Glasgold Group

New Jersey plastic surgeon Mark Glasgold, MD, FACS, is an internationally recognized expert in the rejuvenation of the aging face. He devotes his practice to facial cosmetic surgery in order to focus on achieving the finest and most natural results for his patients. He is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Highland Park and Princeton, NJ, who is recognized for his skill in performing facelifts, necklifts, fat transfer and eyelid surgery, and for his expertise with injectable fillers. “By limiting my practice exclusively to cosmetic facial rejuvenation, I have been able to produce consistent, long-lasting and natural results,” Dr. Glasgold said. “My patients at the Glasgold Group consistently report that they look better and younger after surgery. It is not unusual for patients to tell me that their surgery was one of the best investments they have ever made.” Rejuvenating the aging face is both an art and a science. As a specialist infacial rejuvenation, Dr. Glasgold is skilled in the most medically advanced and cosmetically up-to-date procedures. He regularly shares his expertise with his peers on facelifts, facial fat transfer and the achievement of natural results as a lecturer at national medical conferences and training programs. “Patients worry that they are going to look ‘done’ or unnatural following cosmetic surgery. They often question why celebrities seem to turn out poorly after such surgery,” he said.“The answer is that many cosmetic surgeons recommend inappropriate operations such as browlifts that almost always produce an unnatural appearance. In addition, patients may request procedures that typically produce unnatural results, such as making the upper lip larger than the lower. Using appropriate analysis and treatment protocols, I have never produced an unnatural or ‘done-looking’ result.” Patient satisfaction is Dr. Glasgold’s primary goal. From the moment they are first greeted by The Glasgold Group’s friendly and accommodating staff through their post-operative visits, patients receive the highest level of care and attention. “I want patients to feel that we have met or exceeded their expectations,” Dr. Glasgold says. By achieving natural and durable results with exceptionally minimal healing time, Dr. Glasgold is widely sought after and respected for his work in facial rejuvenation. He is a frequent contributor to medical journals and lectures regularly to his peers at medical conferences on his approaches to achieving the most natural results. Dr. Glasgold completed his fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery under the auspices of the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) in 1995. He then spent an additional year learning the techniques of the country’s leading facelift surgeons. He concluded that the modified deep-plane facelift offered patients the most natural and desirable results. He committed himself to mastering this procedure and has successfully performed more than 1,000 deep-plane facelifts. “Patients are often confused by the types of facelifts that are advertised under different names. The fancy names can be misleading. In reality, they are simpler procedures that are being represented as unique or advanced,” said Dr. Glasgold. “The modified deep-plane facelift that I perform with the Glasgold Group requires the highest level of training and technical skill in order to master, so it may not be the procedure of choice for many doctors. But in the hands of a skilled cosmetic surgeon, the modified deep-plane facelift produces the most natural and longest lasting results of any facelift procedure.” Dr. Mark Glasgold began performing autologous fat transfer in 1997 and is now regarded as an international expert in this procedure, in which the patient is both donor and recipient. In 2004, he organized the first Facial Fat Transfer Workshop for the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. He and his brother, Dr. Robert Glasgold, and his former student, Dr. Sam Lam, authored the medical textbook, Complementary Fat Transfer, used by physicians worldwide as a reference and guide to this procedure. “Facial fat grafting works best when it complements the other procedures I perform. It is the key to producing truly youthful and natural results,” he explains. Dr. Glasgold also is a nationally acknowledged expert in using fat grafting to repair traumatic fat loss resulting from laser and “thermage”-type procedures. “These patients are often traumatized from their experience and are extremely grateful for any hope of improvement. The results in these patients are consistent and excellent and they among the most satisfied patients.” Dr Glasgold continues to be a leader in the area of fat transfers. He is one of the first surgeons in the country to perform autologous regenerative cell enhanced fat transfer breast augmentation.

Dr. Robert Glasgold feels that well done facelifts and blepharoplasties reflect a natural youthful appearance. He encourages patients to look beyond the current plastic surgery fads and heavily advertised procedures, and consider the aesthetic result they hope to achieve. “Patients routinely stress that they want to look younger and natural, not done. They want to see a more youthful version of themselves in the mirror, one that reflects the way they feel inside. I couldn’t agree more with the quest for natural-looking results. An unnatural appearance in general, is always the result of a cookie-cutter approach,” adds Dr. Glasgold. During your initial consultation, both surgical and non-surgical options are explored. Dr. Robert Glasgold will spend a considerable amount of time listening to your concerns and discussing your possibilities. He states, “In most instances, the signs of aging are not found in the fine lines visible only with magnification. Big-picture changes, such as the development of shadows, loss of youthful highlights and changes in facial shape, account for an aged appearance.” Patients often bring photographs of their younger selves. These are ideal tools in approaching facial rejuvenation and demonstrate the youthful qualities we should be aiming to restore.” Dr. Glasgold is a skilled surgeon with expertise in surgical options that include facelifts, blepharoplasties and fat transfers. He is also well known and respected for his expertise in non-surgical options, which include fillers. “Understanding the different procedures and non-surgical options available is crucial to patients feeling comfortable with their decision. Their satisfaction and obtaining great results are of utmost importance. I feel very strongly about giving my patients the time and information I would want if our roles were reversed”, states Dr. Glasgold.

He sees patients in consultation from California, New Mexico, North Carolina and other states regularly, as well as patients who fly in from England, France, India and Russia, to name but a few countries. Dr. Robert Glasgold has a distinguished reputation as a premier facial plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. He can help you achieve a result that will complement your features or, correct poor results from previous surgery. The hallmark of excellent rhinoplasty is a natural-looking nose that complements the face rather than dominating or overwhelming it. “Most people are coming in with a nose that is out of proportion with the rest of their facial features. Patients are often very conscious of how others perceive them and want to change the appearance of their nose, but are concerned that their nose will look unnatural or even “out of place” after surgery.” I emphasize that the nose after surgery should blend with their facial features to allow the other aspects of their face to shine through,” says Dr. Robert Glasgold. During the initial consultation, Dr. Glasgold will talk with you at length about what it is you want to achieve, he will use computer imaging to give you a realistic idea of how your nose will look after surgery and show you results achieved on other patients (we always get patient consent to show their pictures). Dr. Robert Glasgold is also highly skilled and experienced in revision rhinoplasty. Patients seeking revision rhinoplasty to correct poor results from a previous surgery usually have been left with a nose that is drawing attention to itself, either from inappropriate proportions, inadequate definition of the nasal tip, or too much visibility of the nostrils. Dr. Glasgold uses the latest techniques to correct these flaws and to rebuild the nose into a shape that is aesthetically pleasing. “Your nose should look like it always belonged on your face. No one wants to look like they had their nose done,” says Dr. Glasgold. “Most patients are focused on certain aspects that make the nose a dominant feature on their face, drawing attention away from their eyes, cheeks or other features. Reshaping the nose so that it appears natural is crucial.” In both his primary and revision rhinoplasties, Dr. Glasgold prides himself on achieving a long-lasting result that not only compliments their face, but takes into consideration the patient’s ethnic background.
