About Sherrell J. Aston, MD, FACS
Introduction
Dr. Sherrell J. Aston is a double board-certified plastic surgeon and is considered one of the foremost international experts in aesthetic plastic surgery. Dr. Aston has received numerous awards from professional medical societies, has been named among New York Magazine's Best Beauty Docs, and is frequently featured in magazines such as Vogue and Allure. Dr. Aston and his staff work closely with each patient, developing an individualized plan of treatment to enhance the natural features or correct problems of the face, breast and body.
Dr. Aston is known around the world for his development of the modern facelift techniques, which produce natural, unoperated results. Dr. Aston’s techniques reposition not just the skin but also the deeper plane of muscles and fascia beneath the skin of the face and neck. While Dr. Aston repositions the deeper plane in every patient, variations in individual’s anatomy require different techniques of lifting and repositioning the muscles and fascia to give the most desired and elegant facial rejuvenation. Dr. Aston is an expert in the closed rhinoplasty technique, which avoids incisions and scars on the outside of the nose. He has used the closed technique for thousands of noses, both in primary and secondary procedures.
Dr. Aston is an internationally renowned teacher of aesthetic surgery and has lectured extensively across the United States, Brazil, Canada, Dubai, China, England, France, Iran, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and New Zealand. He has performed live surgical procedures in other countries including Brazil, China, Iran, Spain, and Turkey. In August 2016, Dr. Aston performed a facelift demonstration in Rio on closed circuit television at the annual Symposium of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plastica Regional Rio de Janerio. Dr. Aston organizes the annual "Cutting Edge Aesthetic Surgery Symposium" in New York, and has authored, co-authored, and edited many original journal articles, book chapters, and textbooks. He continues to make dozens of teaching videotapes on various aesthetic procedures.
