What recent patients say
4.6 / 5 · 79 Google reviewsThank you to Dr. Mitz for his warm and welcoming reception in his lovely office. He gave me excellent advice. John Pasquale
I had breast reduction surgery with Dr. Mitz almost three years ago and I am extremely satisfied with the result. My breasts are perfect, the work was meticulous, and the follow-up care was very professional. I am so glad I trusted this surgeon. As my family surgeon since 1988, I recommend him without hesitation. A big thank you for his dedication and professionalism.
Dr. Mitz performed blepharoplasty on me a few years ago, and I was very satisfied: the result was very natural. Then, in 2023, he performed liposuction on my abdomen. I am delighted with the result. I consult him regularly for cosmetic medicine and appreciate his professionalism and kindness every time. What's more, he doesn't try to upsell me. So, a big thank you to this exceptional person for the good he brings to women!
I saw an interview with Dr. Mitz on Radio J, an interview conducted by Dr. Rafal (who has been my primary care physician for over 10 years, in whom I have complete confidence), to discuss Dr. Mitz's book "Rejuvenate." At 58 years old, I was wondering about a future facelift. Listening to Dr. Mitz's interview, I found it very interesting, demonstrating an almost ethnological approach (from the moral position to adopt in the face of aging to the desire to live daily) but above all deeply human and passionate. I read a few negative reviews, one of which mentioned Dr. Mitz's age. What? He's over 80? If that's the case, he's the best advertisement for his art. I'd like to have his intellectual vivacity in 20 years! On the Radio J video, his hands tremble as little as his words. Honestly, this wonderful interview makes me want to go see Dr. Mitz and have him give me a few years less. Dr. Mitz, I'll see you on Doctolib!

Dr. Mitz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Vladimir Mitz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface layers of the face to reposition the deeper structures that shift with age.
Dr. Vladimir Mitz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface layers of the face to reposition the deeper structures that shift with age. This distinguishes the technique from older methods that relied primarily on skin tension.
The foundation of this approach is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. This is a continuous fibrous and muscular layer beneath the skin that supports the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Dr. Mitz's website specifically highlights the role of the SMAS in modern facelift surgery.
