I had 2 procedures done with Dr. Antell. I'm very happy with my results. Neck lift scars are healing nicely and I wish I would have done it sooner. Great location, beautiful office and very sweet and supportive staff. Dr. Antell answered all my questions and I felt very involved in the plan. The procedure plan felt like a collaboration which I appreciated. Thank you team Antell! read more

Got my chin augmentation and blephs. You know the surgeon did well when your dermatologist marvels at the job he has done lol. I received so much compliments, most of them don't know what I did. Ppl can't tell that I had surgery unless I tell them. Very thankful for Dr Antell and his staff. read more

Dr. Antell and his whole team were absolutely amazing! I couldn't breathe and hated my nose. We discussed my priorities: breathing and wanting to still look like myself but shaving my bump down. He listened to what I wanted and brought it to life! I love my nose now, and am already breathing better than before the rhinoplasty (which he says still needs time to heal so breathing will improve even more). Follow-up was amazing, and any times I had even the slightest concern, they offered to make time to see me in person same day. Absolutely recommend! And if you're nervous to get a rhinoplasty, don't be when you do it with them! read more

I have had multiple surgeries with this doctor, 1999, 2004, and 2012 which was the disaster surgery, my left eye was cut off on the outer edge, permanently removing my eyelashes, my right eye was so drooped I had to have a graft put in, my eye brows were at two different levels, I currently have two different sized eyes, permanently damaged, my ears were so cupped I had to also have them fixed, he caused such a bad infection I had to travel to NY every day for two weeks. I spent more having this incompetent doctors mistakes fixed than I paid for his surgeries, I wish I had never gone to him, he made my life miserable. read more

I had under eyelid surgery and neck lift surgery performed, on the same day, by Dr. Antell and I was very happy with the results of both procedures. I had the surgeries performed in November of 2020 and both results still look amazing. I found Dr. Antell to be very honest, professional, caring, a great listener, her and most of all an excellent surgeon. I sincerely highly recommend. Also, my wife just had under eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Antel just a few weeks ago. read more

*****THEY LOOK & FEEL REAL***** I am 2 months post op for breast augmentation; My experience with Dr. Antell and his office has been a dream.

I wanted bigger with a natural look and he succeeded at making that happen while providing me comfort and safety. read more

Darrick E Antell, MD - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - New York, New York

I had a chin augmentation surgery with Dr. Antell in 2020 and remain happy with the results. The procedure and recovery went as expected. I had a couple of lip filler and chin Botox sessions with him as well--and while I liked the results, the process was painful without lidocaine/numbing cream. Having since moved away from the NYC area, I've elected to keep up with my Botox and lip filler somewhere local. However, I would not hesitate to revisit Dr. Antell if anything were to come up in the future regarding my chin. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Antell and his entire nursing and administrative staff especially Rosa and Nancy. I had been considering a facelift for ten years and had interviewed multiple surgeons but came away unimpressed by all of them. One Zoom visit with Dr. Antell and I had an immediate impression of his professionalism and compassion. I also appreciated that he had scores of before and after photos of his work on his website. The entire experience presurgery and post surgery was seamless and the results just four weeks out are outstanding. I wanted to look refreshed and not "done" and he delivered on that promise. read more

the best of the best like old time doctors that cared about their patients 24 hours a day 7 days a week you wont find after care like this any where not to mention the amazing skills the only surgeon i would alwsys go back to and i have read more

I saw Dr. Antell 2yrs. ago for a mole on my upper forehead to be removed for a biopsy. He did such an amazing job! I was left without a scar and it healed beautifully. His staff were super nice and his nurse assistant made me feel extremely comfortable. I will definitely recommend this wonderful doctor. read more

