Dr. Oren Friedman

With more than 25 years in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Oren Friedman is a Philadelphia-based facial plastic surgeon who focuses on the deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty, and comprehensive facial rejuvenation. As of July 2026, Dr. Friedman practices within Penn Medicine and maintains a private practice serving both Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Oren Friedman is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), a credential focused specifically on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck. This specialty focus distinguishes surgeons who concentrate their careers on the face rather than the whole body.

Dr. Friedman completed their medical education at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the oldest medical schools in the United States. This academic foundation continues through Dr. Friedman's affiliation with Penn Medicine, a teaching and research institution.

Dr. Friedman's clinical work centers on the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach addresses the underlying structures responsible for facial aging.

The deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). By releasing and repositioning this layer, the technique aims for natural-looking, longer-lasting rejuvenation.

Beyond facelifting, Dr. Friedman offers a broad range of services. Their practice includes rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, preservation rhinoplasty, otoplasty, eyelid surgery, and liposuction of the face and neck.

Their rhinoplasty experience is notable within their practice. Dr. Friedman performs both primary and revision nasal surgery, including preservation techniques that aim to keep more of the nose's natural framework.

Skin care is an integrated part of the practice philosophy. Services such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, IPL photofacials, and laser hair removal complement surgical rejuvenation.

Dr. Friedman's approach emphasizes facial harmony over dramatic change. Their stated interest in age prevention reflects a philosophy that combines surgical and non-surgical strategies for maintaining a rested, natural appearance.

Recovery is a central topic in every deep plane facelift consultation. Patients typically experience swelling and bruising in the first two weeks, with a gradual return to social activities over the following month.

The practice welcomes out-of-town patients. Dedicated resources on hotels, dining, and exploring Philadelphia reflect an established process for guiding travelers through their surgical journey.

Philadelphia offers a meaningful backdrop for facial surgery. A historic East Coast city with a strong academic medical culture, it combines accessibility with a deep concentration of teaching hospitals.

Dr. Friedman's dual practice locations give patients flexibility. Consultations and follow-up care are available in central Philadelphia as well as the suburban setting of Bryn Mawr.

Their long tenure in facial plastic surgery reflects sustained focus on a single anatomical region. Surgeons who dedicate decades to the face develop refined judgment about tissue behavior, healing, and natural proportion.

For women considering facial rejuvenation in their fifties and sixties, Dr. Friedman represents an established Philadelphia option. Dr. Friedman's combination of ABFPRS credentialing, academic affiliation, and quarter-century of experience positions Dr. Friedman as a well-regarded regional choice for deep plane facelift surgery.
