Dr. Jeffrey S. Rosenthal: Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Bridgeport Hospital
Jeffrey
Rosenthal, M.D., is a Fairfield, Connecticut Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Bridgeport
Hospital. He has been in private practice for 23 years. Dr.
Rosenthal specializes in cosmetic surgery which results in a
natural-looking appearance that can only be accomplished by
combining art and science. He uses his creativity and
imagination to achieve balance and harmony, be it as a
surgeon, artist, poet, writer, sculptor, illustrator or
inventor.
Dr.
Rosenthal has said, "My art enhances my surgery by allowing
me to be creative while embellishing the individual and
personal identity." His powers of visualization and
imagination are coupled with skilled hands which allow him
to successfully meld together art and plastic surgery.
"Plastic Surgery is an art form that allows you to feel good
about yourself by either restoring or rejuvenating a natural
healthy appearance. The warm glow of contentment and
confidence will permeate your life's experiences."
"An art is
a celebration of life and all the various nuances that give
meaning to the newly formed day. There is a beginning to the
artistic process, but never a definitive end. The blending
of art and science has always been my artistic endeavor and
I have found that there is no higher form of art than to
sculpt and redesign the human body. I am hopeful that you
will be moved by my art and that it will inspire you to feel
the joy that comes from following your dreams."
He deems
himself fortunate to have had three art exhibitions in
France as well as showings in Westport and Stamford
Connecticut; Discovery Museum, Bridgeport; Fairfield
University, Walsh Art Center Gallery; and in New York City.
How do art
and plastic surgery fit together? "It is a unique privilege
to sculpt and design on the human body; there is no higher
form of art. The blending of science and art has always been
my endeavor."
Dr.
Rosenthal is a member of the Connecticut Plastic Surgery
Executive Committee, Operating Room Committee at Bridgeport
Hospital, Medical Executive Committee at the Surgery Center
of Fairfield County, and the Connecticut State Medical
Insurance Committee. Additionally, Dr. Rosenthal is the
Chairperson for a national medical book review service. His
reviews of plastic surgery texts and writing reach 300,000
subscribers and medical librarians in the country. He has
lectured both nationally and internationally on plastic
surgery topics and has had numerous articles written about
his art in combination with cosmetic surgery. Likewise,
these subjects have been discussed during appearances and
interviews on both radio and television.
