“My primary focus is your appearance, safety, and well-being.”

In addition to being a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, she is also a board-certified otolaryngology surgeon—a competitive advantage that benefits her patients. As one of NYC’s best facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Klausner demonstrates a commitment to excellence and keen attention to detail. She understands that big and small details, like where you place incisions and how you close them, can make a significant difference. As one of NYC’s best plastic surgeons, Dr. Klausner’s training and background have given her a unique angle from which to interpret your concerns and present solutions to your aging health. As one of a select few female facial plastic surgeons in practice today, Dr. Klausner is in touch with the modern-day needs of patients seeking natural results. It is the artful use of invasive techniques in combination with noninvasive techniques that gives Dr. Klausner’s patients optimal results. This balance of the surgical with the nonsurgical helps her patients still look like themselves, only better.

Patients want to look their best without losing the essence of who they are in the process.
