She understands that little things, like where you place incisions and how you close them, make a big difference. 

“My primary focus is your appearance, safety, and well-being.”

As one of NYC’s best plastic surgeons, Dr. Klausner’s training and background have given her a unique angle to listen to your problems and present you with solutions to your aging health. As one of a select few female facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Klausner is in touch with the modern-day needs of patients seeking natural results. It is the artful use of invasive techniques in combination with noninvasive techniques that gives Dr. Klausner’s patients optimal results. This balance of the surgical with the nonsurgical helps her patients still look like themselves, only better.

“Patients want to look their best without losing the essence of who they are in the process.”

What sets Dr. Klausner apart is her compassion and ability to connect with her patients, listen to their concerns, and formulate a customized plan to address their goals. Her approach centers around providing her patients with treatment options, from noninvasive and minimally invasive to surgical or a combination, so that her patients can make choices that best suit their needs and lifestyle.

“There is a tremendous responsibility that comes with earning a patient’s trust.”

Dr. Klausner believes earning a patient’s trust starts with recommending the appropriate procedures that a patient needs to achieve his or her goals without pushing or selling anything, and continues with doing the best she can to exceed the patient’s expectations.

In addition to the above-mentioned certifications and memberships, Dr. Klausner is a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
