Elie Levine, MD

Gifted, innovative and sensitive are words patients use to describe Dr. Elie Levine, New York’s top board certified plastic surgeon and the director of Plastic Surgery at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology of NYC, PLLC. 

Dr. Levine himself is humble but it’s the subtleties of his surgeries that make him sought after.  His approach is honest and direct.  His work is transformational yet discreet. 

“The goal of plastic surgery should be to fix what might be wrong, return to a more youthful state, and boost the patients’ confidence.  It should never look like you’ve had plastic surgery”, says Dr. Levine.   Sometimes that takes a combination of surgeries and treatments - a specialty of Dr. Elie Levine who uses his artistic eye as well as his steady hand to develop the best possible plan to achieve each patient’s cosmetic goals and most youthful, yet beautiful outcome.

With a talent for fat grafting and fillers, Dr. Levine’s facelifts can be life-altering, but are hardly detectible.   The same rings true for his nose jobs, facelifts, breast augmentation and body-shaping techniques. Patients have been known to travel from around the world for his surgery. 

While Dr. Levine has expertise in all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, he specializes in aesthetic surgery, including face, neck, brow, and eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, lipo-sculpting, breast augmentation, breast lifting, abdominoplasty and other forms of body contouring.  He is a well-respected and regular commentator on these surgical procedures in the media.  

Dr. Levine graduated from Columbia College with a 4.0 earning the distinctions of Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude.  He then attended the Yale School of Medicine, graduating Cum Laude, finishing in the top 10% of his class.  Dr. Levine continued his training at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, first in General Surgery and then in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.  He currently serves an assistant professor of surgery there.  Dr. Levine 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.

Dr. Levine resides in Manhattan with his wife Dr. Jody Alpert Levine and their four children.
