About Dr. Elie Ramly, MD
Blending artistry and precision in plastic surgery
Dr. Ramly is a Harvard-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for his warm, individualized approach to facial rejuvenation, facelift, neck lift, and rhinoplasty surgery. He blends world-class surgical precision with artistic intuition — creating aesthetic results that feel natural, balanced, and true to each patient’s identity. Patients often describe their experience with him as transformative, not just in appearance but in how they feel about themselves.
Raised in a family of physicians — his father a doctor and his mother a pharmacist — Dr. Ramly grew up surrounded by compassion, integrity, and dedication. That environment shaped his belief that medicine is not only about treatment but about trust. His lifelong passion for music and art taught him to see beauty as balance and harmony. Those early lessons still guide his philosophy today: every face is unique, and true rejuvenation means restoring harmony while preserving identity.
Dr. Ramly trained in plastic and reconstructive surgery at some of the most respected institutions in the world, including Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He also completed a facial transplantation fellowship at NYU Langone Health and was part of the groundbreaking team that completed the world’s first successful combined full-face and bilateral hand transplant — a historic achievement that redefined what’s possible in plastic surgery.
The Ramly Plastic Surgery clinic and its fully accredited private operating rooms are located in Beverly Hills’ iconic Golden Triangle — an international epicenter of luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Dr. Ramly also maintains active surgical privileges at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, one of the nation’s most respected and innovative hospitals, and the hospital of choice for many of the world’s most discerning patients and most prominent figures.
An Artist’s Approach to Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery
Every consultation begins with a conversation. Dr. Ramly listens carefully to understand each patient’s goals, aspirations, and lifestyle before designing a personalized treatment plan. His physical exam and recommendations focus on designing surgical and non-surgical strategies that respect each patient’s unique anatomy. His goal is always the same — to create natural, elegant results that restore youthfulness, confidence, and vitality while preserving authenticity.
He specializes in facelift, neck lift, and rhinoplasty procedures, including complex revisions and post-weight-loss rejuvenation. His facelift techniques produce results that look effortless, age gracefully, and feel uniquely personal.
Dr. Ramly strongly believes in adapting the nuances of every facelift technique to each patient’s unique facial features, rather than generically applying a single technique to every case. Patients from across the US and around the world come to Dr. Ramly for:
Personalized facelift and neck lift for long-lasting, natural rejuvenation.
Facial restoration after weight loss achieved through diet and exercise, GLP-1 medications (“Ozempic Face”), or bariatric surgery.
Comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedures that may include brow lift, upper and/or lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), and/or fat grafting in combination with face and neck lift surgery.
Revision face and neck lift
Primary and revision rhinoplasty that enhance harmony while respecting identity
At Ramly Plastic Surgery, every step of your journey — from consultation to recovery — reflects a philosophy of discretion, artistry, and genuine care.
