Dr. Raskin grew up in Switzerland and earned her M.D. from the University of Geneva. After training in general surgery at New York University she studied ophthalmology at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. She completed plastic surgery training at New York Presbyterian and a plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and an additional fellowship in oculoplastics at the University of Pennsylvania.
After practicing for five years in New York, Dr. Raskin relocated to Greenwich in 2006 and opened her current practice. Genetics, aging, sun exposure and lifestyle factors can impact skin's elasticity, causing it to sag and wrinkle. A facelift is an excellent option for patients who want to tighten their facial skin and reduce wrinkles.

Most of us already realize that we need to take special care of our skin during the summer months. UV rays from the sun can be extremely damaging, and not only are we at much greater risk of experiencing Sunburn, but the trauma caused by exposure to the sun's rays can dry out our skin, . Becoming a new mom is hard enough without dealing with the consequences that having a baby causes for your body.
Our practice is only located one hour from JFK. Out of town patients can stay at the Delamar Hotel, J-House in Greenwich, or Marriot in Rye NY, all those hotels are located only 5 to 10 mins from our downtown Greenwich office. We have nurses available for overnight stays at hotels to help with patients from out of state.
Genetics, aging, sun exposure and lifestyle factors can impact skin's elasticity, causing it to sag and wrinkle. A facelift is an excellent option for patients who want to tighten their facial skin and reduce wrinkles. During this procedure, Dr. Elsa Raskin will make small incisions around your ears, temples, and chin to alter the underlying fat and muscle.
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to reverse the visible signs of aging on the face to create a youthful and natural look. The goal is not to change who you are, but simply take you back to a more youthful version of yourself.
It is important to mention that a facelift will only treat sagging of the tissues, as such additional treatments may be necessary, like facial fillers, to treat the loss of facial volume or skin resurfacing with photo rejuvenation to treat skin changes secondary to sun damage.In the world of facelift surgery today, there are so many marketing terms and techniques such as the lifestyle lift, weekend lift, and liquid facelift.

I was referred to Dr. Raskin by a friend for my surgery and could not be happier with the results. From the moment I met her I knew she could provide me with what I wanted. I had never had surgery before and she was able to clearly explain the entire process in a way that alleviated my fears and concerns. She has absolutely changed my life for the better and I only wish I had been put in touch with her sooner.

I recently went to Dr Raskin for a breast reduction after years of suffering from back and neck pain. It was something I had wanted to do since I was 18 but only recently worked up the courage. Dr. Raskin made it so easy! She and her team, as well as the staff at the surgical center, were incredibly caring, diligent, professional, precise, and cheerful (which went a long way with my nerves!) Now, 4 days post surgery, I can already see and feel the difference. I've only taken extra strength Tylenol so far and the pain/discomfort is very manageable - and it really does get better every day. I highly

My experience with Dr. Raskin and her team can only be described as wonderful. My only regret is not doing it sooner. My surgery has exceeded all my expectations and I am very happy with the results. From the consultation to post-op appointments, Dr. Raskin has always answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She is kind, calm and very thorough. Her office is very responsive and welcoming. She listened exactly to what I wanted and was very clear on what I should expect throughout the whole process. I would 100% recommend Dr. Raskin to all my friends and family.

I interviewed 3 plastic surgeons prior to deciding on Dr Raskin. She stood out for several reasons: first and foremost she listened to my concerns and provided a clear explanation of what to expect. Second she offered additional suggestions based on her assessment of what would enhance/ improve my appearance based on my concerns. I never felt like I was getting a " sales pitch " rather a very seasoned explanation. I felt very prepared for the procedure. Post op care was attentive. Other reviews have mentioned Dr. Raskin's attention to detail. You can expect that. I am very pleased with my results

Dr. Raskin and her team have been amazing from the start. I am thrilled with how easy Dr. Raskin made this process for me and I love my results. She has been really kind and supportive throughout my journey so far.
Finding the right doctor was really important to me and I researched for weeks, anxious about where to go. I found Dr. Raskin and am so glad I did. I highly recommend her, wouldn't go anywhere else.

I decided to have my implants removed after 20+ years. The surgeon who put them in moved to another state. He recommended Dr. Raskin. I researched other Doctors and decided she was the most qualified.
I am very pleased with the results and the quality of her work. In addition to the superior quality, the bonus was her gentle and caring personality. Every time she speaks to me either on the phone or in her office-her caring comes through her voice and her actions.

I originally went to Dr. Raskin 10 years ago for breast augmentation so when it was time to get them replaced I knew, she was going to be my surgeon again. Dr. Raskin takes a holistic approach to breast augmentation and really looks at you as a whole person taking your height, your weight, how active you are, even how your new breasts will age with you. This was very important especially since I'm very athletic. I'm now 6 weeks post op and will update this review when I'm completely healed.

I have/had asymmetric breasts...After 2 surgeons, 4 surgeries, and very discouraged, I booked a consult with Dr Raskin. She was very gracious, attentive to my concerns, and gave me a realists perspective of what to expect. Honest, compassionate, and extremely understanding, she addressed my needs. She explained the pros and the cons, but most of all positive and confident she could improve what others tried to accomplish. End result, I am extremely happy with my new look. They are balanced, similar, and much better than I anticipated. Seriously, I really didn't know how this would all go
