Philosophy

Aside from depth and breadth of experience, other important things to know about a prospective cosmetic surgeon is their approach to personal care and their concept of beauty. It is Dr. Mittelman’s goal to individualize each consultation and facial surgical procedure. This requires a certain intuition and an understanding of the patient’s expectations, as well as the coordination of the patient’s objectives within the realm of what can be achieved safely. Dr. Mittelman strives to obtain the best aesthetic result possible within the context of safety and a natural, non-surgical look. He believes that cosmetic surgery can produce beautiful results, especially when these results are so natural that they are not obvious to others.

The Mittelman Extended Chin Implants and the Mittelman Pre-Jowl Implants are the most popular implants of their type in the United States and are used all over the world. Dr. Mittelman also pioneered the use of the carbon dioxide laser for cosmetic surgery in the mid-1980s.
