About

Biography

Dr. David Rosenberg is a specialist in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is one of only a handful of surgeons Board-Certified in both Facial Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

Dr. Rosenberg's surgical training included a fellowship sponsored by the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, a residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and General Surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital. He received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College after earning his bachelor of science degree from undergraduate Cornell University.

Over the past decade Dr. Rosenberg has gained an international reputation for providing his patients with long lasting and natural appearing results with the shortest recovery times possible. His surgical approach to the face is almost entirely muscular and redefines the jaw line, neck and cheeks from underneath the surface. This muscle suspension technique offers the distinct advantage of creating an age appropriate facial rejuvenation.

In addition to the above expertise, Dr. Rosenberg has earned a reputation as an authority in Rhinoplasty surgery. His method expands upon the modern surgical philosophy of preserving and improving structural support and nasal breathing. These concepts are the basis for elegant long term outcomes. Furthermore, Dr. Rosenberg's rapid recovery method allows most patients to return to a normal routine eight days after surgery.

Dr. Rosenberg's innovative surgical techniques and modern aesthetic continue to garner attention in the press and at national conferences. He has recently been featured in Forbes, Vogue, New York Magazine, Elle and The New York Times.

Patient Testimonials

"It is in your mastery of the art of the make-under, so to speak, in that I look notably younger, but it would be hard to pinpoint why. Thank you for turning back the clock, I could not be happier."
"It is with great appreciation of your surgical talent and aesthetic judgment that I write this letter - what a happy girl am I!"
"My social debut at a dinner party 3 weeks after surgery... when I was sipping my glass of Chardonnay and feeling a little nervous, no one paid the slightest bit of extra attention. You know the signs - the inquisitive looks, the furtive glances, the code phrases such as 'You get younger looking every day, what's your secret?' and 'You look so rested!'... But despite my sensitivity there was nothing - nada!"
"Knowing that you are an artist is a medical way, I thought that this catalogue on the sculpture of my husband's grandfather, Henri Matisse, might interest you. Thank you for all your kind attention."
