Michael Dobryansky, MD

Dr_Michael_Dobryansky_036Dr. Michael Dobryansky is an Attending Plastic Surgeon here at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. He is a Cum Laude graduate of New York University (NYU) where he majored in Comparative Literature and minored in Chemistry. Dr. Dobryansky continued his studies at the NYU School of Medicine and received his MD degree in 1999.  He completed his residency in General Surgery at NYU during which he dedicated a full year to full time laboratory research at the NYU Laboratory of Plastic Surgery and Tissue Engineering. The work of the laboratory was published in numerous medical journals and presented at several international meetings.Dr. Dobryansky then went on to the prestigious Cleveland Clinic where he completed a Plastic Surgery residency and a post-graduate fellowship in Aesthetic Surgery.

His areas of interest include all aspects of surgical and non-surgical treatment of facial and body aging including minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques, injectables and laser treatments. He also has experience in reconstructive surgery and modern body contouring techniques following weight loss. Dr. Dobryansky is bi-lingual speaking fluent English and Russian.
