In The News

When Wired 96.5 radio wanted to launch a new “Ask the Expert” feature on Cosmetic Breast Surgery, they chose Dr. Ted Eisenberg as their expert because of his experience with over 4,000 breast augmentations and because he is the only Philadelphia plastic surgeon specializing in breast enhancement.

In August, Dr. Eisenberg was a featured speaker at “Girls Night Out,” an event sponsored by Physician Body Solutions of Philadelphia. At the evening dedicated to informing women about treatments and products to help them look their best, Dr. Eisenberg spoke about cosmetic breast surgery: an overview of the procedure, the reasons women cite for having breast augmentation, his thoughts about saline vs. silicone implants, and what women can expect after surgery. Dr. Victoria Falcone, Medical Director of PBS, presented information about facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and new weight management options.

Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Ted
Using a pioneering technique involving soft tissue expansion, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Eisenberg created a new nose for Doris Quirk, an operating room nurse who lost her nose to cancer. Although a prosthetic nose was made for her, she hated having to take it off at night. She wanted to have a restoration with her own skin and bone. Dr. Eisenberg accomplished this by placing a tissue expander in Doris' forehead; he then used expanded skin from the forehead and bone from her hip. The story was featured in the following media:

Pete Melchionne had tried everything from hair transplants and synthetic implants to wearing hairpieces and hats to cover the unsightly scars in his scalp, from shrapnel wounds suffered when he was a young Marine in North Korea. In a groundbreaking plastic surgery operation performed in the Philadelphia area for the first time, Dr. Eisenberg implanted tissue expanders filled with saline in Pete's scalp and slowly stretched it over four months. When the implants were removed, Dr. Eisenberg cut away the bald area and sewed the hair-covered flaps together, giving Pete a full head of hair. The story was featured in the following media:
