Welcome to The New Age Institute for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and thank you for visiting us. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality Aesthetic Plastic Surgery / Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and Noninvasive Cosmetic Procedures at reasonable costs affordable to the average individual. Plastic Surgery is a vast field in medicine that consists of many different areas including head and neck reconstruction, nasal reconstruction, face/eyelid reconstruction, breast reconstruction, abdominal reconstruction, hand and upper extremity surgery/reconstruction, lower extremity reconstruction, craniofacial surgery, burn reconstruction, and aesthetic plastic surgery commonly known as cosmetic surgery.

There is now a recently introduced subcategory of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery referred to as Post-Bariatric Reconstruction involving body contour improvement after massive weight loss. In all of these areas, knowledge and application of aesthetic principles is of utmost importance.

Office

In order to provide service for you that will meet our high standards of the Ultimate Art Form we first must understand what your needs and your goals are. This begins with an honest and open discussion in a friendly environment. Then we will discuss with you what can and cannot be achieved. Once we are certain that your expectations are realistic, we have a clear understanding of the goals we are jointly trying to achieve, and we are confident that we can help you, then we arrange for your surgery to be scheduled. In our practice everyone is treated like a member of our extended family and our service can be summarized in: compassion, honesty, and state of the art technology. Most importantly our operations should be natural looking, avoiding the typical surgical look. Once we are certain that we have gained your trust and you believe that we are able to meet these goals, then and only then will we embark upon surgery.

Testi "I recently had my nose done with Dr. Abrams and had such a wonderful experience with him. He is so professional, kind, and honest. He listened to all my concerns and made sure that I was 100% comfortable with my decision to have surgery before going through with it. He is not the type of guy who will push you to have surgery for his benefit; he wants to make sure that his patients are totally comfortable and happy with their decision. He also was so helpful in giving me all the information I needed way in advance, so I would be completely prepared for the surgery and know what to expect. And after the surgery, he made sure to follow up with me frequently to make sure that I was doing OK.

And besides just his hospitality and level of professionalism, the surgery went SO AMAZINGLY WELL!!! I am SOOOOO happy with my nose, it looks so beautiful and natural, to the point that all my friends and family just says they notice something different but can't exactly tell what. Because it's so natural, it doesn't look like a fake, overly tiny, Hollywood nose. It's just perfectly natural, unique, and fits my face. It's obvious Dr. Abrams really looks at each of his patients individually and doesn't have a "formula" for all the noses he does, but instead, makes sure that each time he does surgery on someone, it's individualized to fit their exact features and needs.

Overall, I was EXTREMELY HAPPY with my experience with Dr. Abrams, he's truly a one of a kind physician and I would 100% RECOMMEND HIM to anyone who is interested in any type of plastic surgery."

Testi "GREAT EXPERIENCE. Dr. Abrams was great. Surgery went really well, he answered all my questions and concerns in advance, recovery was super easy.

Qualifications

With an accomplished background as a performing artist and musician, Dr. Abrams recognized the artistic values in aesthetic plastic surgery very early in his training as a surgeon. He embraced the concept of being able to cosmetically improve one's appearance, or to reconstruct defective parts of the body. As his plastic surgery practice evolved and his exquisite results became apparent, he coined the term: THE ULTIMATE ART FORM" to describe his specialty. Dr. Abrams truly believes in an artistic approach to cosmetic surgery by incorporating innovative aesthetic principles and utilizing the latest technology. A good example is his "New Age Lift" which is an innovative technique of face and neck lift with very natural results and no evidence that surgical rejuvenation has been done.
