PRP or dermafillers?
First of all as a board certified Plastic Surgeon your asking a cosmologist? Really ? This is a doctor who took a weekend course on this and is is a self proclaimed expert.

I had a breast augmentation and lift done about 5 months ago and I'm so happy with results. Even need a tremendous amount of confidence and it changed my life. I had the surgery under local anesthesia, because I was afraid to lose more hair, each time I've gone under I've lost a lot of hair. Procedure went great, I did not feel anything and for the first time after surgery I did not lose any hair. I only wish I would have done this many years ago. If this interests you I would recommend you do it right away and definitely use Dr Gartner , he is the best!!!
- Sue
I had a horrible result with a previous surgeon and Dr. Gartner revised my breast implants with a lift and did an excellent job. The recovery was much easier and I love the results. His facility and staff are outstanding. I wish I would have gone to him the first time.

Dr. Gartner is an excellent skilled surgeon. I had a lipoma removed from my back under local anesthesia. I walked in and out of his clinic in about an hour then went to work the next day. I can't even see where he made the cut. Definitely recommend going Dr. Gartner.
- Crystal
I picked Dr Gartner after seeing 3 others in the area. He answered all my questions and found his staff to be very supportive. I had smart Lipo of the neck, it came out smooth and got rid of my double chin. I definately recommend Dr Gartner and his staff.
- Angela
Very Happy with Dr Gartner and his staff. I love my new shape, had a BBL 6 months ago. Dr. Gartner answered all my questions before and after. His staff was great , I would do it all over again, so glad my friend recommended him.
- Sophia
This was the second procedure Dr Gartner has done. He did my breast augmentation 6years ago, 5 months ago he did my BBL with Lipo 360. I have never looked better and felt better. My husband will not leave me alone. Dr. Gartner is the best, he is my plastic surgeon for life, he is definately worth it.

I had breast augmentation surgery with ideal implants 3 months ago and I'm very happy with the results. After doing my research I knew that the ideal implant was the one I wanted but I wasn't sure of the size. Dr. Gardner and his staff are experts and told me exactly what would give me the look I was looking for. I am extremely pleased with the results and the clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Gartner!
- Nancy
I am very happy with my experience with dr. Gartner. I had a facelift and breast augmentation with a lift performed 4 months ago and the results are better than I expected. I researched many plastic surgeons before I met with dr. Gartner and I could see all the kindness and compassion that I knew immediately he was the one. He answered all my questions and made me feel completely comfortable even explaining to me the problems that might occur. Even though I feel looking back I may have giving him a hard time because I didn't know what to expect I felt like a monster afterwards what is com tools meter always made me feel at ease. Even though I felt like I annoyed him with millions of questions in the first few weeks he was always there to answer them. Looking back he is not only a talented surgeon but also a person with a great deal of patience. Far as the results, everyone is complimenting me on how much younger I look. I do not feel ashamed but I keep on asking dr. Gartner for more business cards to hand out for people who are asking. This is something you're interested in doing for yourself I would highly recommend him.
- Bob
I had an excellentexperience with Dr Gartner. He removed a large lipoma from my back under local anesthesia. I was at his clinic less than an hour and drove home. I went to work the next day. It's bffeen 2 months and the scar is hard to see. Dr Gartner is great I recommend him to anyone with this problem.
- Jessica
I have nothing but the highest recommendation for Dr. Gartner. He fixed my breasts, I had breast augmentation a year-and-a-half Ago by another doctor with a terrible result. It left me deformed I wasn't the size I wanted to be and it was completely lopsided. Dr. Gartner fixed my breasts about 4 months ago and they are absolutely perfect. He was very professional and extremely honest with me throughout the whole process. I am so glad my friends recommended me to him I would never go anywhere else.
- Jimmy
I had a male breast reduction 4 months ago with Dr Gartner. The results are excellent. I am a nurse,so I am more critical to which surgeon to pick, that's why I chose Dr Gartner. I feel it was the best choice out of the top 10 surgeons I was considering. I have no regrets, it was definately worth it.
- Kelsey
Dr. Gartner is really good. I had a rhinoplasty done 4 months ago and the results are unbelievable!!! My appearance is so much better, I had a big hump which he removed and now my profile looks great. I am so happy!!!
- Cindy
Dr Gartner is the best!!! I had in a week breast augmentation done for months ago and I have two breasts I've always wanted. I can now fit into dresses and outfits that I could not before. I have three friends who had their done by Dr Gartner as well and I'm so glad they convinced me to do it. I only wish I would have done it sooner.

