"New
York's top Park Avenue plastic surgeon" according to Hampton
Magazine, Dr. Pober has been the choice of many celebrities and
is frequently asked to discuss his work in professional
textbooks and lectures as well as with the media. His
innovative skills and natural looking results have made Dr.Pober
world renowned for his cosmetic surgical procedures for
enhancement of the face, eyes, nose, chin, neck, lips, and the
breast as well as his techniques for the body contouring (liposculpture).
Dr.
Pober share many of his techniques with other plastic surgeons by
describing them in professional textbooks, such as the Textbook
of Plastic, Maxillofacial and Reconstructive Surgery, 2nd
Edition, where he discusses the latest cosmetic procedures for
face, neck and brow. His lipocontouring techniques for the
face and body were presented for teaching purposes in another
textbook, Perspectives in Plastic Surgery. Dr. Pober has
been invited to discuss his most advanced techniques of facial
and body sculpting in the "Ultimate Plastic Surgery
Symposium" in order to help spearhead plastic surgery into
the 21st century. In addition to his textbook chapters,
Dr. Pober's skills have been recognized in numerous magazines
and highlighted on many television and radio shows.
Read excerpts of magazine articles in which Dr. Pober has been
quoted.
Currently, this Harvard-MIT graduate is leading advances in many
areas of cosmetic surgery and is constantly looking to the
future. For example, he is currently studying the
induction of new bones growth with researchers in Europe.
This is a more natural approach to enhance facial features such
as the chin, jawline & malar regions. This is destined
to replace facial implants of silicone or other currently used
materials such as hydroxyapatite.

On many a
Sunday afternoon, Joseph Michael Pober, M.D., F.A.C.S.
can be found surrounded by charcoal drawing, oil
paintings and plasticine shavings at his feet in his
Park Avenue studio, sculpting out images he's sure he
can see just under the amorphous mass of clay. Pober
finds inspiration from such painting and statues as
Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" and the
ancient Greek "Venus de Milo" Man's long
search for beauty has taken many forms, and Pober
would add sculpting of human to that long
tradition. It is this art form that has brought
accolades from the media, his peers and, perhaps most
of all, his patients.
New York's top Park
Avenue plastic surgeon suggests that sculpting the
ideal "Venus" starts with Venus
herself. Often the first thing that Dr. Pober
does when patients walk into his office asking for
liposuction is determine their typical weight and
exercise patterns over the past years. "The body
has a target weight," offers the Harvard-MIT
Graduate, "from which it's not likely to stray
far. I encourage patients to do all they can to hit
that target through diet and exercise before we
determine the areas of the body that just aren't going
to respond to other means of weight loss. Whenever
needed I give them an exercise video that I personally
found effective in slimming down the body, and can be
performed in very short periods of time throughout the
day."

Last week I
spent the afternoon in the office of New York plastic
surgeon Joseph Michael Pober, M.D., watching him
change a woman's life. She was 4' 11", and
before she came to him she had a flat-chested bony
body of a child, a big nose, and heavy-lidded eyes
that drooped downward.
He had already given
her breasts and reshaped her nose in two pervious
surgeries. Now he performed a browlift. At one point,
as he forced gauze through an incision and up into her
forehead to soak up blood, I joked that he was like a
magician stuffing a white scarf up a sleeve and
pulling it out red. but there was magic before me, and
I was stunned by the truth of the old cliché: a
single stitch, lifting a single muscle forever,
altered her brow and eyelid by about a centimeter and
rendered her pretty. Such a small discoloration,
such a shift in fate.
When he was finished, I
asked if I could see her breasts, she groggily
assented. We pulled down the sterile blue paper:
She let me touch them: They were full and firm but
pliable, like a taut water balloon. There was no
scar except for a faded line in either armpit, barely
visible under the creamy talc of her deodorant.
If a single pair of
breast wasn't enough to dazzle me, and hour later one
of Pober's secretaries slipped out of her lab coat to
show me her implants. She wore a white cotton
camisole and the voluptuous curve under the stretchy
cotton was breathtaking. Pulling the camisole
up, she proudly let me touch her breasts.
It sounds surreal, and
it was-but even more so when I went home and examined
myself. I usually find my body lovely, but that night
I was a troubled Narcissus. My breast - size 34C -
seemed unremarkable, and when viewed from the side
gently sagged. I imaged the doctor's devastating
assessment, one I'd heard again and again that day as
we flipped through before and after pictures of
patients: "Yes, her breast are nice, there fine
(before), but these are great (after). It
changes her whole look. She looks ten years
younger. "Inevitably, he was right. |
