What recent patients say
4.8 / 5 · 371 Google reviewsDr Pearlman is a skilled surgeon and artist and I highly recommend him now 1 year post primary rhinoplasty !! He told me as I had thick nose skin, it would take over a year for me to see the full results and for the healing process. He was right and I’m so glad I waited it out before losing hope as the initial swelling made me feel concerned but it subsided as he said ! Now I have a natural looking result that looks a lot better and more refined! I rarely used to get compliments on my face and now I do ! But the main thing is how great I feel inside and glad I made the decision to do the surgery. Lisa is also a very skilled and kind aesthetician and I highly recommend her for the moxie laser !! All of the staff including Shika and Stephanie were kind, caring and assisted me throughout my emotional journey. Highly recommend !
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Pearlman and his team for septorhinoplasty. A big thank you to Christine Ross (who is an amazing injector) for recommending Dr. Pearlman to me. I am so glad I made this choice. I am still in the healing phase, but it is already clear that Dr. Pearlman is incredibly skilled and delivers beautiful, natural results. Since then, I can also breathe so much better, sleep through the night, and even have fewer headaches. The entire process felt seamless thanks to Stefanie, who made everything easy and stress-free, and Shikha, who was such a kind and attentive nurse throughout. I also had a fantastic hydrafacial with Gaetana! Overall, I couldn't be happier and highly recommend the entire team of Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery!
I had the best Halo/BBL treatment with Christine this winter. I have had other laser treatments before and had done research on Halo in advance and found Christine to be so knowledgeable in my consult that I knew I was in great hands. I found the pre-laser protocol highly effective and WOW am I impressed with this post laser glow! I have been skipping foundation for weeks, which is a first! The treatment itself was great, and as painless as possible between the cold air wand, numbing and laughing gas. The post-care instructions were comprehensive and so helpful. Everyone I worked with at the practice was so accommodating and responsive (shoutout to Diep for being so helpful!) I will definitely be returning for future treatments.
So thankful for this amazing staff and Christine! Nowhere else do I trust for laser x

Dr. Pearlman's Surgical Approach
Dr. Steven Pearlman approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin's surface to reposition the face's deeper structural layers.
Dr. Steven Pearlman approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin's surface to reposition the face's deeper structural layers. This distinguishes the technique from older methods that relied mainly on pulling the skin tighter.
Central to the deep plane method is the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer of tissue and muscle that supports the face). Dr. Pearlman releases and elevates this layer rather than simply folding or stitching it.
