THE LOVERME CENTER FOR PLASTIC SURGERY | 825 BLOOMFIELD AVE., SUITE 205 | VERONA | (973) 559-5231 | WWW.LOVERMECENTER.COM “IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE NATURAL TO LOOK NATURAL,” says Paul J. LoVerme, M.D., a second-generation plastic surgeon and the founding director of the LoVerme Center for Plastic Surgery in Verona. Dr. LoVerme joined his father in the practice of plastic surgery in 1985. Since 1991, Dr. LoVerme has maintained his practice with a primary emphasis on aesthetic surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Dr. LoVerme is past president of the New Jersey Chapter of the American College of Surgeons and past-president of the New Jersey Society of Plastic Surgeons and a Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at Rutgers – New Jersey Medical School. He has dual board certifications in Surgery and Plastic Surgery. Dr LoVerme believes that expertise comes from experience and knowledge. It is that experience that breeds sound judgement “that is critical when it comes to aesthetic surgery.” After over 25 years in his specialty, every patient he sees is a beneficiary of his honed and polished talent. Dr LoVerme attends and speaks at state, regional and national meetings to be current with advances in Plastic Surgery. “My father taught me the importance of educating patients about their options,” says Dr. LoVerme. “I spend a lot of time with my patients, speaking with them about what is best for them, what will work and what won’t work for them.” To aid that process, Dr. LoVerme often employs Vectra 3D imaging prior to surgery. The technique involves taking a three-dimensional picture and then manipulating that picture on a computer,” he explains. “I can actually turn the picture from right to left, and then I can, for instance, put in breast implants to show what it will to look like with a particular implant. For faces and bodies, I can also demonstrate changes on those images and show realistic results of a rhinoplasty, facelift or liposuction.” This combination of experience, knowledge, and personal communication has made Dr. LoVerme a respected presence in New Jersey’s medical community. “I have a holistic approach to my patients. I prefer a personal approach,” he stresses. “My care has to be state-of-the-art — but it has to be personal, too. Whether surgical or non-surgical, my goal is to make every outcome positive, every result expected, and every experience pleasurable and comfortable.” SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 MONTCLAIR MAGAZINE 67 TOP DOCTORS Paul J.
