ABOUT US:

The Long Island Plastic Surgical Group (LIPSG) is the nation's largest private academic plastic surgery practice serving Long Island and the New York metro area. We offer nine locations throughout Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, including state-of-the-art operating rooms in Garden City and Manhattan, which have been fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF).

Established in 1948, LIPSG has treated over half a million patients and developed many of the region's specialty centers including microsurgery, burn surgery, wound care, facial reanimation, peripheral nerve reconstruction, and cleft care.

In addition to offering a full spectrum of plastic surgery to our patients, we are also committed to supporting our community by meeting the need for reconstructive care. We host an annual Breast Cancer Summit to share patient resources with the community and provide an overview of the latest developments in breast cancer care and reconstruction. LIPSG doctors have provided life-altering surgeries including reattaching limbs, complex wound and burn management, and reconstructive cleft lip and palate surgeries, both in our local community and worldwide through their work with humanitarian aid organizations such as ReSurge International.

The surgeons at LIPSG also oversee Deep Blue Med Spa, which is focused on skin rejuvenation and minimally invasive treatments for the face and body, provided by specially trained medical aestheticians and physician assistants. We also offer several medical-grade skincare lines including our exclusive line, ProBLUEMD®, which enables our patients to take professional skincare home with them.
