Plastic Surgeon in New York City

Known internationally for delivering dream results, Dr. Maria LoTempio is down-to-earth, compassionate, and committed to helping her patients feel more confident.

Driven to help people near and far love what they see in the mirror, Dr. LoTempio opened a cosmetic practice in Dubai midway through her career and commuted there from New York every four weeks for four years.

Dr. LoTempio’s extended training and niche experiences shaped her into a well-rounded plastic surgeon. Her early background in nursing taught her how to listen, be available, and provide personalized care and support to patients. Later, her surgical background in breast reconstruction solidified her ability to detect whether patients are at risk of cancer or autoimmune diseases before moving forward with surgery.
