Statement: Dr. Robert M. Tornambe is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, with over 31 years in practice. While his surgical skill spans all areas of body, breasts, and facial plastic surgery, he specializes in breast enhancement, tummy tucks, and complete mommy makeovers.

As the founder, owner, and medical director of Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tornambe keeps up-to-date on cutting-edge technologies in plastic surgery. In addition to performing a wide range of surgical procedures—including breast augmentation, liposuction, facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and lip augmentation—he also offers nonsurgical aesthetic services, such as Botox, thread lifts, fillers (like Juvéderm and Radiesse), and fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.

Dr. Tornambe is known for his signature facial rejuvenation treatment, the Non-Surgical Makeover: a combination of Botox, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and dermal fillers to address age-related concerns, such as wrinkles, volume loss, hyperpigmentation, and more. This combination results in a refreshed, rejuvenated, and younger-looking appearance, all without the downtimes or risks associated with surgery.

First and foremost, Dr. Tornambe is a physician, dedicated to each of his patient’s unique needs and individual beauty. In his book, “The Beauty Quotient Formula,” he encourages women to let go of the urge to compare themselves to unrealistic celebrity beauty standards. Instead, he invites them to “embrace those attributes that make them beautiful, and learn to accentuate them. Learn to celebrate your best features and set realistic, achievable goals regarding your own beauty,” he says. “It is OK to look like yourself and not someone else.”

Guided by this empowering philosophy, Dr. Tornambe works with his patients to customize each procedure to create natural-looking results that enhance their natural beauty. Building strong relationships with his patients, with honesty and communication, are key to his practice.

Dr. Tornambe embarked on his surgical training with both a general surgery residency and hand surgery fellowship training at Cabrini Medical Center in New York City. He then pursued a plastic surgery residency at University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, followed by an additional fellowship in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery with the renowned plastic surgeon Dr. G. Patrick Maxwell in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dr. Tornambe served as chief of the division of plastic surgery at Cabrini Medical Center in NYC for almost 20 years.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tornambe is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He was named in New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors” issue, and has appeared on the Today Show, Discovery Health, the Charlie Rose Show, NBC News, and Extreme Makeover.

Can a surgeon please explain the facility fee to me?

Facility Fee
Nov 18, 2023

Most board-certified plastic surgeons have a certified operating room in their office or operate out of a surgery center in an effort to cut patient expenses compared to using the hospital operating room, whose fees is much higher. The facility fee covers the cost of running the operating room and the recovery area for the time the patient is there. The fee is used for payment to those staff members helping the plastic surgeon perform the surgery such as the surgical assistant, and...

Should I do a mini face and neck lift or something else?

Micro Liposuction Options
Oct 28, 2023

It appears from your photo that you would benefit from micro liposuction of your jawline and neck region, especially the Submental region below your chin. Using small cannulas allows me to liposuction theses areas to provide well defined and pleasing contours. A chin plant may also be an option for you. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore of the best options for you. Good luck.

Would a mini face and neck lift address my issue?

Micro Liposuction Options
Oct 27, 2023

I appreciate your concerns, but it appears from your photo that your best option may be just micro liposuction of your jawline and neck regions. I utilize small cannulas, which allow removal of fat and improved definition of the neck and lower face. A chin implant may also be an option, but in person evaluation will be needed. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

How can I correctly place implant sizers in a bra?

Breast Implants Size
Oct 26, 2023

I Appreciate your concern however, it is best to perform this maneuver with the assistance of someone from your plastic surgeons office. It is an excellent way to get a general idea of the implant size that you desire. I also ask patients to look for photos of breast sizes that they would like for themselves. This combination greatly increases chances of placing the right implants to satisfy my patients with regard to size and projection. Best of luck.

Surgeon's age - what is your opinion on an older plastic surgeon?

Surgeon Age
Oct 26, 2023

I completely appreciate your concerns. When choosing a plastic surgeon for something as important as a Facelift, experience should be a key factor and obviously someone his age has this experience. I would try to check on his recent reputation, because 80 is a bit old to still be operating, but Certainly not out of the question. Try to find out if he has a younger associate assisting him in the operating room, which is not a bad thing. You also can seek out a second opinion from another...

Do I have tuberous breasts and can the size of my nipples be reduced?

