Profile of Dr. Metzner

Dr. Metzner practices plastic surgery in Manchester, VT, where he is the plastic surgeon for The Vermont Center for Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. His specialty areas are body contouring, breast augmentation, redefining facial features and counteracting the effects of aging. Dr. Metzner practiced plastic surgery in New Orleans, LA, for more than 30 years until he lost his home in Hurricane Katrina. He and his family decided to return to New England in 2007 and he subsequently moved his practice to Vermont. Dr. Metzner sees patients from all over the world.

When working with a patient, Dr. Metzner thinks of himself not only as a surgeon but also as an artist. As an artisan working with instruments instead of brushes, he 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. Furthermore, he believes that every patient's aesthetic surgery needs and goals are unique. A surgeon must be truly versatile to customize procedures in order to give each of his patients the best possible result. As such, Dr. Metzner honed his analytical and creative skills through art classes at Harvard, the creation of custom jewelry and sculpting.