I began working for Dr. Antell after college as a medical claims biller and administrative assistant, and I was subsequently a patient of his myself. During my five years at the practice, I saw hundreds of satisfied patients. The before and after photos on Dr. Antell's website are indicative of the results Dr. Antell is capable of achieving, regardless of procedure. His surgical ability has been lauded by the top medical publications in the country and, as both a patient and a member of his staff, it was easy to see why. When I developed a cyst-like tumor on the left side of my face, I showed Dr. Antell and he was able to excise it in his private surgery facility/operating room. I was pleased to see that over time, there was no trace of any scarring, particularly because it was located on my face. Dr. Antell's staff provides an exceptional office experience from initial consultation to the very last follow-up visit. His office manager, Rosa, has been with Dr. Antell for over 15 years and will make sure you are completely satisfied with all aspects of your experience. Many surgeons do not have a successful enough practice to maintain a private surgery facility and are thus forced to take patients to a hospital, where they are exposed to sick people with infections and trainees. Dr. Antell's extremely clean, fully accredited and NY state registered operating room is more efficient and cleaner than any hospital. I have seen firsthand how meticulously Dr. Antell and his nursing staff maintain the operating room--it is pristine. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Antell's practice, his bedside manner, attention to detail, and surgical skills. Dr. Antell's philosophy is that "plastic surgery should whisper and not scream," meaning he takes care to ensure that his work produces a natural, yet enhanced, result. During my employment, I personally witnessed many patients who were amazed by their surgical results, as well as their entire office experience. As a patient myself, I experienced firsthand the impressive results he provides. The entire office is both friendly and professional. If I am ever in need of another procedure, I would happily return to his office and I would highly recommend him to anyone else in need. read more

Dr. Antell got me wedding ready with botox and lip filler. His precise approach left me looking so natural and looking like myself but just so much better! I won't trust anyone else with my face from now on. Thank you Dr. Antell for helping me look and feel my best! read more

Been there several times over the years and couldn't be happier. I'm an anxious worry wart, and surgery is no joke. Dr Antel has good taste and is very skilled. I saw him first for rhinoplasty and liposuction. My sister had surgery with him that same year. We only regret not doing it sooner! Since then, I have gotten numerous fillers done to lips, cheeks and temples. I have been happy every time. I know a lot of actors and models- they need their faces to be flawless. I've referred them to Dr Antel for any cyst or mole removal on the face; they, too are happy. He is down to earth, and lacks the obnoxious ego that turned me off of most NY cosmetic doctors. He's a gem in the UES! read more

STOP... do not use this practitioner. Total botch job on my daughter's scar, making it forever worse- which on follow-up with two other doctors was told it should not have been touched in the first place. At the initial consultation, he said - his words - "the scar will be 99% better." After the "procedure," we came for the last follow up at which time he assured us that it would get better - which years later - it has not. At that time I reminded him about his "99% better" statement which he denied. I should have known that he would not take responsibility for his botch job when he had us waiting nearly an hour - probably trying to figure out what to say. Seeing his reviews and listed as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor - what a joke - I felt it was my responsibility to send out this alert. Please think twice before using him. Seems he was a dentist prior to becoming a surgeon - take note of that. If you go - you'll probably refer back to this review while you're kicking yourself. read more

I'm a private person, and was not planning to write a review in this category. However, when I saw Dr. Antell's reviews, I felt compelled to contribute my experience because he is a five star doctor, not three. 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. read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr Antell after seeing him on the Today Show and on CBS as well. I made an appointment & went through with a facelift & upper eye lift. Dr Antell is both knowledgeable and talented. His approach is careful and conservative - the term "detail-oriented" keeps popping into my head. Dr Antell and his staff are warm, approachable and patient, welcoming questions and ready to explain their procedure. Dr Antell kept a close watch on my recovery in the weeks following my procedure through office visits and even phone calls to my home. Last winter, I tripped & fell flat on my face, breaking my nose! While I still on the floor - before anyone reached me to help - my mind instantly flew to Dr Antell. I was still in pain but I felt relief, just knowing that I had a competent surgeon ready to help me. read more

Lip lines... Vertical lip lines have bugged me for years. Topical treatments did not help. I finally decided to get professional help. Dr Antell performed a deep chemical peel on the lines. The procedure was quick, painless and recovery was fast. Now my lip lines are not noticeable. I can finally wear lip liner and lipstick, my lips finally look years younger. read more

