Look Your Best: Cosmetic dermatology with Dr. Lewis Feder and Peachy Deegan


"Look Your Best" is a new column on Whom You Know featuring the expertise of Dr. Lewis Feder! It will concentrate on cosmetic dermatology. Thank you Dr. Feder!

Whom You Know readers are lucky to have this previously featured Mover and Shaker as a guest columnist. DR. FEDER WAS RECENTLY VOTED ONE OF THE TOP 100 COSMETIC SURGEONS IN THE WORLD AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF COSMETIC SURGERY IN CARTEGENA, COLOMBIA.


Lewis M. Feder, M.D. is the prominent New York City cosmetic plastic surgeon and aesthetic dermatologist whose pioneering techniques have received universal acclaim. His dynamic specialties include facial and body rejuvenation, facial resurfacing, and total body liposculpture. As a full-service physician in practice for over twenty years, Dr. Feder performs corrective procedures for all beauty, aesthetic and cosmetic surgical needs at his Fifth Avenue offices and on-premise operating facility.

At the forefront of multiple rejuvenation procedures, Dr. Feder was the first Fifth Avenue signphysician on the East Coast to use collagen implants to help restore contour, elasticity, and firmness to the skin. Now, as one of the first physicians to perform live fat cell grafting, which he calls micro-lipo-foundation, the doctor restores youthfulness to the face and body. Using this procedure, he has successfully treated over five thousand patients. Employing the patient's own fibrofatty tissues, he layers the live fat cells to replace and correct soft tissue defects through micro-implantation throughout the body, with this trademarked technique.

For facial resurfacing, Dr. Feder uses laser therapy or his trademarked chemodermabrasion, a surgical breakthrough hailed internationally. Chemodermabrasion combines chemical peeling with dermabrasion in one procedure to achieve significantly greater benefits than either procedure alone. Dr. Feder has performed more than three thousand facial resurfacings for acne, scarring, sun damage and facial rejuvenation, using both laser or chemodermabrasion.

He is a graduate of Hobart College and New York Medical College. He then did residencies in the U.S. Public Health Service Hospitals and New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, NYC. He also did many fellowships in cosmetic plastic surgery worldwide, including with his mentor, Dr. Pierre Fournier, in Paris, the founder and inventor of syringe-liposculpture. He also worked with Dr. Giorgio Fischer of Rome, Italy - the inventor of liposuction. Recently, Dr. Feder worked with Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze in Moscow, Russia, where Dr. Feder taught his micro-lipo-foundation technique to a group of cosmetic surgeons. Dr. Sulamanidze invented the APTOS® Thread Facial Technique, which Dr. Feder now also uses and is the first doctor in the United States to use this breakthrough procedure. Dr. Feder is a cosmetic surgery consultant to Ethicon, Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson for new product development and technical procedures.
