The Father of Fat Grafting
Dr. Ellenbogen has chosen to make facial plastic surgery a primary focus of his practice, and he has pioneered several procedures commonly used today. He is regarded by many plastic surgeons as the “father of facial fat grafting .” As a result, Dr. Ellenbogen knows exactly where to place the fat to recreate the shape of a youthful face.
After observing, evaluating and qualifying a patient (both physically and emotionally), I try to instill trust so that I can come as close as possible to delivering just what the patient expects. My word is very important to me. I never promise what I can’t deliver. I have dedicated myself to the highest standards of the art of plastic surgery, but I never forget the human element. The goal of a plastic surgeon is to improve a patient’s self image, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My staff and I try to give patients a very positive experience with as little inconvenience and discomfort as possible. We are experienced professionals, who strive to the highest standards available.
