In Dr. Michael Suzman's own words

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

Approach

  • The most important thing I want for my patients is a combination of naturalness and safety that leads to a long-lasting result
  • A facelift, to me, isn’t about changing your face, it’s about preserving who you are while softening the effects of time

Specialization

  • Dr. Michael Suzman's practice most commonly performs reduction rhinoplasty.
  • Dr. Sussman here, board certified plastic surgeon, talking about nose jobs and rhinoplasty, a passion of mine

Technique

  • So when we manipulate both the skin and work on the muscle and fat pad layer, that's the deep plane. So if you can elevate that deep plane and lift it vertically, we're restoring some of the tissues that have fallen with time
  • The most common way I perform rhinoplasty is an open approach, and it heals beautifully

Technology

  • Dr. Michael Suzman's office uses the Sciton laser for skin procedures.

Training & credentials

  • So in 2000, the year 2000, that's 26 years ago, I was training as a fellow at New York Hospital, Cornell, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan

Consultation

  • So that is my renovate your kitchen and facelift analogy and I think that kind of helps describe the different options for you so you can decide how much recovery do I want? How much intensity of change do I want?

Recovery guidance

  • I want you to emphasize leafy green vegetables, lean proteins, along with that good hydration

Safety

  • Dr. Michael Suzman's practice prioritizes avoiding nosebleeds during rhinoplasty.

Results

  • Because the best results are the ones that go unnoticed, where people simply see you looking well
