Kari L. Colen, M.D.
 Dr. Kari Colen is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. She feels very strongly that each patient should be given individual care and does not believe that one procedure fits all. Everything she does is for the goal of making a patient feel better about themselves and therefore a better person in general. She has a strong interest in women’s’ health as it pertains to plastic surgery and especially breast reconstruction and secondary cosmetic breast procedures.
Kari L. Colen, M.D. completed Plastic Surgery training at the prestigious New York University Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. During her training she spent time at NYU, Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat hospital, and Bellevue Hospital where she gained special knowledge and skills in the newest and most advanced techniques in Plastic Surgery. Because of her superior training in the top program in the country, Dr. Colen is able to deliver the most up-to-date care to her patients. During her training she authored numerous articles in plastic and aesthetic surgery and also helped design an interactive 3D surgical simulation model to better educate patients on plastic surgical procedures.
Dr. Kari Colen received her BA degree from Wesleyan University in CT. During her undergraduate education she spent nearly a year doing research in the world famous laboratory of Dr. Ian Taylor at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia. Her research led to a landmark paper published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After graduation from Wesleyan University she spent another year doing research in the plastic surgery laboratory at NYU. She then attended The New York University School of Medicine in her hometown of New York City graduating at the top of her class with AOA honors and receiving her M.D. degree. She continued to train in General Surgery and then in Plastic Surgery at NYU.
Her cosmetic interests aim at using more non-invasive techniques to give similar results with less scar such as the short-scar breast reduction, Non-Invasive Laser treatments, and fat injection using a patient’s own stem cells.
