Summary
- Trained in both Facial Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology, Dr. Yagoda specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face (including nose, eyes, ears, brows, lips, cheeks, chin, and skin). Her unique integrative approach to beauty combines the best of topical skincare, ingestible supplements, and alternative holistic therapies with injections, laser treatments, and surgery to obtain the most natural and rejuvenating results. In Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, and Throat medicine and surgery), Dr. Yagoda sub-specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of sinus disease, and in Laryngology, she focuses on the care of the professional voice, combining natural, prescription, and holistic treatments with cutting-edge surgical techniques.

Highly regarded by the New York Singing Teachers’ Association as one of the most comprehensive voice specialists in New York, Dr. Yagoda has authored “The Professional Voice: Steps Towards Good Vocal Health,” and the column, “Whatever You Do, Don’t Whisper” in Standby, the newsletter of AFTRA.
