Irena Karanetz, MD

I’ve seen Dr. Karanetz work in and out of the operating room when she was a fellow and from that time years ago I’ve always said I wanted her to do my breast augmentation. And years later when I was ready after three kids I finally went to her. She is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon but also an extraordinary human being. She is warm, kind, and deeply compassionate. Every single time I see her, I leave wanting to give her the biggest hug — that’s how genuinely cared for she makes you feel. She truly listens. You are never “just another patient.” She takes her time, answers every question thoroughly, and makes sure you feel heard and understood. She works with you, honors your wishes, and always gives her honest professional opinion to ensure the best possible outcome. Her integrity and transparency are unmatched. Most importantly, she is an exceptional surgeon. She is a true perfectionist — she does not cut corners, she does not rush, and she holds herself to the highest standard every single time. My results are incredibly natural — so natural that even a complete stranger would never know I had anything done. My scars are minimal and beautifully placed. I absolutely love my results. If you choose her (which you absolutely should), ask all the questions — she is thorough, open, and patient. Her partner is equally wonderful and kind, making the entire experience even more reassuring. I am beyond grateful to have found her. She is the perfect combination of heart, honesty, and extraordinary surgical talent. Issues I had: was small droopy deflated breast from breastfeeding three babies. I ended up getting the motiva Demi round 285cc for each breast over the muscle. Recovery was okay pain was mild sleeping on my back was a killer but I survived. Breast are soft and they feel real. And my scars are very small

Dr. Karanetz is the best! She took me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The procedure was quick and the recovery was so easy. My jawline looks so much more defined!

I had a great experience with Dr. Karanetz for my lipoma removal. From the very first consultation, she was professional, kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel calm and confident. The procedure itself went smoothly and was much easier than I expected. Dr. Karanetz was very gentle, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The recovery was straightforward, and I’m very happy with the result. I truly appreciate her care, patience, and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Karanetz to anyone considering lipoma removal or looking for a doctor who genuinely cares about their patients. Thank you so much, Dr. Karanetz!

I recently had a labiaplasty with Dr. Karanetz, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From my very first consultation, she made me feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared for. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. I felt confident and informed every step of the way. On the day of surgery, she and her team were warm, calm, and reassuring, which made a huge difference given how personal the procedure was. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery was far easier than I expected, which I truly credit to her skill and thoughtful approach. What stands out most is her attention to detail and her ability to achieve natural, balanced results. I got exactly what I was hoping for. Dr. Karanetz is compassionate, meticulous, and incredibly talented. I’m so grateful I chose her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone considering this procedure.

I think I used all my luck in finding Dr. Karanetz. I'm currently 2 months post-op and not for a second did a feel a moment of anxiety or doubt before or after my surgery. Dr. Karanetz has such lovely bedside manner and Lourdes did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and letting me know she was there to answer all of my questions. My surgery had no complications and my healing has been completely positive. I had Dr. Karanetz saved on RS for 2 years and I'm kicking myself for not taking the plunge as there was nothing to fear! If you're in the area and don't want to worry about going to Manhattan for surgery, don't skip over Dr. Karanetz! Even though my scars are still healing, I'm so in love with the way my body looks after my breast lift.

I cannot recommend Dr. Karanetz enough! Dr. Karanetz performed my breast augmentation using Motiva 300 cc implants, and I’m beyond happy with my results. She truly listens to what you want, while also bringing her own expert opinion and deep understanding of the female anatomy. I never felt rushed or talked into anything, only informed and fully supported. She even investigated a breast cyst from my mammogram results and gave me an excellent referral for removal on top of my cosmetic surgery. My augmentation recovery was incredibly easy, with no complications at all, and I felt cared for every step of the way. I’m so glad I chose her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, thoughtful, and trustworthy surgeon. I also highly recommend motiva implants. I was not familiar with them until Dr. Karanetz’ recommendation!

If you’re looking for a sign to choose Dr. Karanetz as your surgeon, girl this is it. I had a breast reduction and lift, plus lipo of my underarms and bra-roll area, and the entire experience was nothing short of magical from start to finish. Everything moved so smoothly, from consultation to scheduling to surgery to recovery, it all felt aligned and divinely timed. Her whole team is immaculate. Every one was sweet, welcoming, patient, and so patient for someone like me who is naturally shy and anxious. I never once felt rushed, judged, or confused. Just held, supported, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Karanetz is genuinely a dream of a surgeon. Brilliant, compassionate, attentive, and the definition of a girls girl. She checked on me often, made sure I was comfortable, and even took the time to meet my mom after surgery, which meant the world to both of us. She asked me questions too about what I wanted, how I felt, what I envisioned, and helped me truly understand the process and the possibilities. It was such an empowering, honest, collaborative experience. For anyone curious about costs, my breast reduction and lift were covered by insurance, and her team made the approval process super smooth and pretty quick. I chose to add lipo of my underarm and bra-roll area, which I paid for separately at $2,500, and it was so worth it. Through all of it, they took such good care of me and made everything feel easy and supported. The surgery was a complete chef’s kiss. I had way less pain than expected, more like soreness and fatigue, and I felt supported every single step of the way no matter how many questions I had. Now I’m two months post-op and OBSESSED with my results. My scars are already fading beautifully, my confidence is blooming again, and the physical relief is unbelievable. I can sleep better, breathe easier, move lighter, exercise comfortably, and I don’t wake up in pain anymore. Life feels different in the best way, and I owe so much of that to Dr. Karanetz and her outstanding team. I will recommend her for the rest of my life. Truly. She is sweet, smart, inspiring, and incredibly skilled. If you’re considering it, do not hesitate. She changed my life, and I’m forever grateful.

She is the most talented, caring, patient doctor I have ever dealt with. Her staff is patient, caring , and available 24 hours on phone if there is a question. I had breast implants and uplift and the result after two and a hand months is awesome.

My experience with Dr. Karanetz was amazing! She truly listens to your concerns and helps you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. I am very happy with my results as well and feeling more confident
