My experience at Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery has been nothing short of amazing. From the very first phone call I made to schedule my consultation through today (one year post-op rhinoplasty), I have received excellent care from Dr. Pearlman and the entire staff. —Kerri Goldman,Rhinoplasty
I had my revision rhinoplasty done by Dr. Pearlman in 2016, and a liquid rhinoplasty this month. Both of these procedures have significantly improved the quality of my day-to-day life.

Dr. Pearlman's facelift surgery improves signs of aging to restore a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance. Facelift techniques can correct sagging facial tissue, such as jowls along the jawline, drooping skin under the chin (“turkey neck”), descending cheeks, and deep creases from the outer nostrils to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). This facial plastic surgery procedure achieves a natural, beautifully revitalized version of yourself.
What can Rhinoplasty accomplish?
Rhinoplasty can refine different parts of the nose for individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance and function of their noses, including: Shape, Angle, Width, Structure, and other nasal features Dr. Pearlman also frequently instructs other surgeons on both primary and revision rhinoplasty, lecturing on the most up-to-date techniques used for nose surgery around the world. He is dual certified in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and in Head and Neck Surgery
Can Rhinoplasty treat breathing difficulties?
The shape and position of the internal structures of the nose have a tremendous effect on the patient’s ability to breathe. Patients who have difficulty breathing through their nose can undergo Dr. Pearlman's New York rhinoplasty surgery to straighten a crooked wall between the two sides of the nose. This procedure, known as septoplasty, can straighten a crooked septum to improve the nasal airway without altering the outward appearance of the nose. If desired, septoplasty and rhinoplasty can be combined (known as septorhinoplasty) to improve both the function and aesthetics of the nose.
What kinds of Otoplasty and Ear Surgeries are there?
Ear Surgery can treat children and adults with the following: Protruding ears, Lop ears when the top of the ears droops down, Constricted ears, excessively small or cupped ears, Microtia unformed ears Split earlobes, torn or split earring holes
What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty?
The Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty technique is a significant advance in custom nose surgery. After years of development and testing in Europe, Piezo-powered Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is now available in New York City. Dr. Pearlman is one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to use this groundbreaking surgical tool to precisely sculpt and reduce nasal bony humps and replace the traditional “hammer and chisel” technique for altering the structure of the nasal bones. The Piezo device precisely pares down the nasal hump, layer by layer, with a high-frequency oscillating tool.
Which ethnic rhinoplasties can be treated?
Dr. Pearlman specializes in many different ethnicities and backgrounds for ethnic rhinoplasty. He understands the subtle differences in anatomy that can often be confused by the undiscerning eye. He specializes in the following ethnicities and more: African American Hispanic Asian Middle Eastern Indian / Pakistani This distinction between cultural backgrounds is of great importance when it comes to ethnic rhinoplasty. For example, when it comes to Asian noses Dr. Pearlman understands the anatomic differences between Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese facial structure and nasal anatomy as well as many other Asian ethnicities. Similarly, all other ethnic nose shapes and sizes have variations in size, shape, and projection.
What can I expect from a Lip Lift?
During your lip lift, Dr. Pearlman and his highly skilled team will administer local anesthesia to numb the area of the upper lip beneath your nose. Dr. Pearlman will then remove a tiny amount of skin immediately beneath the nose to shorten the distance between the upper lip and nose. Then, the incision is closed. The entire procedure takes an hour or less to complete. A week later, the stitches will be removed, with the incision scar virtually invisible, hidden beneath your nose.
