Dr. Ryan Neinstein

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Ryan Neinstein, board certified plastic surgeon, innovator, and founder of Neinstein Plastic Surgery, has tailored his menu of services to respond to the demands of active and vibrant New Yorkers. Dr. Neinstein focuses primarily on minimally invasive liposuculpting. He prefers the term ‘sculpting’ because while anyone can remove fat, sculpting is an artistic skill honed over years of dedication to the craft. His unique combination of acoustic and plasma energy allows for stubborn areas of fat and loose skin to be sculpted in 90 minutes with virtually no scarring, no general anesthesia and only 48 hours of downtime.
