Contact UsAre you board certified in facial plastic surgery?
For facial procedures, the most relevant credential is the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS). Dr. Klausner holds dual board certifications: the ABFPRS and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. This combination gives her deep expertise in both aesthetic artistry and structural nasal anatomy.
Do you focus exclusively on the face?
In facial surgery, subspecialty focus matters. The structural nuances of rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and facelift require deep, concentrated expertise. Dr. Klausner's entire practice is dedicated to facial procedures, both surgical and minimally invasive.
Are you trusted by other physicians and medical professionals?
Dr. Klausner has been consistently named to Castle Connolly's Top Doctors and the Top Doctors: New York Metro Area guide through physician nomination and review. She served as a clinical instructor of facial plastic surgery at NYU Medical Center.
What is your fellowship and surgical training background?
Fellowship training under a recognized leader shows where a surgeon actually developed their technique. Dr. Klausner completed her fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery under renowned surgeon Dr. Russell W.H. Kridel at the University of Texas, after residency training at NYU School of Medicine.
How do you approach achieving natural-looking results?
Natural results mean helping each patient look more like themselves, not less. This requires a surgeon who studies individual facial anatomy carefully, listens to what matters to that specific patient, and doesn't apply template solutions. Dr. Klausner's practice is built on this principle: preserving individual expression while delivering real improvement.
How do you customize the treatment plan to each patient?
Standardized treatment plans don't work in facial surgery. Every face is different. Dr. Klausner builds a plan specific to each patient's goals and anatomy, recommending only what's needed. She favors the most conservative approach that achieves the desired result.
Can I see before-and-after photos of patients with concerns similar to mine?
A surgeon's gallery shows real work across different patient types. Look for consistency, not just the most dramatic outcomes. The Klausner Institute gallery displays rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelifts, and septal perforation repair across both straightforward and complex cases.
How do I know a surgeon will give me an honest recommendation?
Look for a surgeon who recommends only necessary procedures and speaks candidly about limitations, risks, and realistic expectations. Dr. Klausner follows this principle: the most conservative approach that achieves your goals, and the integrity to decline procedures she doesn't believe are appropriate.
What should I expect from the consultation itself?
A great consultation focuses on listening. The surgeon should ask questions, study your anatomy carefully, and give honest feedback on what's realistic. Dr. Klausner's approach is thorough and unhurried. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your options and a personalized treatment plan.
