I couldn’t be more pleased with my facelift... lost 10 years in a weeks time! I feel and look completely myself but without jowls and double chin! Best gift for myself ... thank you Dr. Antell!

Thank you so much Dr. Antell ! I absolutely loved everything you did for me. You were very nice and professional and provided the best care. I was debating for 2 years about getting my Earlobe repaired and I was quite nervous but when I made the decision and met Dr. Antell at the appointment, he explained the procedure thoroughly and made me feel comfortable. I knew right away I was in the right hands. Now I am so happy that I will be able to wear earrings again. Hurray!!! He is the best and I recommend him to everyone!

I really enjoyed my experience at Dr. Antell's office! His support team was professional, friendly, and made sure I was taken care of throughout my appointment to remove a growth on my ear. Dr. Antell walked me through his plan for treatment and answered all of my questions regarding safety and what to expect in terms of recovery. I was dreading this procedure, yet Dr. Antell's bedside manner made me feel confident that I made the right choice in moving forward with surgery. His surgical expertise was clear as he prepped for the procedure and dove right into it! I felt no pain during recovery and had no additional bleeding. His office has been wonderful in following up and answering any questions about aftercare. I'm healing up wonderfully and it looks like there won't be any scarring or noticeable blemishes at the site of the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Antell without ANY reservations!

I was absolutely blown away by Dr. Antell, his charming staff, and the great care he puts into his work. I am a repeat patient of his, having first visited after an accident left a big scar on my forehead. My more recent visits have included several injections of Botox and fillers, all of which went very smoothly. I don't normally write on review sites, but felt compelled to express my positive feelings for Dr. Antell. He truly is the best surgeon in New York, as his numerous articles and papers suggest! Sincerely, Daniel

Besides Dr. Antell's perfect results, he and his entire staff are extremely professional, reliable, caring, timely and always made themselves available. The experience with Dr. Antell and his staff always had a personal touch...always taking the time to understand the patient's needs and lifestyle. My experience was positive in every aspect which is why I believe the results are amazing.

Dr. Antell is absolutely amazing. He is so kind and has a wonderful bedside manner. His talent as a surgeon is unparalleled, but unlike other talented docs in NYC, it’s not about ego for him - it’s just about making sure his patients are 100% happy. I needed revision surgery, and in the 48 hours leading up to the procedure, I got separate calls from Dr. Antell, his absolutely amazing RN Emerald, and the wonderful anesthesiologist just to check in and make sure I was prepared and didn’t have any concerns. They all made me feel safe and really calmed my nerves. The follow up post-procedure was equally impressive. I received daily calls from my RN just checking in and quick answers from Dr. Antell regarding any questions i had about postoperative care.

I have waited a few years to write a review of Dr. Antell and the procedure I received (Lower Body Lift). While Dr. Antell and his staff were cordial and timely, I felt the post-operative care was lacking. At the time, I had come to Dr. Antell after losing over 100 pounds during my first year of college. This had left me with saggy skin around my abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, as well as a bit of skin around my breast area. I had wavered between getting an abdominoplasty and a lower body lift. In the second procedure, a cut is made around the entire lower half of the waist ("Bikini line") and skin is removed from both the upper and lower body. The procedure went seamlessly, but I was not allowed to do any strenuous activity for the recommended two months. The procedure left me with a scar that Dr. Antell assured me would decrease in size. A few years later, the scar remains and has become bigger in a few areas (i.e. keloided). While keloids are a risk to which some people are prone, I felt he could have offered more specific advise on how to prevent or treat them rather than "rub soap on the scar daily." I was also concerned with the appearance of my love handles, fat in my pubic area just below the scar, and the appearance of new stretchmarks on my back. When I approached him, he claimed the bulges in the pubic area and back are inflammation. Years later, they are still there. The stretch marks he said were there already and pointed to a tuft of back hair in a black and white picture of my back before the procedure. While he certainly removed a significant amount of skin (~3 ft), I felt he did not do enough to address the concerns of fat deposits on my skin. I have continued to work out and work hard and removing the appearance of fat in those areas to no avail. In addition, the skin around my thighs is still significantly loose. I am actually looking into correcting or addressing the issues I had after the surgery with Dr. Antell. I give him an average rating because the appearance of my skin was improved but it was far from being good. I felt excuses were made rather than addressing issues at hands. I paid over $20,000 for the procedure. I would expect a bit more of a result. I was not asking for a miracle but I am asking for something that is worth the hard work I put into my body. P.S. As a word of advise, ask the doctor when she or he last did the specific procedure you are requesting. While a plastic surgeon may be good in one area, she or he may not be good in another. In hindsight, I felt he may have been a bit rusty in the procedure I requested.

