Name: Dilip D. Madnani, MD, FACS

Statement: Dr. Dilip D. Madnani, MD, FACS is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in New York City. Highly skilled in both surgical and nonsurgical facial rejuvenation, Dr. Madnani specializes in facelifts, neck lifts, dermal fillers (including nonsurgical nose jobs) and other facial injectables, as well as skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. His esteemed private medical practice includes two locations: Madnani Facial Plastics in Manhattan and Woodbury, Long Island.

Over the past 14 years, Dr. Madnani has become an in-demand facial plastic surgeons in New York City and beyond, thanks to his unwavering commitment to detail. He prides himself on making each patient’s experience a thoroughly considered, safe, and comfortable experience, from consultation to final outcome.

Dr. Madnani is an identical twin, which contributed to his fascination with the face. “People have a hard time telling us apart, so I have spent my lifetime examining and studying faces: what makes us 'identical' and different,” he explains. “After years of medical and surgical training, my further study into the aging face and the balance of facial features takes this to another level. It’s amazing how small tweaks using injectable fillers, or neck and jawline contouring, can improve this balance and instill confidence.”

He revels in an individualized approach that focuses on balancing facial features, not imitating a narrow ideal of beauty. “Having grown up in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. and travelled around the world, seeing the face from the view of different cultures and ethnicities is very important for me. That’s the best part about practicing in New York—it really is a melting pot, and I am privileged to work with faces from all over the world.”

After receiving his Bachelor of Science from Brown University, Dr. Madnani went on to complete his medical degree and a residency in Head and Neck Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he currently holds a faculty position as a Clinical Assistant Professor.

Dr. Madnani holds board certifications from the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. “I fell in love with the head and neck anatomy in my last year in medical school, at an obscure anatomy lecture,” Dr. Madnani explains. “It's beautiful, with intricate nerves and layers of muscles. It requires precision and artistry to get consistently incredible results, and there is no hiding them. Patients wear your work proudly and look at it constantly. That’s why I love doing what I do.”

Dr. Madnani has won many prestigious awards, such as Castle Connolly Top Doctor and Vitals Patients’ Choice, and has served on several boards, including the RealSelf Medical Advisory Board, the BioMedX Medical Advisory Board, and the NewBeauty Digital Advisory Board.

Philanthropy is also at the heart of Dr. Madnani’s work. He travels annually with Operation International on medical missions to provide life-changing direct medical and surgical services for patients in need, free of charge.

“It's a privilege to be a part of the restored confidence that ensues after these transformations,” says Dr. Madnani. “That’s what keeps me engaged and learning to improve every day.”
