Marc J Elkowitz Dr Elkowitz hallway head shot – front blue scrubs
I'm Shelley Muir, flight attendant, and probably about two years ago, I was really looking at changing how I felt about myself with the turkey neck and a lot of, you know, just droopiness coming in here, which comes with age. I was turning sixty-nine in a year at that point, and I decided to really think seriously about getting a facelift and looking for the right plastic surgeon. So I did about a year's worth of research, and at that point I decided I definitely wanted to do it, but I wanted to make sure I had the best. So I went to my doctor, Dr. Roth, and he suggested Dr. Marc Elkowitz, and I still did my research. I came and met him and Holly and everyone, and everyone was so helpful. They weren't pushing me at all about getting it done. They took their time. They said, "Take your time to decide," and gave me all the pros and cons, which were mostly pros, I have to say. And so I decided to do it, and I still took another six months to think about it, and I came to visit the doctor with Ollie several times, and they, you know, took me through everything — what was going to happen post-surgery — and everything went just smoothly. I had no complications. It's been, let's see, in September it'll be a year; right now it's July. And I'm making very good progress. I love everybody here. Everything they promised me was true, and my doctor was also very happy with the results because he sent me here in the first place. So I would definitely recommend the top doctor in Plastic Surgery in New York, Dr. Marc Elkowitz.

I saw Dr. Elkowitz about my under eyes. I was not happy with the way they looked, the puffiness around them. I spoke to Dr. Elkowitz, and there was a solution to that. I was eager to find out what the solution would be, how it would look afterward, and how different my face could look. I started noticing more, quote unquote, issues with my face — the eyes had been going on for a while — to the point that I thought I was going to be stuck like that for the rest of my life, and that there weren't any solutions out there. So we did the brows, the upper eyelids, and this was the lower eyelids. Definitely, my features are more prominent — the puffiness is gone, my eyes come out more — versus in the past, when they would hide beneath that puffiness, which enhanced the dark circles even more. So now my features look more like what they should, if I didn't have those imperfections. Amazing. Like I said, I didn't know such procedures were possible — that facial imperfections like this could be corrected in such a minimal way, where you couldn't notice anything. So I was amazed, and very thankful. For the incisions on the inside, they would pull out the lower lid and alter what needed to be altered from the inside, so there would be as few visible traces as possible from the outside. Again, I was amazed that could be done — I felt normal and looked normal within a few days. People would say to me, "Oh my God, what did you do? It looks normal, it looks natural," versus what they're used to seeing online, where people alter their appearance so much. They said, "Oh my God, you had work done, but it looks so natural" — the essence of you is still there, it's just more refreshed-looking. As for the recovery, there was no pain whatsoever — I want to emphasize that. No discomfort, just cosmetically, a few days where I had to get past some puffiness from the body healing. And of course I would do it again, knowing that, like I said, the essence of me is there — it's not altered, just enhanced and refreshed. So I would definitely do it again. In a few years, I'll be back. I would say, definitely, I am living proof — going into his office for maybe one procedure, being so happy with the results, and going back to say, "Doc, what else can your wonderful hands do to enhance, once again, who I truly am — just a better version of it?" And here I am, after three or more procedures, making this testimonial — and I'm extremely, extremely happy.
