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 finesse minimally invasive liposuculpting and mommy makeovers.

His unique combination of being an academic leader in liposuction and mommy makeover safety, along with being a textbook author of techniques, make him the surgeon of choice for many plastic surgeons themselves, and moms from around the world.