Tuberous Breasts
Oct 11, 2023

I appreciate your concerns, and it appears from your photos that you may have a mild form of tuberous breasts because your areolas appear to demonstrate modest herniation. Areolar reduction may be an option to correct this as you do not have any other signs of tuberous breasts. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

I'm 5'3, 130lbs, & don't like stomach when I sit down, would I benefit from liposuction?

Liposuction Options
Oct 9, 2023

Judging from your photos, it appears you are a good candidate for liposuction, especially if diet and exercise failed. Don't be swayed by glossy ads for sexy liposuction machines. The most important factor you should be researching is your board certified plastic surgeon. The skill and experience of your surgeon is the determining factor in getting the best possible result! Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Asymetrical breast augmentation pricing?

Breast Augmentation Costs
Aug 4, 2023

I appreciate your concerns and breast augmentation with liposuction in the New York City area costs between $8000-$12,000 depending on the exact needs of the individual. This includes cost of the implants. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

How likely would the nipple invert with a periareolar incision for breast augmentation?

Breast Augmentation and Inverted Nipples
Jul 12, 2023

I appreciate your concerns however, you do have options. First off. Correction of the inverted nipples can readily be performed at the same time as your breast augmentation. A very small incision just below the nipple is required for correction. However the incision for your breast augmentation would suit you better when placed in the inframammary fold, especially with your concerns about scarring. The scar is camouflaged by placement within the fold and then covered by the breasts after...

Does placing the implants under the muscle reduce its size? How much?

Breast implant selection
Jun 18, 2023

I appreciate your concern, and the confusion that is derived from placement of implants above or below the muscle. The short answer is placement of the implant above the muscle provides approximately 20% increase as compared to same size implant below the muscle. However, if you are extremely thin or lacking at least some breast tissue, a much more natural result is achieved by placement of the implants under the muscle. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to...

My face is sagging. What procedures am I a candidate for?

Facelift vs Facial Fat Grafting
May 9, 2023

I appreciate your concerns Lillie however, it is hard to make a reasonable recommendation using your submitted photos. Also, your age would be helpful. I have never been a fan of Ultherapy because of results such as yours, and the fact that it rarely works consistently. It appears that your skin integrity is still pretty good and further fat grafting may be all you need. Another option may be MACS MiniFacelift with or without fat grafting. Come see me or another board-certified plastic...

Can I use wider implant than my allowable chest area?

Breast Implants Size
Apr 28, 2023

I appreciate your concern, and I always prefer to select breast implants that have a slightly smaller base diameter than the chest diameter of the individual having the breast augmentation. This prevents the dreaded “side boob” phenomenon where the edge of the implant can be seen in the arm pit. if your surgeon plans to suture the pocket, that could mean that your pocket has widened and needs to be sewn back to appropriate proportions. If you have any doubts, it may be a good idea to obt...

Is 345 CC high profile the smallest implant size I can go?

Breast Augmentation Options
Apr 13, 2023

I appreciate your concerns, however, a photograph of your breasts without clothing, would be needed to better advise you.
Generally speaking, it does sound like those are large implants for someone of your height and weight. Unless you have significant Breast Deflation from previous pregnancies, I do not see why this plastic surgeon is recommending such large implants. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to get a second opinion, and explore the best options...

Want to explant 420cc, under muscle saline implants - do I also need a lift?

Lift After Implant Removal
Apr 6, 2023

I appreciate your concerns however you have a combination of fairly large saline implants and breasts that are fairly ptotic with those implants. The lift will most certainly be needed anfter implants are removed. I understand the concern about the scarring, however, they allow your plastic surgeon to lift and shape your breasts in a most attractive fashion. Also attentive scar care minimizes the scarring in many individuals. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our...

Mini or short scar TT, what would be the best option for flat stomach & smaller waist?

Tummytuck Options
Mar 27, 2023

It sounds like after three pregnancies, you’ve earned a tummy tuck!
It appears from your photos that traditional tummytuck with plication of your abdominal wall should suit your needs nicely as you’ve done a great job with regard to losing the pregnancy weight and achieved good muscle tone. Only the stretched, redundant skin from three pregnancies needs to be corrected, but a mini tummy tuck will not be sufficient. However, the scar will be very low and easily hidden by your bikini or pan...
