Valerie J. Ablaza,
M.D.
Dr.
Valerie J. Ablaza
is a partner and the Corporate Vice President of The Plastic Surgery
Group. She is unique in her profession, noting that just one out
of 10 plastic surgeons are women. "I know that my perspective
and sensitivities are different than my male colleagues," she
says. "Of course, there are things that my female patients
will tell me that they would never tell a man, but surprisingly,
many men also prefer the insight and perspective of a female plastic
surgeon."
Dr.

Surgeons and is a Fellow of The American College of Surgeons.
She is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
Phi Beta Kappa and the Alpha Epsilon Delta honor society. She

completed her residency in plastic surgery at The New York Hospital/Cornell
Medical Center, and finished her training with a fellowship in
breast and aesthetic surgery in Nashville, Tennessee, with the
internationally renowned plastic surgeon G. Patrick Maxwell.

Turn Fifty", a book about self-help and personal growth. She