et to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Constantin Gartner, who serves patients in Paramus and Eatontown, New Jersey & Manhattan, New York.
Dr. Gartner is a top-rated, award-winning plastic surgeon & board-certified general surgeon. He founded Gartner Plastic Surgery and Laser Center in 2008, offering clients a beautiful Manhattan clinic location and two locations in New Jersey (Paramus and Eatontown), where he performs hundreds of breast augmentations yearly.
A meticulous surgeon who prides himself on attention to details, Dr. Gartner is extensively trained in an array of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures for the face and body. He continuously pushes the envelope in surgical techniques and procedures, using the latest non-invasive techniques, including performing surgeries while the patient is awake. Surgeries range from surgical procedures such as Brazilian butt lifts and breast augmentations to non-surgical procedures such as lip and Botox injections.
Double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, this means that Dr. Gartner has extensive knowledge of all areas of the body, from superficial soft tissues to internal organs, and has been trained to perform surgical procedures that target both areas for therapeutic and cosmetic improvement. As a result of this, he can handle very complex cases, including any complications that one may have experienced from other cosmetic surgeons.
World renowned as an innovator in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery, Dr. Gartner has refined his surgical techniques to provide a less invasive approach, so that the patient does not have to deal with lengthy, overly uncomfortable recovery periods. For example, it is the standard for general anesthesia to be administered during such procedures as breast augmentation, breast reduction and liposuction. However, with the advanced techniques that Dr. Gartner has designed, suitable patients may choose to have these procedures under local anesthetic instead.
With a broad educational background, Dr. Gartner received his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He completed a one-year rotating internship at Atlantic Medical Center, where he was the Chief Intern, followed by a five-year residency in general surgery at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, during which he was the Chief Resident in his final year.
After an initial interest in cardiothoracic surgery, Dr. Gartner pursued plastic surgery instead not only because of the diversity in surgical procedures, but also because it appealed to his artistic and creative sensibilities. To complement his training, he trained for an additional year in hand and microsurgery at the world renowned Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
Unmatched for his passion for his profession and his desire to achieve perfection, the doctor is fully certified as a plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and is fully certified as a general surgeon by the American Board of Surgery.
Recognized as one of the best surgeons in the Tri-State, New Jersey, Manhattan area, Dr. Gartner has hospital affiliations with the Valley Hospital (Ridgewood, New Jersey), Paramus Surgery Center (Paramus, New Jersey), and Tri State Surgery Center.
On a professional level, he is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the New York Regional Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons (Fellow), the American College of Surgeons – New Jersey Chapter, and the American Medical Association.
Remaining up to date with the latest in aesthetic plastic surgery, Dr. Gartner remains on the cusp of advancements not only in the United States, but in other countries as well. As a matter of fact, he was one of the first plastic surgeons in the country to perform Brazilian Butt Lifts, a procedure that he learned about while on a trip to South America performing charitable work for the national organization, Healing the Children.
Dr. Gartner refined the procedure by adding an extra step in the surgical process: purifying harvested fat with a handheld centrifuge. Doing so improves the longevity of the fat and its ability to “take” to the buttocks, making it an essential part of the surgery that is now routinely performed by other plastic surgeons today. In addition, when Dr. Gartner re-injects the fat to sculpt the buttocks, he uses a micro droplet technique that further improves longevity of results.
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.
At home and abroad, Dr. Gartner has volunteered his services to enrich the lives of others in need, most notably for Healing the Children, which provides critical healthcare to children in urgent need.
With a well-deserved reputation for providing his patients with the highest quality outcomes possible, Dr. Gartner has been repeatedly selected by Consumers’ Research Council of America as a top plastic surgeon in the country, as listed in Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons, editions dating from 2004-2013, as well as NJ Top Docs from 2013 to 2015.
As a native New Yorker who was raised in New Jersey, Dr. Gartner is a proud member of the community of Bergen County where he currently resides with his wife and four children. In his spare time, he enjoys painting and playing active sports with his children. He is also an avid skier and member of a local men’s hockey league.
