Professional Background

Dr. Falcone completed preliminary surgery training, and a Surgical Research Fellowship as well as his Plastic Surgery Residency, all at Brown University. He then pursued an advanced Fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery at The Institute for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery to further his expertise in facial rejuvenation, body contouring and aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. Falcone has published numerous articles in the field of plastic surgery and has engaged in research on various topics including wound healing, facelift surgery and breast reconstruction techniques. He presented his work at many national plastic surgery conferences and was awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in recognition of his research efforts. After completing his training, Dr. Falcone returned to Syracuse and joined his now retired father in practice to continue a proud and distinguished tradition of plastic surgery excellence that began over fifty years ago.
