Dr. Sean Alemi is a Board Certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. He is meticulous in his approach to plastic surgery and passionate about delivering the highest quality of care to his patients. When he's not working, Dr. Alemi enjoys exercising, cooking and spending time with his wife, twin daughters and 2 very energetic dogs Ella and Abby.
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Alemi. He is one of the most humble, down-to-earth, personable, and knowledgeable surgeons I’ve ever met. His eye for aesthetics and his passion for his work make him truly exceptional. In January 2024, I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy—a devastating and life-altering experience. While most doctors had little time or answers, Dr. Alemi was the only one who made the time to sit with me, explain what was happening to my face, and offer real guidance. Losing my smile was the hardest part, and adjusting to the changes in my appearance was incredibly difficult. Over the course of the next 14 months, I saw Dr. Alemi regularly. His support, encouragement, and expertise helped me gradually restore symmetry to my face. More importantly, he gave me hope and a sense of normalcy during one of the most challenging periods of my life. I would highly recommend Dr. Alemi for any facial rejuvenation surgery. His results are incredibly natural—truly miraculous. He is not just a talented surgeon—he’s a compassionate doctor who truly cares for his patients

The moment I met with Dr Alemi I knew that he was going to perform my surgery . He was so professional and took his time to answer all my questions and concerns. He gave me such confidence in his abilities and I knew from his gallery of pictures that he was a master craftsman. His staff is stellar, they are kind professional and generous with their time. Every step of the way I was treated with kid gloves before and after the surgery. It’s been almost 3 months and I could not be happier with my results, and I know it’s just gonna get even better from here on out. Dr Alemi Is amazing and a plastic surgeon God.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Alemi, and the revision face lift he performed. After originally seeing a "world renowned surgeon" who performed my first surgery, with terrible results, Dr Alemi gave me the results I had hoped for initially. He listened well and addressed my specific concerns. He is a good person, with no ego, which is hard to find in plastic surgeons. The follow up has been fantastic. And his team is first rate. They all make you feel comfortable.
I had deep plane FL/NL and upper/lower bleph done Oct 2024. It’s been 3 months and I am very happy with my results. I’m 58 but the laxity of my skin on my face bothered me for many years, it made me look way too old. I think i easily look early-mid 40s now! Dr. Alemi was very patient at every visit from initial consult, to FaceTime questions, to post op care. The office staff is top notch, very caring and professional. The nurse that took care of me the first night in the recovery suite was amazing. His suturing skills are the best I’ve seen, all of the scars are hidden and invisible. No one can tell I’ve had anything done (except I look better :) Post op care has been fantastic. Initially after surgery I was seen almost every day, then once a week, and now once a month. At every visit I have a long list of questions that get answered with patience. Highly recommend this doctor because of his skills, personality, and office staff.
I literally cannot recommend him enough & his staff enough. I did a deeplane including neck , upper & lower bleph , a touch of fat transfer to cheeks & laser w/ stem cells in face & chest . I feel like I honestly hit the jackpot finding him. I’m an aesthetician and I see plastic surgery all day the good and the bad. I am extremely picky & it’s very scary to trust someone to perform surgery on your face . I been researching plastic surgeons for years & didn’t feel comfortable with one until I met him. He answered all of my questions perfectly. He has the best bedside manner. He truly cares and takes great pride in his work & by the way his stitching is meticulous. He can make you look 20 years younger ( or more ) and still look completely natural. You will not have scars that anyone will ever see, and you will not look like you’ve been pulled or stretched in anyway. I was really worried about getting my eyes done because I love the natural shape of my eyes . I’ve seen lower blephs go really wrong with what I do for a living & that is a very hard thing to fix . I have seen many woman that got work done elsewhere with widened mouths , pulled corners of eyes , and bad scars around ears . Rest assured he would never do this to anyone . Also the day of surgery everyone made me feel so comfortable. I got into a nice heated bed ( I’m always cold ) & they even played Fleetwood Mac for me to listen to as I was put under:) I couldn’t be happier with my results and the entire experience . I will recommend him to everyone . He is my plastic surgeon for Life!
I want to add my voice to the chorus praising Dr. Alemi. He's such a talent. Sky high standards for his work, coupled with a warmth, engagement and so much kindness and patience for the questions he has to answer over and over again, every single day. He drove 45 minutes at 6am on a Sunday morning out to my hotel to remove one missed stitch that could have been taken out a day later at his office. Where do you find someone with such intense perfectionism, artistry and the most delightful personality? You cannot do better than this. I am three months post-op, and the relaxed trust I felt with him has carried me through this entire experience. You are not going to get lost in the shuffle, he's on top of it!
