Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Daniel Baker, who serves patients in New York, New York.
Dr. Baker is a prominent, New York-based plastic surgeon with a practice on the Upper East Side. Having been performing plastic surgery for over three decades, his early years were devoted to microsurgery and limb reattachment as well as head and neck cancer reconstruction. The past 20 years, the majority of his surgery has been aesthetic face, nose, eyelids, breast, body sculpting, and liposuction. However, he continues to dedicate time to facial cancer and facial paralysis reconstruction.
“Plastic surgery can accomplish major changes and improvements in the face, nose, eyes, breasts and body. If the proportions and aesthetic lines are kept normal, the results will be natural, which is what most patients desire. I perform all surgery myself without assistants, and you will look natural” expressed the doctor.
His hospital affiliations include Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan Eye, Ear And Throat Hospital, and Lenox Hill Hospital.
Having been teaching plastic surgeons for over 25 years, he has been invited to lecture and perform surgical demonstrations for plastic surgeons in over 30 countries around the world.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.
As a testament to his success, Dr. Baker has been the recipient of Patients’ Choice Award (2008, 2010, 2011, 2018, 2020), On-Time Doctor Award (2015, 2016, 2018, 2020), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2016, 2018, 2020).
