Rosenstock-Liberman Center for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

The Rosenstock-Liberman Center for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is an established cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practice in San José, Costa Rica, led by a partnership of board-certified plastic surgeons — Dr. Rosenstock and Dr. Liberman. The center combines the expertise of two experienced surgeons, providing patients with access to a breadth of skills and perspectives that a single-surgeon practice cannot match. The partnership model also enables the center to accommodate more patients and procedures without compromising surgical quality or attention to individual patient needs.

Costa Rica has become a globally recognized destination for cosmetic surgery medical tourism, drawing tens of thousands of patients from the United States and Canada annually who seek board-certified surgical expertise at 50 to 70 percent below US cosmetic surgery prices. The Rosenstock-Liberman Center has built a reputation within this market through consistent clinical outcomes, bilingual patient service, and a comprehensive procedure offering that allows most cosmetic goals to be addressed within a single practice.

San José's modern private hospital infrastructure, excellent direct flight connections to US cities, and well-developed medical tourism support services — including recovery accommodation, translation services, and airport coordination — make it a compelling destination for North American patients planning cosmetic procedures.

The Rosenstock-Liberman Center offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. Facial procedures include facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) with SMAS elevation for deep tissue rejuvenation, brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for upper and lower eyelid correction, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) for aesthetic or functional improvement, otoplasty (ear surgery) for prominent ear correction, and chin and cheek augmentation.

Breast procedures include breast augmentation with silicone gel or saline implants in various profiles, shapes, and sizes; breast lift (mastopexy) for ptotic breasts; breast reduction for symptomatic macromastia; and breast reconstruction for patients following mastectomy. Body contouring procedures include liposuction of all major body areas, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in full and mini configurations, arm lift (brachioplasty), thigh lift, and mommy makeover combination procedures for comprehensive post-pregnancy restoration. The two-surgeon center is well-positioned to handle complex cases or combination procedures requiring extensive surgical time.

The Rosenstock-Liberman Center performs surgical procedures in accredited private hospital facilities in San José, providing access to hospital-grade surgical suites, certified anesthesiology teams, operating room nursing staff, post-operative recovery, and emergency backup capabilities. Operating within an accredited hospital facility is an important safety feature for cosmetic procedures performed under general anesthesia.

The two-surgeon practice model provides additional surgical versatility — including the option for both surgeons to participate in particularly complex or lengthy procedures, providing surgical backup and fresh perspective that can be valuable in extended procedures. Consultation suites provide private, comfortable settings for thorough pre-operative discussions. The bilingual English and Spanish team ensures clear, comprehensive communication with North American patients from consultation through follow-up care.

The Rosenstock-Liberman Center serves a significant international patient volume from the United States and Canada. The center's bilingual team facilitates pre-travel consultations via email or video call, allowing patients to discuss their goals with the surgeons, receive treatment recommendations, and obtain detailed cost estimates before booking travel to Costa Rica.

Cosmetic surgery at the Rosenstock-Liberman Center costs 50 to 70 percent less than equivalent procedures in the United States. A facelift that costs $12,000 to $20,000 in the US may cost $4,500 to $8,000 in San José; breast augmentation that costs $7,000 to $12,000 in the US may cost $3,000 to $5,000; rhinoplasty that costs $8,000 to $15,000 in the US may cost $3,000 to $6,000. The center assists international patients with accommodation recommendations and recovery logistics in San José. Post-operative follow-up can be conducted in person before patients return home or by video consultation after departure.

Drs. Rosenstock and Liberman hold medical degrees and specialist training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with professional registrations maintained through the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Costa Rica — the national licensing body that oversees all medical practice in the country. Active Colegio registration is a legal requirement for medical practice in Costa Rica and confirms ongoing compliance with established professional standards.

Plastic surgery specialty certification in Costa Rica is provided through the appropriate specialist training pathway — including medical school, general surgery residency, and plastic surgery fellowship — aligned with the standards established by the Costa Rican Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (SAPRECIR). The center's two-surgeon model reflects an investment in specialist coverage and peer accountability — two board-certified plastic surgeons practicing together provides a professional environment where clinical decisions are subject to collegial review. The hospital facilities used by the center meet the infrastructure and equipment standards required for safe performance of the full range of cosmetic procedures. Patients should verify current Colegio registration and discuss both surgeons' specific training and experience during the pre-operative consultation.
