Dr. James Romanelli - Plastic Surgeon
Profile
Cosmetic Surgery
on Long Island / Plastic Surgery Breast Augmentation in New York
Dr. James N. Romanelli entered private practice
in
cosmetic surgery on Long Island in 1990 after completing a total
of 8 years of surgical residencies in New York City and Houston,
Texas. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and an active member of both the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery and American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
His Long Island plastic surgery practice offers
skilled, compassionate staff members who help patients through their
consultation, procedure, recovery, and beyond. Dr. Romanelli prides
himself on being able to take time with each patient and provide them
with the personal attention they need. Patients choosing liposuction,
tummy tuck, or breast enlargement at his Long Island surgical office
count on his extensive experience and artistic eye to deliver them a
safe and stunning result.
Dr. Romanelli is chief of surgery at Huntington
Hospital on Long Island. Plastic surgery is his specialty, but he is
also skilled in general surgical procedures, and is a member of the
American College of Surgeons Applicant Committee and has served as an
inspector for the American Association for the Accreditation of
Ambulatory Surgical Facilities. Dr. Romanelli graduated from medical
school at the State University of New York at Downstate, where he was
immersed in general medicine principles and began to learn advanced
surgical techniques.
After graduation, Dr. Romanelli trained in
plastic surgery at Baylor College of Medicine under the guidance of
the inventors of the modern breast implant, Dr. Frank Gerow and Dr.
Thomas Cronin. While there, he performed dozens of silicone and saline
breast implant surgeries, as well as breast reconstruction using
breast implants, and TRAM (“tummy tuck”) Flaps. He is one of the few
plastic surgeons on Long Island who has experience with prior
generations of silicone implants. Currently, he offers a number of
options for women considering breast enlargement on Long Island,
including FDA-approved fourth generation silicone implants, saline
implants, and form stable, or “gummy bear,” silicone implants that are
currently undergoing clinical study. During their consultations,
patients can discuss with Dr. Romanelli which options are right for
them.
Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery on Long Island also
offers a full range of plastic surgery procedures, including facelift,
rhinoplasty, body lift, and breast reduction. Long Island men and
women of all ages come to the practice for cosmetic improvements that
will enhance their look and feel. The office is fully accredited and
equipped to handle overnight patient stays under the care of a private
duty nurse. The practice is located in Huntington, New York, a short
drive from Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and many towns on Long Island.
In Addition to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Romanelli
also offers a full range of skin care and facial treatments through
Everis Medi Spa, a physician supervised, full-service medical spa
located next to his Long Island plastic surgery practice. The
staff at Everis provides state-of-the-art laser treatment options and
a full range of effective skin care, such as microdermabrasion,
wrinkle fillers, and laser hair removal.