After years of having stretched earlobes I went to Dr. Antell wanting a change. He was very kind and warm through the whole experience. Him and his assistant were talking me through it, though I could not feel a thing. I left there feeling comfortable with my choice of surgeon.. but also that when my stitches would be removed that I would have the ears I wanted. He did not disappoint! To this day, people can't even believe just by the looks of my lobes, that they were even stretched at all. I'd recommend him to anyone! read more

He is all smoke and mirrors. Don't let the fancy office and. Ivy League degree. Fool you. He. Nearly. Killed me. And left me. A noticeable. Scar on my face. Don't. Walk. Run from. This office read more

I found him online, wanted lip enhancement, decided to try temporary. The "doctor" injected something into my lips leaving pimple-looking bumps around my lips. That aaas about it. $750 was WASTED like i never wasted it before. Not just wasted, but I still have little holes around my lips. I tried to post my reviews online, but he threatened the online board owners with his lawyers and they just kept removing my reviews. I still have the holes around my lips, a few years later. There goes the "park ave. doctors" tale. read more

Dr. Antell is a well-spoken elegant man. His mannerism, fancy Park Ave. office, and magazine articles make you believe he's an excellent doctor. However, he underplays the dangers of plastic surgery by reassuring you a perfect result. I asked him about many possible complications but he told me it would be less than 1%. One of the many complications of breast augmentation is capsular contraction. It is more common in the first several months. It is when your body forms a lining around the implant. When this happens the capsule will tighten and squeeze the implant. This will distort the appearance of the implants and they will feel hard. The causes are unclear but these is the most common complications. Following are thought to cause it: 1. Transient germ contamination 2. Infection 3. Hematoma - a collection of blood in the surgical area I ended up getting the capsular contraction within the first month. I asked about it but he said it wasn't. I was under excruciating pain for that whole month. My breast also had other complications as well. When I consulted 3 more doctors both in east and west coast they all confirmed that it Is level III capsular contraction. I am very scared to redo it again and have to live with it. I would not recommend a doctor who underplays the dangers of plastic surgery and then later does not recognize a serious side effect such as capsular contraction. read more

Dr. Antell is a gifted surgeon. However, his billing practices are nothing short of a disgrace. I had a cosmetic surgery done and also asked that he enhance two one inch scars from a previous surgery. For these two inch scars, the office billed my insurance company $39,000. As I agreed to allow them to collect from my insurance company, I never thought the system would be so abused by a doctor that was held in such regard. Quoting from the doctors who performed life saving surgery on me, "an absolute disgrace". read more

It's been 3.5+ years since my abdominoplasty and I'm very happy with the result. I suppose I would have preffered the scar to be a bit lighter, but I don't attribute that to Dr. Antell's work. read more

I have to say I had breast augmentation with Dr.Antell. He did an amazing job . He explained everything very thoroughly . He gave me exactly what I wanted . He exceeded my expectations . Which are very high. He's professional in every aspect. Anyone who has seen the result is amazed how great they look. You cant even see the scar. Also these are comments by woman who have also had augmentation by others surgeons. It makes me angry to hear such negative feedback read more

Had a torn earlobe repaired by Dr Antell. He made the whole procedure pleasant and painless. His office staff is prompt and efficient. They made this a very pleasant experience. Would recommend this practice highly thank you Dr Antell read more

I have been Dr. Antell's patient for 20 years. He has done multiple cosmetic procedures over the years and I have been thrilled with the results of each. Further, I have recently gone for injectables (Botox and Restalyne) and have been so happy with those results as well. Dr. Antell is not only a wonderful surgeon, but a lovely person as well - always available for questions. Unlike many plastic surgeons here he does not impose his will, but will accommodate your specific request (if it is medically reasonable). The professional office has a very modern operating room downstairs and the staff has always been efficient and helpful. I have never had to wait for an appointment more than 5 minutes or so. In short, I will continue to be Dr. Antell's patient until I'm too old to need his services......99 years of age! read more

