AAFPRS Fellowship Program at L&P Aesthetics

The L&P fellowship program offers an unparalleled opportunity to advance your expertise in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery under the guidance of five double-board certified and highly skilled facial plastic surgeons – Drs. Lieberman, Parikh, Mehta, Lay and Mittleman.

During the year which begins in July and ends in late June, the fellow will have the opportunity to observe over 500 hours of surgery and perform up to 15 of their own surgeries. The first half of the fellowship is spent as an observer and assistant and the second is spent developing their own portfolio of patients and results.

Here are a few benefits of this fellowship:

• Comprehensive Training: Gain hands-on experience in a wide array of procedures, from rhinoplasty and facial aging surgery to cutting-edge non-surgical treatments and reconstructive surgery, ensuring a well-rounded skill set. Fellows will experience two unique, busy, and successful surgical practices with adjacent medical spas.
• World-Class Mentorship: Not only are Drs. Lieberman, Parikh, and along with the other surgeons all well respected in the field of facial plastic surgery; they are dedicated teachers who truly love to mentor gifted young facial plastic surgeons. Mentorship does not end when fellowship does, it is a bond that continues through life – a sentiment that is shared by the fellowship directors. Dr. Lieberman’s director, Dr. Vito Quatela, and Dr. Parikh’s director, Dr. Andrew Jacono, remain mentors and guides for them in their practice. Similarly, fellows join a fraternity of young surgeons who have graduated from this fellowship as a built-in social support network.
• Cutting Edge Surgical Techniques and Technology: Train with leaders and innovators in both facial aging and rhinoplasty. All five fellowship directors are routinely asked to speak at national conferences for their surgical techniques and knowledge. The L&P Aesthetics medical spa has the latest technology in lasers, light, and biostimulation treatments.
• Exceptional Career Preparation: Gain insights into the business of running a successful practice, from patient management to marketing strategies, preparing you for success in any professional setting.
• Opportunity to serve with HUGS: The fellow is invited to journey to Guatemala with Drs. Lieberman and Parikh who volunteer their expertise to children born with facial deformities. On the annual trips with HUGS, the team provides free surgeons for cleft lip, cleft palate, microtia, cleft rhinoplasty, and other congenital facial deformities
• Supportive environment: The fellowship nurtures a collaborative and inclusive culture that values education, innovation, and personal development. Fellows have access to a team of supportive faculty and staff.
• Alumni Success: Join a network of distinguished alumni who have gone on to establish thriving practices and contribute significantly to the field of facial plastic surgery.
• Location and Lifestyle: From world-class dining to near-perfect year-round weather, the San Francisco Bay Area is routinely ranked as one of the top places to live. With several national parks, beach towns, and wine country in driving distance, there is always something to do. We also enjoy a diverse patient population,a thriving  economic market and a location that is at the center of the innovative hub in aesthetic medicine.
