Dr. Jeffrey S. Epstein is a Diplomate of both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery
A Voluntary Assistant Professor at the University of Miami Department of Otolaryngology/ Division of Facial Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), Dr. Epstein has over 22 years specializing in primary and revision rhinoplasty surgery.
As a fellowship trained, triple-board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Epstein performs on average four to five rhinoplasty surgeries weekly, approximately half of which are revisions. This experience provides him with a unique perspective on the nose, understanding not only what makes it look good, but also how to preserve its structure and support to assure clear breathing passages and long lasting cosmetic results. His extensive training, innate aesthetic skills, and passion for perfection are combined with the most advanced surgical methods, enabling him to create noses that are both in harmony with the rest of the face and natural-looking. As you can see from his many before and after photos, Dr. Epstein’s goal is ultimately to make his patients happy.
To further assure Dr. Epstein that he achieves the highest level of patient happiness with the results of surgery, he utilizes computer imaging to better communicate with his patients. After taking the time in consultation to learn of the patient’s goals, as well as to explain to the patient what can be accomplished and what he recommends, Dr. Epstein emails the computer image photos to the patient, giving the opportunity to view these images from the privacy of home and to provide feedback as to what is liked and what changes are desired in the image- a back-and-forth interaction that assures the best outcome. What makes this process so effective in Dr. Epstein’s hands is that the computer images are realistic- a fact noted by many patients when they remark that many of the “real” after photos are more aesthetic than the computer imaging views.

Dr. Epstein meets with patients not only in his main office in Miami where he also performs surgery in his accredited facility, but also monthly in consultation in his NYC office. Patients also have the opportunity to have an initial evaluation without being seen in person through photos sent by email, and if desired, a webcam consultation. Over the past 20 years, patients from all 50 United States and over 95 countries have traveled to be treated by Dr. Epstein, choosing him for his expertise, confidence, and accessibility.
Dr. Epstein annually is named one of the Best Surgeons in America and listed in Castle Connolly’s Top Doctor Guide, an impartial resource that catalogs quality doctors in a variety of medical fields. Dr. Epstein was listed in this prestigious publication only after peer nomination and an extensive research and screening process.

Dr. Epstein is a graduate of Swarthmore College and received his medical training at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. He continued his training in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery (Ear, Nose and Throat) at the University of Miami. Upon completing his residency in 1993, he was awarded a Fellowship by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery studying under Sheldon Kabaker, MD, a recognized leader and authority in facial cosmetic surgery and in particular rhinoplasty. Upon completion of this training in the San Francisco area, he received the Jack Anderson Memorial Award by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery for attaining the highest score in the nation on his board exams.
Dr. Epstein has been in solo practice since 1994 in Miami, and has been seeing patients in NYC since 2005. In addition to his active clinical practice, he has written many scientific articles and surgical textbook chapters, and teaches fellows and residents at the University of Miami.
He is recognized by the lay press as an expert in the field of facial plastic surgery and appears regularly in the media.
Recognition in 1999 by his peers culminated in his being elected President of the Florida Society of Facial Plastic Surgery. He also teaches his techniques regularly at national and international meetings.
Dr. Epstein’s Practice Philosophy
The means and skills to change an individual’s appearance impart an incredibly important responsibility. Dr. Epstein’s approach is to provide the most natural appearance, assuring the patient’s features are in harmony with the rest of the face and body.
Sometimes the patient is concerned about and would benefit most from the improvement of limited features – in this case, it is not necessary to “re-sculpt” the entire nose but rather to successfully and conservatively deliver the improvement. Other times, whether repairing the work done prior or operating on a nose with multiple cosmetic deficiencies, a more extensive surgery is required. These procedures usually require a structural approach- strengthening the structures of the nose to assure not only a natural appearance but also one that lasts for years and years.
Similarly, when performing nasal surgery, it is important to maintain or improve the patient’s breathing function. With his background and training in otolaryngology, Dr. Epstein is well suited to do this and for over 22 years this approach has served both his patients and he well. Dr. Epstein performs hundreds and hundreds of surgeries every year with particular concentration in rhinoplasty.
Dr. Epstein’s patients come from throughout the world, many finding out about his work from other doctors as well as through the internet.