Dr. Antell is the best in NYC! From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was going to choose him to perform my procedure. His entire team is incredible and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Antell is truly talented, additionally, his bedside manner is excellent. He really took the time to get to know me and my objectives. I originally went for a consultation to remove one mole, however, Dr. Antell pointed out a few moles on my body that should also be removed (but my choice) and also sent to the lab for a biopsy. Three weeks post surgery, my scars (on my face and body) are barely noticeable. While Dr. Antell did mention that I am healing really well, and that varies per individual, I believe the way he made the incisions and stitches were the cause of my amazing results. I highly recommend him, this was a beautiful experience! read more

I have had several plastic surgery procedures with Dr. Antell and have always been extremely pleased with the results. Dr Antell is highly skilled, professional with a nice personality and it is very important to him that his patients be happy and satisfied with the work that he has performed on them. I would say that in the area of facial plastic surgery, he is probably one of the best in New York City. read more

Dr. Antell is very professional and his staff is very warm and welcoming. He consults you well, and makes you feel very comfortable. However, it seems that the procedures here are very pricy - a facial mole removal, which would have cost $600 - $1000 elsewhere in NYC, was almost $3000 here! Overall, I believe that he is a quality surgeon, just make sure to inquire about the price before you go in. read more

I went to Dr. Antell for breast Augmentation in March, 2014. He was wonderful. He listened and gave me exactly what I wanted. His nurses and staff are terrific as well. The doctor let me try on all different size implants to determine exactly what I wanted. We also discussed type of implant & incisions in detail. The surgery is done right in his office and he is meticulous in detail. My breasts look so full and natural which is exactly what I wanted. Everyone compliments how great & proportioned my figure looks & my boyfriend can't believe they are implants! The healing went so smoothly... I had the surgery on Wed & was out & about by Friday & back to work on Monday. If you are looking for a surgeon that performs quality work with a great bedside manner look no further than Dr. Darrick Antell. read more

I had earlobe repair recently done by Dr. Antell and I couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. From the beginning of the process to the end Dr. Antell and his staff provided me with the most caring and comforting service. It was a extremely easy procedure, however, I was pretty nervous. Dr. Antell and his nurse Michelle did a great job at distracting me and calming my nerves when the procedure took place. I am pleased with the turn out and highly suggest Dr. Antell. read more

I was extremely sick for 2 years. After ruling out every other cause of my illness, my family and I were convinced that it was due to my 38-year-old breast implants. Therefore, I started reaching out to doctors in New York but was told by many that it would be a 3-4 month waiting period for an appointment. It didn't seem possible to continue suffering for 3 to 4 months, considering that my symptoms were getting worse by the minute. After doing a great deal of research into the best breast surgeons, I found Dr. Antell and contacted his office. His wonderful staff sensed my desperation and made room for me to have a consultation with him right away. His office, located on Park Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, was extremely clean and impressive. Each member of his office staff was so kind, understanding and helpful. Throughout his office were many magazines covers and articles about him and his extraordinary work, which served to reaffirm the fact that I had come to one of the most premier plastic surgeons. On the day of my appointment, there was a very short waiting time before I was guided back to an exam room. When I met him, I was so impressed. He spent as much time with me as necessary, so I never felt rushed and he had a wonderful bedside manner. He was so kind and understanding, answered all my questions and relieved my anxiety. Due to his many accolades as a "Best Plastic Surgeon", I was worried about what the cost of the procedure would be but was pleasantly surprised to find the fees quite reasonable and competitive with the New York market. This was mainly due to the fact that he has a fully accredited NYS OR on his premises, which eliminated the hospital fees. Although he is a busy surgeon, he offered to make room for my surgery the following Monday because he understood how sick I was. I decided to get a breast lift in addition to having my implants removed. Having the surgery done in his own OR was quick and efficient. No hospital administration and waiting time. His OR was immaculate, and I wasn't exposed to the germs that reside in a hospital. The anesthesiologist was wonderful, as were his OR nurses. Before I knew it, the surgery was over. The following day, I started feeling better and many of my symptoms were relieved almost immediately. The recovery was quick, and I had minimal pain or discomfort. I was thrilled to see my new breasts, which looked so much better. He's extremely diligent about his follow up with his patients and his office staff is available to help you deal with your insurance provider as well as any additional assistance you need. It's been almost 4 weeks since my surgery and the scars and discomfort are minimal. I am thrilled with the results. I am feeling better every day!! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Antell. He's an amazing doctor, surgeon, artist, and human being. And his office staff is incredible!! I give 100 stars to this doctor. read more

