About David M. Metzner, M.D.
David M. Metzner, M.D., with offices in Metairie and Covington, Louisiana, is an Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon. His specialty areas are minimizing the effects of aging, redefining facial features and contouring the body.
As an artist working with instruments instead of brushes, Dr. Metzner 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."
"Every patient's aesthetic surgery needs and goals are different," says Dr. Metzner. "Achieving the desired result requires both the creative and analytical parts of my mind working through my surgical skills." For Dr. Metzner, his eyes and hands are the vehicles for accomplishing the desired result.
Dr. Metzner is board certified in two specialties recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties: Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat surgery).

San Diego.
Dr. Metzner has been practicing cosmetic plastic surgery in the Greater New Orleans area since 1977, and has patients from all over the world.
While Dr. Metzner's medical school honors and board certifications attest to his knowledge, his artistic surgical skill is the basis of his recognition. "A surgeon must be versatile to customize procedures to give each of his patients the best possible result," says Dr. Metzner.
In his free time, Dr. Metzner has audited art classes at Harvard, created custom jewelry and sculpted. When working with a patient, he thinks of himself not only as a surgeon but also as an artist.
