Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Franziska Huettner, who serves patients in New York.
An accomplished plastic surgeon, Dr. Huettner is an expert in providing facial, body and breast surgeries and finds fulfillment in helping her patients feel confident, happy, and beautiful. Offering world class plastic surgery with a personal touch in Manhattan, her private offices are conveniently located in the Upper East Side just two short blocks from Central Park.
With combined medical and medical science doctorates, dual board certifications, training at internationally acclaimed institutions and a reputation for highly customized care and results, Dr. Huettner offers a truly exceptional experience as patients pursue their aesthetic goals. Her specialties include breast and body surgeries, including mommy makeovers, tummy tucks and breast lifts, augmentations and reconstructions.
Drawn to plastic surgery for its ability to change patients’ lives for the better, she has seen first-hand how her patients look at themselves in a different light after surgery: they are happier, more confident and more comfortable with themselves, whether they underwent a full mommy makeover or had simple non-surgical facial injections.
She strives to help every patient feel like the best version of themselves, by creating beauty and restoring function through cosmetic services tailored to each individual.
With a goal to make each patient feel like they have their own personal plastic surgeon, Dr. Huettner believes deeply in the individuality of aesthetics: she knows that every patient has a different ideal outcome, which can only be achieved with custom approaches and treatments. She takes the time to meet with each person face-to-face, getting to know not only their cosmetic wants and needs, but also the aspects of their life outside of her office that may influence their best outcomes.
She provides the same high level of care at every phase of treatment, from the first consultation through recovery and beyond. No matter what concerns her patients may have, she is available to speak with them, answer their questions, and ensure they are comfortable. She is respectful of her patients’ lives, schedules, and time restraints and prefers a treatment model that offers her patients as much accommodation and one-on-one attention as possible.
Raised by physician parents in Germany, Dr. Huettner followed their footsteps into medicine. She attended medical school at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena before moving to the United States to pursue further training. She completed two residencies, one in general surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and another in plastic surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine.
After a prestigious fellowship in aesthetic plastic surgery and one year in practice at the Cleveland Clinic, she held a three-year position at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. In 2017, she moved to Manhattan to pursue her own practice. She has since created a niche among exclusive clientele seeking a private experience with a top-caliber plastic surgeon.
Building her reputation for excellence with every procedure performed, Dr. Huettner is affiliated with several local hospitals, including Lenox Hill Hospital and St. Barnabas Hospital, and performs surgical procedures at several accredited facilities in Manhattan. She works with local patients as well as those who choose to travel for surgery. She frequently works with international patients who seek New York’s world-class care and take advantage of the city’s traveler-friendly amenities.
With a high level of passion and personalization, she is board-certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.
In addition to being a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), Dr. Huettner is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons, the New York Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
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.
Named one of New York’s Top Docs in 2019 and 2020, Dr. Huettner is sought out by patients from across the globe for her mastery of state-of-the-art plastic surgery techniques. They appreciate the natural results and individual care she delivers for each and every patient who walks through her doors.
On a more personal note, she is bilingual in English and German.