Dr. Antell and his staff were incredible. I went in for dermabrasion, and from the very beginning he was honest with me. Told me the pros and cons of dermabrasion and the fact that he was honest with me made me trust him even more needless to say after the procedure and of course following his instructions to avoid any scarring or complications my skin looks incredible. I am so thankful for his honesty and for his work. read more

Dr. Antell is a very talented plastic surgeon. I went to Dr. Antell because he is the best in New York City and he did the finest job on my rhinoplasty procedure. I just got my splint off today, it hasn't even been a week and I am already loving my results!! He has a calm demeanor and makes you feel extremely comfortable. He isn't the salesman type of doctor that convinces you to do more operations than you should. He knows what he is doing and I'm so glad I went to Dr. Antell for my rhinoplasty! He truly is the best and I would recommend him 100 times over. read more

Dr. Antell is the absolute best. Any anxiety and nervousness about a procedure is immediately quelled by Dr. Antell and his staff, as they go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and well-informed. I have gotten buccal fat pad removal and cheek fillers done, and am overwhelmingly happy with the results--they're subtle, but change just enough to balance out my face and correct what I'm trying to fix. Nobody has asked me if I've gotten anything done or changed anything, only that I look better, more well rested, etc :) Special shoutout to nurse Emerald for being the best nurse ever! I had vasovagal syncope following my fillers (which happens to me frequently but randomly) and she went the extra mile to get me cold water, fan me down, comfort me, and just generally be a great healthcare provider. Thanks so much to Dr. Antell and team for everything! Plastic surgery is no joke and it is an amazing thing to find a surgeon like Dr. Antell. read more

It's kind of odd to find that when I posted an honest two stars review on 11/29/2014, someone posted a 5 stars review on 11/30/2014 claiming to have so many procedure done with the doctor. Yelp reviews should not be taken offensive but rather guidance on how business should be improve particularly if it's genuine. read more

I could kick myself for not doing this sooner. If you are a neurotic like me, you may be hesitating because a) you have visions of expiring on the operating table or b) you think you will look like a combination of Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers afterwards. Fellow neurotics, you can relax! Dr. A has never lost a patient (of course, I asked!) and when he's done with your face lift, neck lift, etc., you will look like you got back around 15 years or more (depending on your physical state beforehand) to do all over again. Re: my nasal tip reconfiguration also done at the same time, I can tell you that Dr. A.'s form of surgery is not an "in your face" procedure (no pun intended). His results are subtle but effective, and not one of my friends figured out what had happened--those that commented, just said that I looked "great" although they couldn't put their finger on why. Finally, but by no means least, Dr. A's wonderful, warm personality, and that of the entire staff of his extraordinary office are more like the family you would have chosen for yourself vs. my stereotypical image of professionals who have attained the top of the heap. Not a shred of arrogance or condescension will you find there, just helpful, lovely people. Go for it. read more

I had a fantastic experience working with Dr. Antell, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon. I consulted Dr. Antell regarding two procedures to my face -- buccal fat removal as well as micro-liposuction under my chin. Any reservations I had about the surgery went away during my initial consultation; I was immediately put at ease by his kind demeanor and professionalism. Dr. Antell clearly and thoroughly outlined what the surgery would entail, what recovery would be like, and what results I could expect. Every aspect of this process was pleasant and professional, and Dr. Antell and his staff made time and effort to communicate with me throughout the process. I received instructions before surgery letting me know in detail how to prepare and take care of myself after. The surgery itself went very smoothly, and I had an easy recovery with minimal discomfort in the following days. One of the nurses, Annie, was particularly helpful during my recovery, responding to any questions I had with speed, kindness, and competence. In terms of the procedures, I am incredibly happy with my results -- the difference is both significant and subtle, and my face has definition in a way it never would have without surgery, while still looking natural and like myself. I am beyond impressed with Dr. Antell and my entire experience. He is, simply put, the best. read more
