This has been a long time coming I got my breast augmentation with Dr Ellenbogen(: about five years ago now I went from a size A cup to a DDD which was quite the jump! I got 650CC gummy bear implants under the muscle and when I awoke from surgery I was definitely in a lot of pain! That being said this was my first surgery and I was not quite anticipating the level of discomfort and pain that went along with it. I also warn you that you will more than likely go through a stage

Artist at Work
After 3 surgeries with Dr. Ellenbogen, I have come to see him as much as an artist as a technical expert. His hallmark is subtlety and his taste is impeccable so outcomes are just about as beautiful and natural as you can get. Just ask him about this and look at his pictures to see for yourself. He is gifted. He is also wonderfully kind and generous and so is his staff. I trust him totally and recommend him without hesitation.
An Artist at His Craft
Dr Richard Ellenbogen is truly an artist. He is one of the best at his craft and his professionalism is impeccable. He listen to my requests and helped me with my concerns to provide piece of mind prior to surgery . The office is very calming and the staff is very helpful and accommodating. I have gained so much confidence after having my surgery. I will be telling all of my friends and family about this incredible doctor

Lower face lift and neck lift
Dr Ellenbogen has done an exceptional job with my lower face lift and neck lift. He was able to put me at ease by explaining exactly what he was going to do. He used pictures and a photoshop program to show me before and after expectations. After surgery there is very little pain.

Great botox experience
I went to see Dr Elenborgen s for Botox. The experience was amazing from the moment I walked in until the second I left. First of all, the office space is stunning and the staffs are very professional, kind and personable. Dr Elenborgen is charming and kind who has magical hands and aesthetic taste, he is also a portrait artist, this could be a perfect combination for a cosmetic surgeon.he gave me great advice, I am very happy with the results and the overall experience. I will
Breath taking
The doctor was very informative and professional. His sense of humor was one of the best parts. I found him on the internet and from reading all the reviews I decided to go with him and to my surprise I’m very happy. I’m still recovering but excited about my work and can’t wait to show it off. I would kindly recommend him to others . If you are liking to get any work done PLEASE USE HIM
I find it hard to put into words what Dr E has done for me. This man has changed my life. I once weighed over 300 lbs, and lost 172 of it. I had excessive skin that had turned me weightloss into my nightmare. My thoughts on once I lost my weight I could wear all the cute Cloths, look good at the beach... in short look good naked but nothing prepared me for my reality. I had excessive skin that hung all over my body. My body resembled a melting candle, I wasn't able to

I wanted to refresh myself and look youthful. There was zero pain and I never needed to take any pain medicine. The fat grafting was done to my lower eye lids and upper eye lids - this made all the difference in the world, all the doctors in New York did not have the experience to do the fat grafting to the eye area, but Dr. Ellenbogen has experience with eye area fat grafting.

Nose *
I wish I did my nose job sooner! I didn't believe in plastic surgery until now and was so afraid to have a fake look. I was rear ended by a driver on the freeway and ended up having no choice because the accident smashed my nose. I don't know why I waited so long to do this! I always had a large bump on my nose and wanted to fix it but was afraid. The car accident was a blessing! Dr Ellenbogen was so careful to keep the character that I like on my nose. He listen to me and
