About Dr. Joseph A. Racanelli

The essence of my thriving cosmetic surgery practice is my ability to un- derstand patients’ expectations and produce beautiful, natural-looking results. I am a meticulous, board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in all aspects of cosmetic surgery. I have gained recognition throughout NY and NJ for my achievements in breast augmentations, tummy tucks, fat transfer and high-definition liposuction. My extensive experience with injectable treatments, including Botox, Radiesse, Restylane, and Juvederm, enables me to deliver outstanding outcomes with minimal downtime. I serve as chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Clara Maass Medical Center and also lead a truly service-oriented boutique practice.

 

Surgical patients are given my cell phone number, and all patients receive individualized attention every step of the way from both myself and my exceptional office staff. Known for honesty and ethics in plastic surgery, I spend extra time with every patient to establish realistic expectations.

 

My favorite part of the job is witnessing the dramatic physical and emotional transformations that patients are able to achieve through my artistry. I have a profound respect for the patients who choose my practice. I am honored by the trust they bestow on me to perform their surgery, and I strive to deliver the best results possible.