I have been so delighted with the results and the experience I have had with Dr Alemi and ALL of the wonderful staff. I was well prepared as to what to expect. The anesthesiologist, surgical nurses and post-op nurses were all so caring. They are clearly seasoned professionals who are able to anticipate your every need to keep you comfortable and safe. Dr Alemi is amazing and truly gifted. He has what can’t be taught in medical school. His ability to follow your natural features and enhance or recreate beauty lies in his understanding of anatomy, proportions and symmetry. He uses his intrinsic ability to analyze and then enhance facial features in a way that looks natural and harmonious. He blends his innate artistry with his technical skills to enhance your appearance while preserving your unique characteristics… so the results truly do, look like you!
I had visited 6 other plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and Southern California where I live, including a very famous one in Beverly Hills, and after flying to NYC for a consultation with Dr. Alemi, I knew I had finally found the surgeon I had been looking for. His before and after pictures were consistently fantastic (ask to see more on his computer- there are a lot more before and after pictures in his office/not just the pictures on Instagram!) and his aesthetic, skill level, training and attention to detail are top notch. He was very honest, warm, friendly, and funny. I had deep plane facelift, neck lift, lip lift, and revision rhinoplasty and the results are completely natural looking. I am truly happy with my results. Not only do I look younger, I FEEL younger and have so much more confidence and am SO thrilled with how I am healing. I knew I was going to get great results from Dr. Alemi - but I am very impressed with how natural I look and the improvements I see, and am so grateful I discovered him on social media. It was worth it to travel to New York and stay in Great Neck - it was actually much better being out of town than being at home because I was able to heal, rest, not worry about seeing people I know right away (haha) and it was overall a really good experience. If you're considering a procedure with Dr. Alemi, I highly recommend him. He is a highly skilled surgeon, has a great demeanor, and has consistently beautiful results.
Living in Southern California I have many choices after 1 year of interviews and consults I choose Dr Alemi for so many reasons …One week post op and I CANNOT BELIEVE the true joy I feel. His office nurses surgery and himself are second to none. Best Decision ever….So grateful
Hi thanks for your inquiry. It is difficult to see exactly what the distance is between your nasal base and the upper lip because it is cropped from the photo but there are both surgical and non-surgical options to improve the appearance of the lips. The simplest thing you can do is a botox lip flip, where a small amount of botox is placed along the vermilion border to relax the muscles that pull the lip down. This causes a very subtle increase in the height of the lip. However it doesn't actually "lift" the lip so it won't cause a significant change to the amount of tooth show. A lip lift is also an option, but you would need to have an in person evaluation to take precise measurements of the height of your lip to determine whether you would be a good candidate for this procedure. A lip lift is not a one-sized-fits-all procedure. The amount that is removed is customized to each patient's anatomy. I suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in lip lifts to find out the best option for you!
This is a very common area of concern for patients. Deep lines and wrinkles in the perioral region are sometimes known as "smokers lines" even though they're not typically from smoking! The best strategy is to use some form of dermal filler to fill the deepest lines and then treat the skin with resurfacing. Most commonly we use temporary dermal fillers, although fat transfer can also be used for filling the deep lines. Resurfacing technologies include either microneedling, chemical peels, CO2 laser or microdermabrasion. I'd suggest consultation with a provider who has experience in application of these treatments. Good luck!
In my experience Restylane Kysse lasts at least as long as Juvederm, typically between 6-9 months in most patients. The biggest advantage to using Kysse is that it is a very soft, pliable filler so it feels incredibly natural in the lips. I do not see as much immediate post injection swelling as with other fillers as well. It is a great lip filler in my opinion!
Hi there and thank you for your question. Early 40s is a very common time for women to start thinking about facial rejuvenation procedures. There are a number of options available to you that range from injectable treatments, non-invasive and minimally invasive skin tightening treatments and of course surgical interventions with a mini facelift. The advantage of less invasive options of course is they tend to be slightly less costly than surgery and they usually have less down time. The trade off is that they tend to create more modest results (which may be OK for you!) and the results generally don't last as long as a surgical procedure. Mini facelifts are extremely popular for women in your age range because they have a shorter incision and can be a very powerful way to rejuvenate the neck, jawline and cheeks. I'd encourage you to schedule in person or Skype consultations with multiple surgeons who specialize in facial rejuvenation procedures. Based on your aesthetic goals, your surgeon will hopefully be able to help you select the best treatment. Good luck!
Hello and thank you for your question! Based on your photographs provided, I would suggest that you strongly consider doing the neck, jowls and cheeks at the same time. Though it may seem daunting to undergo these procedures at once, doing them in combination does not increase your overall healing time and will lead to a smoother, more natural result. Additionally, it will avoid needing to have 2 surgeries, 2 bouts of anesthesia and 2 periods of recovery and healing. I would suggest that you seek consultation with multiple surgeons who perform facial rejuvenation procedures. I'm not sure that it would necessarily reduce cost to separate these procedures, but every surgeon prices their procedures differently. Be sure to review several before & after photos to get a sense for the surgeon's technique and overall aesthetic. Good luck!
