Expertise
Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lickstein offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures.
Detailed. Discriminating. Without compromise. This is how patients and peers describe Dr. Lickstein. Your results will be predicated on the techniques, skill, training, experience and judgment of the surgeon you choose. Not every surgeon has the experience and confidence to deliver consistently beautiful results for even the most challenging cases. That is the art behind the science–a combination Dr. Lickstein has built his reputation upon.
“When I went to medical school and made the decision to be a plastic surgeon, I never wanted to lose sight of the fact that I am a physician first and foremost. My sense of fulfillment comes from establishing a strong bond–with patients, my staff and my community. I am thrilled to meet every patient and really get to know them. From the moment they arrive at my office I want them to feel comfortable knowing there will be plenty of time to discuss their concerns. No question will go unanswered. I consider every consultation an investment in a long term relationship. My training allows me to address all areas of the body and I am fluent in the latest options for facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement and body contouring. Over the years I have established a reputation for successfully performing the most complex, demanding procedures and that gives prospective patients confidence when they choose me.”
Not every surgeon can consistently deliver natural results. The question: What is the fine line between just enough – and too much? Dr. Lickstein has the experience and judgment to know that it is a matter of millimeters, sometimes a single stitch – that is the art behind the science. His philosophy and approach combine world-class skill with a sincere devotion to making a difference for his patients, peers, the specialty and the community. In recognition of his skill and commitment he has been named “Best in Palm Beach Gardens”, one of the “Best Doctors in America”, as well as a Castle Connolly regional “Top Doctor” by his peers. Tufts University School of Medicine awarded him the Citation for Excellence in Teaching and a special award for the senior resident most supportive of the more junior trainees.
Refreshed, but not Overdone – The first question Dr. Lickstein asks himself with every patient is, “How can I best achieve a natural, non-surgical appearance?” In Dr. Lickstein’s hands, patients can put aside their fears about looking “overdone”, distorted, too tight or obvious. He considers each patient’s distinct brand of beauty something to build upon rather than change. According to Dr. Lickstein, the finest results are those that are so skillfully executed, that no one can quite figure out what has changed.
The Heart of a Teacher – Despite all the information available on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, there exists—in some cases– profound misunderstanding about products, procedures, techniques and application. Dr. Lickstein takes his role as educator seriously and allows time to truly explain the safest, best options to accomplish a patient’s goals. His patient, approachable demeanor quickly puts patients at ease.
Why Advanced Training Matters — Microsurgery changes the aesthetic paradigm. Dr. Lickstein’s fellowship in Microsurgery at Harvard Medical School gives him with exceptional skill in a specialty where millimeters make a difference. His background benefits every patient, whether cosmetic or reconstructive in nature.

From medical grade skincare, injectables and fillers, lasers and other noninvasive treatments to eyelid lifts and facelift/necklift procedures, a full menu of services is provided targeting anti-aging and a rested, age appropriate, subtle improvement in appearance. Dr. Lickstein considers his approach to be conservative, but believes less radical surgery doesn’t necessarily mean less dramatic outcomes. A mini facelift for instance doesn’t have to mean a mini result. It just means a more natural result with minimal downtime and scarring.