I am an anesthesiologist and during my career I have participated in more than EIGHTY THOUSAND surgical operation. More than TWENTY THOUSAND of them were plastic surgical procedure. I have spent long hours with many plastic surgeons in their operating rooms. Dr. Darrick Antell was always THE BEST of them. His demeanor, clinical judgement, temperament, and surgical skills are always above and beyond his call of duty. He has built the best surgical facility in New York and cultivated the most professional and attentive staff. Do not hesitate - you will not regret choosing Dr. Antell as your plastic surgeon.

- I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Antell and his staff. I came in for breast implant removal / breast implant exchange and I could not be more satisfied! Dr. Antell listened to all my concerns and gave me exactly what I asked for. I was referred by a friend and I’m so happy I was. I would definitely recommend Dr. Antell for anyone who is thinking about getting this procedure!

Ellyn Kaufman

Our 18 year old daughter just recently had a rhinoplasty by Dr. Antell who came highly recommended by our close friend whose daughter also had the same surgery. We were extremely impressed by Dr. Antell from the moment we met him....he is very warm and personable...and spent enough time with us to explain the procedure and answer all our questions. The surgery was done in his office surgical suite and within a couple of hours we were back home recuperating with little discomfort and minimal bruising. We are so pleased with her surgical result, it looks so natural...we can hardly stop looking at her! Thank you Dr. Antell for making our beautiful daughter look even more beautiful....from every angle!!! Many thanks to your wonderful staff and Nurse as well!!

Dr. Antell is the best! I had chin implant and buccal fat removal 6 months ago and I`m very happy with the results. He is not just a talented artist but also an amazing and kind person. I would recommend him to other patients looking for a good surgeon!

This was my first visit to a plastic surgeons office. Dr. Antell and his entire staff were nothing less than perfect. I’ve had 3 moles on my face my entire life, and I finally decided I wanted them removed. I booked a consultation with Dr. Antell and he was able to remove all 3 in the same appointment! It was so quick, easy, comfortable, and I didn’t feel a thing. I wasn’t able to talk during the procedure because he was working near my mouth, but he told me short stories and there was music playing the entire time. It was very comfortable. He stitched me up and I went to school afterwards, and worked the next 5 days with barely-there bandages to cover the stitches. I had no pain or blood afterwards and I am so happy with the results. I was even late for 2 of my appointments and they were sooooo kind in accommodating me. Dr. Antell and his entire office are professional and understanding. Will definitely be returning to him for any future procedures! Thank you all!!!

Matias Hernandez

He.. did awesome job ... he is very professional...and the staf is very friendly and professional..

Alex Viegas

Dr Antell is simply the best plastic surgeon out there. I had a chin augmentation two days ago and the results are outstanding very little bruising. I look like myself but much more improved. The nurse Michelle took very good care of me, I was worried on the day of surgery but she rested all of my fears and told me everything would be fine. The anesthesiologist was friendly and amazing couldn't of asked for a better one. If you are looking for facial cosmetic surgery or any cosmetic surgery, Dr Antell is simply the best and I highly suggest you see him!

Ashmy Bellevue

Dr Antell was awesome . Hes done a amazing job removing my keloid from ear. His staff is top notch and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Antell is one of the few plastic surgeons who truly cares about his patients happiness while maintaining ethical integrity. When I first came to him for my breast augmentation consult, as a petite A cup, I was eager to have the biggest breasts possible. But because of my small frame, Dr. Antell advised me to go for something bettered suited, giving me a very natural look. His opinion was greatly appreciated and I couldn't be more happier with my results. Not only does he have incredible bedside manner and so easy to talk to, but he has the best staff. Everyone is professional and courteous and easily accessible for any questions or concerns. Prior to my surgery, I addressed certain issues that were worrisome, due to my predisposition for capsular contracture. Dr Antell reassured me and quickly provided me with different studies about preventative measures pre and post-op. Of course, I followed his advice to the T and his nurse guided me every step of the way. All in all, I highly recommend Dr Antell for any cosmetic procedure.

