  • What is the recovery period after a facelift?

    It depends to some degree on the extensiveness of the procedure and the individual need. My techniques are customized to the individual sometimes integrating fat transfer or laser resurfacing. With that being said, the general recovery until one can go out in public and no one will know that you had surgery ranges from two to three weeks. If someone can work remotely from home, they can return to work in one week. READ MORE

  • What are the different types of facelift procedures?

    There are many different types of facelifts described. I generally customize the operation for what the patient may benefit from. Often that involves repositioning the SMAS foundation layer of the face, tightening or repositioning some of the muscles of the neck and redraping the skin. I often integrate fat transfer and laser treatments to polish off the results and maximize a natural and long lasting result.

  • How to fix eye bags?

    If they are mild, one can camouflage the puffiness by adding filler below that to soften the contour issue. This is best when it is mild and lessons but does not eliminate the issue. For a permanent correction, redraping the fat to smooth it out in conjunction with tightening the lower lid through a trans-conjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty and canthal tightening works well. If there are also fine lines, laser resurfacing can also help to perfect the result. READ MORE

  • Is eyelid surgery painful?

    Typically, eyelid surgery is not painful, whether it is upper lid, lower lid, or all four lids. The recovery might be mildly uncomfortable, but is rarely painful. Most people can return to social settings within 7 to 10 days after surgery.

  • How long will the swelling last after eyelid plastic surgery?

    Eyelids often swell significantly after blepharoplasty surgery. At the same time, the swelling typically resolves quickly. Most swelling is gone in most patients by approximately one week after surgery. Elevation, cool compresses, and rest help reduce swelling on time. READ MORE

Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Elie Levine, who serves patients in New York, New York.

Gifted, innovative, and sensitive are words patients use to describe Dr. Levine, one of New York’s top board-certified plastic surgeons and the Director of Plastic Surgery at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology of NYC.

Patients from around the world seek out Dr. Levine for his smart and subtle approach, which can produce exceptional results that are transformational, yet discreet. “The goal of plastic surgery should be to fix what might be wrong, return to a more youthful state, and boost one’s confidence. It should never look like you have had plastic surgery” expressed the doctor. 

Sometimes that takes a combination of surgeries and treatments, one of Dr. Levine’s specialties. Understanding that each patient has individual goals and a unique anatomy, he combines exceptional technical skill with an artistic eye and a deep understanding of overall aesthetic harmony. He can tailor a personalized plan for each patient that not only taps into his vast knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery, but also takes advantage of the expertise of his wife and partner, Dr. Jody Alpert Levine, a renowned dermatologist. Together, they are able to offer patients a truly customized approach that combines the most advanced surgical, laser, and minimally invasive techniques for outstanding cosmetic rejuvenation.

Taking an honest and direct approach, Dr. Levine uses his artistic eye and steady hand to help each patient achieve his or her cosmetic goals, while stressing beautiful, youthful, and natural-looking results.

With expertise in all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, he specializes in aesthetic surgery, including face, neck, brow, and eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, lipo-sculpting, breast augmentation and reduction, breast lifts, abdominoplasty, body contouring, fat grafting, and hair transplant surgery. He also offers the most advanced, scarless, hair restoration and laser facelift technology at his immaculate AAAASF certified in-office surgical suite.

Dr. Levine graduated from Columbia College with a 4.0 GPA, earning the distinctions of Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude. He earned his medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine, graduating Cum Laude and finishing in the top 10% of his class. He then continued his training at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, first in general surgery and then in plastic and reconstructive surgery, where he currently serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery. He also completed an aesthetic fellowship at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he is now an Associate Adjunct Surgeon. 

He is one of the few plastic surgeons in New York City who was selected to complete an advanced aesthetic fellowship beyond his plastic surgery training. He has published scholarly papers in prestigious plastic surgery journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery, and The Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery.

A member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Levine is board-certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The ABPS promotes safe, ethical, and efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education, examination, certification, and continuous certification of plastic surgeons as specialists and subspecialists.

Thanks to his impressive credentials, Dr. Levine is widely sought after by the media as an authority on the latest advances in the field of aesthetic surgery. He has been featured in national magazines, such as New Beauty, Avenue, and Allure, and television programs, including the Rachael Ray Show, Good Morning America, and the Dr. Steve Show. In addition to these featured appearances, he lends his expertise toward the development of new technologies, serving as an expert for Sciton lasers and Cynosure lasers. His pioneering work in hair transplant, laser skin tightening, and laser facelifts and breast lifts keeps him on the forefront of technology as he achieves ideal results for his patients.

On a more personal note, Dr. Levine resides in Manhattan with his wife and their five children, Skyler, Jasmine, Caitlin, William, and Jack.
