Statement: Dr. Leland Deane is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York who’s been in practice for over 35 years. Dr. Deane is a senior partner in the New York Plastic Surgical Group, the oldest continuous plastic surgical practice in North America, with locations in Garden City, Manhattan, and Babylon. He also serves as the Associate Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at the North Shore/LIJ Health System at Southside Hospital and is a faculty member at Cornell University Medical College and NYU School of Medicine.

Dr. Deane specializes in surgery of the breast, body, and face, including breast augmentation, tummy tucks, facelifts, and body lifts, as well as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Additionally, he offers a wide range of nonsurgical treatments, including dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox, chemical peels, scalp therapy, and laser skin resurfacing.

After graduating cum laude from Union College in Schenectady, New York, Dr. Leland pursued his medical degree at State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. Following medical school, he completed a five-year residency in general surgery at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston, followed by a plastic surgery residency at Plastic Surgical Specialists in Norfolk, Virginia, one of the top U.S. programs at the time. He also pursued a fellowship in hand surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Deane is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a former Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Surgery, as well as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). In addition to a medical degree, Dr. Deane also completed an MBA at New York University's Stern School of Business.

When Dr. Deane is not helping his patients reach their aesthetic goals, he is educating future generations of plastic surgeons through speaking and authoring numerous papers in the plastic surgery literature. He has also helped organize and lead missions to Colombia, South America, where he surgically treats congenital malformations in children who may otherwise not have access to such procedures.

Dr. Deane is proud to serve on the advisory board for a few different patient support organizations, including the Mother of Supertwins—a group that provides assistance to families who’ve just had multiples—and the Bariatrics Today/ObesityHelp board, which works with patients who are recovering from weight loss surgery.

The media routinely taps Dr. Deane for his expertise and insights into the field of plastic surgery. He’s made numerous television appearances and has contributed to the New York Post, ABC News, WSJ Television, and Discovery Health Channel.