Dr. Antell is without a doubt one of the best plastic surgeons and most empathetic doctors in the country. Further, his staff is very caring and professional ... I couldn’t be more satisfied. I am fortunate to have experienced the quality of his work!!

I feel compelled to write this review as I am planning on returning to Dr. Antell for a cosmetic procedure this year as a Mother's day gift. I had a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation done by him in 2009. 6 years later, I have to commend his work-I have never looked better! The micro-swelling of the rhinoplasty finally went down( normal)) and it looks absolutely beautiful. I was able to breast-feed without any problem as his placement of my scars( tiny too) did not sever any nerves or milk ducts. If any young women- (pre- pregnancy) are considering a breast augmentation- look no further than Dr. Antell. The fact that I can say 6 years later not only do my breasts still look great and symmetrical , but I have had zero complications just speaks volumes as to the skill and artistry Dr.Antell has. I recommend him to anyone who discusses plastic surgery,however most people just think I look great and cannot tell I have had anything done! I went a bit larger than some (400cc), and they look and feel so natural my husband and I still don't know how it was possible!!! I am also a medical professional and am highly critical. I am even more pleased with my results 6 years later. He is reasonably priced - but worth EVERY penny. :)

The Doctor and Staff were so professional. The doctor made sure he explained everything to the T before the procedure. He made me feel very comfortable and we even shared a few stories. He’s very personal with his patients. I would deffinatly be going back for any other future procedures and let’s not forget he’s one of the Best Surgeons in America & now I understand why. I got a lipoma removal and my main concern was the scaring on my face and those worries were gone as soon I saw his professionalism and his experience. Thank you Darrick!!

Billy Garcia

My wife and I are very pleased with the skill and professionalism of Dr Antell. He and his staff made an otherwise anxious procedure to remove a lipoma very comforting and we are very satisfied with the results. I had visited three other doctors before going to Dr Antell - His reputation is well earned.

Rocco Cacciola

Kristina Osmond

Dr. Antell is a wonderful doctor and surgeon! I have been a nurse in NYC for ten years and and am extremely impressed by how well his office is run. It is beautiful and immaculate! His office manager Rosa is amazing and so helpful, and his staff is always kind and accommodating. He has a great bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable. I am so happy with my Botox results, they look amazing but also natural. He’s is such a talented doctor if you are thinking of using him don’t hesitate!

Elaine Lawson

I had a procedure with Dr. Antell and he did a really amazing job. I would totally recommend him and use his services again.

R. Bardo

I have been a patient of Dr. Antell for many years and will always gladly refer my friends to him. I am very lucky to have been referred to him by a friend of mine years ago. I have always been extremely satisfied with any procedures performed by Dr. Antell. He has a warm, attentive manner that always puts me at ease. I feel listened to and understood! He is a wonderful surgeon! His staff is friendly and above and beyond courteous, always professional!

Sarah Cahill

I spent over three months researching cosmetic surgeons, which eventually whittled down to five, which I met in person. Dr. Antell was the only doctor who did not take the pushy, car salesman approach. He listened intently, answered all of my questions, and provided me with a sense of calm amid a nerve racking decision. His staff is also amazing, thorough, and incredibly professional from the first visit to the final check-in. My results were better than I could have ever imagined, and I have doctor Antell to thank. He is a kind person and a very talented doctor, standing out from the hordes of slicked back, shark-like plastic surgeons. Would highly recommend him.

Marie Rasmussen

I have had three surgeries with Dr Antell. I have been a patient for over 20 years. Dr Antell is an extremely skilled surgeon. Any work he does looks very natural. He is a very good listener and provides honest feedback never pushing procedures. He fully understands what your expectations are and the results are pure perfection. He might be slightly more expensive than other surgeons, but it's worth it, can not get same results anywhere else. If you on the fence about making a decision don't wait whether or not to have surgery, go for it. Only live once and Dr Antell will not disappoint you. Marie

Dr. Antell removed an upper back limpoma for me in July 2018. He did it on the very first visit...a complete and100% successful surgery. He then followed up with me with four in-office visits, to ensure that everything went well. There was NO post-op discomfort, no complications, and the incision is now nearly invisible. What more could I ask for? Oh yes, Dr. Antellis an absolute gentleman.

