Patients from around the world seek out Dr. Levine for his smart and subtle approach, which can produce exceptional results that are transformational, yet discreet. “The goal of plastic surgery should be to fix what might be wrong, return to a more youthful state, and boost one’s confidence. It should never look like you have had plastic surgery” expressed the doctor. 

Sometimes that takes a combination of surgeries and treatments, one of Dr. Levine’s specialties. Understanding that each patient has individual goals and a unique anatomy, he combines exceptional technical skill with an artistic eye and a deep understanding of overall aesthetic harmony. He can tailor a personalized plan for each patient that not only taps into his vast knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery, but also takes advantage of the expertise of his wife and partner, Dr. Jody Alpert Levine, a renowned dermatologist. Together, they are able to offer patients a truly customized approach that combines the most advanced surgical, laser, and minimally invasive techniques for outstanding cosmetic rejuvenation.

Taking an honest and direct approach, Dr. Levine uses his artistic eye and steady hand to help each patient achieve his or her cosmetic goals, while stressing beautiful, youthful, and natural-looking results.

He also offers the most advanced, scarless, hair restoration and laser facelift technology at his immaculate AAAASF certified in-office surgical suite.

Dr. Levine graduated from Columbia College with a 4.0 GPA, earning the distinctions of Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude. He earned his medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine, graduating Cum Laude and finishing in the top 10% of his class. He then continued his training at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, first in general surgery and then in plastic and reconstructive surgery, where he currently serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery. He also completed an aesthetic fellowship at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he is now an Associate Adjunct Surgeon. 

He is one of the few plastic surgeons in New York City who was selected to complete an advanced aesthetic fellowship beyond his plastic surgery training. He has published scholarly papers in prestigious plastic surgery journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery, and The Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery.
