A Career Focused on Facial Plastic Surgery
Dr. Siegel was born and raised in Mexico City. After starting his studies in Mexico City, he emigrated to Florida to complete his undergraduate degree, with honors from The University of South Florida, and advancing his education by achieving a medical degree from The George Washington University School of Medicine. Residency and specialties in facial surgery followed as Dr. Siegel dedicated the next seven years of his career mastering the intricacies of facial anatomy.
He obtained his first board-certification through the AAOHNS (American Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery), followed by a second specialty in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, after completing extensive, hands-on training in this discipline through the AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery).
Dr. Siegel: A Unique Philosophy in Aesthetic Facial Surgery
After his extensive training, Dr. Siegel grew frustrated with the status quo of Plastic Surgery. Too tight, too pulled, and too “plastic” was the norm. Extreme and/or unnecessary surgeries did not lead to natural-looking, balanced results.
Over the last decade, Dr. Siegel has refined each of his facial procedures. Whether it’s a subtle plumping with a facial filler, an innovative vertical facelift surgery, or a rhinoplasty, his approach is to enhance, not change.
An Eye for Balance and Beauty
Patients from all walks of life, including newscasters, working or career moms, Miss Universe contestants, housewives, and politicians, among others, have trusted Dr. Siegel for facial surgery, not only because of his credentials, experience, and his “eye” for aesthetic balance, and because he takes a personal interest in each patient, driven to achieve a result that brings them greater confidence and an improved quality of life.
