Detailed. Discriminating. Without compromise. This is how patients and peers describe Dr. Lickstein. Your results will be predicated on the techniques, skill, training, experience and judgment of the surgeon you choose. Not every surgeon has the experience and confidence to deliver consistently beautiful results for even the most challenging cases. That is the art behind the science–a combination Dr. Lickstein has built his reputation upon.

Not every surgeon can consistently deliver natural results. The question: What is the fine line between just enough – and too much? Dr. Lickstein has the experience and judgment to know that it is a matter of millimeters, sometimes a single stitch – that is the art behind the science. His philosophy and approach combine world-class skill with a sincere devotion to making a difference for his patients, peers, the specialty and the community. In recognition of his skill and commitment he has been named “Best in Palm Beach Gardens”, one of the “Best Doctors in America”, as well as a Castle Connolly’s regional “Top Doctor” by his peers, which when viewed on a national scale represents more than 63,000 doctors, or the top 7% of doctors in the United States. Tufts University School of Medicine awarded him the Citation for Excellence in Teaching and a special award for the senior resident most supportive of the more junior trainees.

Refreshed, but not Overdone – The first question Dr. Lickstein asks himself with every patient is, “How can I best achieve a natural, non-surgical appearance?” In Dr. Lickstein’s hands, patients can put aside their fears about looking “overdone”, distorted, too tight or obvious. He considers each patient’s distinct brand of beauty something to build upon rather than change. According to Dr. Lickstein, the finest results are those that are so skillfully executed, that no one can quite figure out what has changed.

The Heart of a Teacher – Despite all the information available on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, there exists—in some cases– profound misunderstanding about products, procedures, techniques and application. Dr. Lickstein takes his role as educator seriously and allows time to truly explain the safest, best options to accomplish a patient’s goals. His diciplined, approachable demeanor quickly puts patients at ease.

Why Advanced Training Matters — Microsurgery changes the aesthetic paradigm. Dr. Lickstein’s fellowship in Microsurgery at Harvard Medical School places him well above his peers with an exceptional skill level in a specialty where millimeters matter. His background benefits every patient, whether cosmetic or reconstructive in nature.
