Philosophy

Dr. Ellenbogen attributes his success to four factors: First...utilization of his "artist's eye" to create realism. Secondly...keeping abreast of all procedures performed around the world, and adding those he deems meritorious to his own. Third...his ability to form an understanding of the patient's needs and desires. And lastly...he scrupulously adheres to safety and avoidance of complications. After observing, evaluating and qualifying a patient (both physically and emotionally), Dr. Ellenbogen tries to instill trust so that he can come as close as possible to delivering just what the patient expects. "My word is very important to me. I never promise what I can't deliver. I have dedicated myself to the highest standards of the Art of Plastic Surgery, but I never forget the human element. The goal of a plastic surgeon is to improve a patient's self image, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My staff and I try to give patients a very positive experience with as little inconvenience and discomfort as possible. We are experienced professionals, who strive to the highest standards available."

About Dr. Ellenbogen

Education

Education

While at the University of Florida, Richard Ellenbogen preferred his art classes to his pre-med courses. He went on to graduate from the University of Miami Medical School in 1968. He then completed general surgery training in New York City. To satisfy an interest in plastic surgical correction of birth defects, Dr. Ellenbogen traveled to The Hague, Netherlands, where he served a fellowship at the Red Cross Hospital. When he returned to the United States, Dr. Ellenbogen served a fellowship in hand surgery at the prestigious Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City. During his training in New York, he worked as an assistant police surgeon in the South Bronx. Dr. Ellenbogen competed his residency at the State University of New York in Plastic, Maxillofacial and Reconstructive Surgery. This portrait artist-turned surgeon found his medium and has excelled in his field since.

Dr. Ellenbogen moved to Los Angeles in 1975, and in 1978 he became board certified in Plastic Surgery. His personal medical suite was designed with state of the art outpatient operating rooms and museum quality antiques, which Dr. Ellenbogen refinished himself. Since 1980, his practice has been limited to cosmetic surgery, but Dr. Ellenbogen still performs reconstructive birth defects surgery and consults on cases involving complicated reconstructive surgery. As a well-published plastic surgeon, Dr. Ellenbogen has written textbooks and scientific journal articles on facelift, eyelid surgery, forehead lift, breathing and cosmetic nasal surgery, underarm breast enlargement, and liposuction techniques, as well as research on silicone. Many of the techniques he has helped create are used and referred to by plastic surgeons all over the world today.

A two time recipient of the American Medical Association Physicians Recognition Award, Dr. Ellenbogen is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the American Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Society, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the International College of Surgeons, and a clinical instructor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Southern California. Dr. Ellenbogen keeps current by attending and lecturing at international conferences at least once each year. In giving plastic surgery its proper prospective, he sometimes views his specialty as a way to "jumpstart people" who would benefit by having their self-image enhanced. Dr. Ellenbogen offers his patients a good heart, a sense of humor, and an artist's eye.
