Unlike the vast majority of plastic surgeons, Dr. Friedman personally performs every surgical and every non-surgical procedure in his practice. He has performed thousands of Botox and Restylane injections and hundreds of earlobe repairs and eyelid surgeries, and he is nationally recognized for his expertise in liposuction under the chin. As an experienced plastic surgeon and wood and marble sculptor, Dr. Friedman understands the importance of making you look refreshed, natural, and not overdone.
Botox Cosmetic and Dysport Treatment
Botox and Dysport are nonsurgical facial injectables that temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.

We use a potent numbing ointment. Cost is $14/unit or $350 per syringe. Recovery time is 24 hours.

Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove unwanted deposits of fat from beneath the chin and improve jawline definition. Dr. Friedman performs an average of 40 of these procedures annually, and he is nationally recognized for his experience and surgical results, drawing patients from around the United States. (See his realself reviews.) The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the office, requires a single ¼” incision, and takes about an hour. Cost is $3150 for the area beneath chin and $3500 to include the jawline. Recovery time is 2 to 4 weeks.

Lip Augmentation

Cost starts at $620 for fillers, $2,700 for upper or lower, and $3,900 for upper and lower lip implants. Typical recovery time is 3 to 5 days for injections and 2 weeks for lip implants.

Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a procedure used to improve nasal contour by adding injectable fillers, most commonly Restylane. It temporarily improves contour issues involving the upper and middle aspects of the nose by adding volume at a fraction of the cost of surgery. Dr. Friedman believes that, in the appropriate patient, nonsurgical rhinoplasty is actually more precise than surgical rhinoplasty. Cost is $590. Recovery time is 3 to 5 days.

Earlobe Surgery
Earlobe surgery addresses torn or gauged earlobes or desire for earlobe size reduction. Dr. Friedman has performed hundreds of earlobe procedures, and for your convenience, he generally repierces the earlobes (at no additional charge) at the same time. With meticulous technique, most scars are inconspicuous (see photo gallery). Cost starts at $550 for one earlobe and $995 for both earlobes. Recovery time is 2 weeks.

Otoplasty/Ear Pinning Surgery
Otoplasty pins back prominent ears, correcting deformities and reshaping ears. Dr. Friedman limits incisions to the back side of the ears, so that the surgical scars are hidden. He reshapes the cartilage with permanent sutures and frequently removes small portions of prominent cartilage to permanently reshape the ears. Both children and adults can be treated. Cost starts at $6950. Recovery time is 4 to 6 weeks.

Eyelid Lift Surgery
Eyelid lift surgery improves upper and/or lower eyelid contour through the removal of excessive skin and bulging fat, making the eyelids appear less tired and more youthful. Hooding and asymmetry of the upper eyelids may also be addressed. Scars are located in or near the upper lid creases and/or just beneath the lower eyelid lashes. Cost starts at $5,450. Recovery time is 2 to 4 weeks.
