Early years
Eisenberg was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Martin (a graphic artist) and Mollie (a housewife), and graduated from Overbrook High School (Philadelphia). He received a B.S. in pre-medicine from the Pennsylvania State University and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.[3] He trained in General Surgery at Metropolitan Hospital and Plastic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University, Albert Einstein Medical Center Northern Division and Hahnemann Hospital. He married Joyce Kirschner in 1973 and has a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Samantha.
Career
Much of Eisenberg's early work in the mid-1980s involved the use of tissue expansion for reconstructive surgery. He implanted tissue expanders for a total nasal reconstruction after cancer surgery; to repair a scalp that was scarred from shrapnel wounds incurred by a Marine during the Korean War; to build a breast for a young woman with Poland syndrome; to expand a contracted eye socket in order to provide a silicone foundation as require for an acrylic eye prosthesis.[4] Eisenberg's research on Dupuytren's contracture is published in a French monograph.[5] For over a decade, he served on a national committee that evaluates the standards for plastic surgery residencies.[6] He was National Chairman of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and served on the certifying board of the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery [7]
Since 1999, Eisenberg has focused his practice solely on cosmetic breast surgery: augmentation mammoplasty, mastopexy (breast lift), correction of breast asymmetry, and breast reduction.[8] He has contributed articles on the trade-off's between saline versus silicone breast implants,[9] minimizing post-operative nausea and vomiting,[10] and a novel use of the StratticeTM patch for breast implant exposure.[11] An authority on simultaneous augmentation mastopexy,[12] Eisenberg is the creator of the IDEAL Breast Lift,[13] a technique to previsualize the extent of tissue to be removed to achieve symmetry and maximum lift.[14][15] He teaches his technique to surgeons around the country. Eisenberg was named a Fellow in the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and is an associate professor of surgery at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
