Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg: Founder and Medical Director of Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is a Pioneer in the Field of Plastic Surgery
From celebrities to soccer moms, Dr. Greenberg’s patients all want the same thing—to be better versions of themselves. And who wouldn’t want to go to the best in the industry to look their best? With 30 years of experience and multiple practice locations, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a champion in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery who’s invented or refined many of the cutting-edge techniques he uses to provide thousands of men and women with beautiful, natural-looking results.
A double board-certified plastic surgeon, this Ivy League-educated doctor trained at Cornell and University of Pennsylvania and prides himself on being a leader in his field. Consistently sought out for his expertise, Dr. Greenberg is highly recognizable due to being featured on multiple television and radio programs—including his own radio show. Using the most sophisticated techniques is what gives this dedicated doctor his edge. “I take pride in utilizing the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art technology in everything that I do in order to give patients the most optimal cosmetic surgery results, whether it be through invasive, minimally invasive or non-invasive treatments,” explains Dr. Greenberg. “It’s important for me to use latest and greatest techniques, some of which I have invented, to ensure my patients receive the best possible outcomes. I have done tens of thousands of procedures in my three-decade career, which gives me the ability to produce outstanding results.”
Getting the Dr. Greenberg treatment begins from the moment you enter the luxurious surroundings at each of his offices, which are located in Manhattan, Woodbury, Smithtown, Southampton, Scarsdale, Boca Raton, Miami and Dubai. An icon in the plastic surgery field, it’s no surprise that this devoted doctor’s patients can include celebrities and royals as well as your neighbor up the street, some of whom come from across the country and around the world to see him. After all, Dr. Greenberg is determined to provide the best possible care and outcome for each and every client so that everyone is guaranteed their own red-carpet look. He is also proud to be able to give patients their confidence back through his many secondary procedures, augmenting his already well-earned reputation in the field. “Because of my overwhelming surgical experience, I take pride in being able to redress many complicated cases for patients who have had surgery in the past and providing outstanding results.”
According to Dr. Greenberg, it takes a village, or at least a talented team, to provide the personalized care the practice is known for. That team includes associate plastic surgeons, dermatologists,
physician assistants and licensed medical aestheticians, all of whom are committed to providing outstanding surgical and non-surgical results. His full medical spa divisions offer head-to-toe, non-invasive enhancements, while board-certified dermatologists provide general and surgical dermatology for both children and adults.
Always keeping the patient experience at the forefront of his focus, Dr. Greenberg’s rapid recovery programs often allow patients to get back to their normal activities within 24 hours of their surgical procedures. In order to ensure the most comprehensive care and comfort throughout the surgical process and beyond, Dr. Greenberg has developed extensive at-home care, which includes the hiring of nurses for post-operative patients. He also offers recovery stays at hotel suites affiliated with each office. Finding the best in the industry sometimes requires flying, which is why the doctor also offers numerous packages for patients living elsewhere in the world, and ensuring all of their needs are met during their stay.
No matter your life stage, the Greenberg practice has the perfect procedural package for you. From Modern Mommy Makeover to Daddy Do Over programs, as well as the Post-Divorce, Prenup Nip Tuck or Starting Over Packages (for people changing careers or just looking for a refresh), Dr. Greenberg and his team have considered every aspect of their patients’ lives. “We are here to help them through happy or difficult times using cosmetic enhancements and providing care to suit their every need.”
Dr. Greenberg credits his status as a prominent figure in the plastics field to his innovative technological practices and trust-based relationships. “We have computer imaging in our offices that enables us to help patients see what they will look like for a variety of procedures. I truly have become a leader in the field of cosmetic surgery for offering incredible results with fast recovery times and individualized procedures for each and every patient. Each receives personalized care when they come in to figure out which procedures, whether surgical or non-surgical, are best for them. I have set the industry trends in a variety of procedures such as the micro-mini facelift that I invented, as well as the many rapid recovery programs and small-incision surgical procedures I perform. I think the doctor-patient relationship is of utmost importance for getting outstanding results, so my reputation for employing the most sophisticated techniques and technology drives people from all over the world to have procedures done by me.”
When it comes to picking the plastic surgeon that’s right for you, Dr. Greenberg advises patients on the importance of seeing a board-certified surgeon who performs a large amount of the particular procedure you are seeking on a regular basis. He also emphasizes how crucial it is to feel comfortable with your physician. Dr. Greenberg shares his decades of knowledge and expertise on his weekly radio show, “Nip Tuck Today,” which has been on the air for 20 years (now every Sunday on WOR 710 at 10 a.m.) Also a best-selling author, Greenberg is set to release his second book this year and is in talks to host his own television show.
The doctor says that the biggest trend in plastic surgery is, well, just how trendy it has become. He attributes this to the popularity of post-COVID-19 procedures as well as a patient population which continues to increasingly accept cosmetic surgery and continues to age. His practice is also seeing a rise in the number of men coming in for both big and little nips and tucks. “With the expanded use of Zoom and FaceTime due to COVID-19, patients are seeing their faces close up and this often spurs them to make corrections or improvements to their appearance. Similarly, with recent weight loss modalities, we see a lot of patients who have weight loss-associated changes to their body such as sagging abdomens or increased fat on their legs that leads to more body surgery as well.” Greenberg also thinks patients are starting their procedures earlier. “They can do minimal procedures initially and then progress to more involved procedures that are age-appropriate. I always work within the patient’s own framework and anatomy.”
This natural-born surgeon explains that he remains focused on providing natural results. “It’s important to me to have natural results, which is often overlooked when patients go to other surgeons. I enjoy providing patients with a better look, but only if it’s natural. My goal is not to change people but to improve them.”
Dr. Greenberg might have come a long way, but he hasn’t strayed far from his New York roots. Greenberg, who is married with children, still lives on Long Island, where he grew up, and enjoys working between his several offices in Long Island, Manhattan, Florida and Dubai.
With so many satisfied patients receiving remarkable results in a relaxed environment, Dr. Greenberg’s centers receive many newcomers through word of mouth and continue to grow while remaining true to a philosophy of providing the best care and patient experience.
