David M. Metzner, M.D.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon
Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery |
David M. Metzner, M.D.,
with offices in Metairie and Covington, Louisiana, is an Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon. His
specialty areas are minimizing the effects of aging, redefining facial features and
contouring the body.
As an artist working with a scalpel instead of a brush, Dr. Metzner combines his special
surgical skills, artistic insight and good communication abilities to achieve a very
natural appearance for his patients. Dr. Metzner believes, "Plastic surgery is both a
science and an art: a good surgeon must combine the two successfully for his
patients".
"Every patient's aesthetic surgery needs and goals are different," says Dr.
Metzner. "Achieving the desired result requires both the creative and analytical
parts of my mind working through my surgical skills." For Dr. Metzner, his eyes and
hands are the vehicle for accomplishing the desired result.

ARTISTIC INSIGHT:
While Dr. Metzner's medical school honors and board certifications attest to his
knowledge, his artistic surgical skill is the basis of his recognition. "A surgeon
must be versatile to customize procedures to give each of his patients the best possible
result," says Dr. Metzner.
In his free time, Dr. Metzner has audited art classes at Harvard, created custom jewelry
and sculpted. When working with a patient, he thinks of himself not only as a surgeon but
also as an artist
