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 also offers the most advanced, scarless, hair restoration and laser facelift technology at his immaculate AAAASF certified in-office surgical suite.
