Meet Dr. Neusner

Biography

Dr. Alexander Neusner is an experienced plastic surgeon with extensive medical experience specializing in facial aesthetic transformations and reconstructive surgery. He prioritizes his patients’ needs through his keen attention to detail and compassionate bedside manner. Dr. Neusner’s passion for medicine is demonstrated by his considerable contributions to his field and commitment to his patients. 

After obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree from Brown University, Dr. Neusner attended medical school at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, then completed a general surgery residency at Temple University Hospital. From there, he continued his plastic surgery training through a residency at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, working alongside top doctors in his field. His background in general surgery not only prepared him to deal with patients of all demographics but highlighted how life-changing a surgical procedure can be, a sentiment he carries with him into cosmetic surgery. 

Most recently, Dr. Neusner’s fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery at the Christine M. Kleinert Institute contributed to his full-body approach to plastic surgery. As a surgeon, he has a distinct ability to hone in on the human experience, getting to know his patients intimately to ensure a holistic transformation that allows them to be their best selves. From minor procedures like mole removal to complex surgeries like total facial rejuvenation, Dr. Neusner prioritizes creating a harmonious, natural appearance with long-lasting results.

Originally from Connecticut, Dr. Neusner has established roots as a Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon as he joins the team at Barrett Plastic Surgery. He is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, The Aesthetic Society, and the American Medical Association. He has contributed to numerous publications, offering expertise in the field of reconstructive surgery. 

While starting his journey in the epicenter of plastic surgery, Dr. Neusner enjoys immersing himself in the restaurant culture Los Angeles is known for as one of the ultimate food cities. With his dachshund Rigatoni, Dr. Neusner spends his free time in nature, often paddle boarding at the beach or taking advantage of California’s many scenic hiking trails. He remains close to his family back in Connecticut, often taking Rigatoni to visit with his family’s two dachshunds. 

Dr. Neusner’s capability to understand his patients’ desires and help them envision their new lives creates a high level of authenticity in his bedside manner. As an associate surgeon at Barrett Plastic Surgery, Dr. Neusner brings with him considerable experience and a distinguished reputation in the world of aesthetic surgery.
