Plastic Surgeon on Long Island & NYC
Long Island & Manhattan Cosmetic Surgeon
Dr. Arnold Breitbart is accomplished in the wide spectrum of plastic surgery. From his offices in Manhattan and Long Island, he provides renowned cosmetic surgery services to patients seeking abdominoplasty, Liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, face lift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, gynecomastia surgery, and other body contouring procedures. He also offers non-invasive treatments such as Restylane®, BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, and Voluma® injections.
Dr. Breitbart's office surgery center is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), which allows him to perform many of these cosmetic surgery procedures in his state-of-the-art operating suite. Dr. Breitbart has been a high-profile plastic surgeon for many years and has been featured in Glamour, Allure, Self, Newsday and on NBC news. Additionally, Dr. Breitbart has been honored repeatedly by Castle Connolly as one of the top plastic surgeons in the New York metropolitan area, and has been named by Newsday as one of the top plastic surgeons on Long Island.
Education, Experience, and Training
Dr. Arnold Breitbart graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University and obtained his medical degree from NYU School of Medicine. He completed his general surgery and plastic surgery residencies at NYU Medical Center, and went on to complete fellowships in craniofacial surgery at NYU Medical Center, and microsurgery and breast reconstruction at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
At the forefront of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Breitbart has published more than 40 articles and presented at more than 50 national and international plastic surgery conferences. Outside of his Manhattan and Long Island cosmetic surgery practices, Dr. Arnold Breitbart has academic appointments as Assistant Professor of Clinical Surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and at Weill Cornell University Medical College. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.
