About Dr. Freund
As a surgeon…
Dr. Freund is the inventor of the teardrop breast lift, a groundbreaking procedure that lifts the nipple, enlarges the breast and gives it a more natural shape. With minimal scarring and long lasting results, the teardrop lift has been hailed as one the most impressive improvements in modern plastic surgery.
He is uniquely skilled to perform secondary rhinoplasty, the complex operation that fixes a nose that has already had cosmetic nasal surgery. His artful approaches to brow lifts, eye Lifts and other procedures on the face and neck led New York magazine to name him “One of New York’s leading plastic surgeons” in 2003.
Dr. Freund has been in private practice in New York City for 15 years and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In 2003 he won the Best Scientific Exhibit Award from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons for his pioneering work on the Lateral Brow Lift, which uses small incisions, does not raise the hairline, and maintains a natural, arched eyebrow.
He is a graduate of Brown University and Cornell University Medical School.
As an innovator and researcher…
Dr. Freund has developed a revolutionary technique of fat transfer, which is considered the best new way to slow the aging process by restoring the facial volume lost by age. In the past, fat transfer methods have been shown to be inconsistent. But new studies have shown that Dr. Freund’s technique may provide as many as 500% more live cells than other methods and that this can lead to more consistent results. The new system, VIAFILL™, will be available in September 2009. It is currently being developed by Lipose Corp.
As an author…
Dr. Freund is known for his willingness to candidly discuss the risks and rewards of cosmetic surgery.
His 2003 book, Cosmetic Breast Surgery: A Guide to Making the Right Choice—from A to Double D, was named Best Consumer Heath Book by Library Journal. His upcoming book, currently titled Beauty Boot Camp: Skincare, Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic Dentistry, Nutrition and Anti-Aging Therapies for the Face, will be out in 2010.