It’s been roughly about 5 years since my surgery with Dr. Antell and I’m just doing this review just because... He’s the absolute best! I’ve had several surgeries for keloid removal by several different doctors before I met with Dr.Antell. Not only is he a very skilled and very capable surgeon but he is also the kindest doctor/person you’ll ever meet. He genuinely cares about his patents pre and post surgery. I highly recommend him!

I had breast implants with dr. Antell and I am very happy with my results! Dr Antell and his staff are all very nice and accommodating, and the entire experience was very pleasant. He always took time to go over everything, answer any questions or concerns, and I am very happy to have had him as my surgeon!

William Peepas

I’ve worked in the Beauty Industry for many years and have always recommended Dr Antell for natural and beautiful results...I’m also a patient!

Johanna Chancellor

I went to Dr. Antell and he transformed my face and MY LIFE. Not only does my face look amazing (20 years younger) but immediately after my surgery, walked into a restaurant in the Village and met my soon-to-be husband. Am now moving to SoHo and beginning a life that I could never have dreamed of. It was all because of Dr. Antell and his genius talent. My face is natural, beautiful and I feel new again. The results are amazing!!! Dr. Antell and his staff are OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD GREAT!!

Justin Plaza

Dr. Antell #1 in NYC, a true professional. Respectful, honest and a true gentleman. You will not be disappointed.

Stella Mellas

I recommend this practice very highly. Dr. Antell is an exceptional surgeon. He achieved what many other plastic surgeons claimed was not possible with my umbilical hernia repair. He spends a lot of time with you and is professional and personable. You will not be disappointed with this practice. Also, his office staff is beyond helpful and kind. Being that I run my own practice, I can tell you all the boxes got checked off with my high expectations in another doctor and practice.

Tim

I had a chin reduction and submental liposuction procedure done a few months ago.Im very pleased with results, great experience all the way through. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my experience. Dr. Antell was very knowledgable With what I wanted done, and was truly caring. Highly recommend him, hes an extremely talented surgeon and well worth the money.

Elizabeth Singer

Highly recommend Dr. Antell and his practice. The front staff is very thorough and courteous and they address all questions head on and help guide you through the entire process from procedure, follow up and even insurance coverage. Dr. Antell is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel like a person not a “number”. Truly enjoyed meeting him and his staff as he made the entire procedure very comfortable and I knew the moment I met him, I would be in good hands. Thank you to Dr. Antell and his entire staff!

He is fantastic!!!

Paul Purcell

6 Month Follow-up today for my Buccal Fat Removal. Amazing results and so happy that I decided to do this with Dr. Antell. I commented to the Doctor this morning that he had also done a chin implant for me almost 19 years ago. That was one of the best decisions and have never had a problem in all these years...only a feeling of more self-confidence. Dr. Antell is incredible and his entire staff is amazing.

Yvonne Minott

I had my procedure done one month ago and I have been getting nothing but compliments. “ you look so young and fresh” No one can tell. Pain was minimal. Did not need opioid. Just extra strength. Back to work just loving the compliments. Natural look just younger and fresher. Procedure was worth every cent!

Amy K. Yong

I came in for an earlobe repair. Dr. Antell and his staff are amazing. He is patient and listened to every question/concern I had. The staff is super friendly and very punctual.

olga G

I did my nose and upper eye lid, twice I did nose and it’s not even straight, one eye look bad too.

Paul Cain

I have known Dr. Antell for many years, both as a doctor and as a friend. His character and ethics are the highest. His friendly demeanor puts people at ease and it is very easy to converse with him, answering all questions. I have had multiple skin lesions removed, including one which appeared very innocuous. It turned out to be a malignant melanoma. Dr. Antell literally saved my life. Obviously, I highly recommend him as a person and very skilled plastic surgeon.

Lawrence Greenidge

I had a procedure done by Dr.Antell and he did a great job. After the swelling went down I am pleased with the results. Staff was very attentive after the procedure and my follow up a week later. I did my research and made the right choice with Dr.Antell. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
