Meet Dr. Lotfi

Dr. Philip Lotfi is a board-certified cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon practicing in New York City, renowned for his expertise in facial cosmetic surgery.  He is a pioneer in the Combination-Plane facelift, a cutting-edge approach that integrates techniques from both the deep-plane facelift and the SMAS facelift to achieve optimal, natural, long lasting results.

Dr. Lotfi believes that facial rejuvenation should always maintain a natural appearance, enhancing each patient’s unique features rather than altering their identity. His holistic approach is rooted in achieving balanced, harmonious results that reflect the patient’s authentic self.

To maximize results, Dr. Lotfi integrates advanced non-surgical techniques such as lasers, microneedling, and injectables into his practice. These treatments are carefully tailored and applied both before and after surgery to optimize healing, refine outcomes, and enhance the overall patient experience.

After completing his biology degree at Emory University, Dr. Lotfi attended the New York University School of Medicine, where he also conducted a prestigious research fellowship at the Hansjorg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, specializing in fibrosis and scar-less wound healing. He then completed his integrated Plastic Surgery residency at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York’s top hospital, training at affiliated institutions including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, Columbia University Medical Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery.

Dr. Lotfi has been published in leading journals such as Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Journal of Medicine and has lectured nationally and internationally on various plastic surgery topics. His practice is dedicated to helping patients achieve natural, balanced results through advanced facial cosmetic surgery and personalized care.
