About

Dr. Svetlana M. Danovich, MD, PhD, FACS, is a Triple Board-Certified General Surgeon practicing in New York, including Manhattan and Great Neck. She holds an MD and PhD, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (FAACS). Dr. Danovich believes cosmetic surgery restores harmony after natural changes like aging, weight shifts, or pregnancy, rather than chasing perfection. Her goal is to bring anatomy back to a balanced, refreshed state without altering a patient's identity. She emphasizes that exceptional healing begins in the operating room, utilizing precise surgical techniques and gentle tissue handling. Her approach focuses on precise tissue alignment to ensure features appear naturally rejuvenated, protect patient wellness, and result in a timeless, beautifully balanced profile. For procedures like abdominoplasty, which she customizes to restore appearance, confidence, and body proportions, she prioritizes foundational surgical principles to prevent an over-corrected look and achieve timeless outcomes. She also performs upper blepharoplasty, sometimes combined with PICO laser resurfacing for pigmentation and skin texture, and carefully performs gynecomastia procedures, especially for adolescents, after appropriate medical evaluation.

However, swelling is still present, and the scar will continue to soften and fade over the next 9–12 months. As healing progresses, the results will become even more refined.
