Plastic Surgery is the practice of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery includes repairing birth defects, injuries, skin tumors and soft tissue defects and breast reduction and reconstruction. Cosmetic surgery includes face lifts; reshaping noses; removing excess skin and suction-assisted lipoplasty of thighs, abdomens, necks and chins; and breast lifts and enlargements

Marshall Yellen, M.D.
Dr. Yellen, a medical graduate of the New York University School of Medicine in New York City, had his residencies in general surgery and plastic surgery in New York City. He came to Jackson in 1997 after a year of a prestigious fellowship in hand surgery at the Christine M. Kleinert Institute in Louisville, Ky. It involved all aspects of hand surgery, reconstruction and replantation. Dr. Yellen is board certified in both general surgery and plastic surgery.

He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Inc. Membership in the Society is a unique distinction reserved for aesthetic surgeons who distinguish themselves in advanced education and clinical focus in aesthetic plastic surgery.

Know your doctor

When having surgery, it’s important that you seek a physician who is practicing in the specialty in which he or she was trained, says Dr. Yellen.

Women wouldn’t go to a pediatrician for heart surgery, but they aren’t as vigilant as they should be with plastic surgery and procedures, he says.

Dr. Yellen, for example, is double board certified in plastic surgery and in general surgery. Dr. Yellen is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Be wary of the physician who says he or she is board certified in cosmetic surgery, he says. “There is no medical board for cosmetic surgery.”
