often performs procedures such as neck liposuction, some eyelid surgeries, and earpinning surgery using only local anesthesia. He also details that browlift incisions are camouflaged within the hair and fade over time. His approach aims for results that are both subtle and transformative.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Elazar Sofer

Sourced directly from Dr. Elazar Sofer's social posts and replies.

What is earmolding?
Earmolding is a nonsurgical process used to mold the shape of infant ears without surgery.
Where are browlift incisions located?
Browlift incisions are camouflaged within the hair.
What is the long-term appearance of browlift incisions?
Over time, hair will grow into browlift incisions and the incisions will fade away.
How soon can initial results be seen after SeptoRhinoplasty and Lower Eyelid Surgery with Fat Transposition?

Yes, Dr. Sofer performs rhinoplasty for complex cases, including those where a cleft palate has impacted the appearance and function of the nose.
When is earmolding most effective?

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$83

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Elazar Sofer received $83 across 2 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MERZ NORTH AMERICA, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
