Robert H. GotkinDr

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify plastic surgeons, Dr. Robert H. Gotkin is a premier New York City cosmetic surgeon renowned for his expertise in liposuction, body contouring and aesthetic facial surgery.  In addition, he is an expert in the use of lasers, filling agents and Botox® or similar injectable neuromodulators for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Gotkin is a pioneer in the use of the FDA-approved Smartlipo™ laser – for gentle, laser-assisted liposculpting – and Cellulaze, the first minimally invasive cellulite treatment that provides visible, long-lasting improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Dr. Gotkin has found that Smartlipo can be used on most areas of the body to gently “Get Rid of FRED” – Fat Resistant to Exercise and Diet – and to smooth and tighten the overlying skin.  One of his signature procedures, the Ipanema Tummy Tuck®, uses Smartlipo to help make the tummy tuck gentler and less invasive.  At the same time he can sculpt a flatter, tighter abdomen with “six pack” muscle definition.
