Dr.
Markowitz joined the full-time faculty in the
division of plastic and reconstructive surgery
at the U.C.L.A. Medical Center immediately after
his Johns Hopkins University fellowship in July
1987. Dr. Markowitz's tenure at U.C.L.A.
is noteworthy given the unusual fact that he became
renowned for his work in both the reconstructive
and aesthetic fields. His work with congenitally
deformed children, head and neck cancer patients,
and facial trauma patients is widely regarded
by both his patients and his peers. Simultaneously,
he pursued a noteworthy practice in elective cosmetic
surgery, where his innovative techniques and results
created a successful private practice. Though
Dr. Markowitz left the academic world as a full
professor after thirteen years, he remains on
the clinical staff and continues to perform surgery
and teach at the institution.
Dr. Markowitz is a member of numerous
national and regional medical societies including
the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American
Association of Plastic Surgeons, American Society
of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and the American
Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons. He has lectured
at many national and local meetings, presenting
his innovative philosophy and techniques on diverse
plastic surgery topics. He has authored over 30
peer reviewed publications and 7 book chapters
on plastic surgery.
Dr. Markowitz is also a well respected
source for the media. He has been quoted and referenced
in many publications including the New York Times,
Allure, W, Teen People, Mirabella and Men’s
Health. He has been placed at the top of his specialty
