Alan Matarasso
New York, New York
212-249-7500, www.surgery.org/public/epp/amatarasso
Serving Oscar winners and wives of C.E.O.’s, Dr. Matarasso has built his business around privacy: His Park Avenue office has a “back door” so clients can come and go unobserved. Matarasso specializes in facial cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid repair). 

Gerald Pitman
New York, New York
212-517-2600, www.drpitman.com
Dr. Pitman has carved out a practice catering to the high-powered women of Wall Street’s major firms—women who can’t afford to miss work or look less than perfect while there. His minimal-incision surgeries leave little to no scarring, making them ideal for image-conscious workaholics.

Joel Feldman
Boston, Massachusetts
617-661-5998, www.drjoelfeldman.com
For 31 years at his practice at Mount Auburn Hospital, Dr. Feldman has catered to the brainy bunch: the M.I.T. and Harvard profs who want to look as young and energetic as their students, as well as biotech and computer-industry executives. His specialty is neck lifts.

Norman Leaf
Beverly Hills, California
310-274-8001, www.drnormanleaf.com
Dr. Leaf, who has practiced in Beverly Hills since 1975, is known internationally for reconstructive and cosmetic work, especially face-lifts, and has treated patients from the entertainment and finance communities.

Bernard Markowitz
Beverly Hills, California
310-205-5557, www.blmarkowitzmd.com
Conservative face-lifts are Dr. Markowitz’s stock-in-trade. His older, predominantly female patients—often from the Beverly Hills real estate, entertainment, and financial industries—leave looking refreshed and natural as opposed to “done.”

Rod Rohrich
Dallas, Texas
214-645-0108, www.drrohrich.com
Chairman of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Rohrich is choosy about patients: He won’t take smokers and refuses 20 percent to 30 percent of potential clients. The lucky few—actors, C.E.O.’s, and overseas patients—get customized post-op care at a private, U.T.-affiliated hotel staffed with nurses.

Scott Spear
Washington, D.C.
202-444-8612, www.drscottspear.com
Based at the university hospital at Georgetown, Dr. Spear draws patients from a conservative D.C. crowd of professional women: lawyers, doctors, lobbyists, government types, and financiers. Liposuction and facial-rejuvenation procedures are among his most commonly requested treatments.

James Stuzin
Miami, Florida
305-854-8828
Dr. Stuzin’s clients include Central and South Americans; wealthy New Yorkers who winter in Miami; professionals in real estate, medicine, and law; and retirees of every stripe. Don’t call looking to have body work done, though: Stuzin switched to performing face-lifts exclusively 10 years ago.
