Welcome to the LoVerme Center, where we blend the art of natural beauty with the latest proven technological advances in cosmetic surgery. This combination of art and science begins at the consultation stage, where we use computer imaging technology to discuss goals and options specific to you.

Working with us means you are informed and educated about your procedure by a surgeon who has been ranked as one of the best in the state by NJ Monthly and New York Magazines. It means matching this patient-first approach with the surgical skill you can trust. Having an on-site surgical suite where surgery can be performed safely, comfortably and privately. And offering non-invasive and holistic therapies in our Radiance Medical Spa. The result of all this science and art? A 100% natural, harmonious you.

We are a friendly, experienced and professional team who strive to exceed expectations. As the 2nd oldest plastic surgical practice in New Jersey (founded by Dr. Stephen LoVerme in 1958) we offer comprehensive and compassionate care with advanced technology in a modern facility. Our in-office operating suite offers a private, safe, personal environment for cosmetic surgery. With our Radiance Medical Spa, we link patient well-being and post-operative support and treatment to our expertise in surgery, allowing us to provide superior outcomes. Through our customized approach and attention to detail, we provide guidance, security and support in choosing the surgical or non-surgical options best suited for our patients. Our goal is to incorporate integrity, personal attention, skill and modern technology into Art and Science, which is the foundation of Plastic Surgery.

Office

The decision to change your appearance requires realistic expectations as well as a thorough knowledge of the entire process. It is our goal to help you achieve both.

Together we will discuss all aspects of your procedure. Using our state-of-the-art computer imaging system, you will "preview" or visualize the results of your procedure prior to your surgery. This provides an ideal forum for the best communication between doctor and patient - bringing us that much closer to reaching our goals. And, special accommodations are available for our out-of-town patients.

We encourage questions during your consultation and understand that you need to take whatever time is necessary for you to make your decision. Remember, its the time you spend with your plastic surgeon before the operation that really counts.

We'd like you to regard your plastic surgery as a gift to yourself - a gift you deserve!
