NYU Langone to open new cosmetic plastic surgery centre

The New York University (NYU) Langone Medical Centre in the US has received $5m funding from the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation to open a new centre of excellence in cosmetic plastic surgery.

To be located at 222 East 41st Street in New York, the new centre will provide surgical cosmetic procedures.

It will be part of NYU Langone’s Hansj?rg Wyss plastic surgery department and will be led by the department’s chair and reconstructive plastic surgery professor Eduardo D Rodriguez.

Dr Rodriguez said: "I am incredibly grateful for the support the Perlmutters have demonstrated to help individuals to look and feel their best.

"The same professional team that performs complex reconstructive cases at NYU Langone also apply their expertise to cosmetic surgery cases in a new, high-end ambulatory setting.”

The Perlmutter Foundation has provided more than $70m for multiple NYU Langone programmes, including the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Centre and cancer research collaborations between NYU Langone and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
