What do you think about the fellowship program at Lenox Hill and NYU ? Do you think its a good option for Breast Implants?

Thank you for your question. I speak from personal experience as I am an attending overseeing some of the surgeries performed at the MEETH, Lenox Hill fellowship program.  The program is designed for fully trained plastic surgeons receiving expertise from practicing aesthetic physicians during their fellowship.  It is very safe and I would recommend it for lower cost Breast augmentation over traveling abroad or having surgery by a non plastic surgeon. It is important to evaluate your options and to meet with the fellow prior to procedure.

Hi,Having trained through the NYU and MEETH aesthetic fellowship, I would endorse it without question. However, it can never hurt to find out from other patients how they did and what their experience was.The way a fellows' clinic typically works is the fellow-in-training (a licensed doctor/typically fully trained plastic surgeon doing extra training) is the one who does the surgery often under the guidance of an attending (practicing) physician. The costs are often much less than the private doctor may charge and the patient gets the benefit of being overseen by someone with more experience. Since the procedures are performed like any other patient that comes in, they are very safe and certainly worth the expense. There isn't any "cost-cutting" or backdoor surgery performed just because its a fellow and not the attending doctor. Much better and safer than going to a non-plastic surgeon's office and getting cheap surgery.
