James Marotta, MD FACS Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists

Meet Dr. James Marotta

Dr. Marotta is a dual board certified facial plastic surgeon on Long Island, NY, with education and training from some of the finest institutions in the world.

He attended Columbia University and later graduated as president of the medical honor society at SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine. He trained at Yale University in head and neck surgery and was consistently recognized as the top head and neck surgeon in the program.

Dr. Marotta then completed additional sub-specialty training as a fellow in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery at one of the leading facial plastic fellowships in the country. Board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Marotta specializes in facial plastic surgery with particular expertise and interest in minimally invasive (endoscopic) facial plastic surgery and facial rejuvenation (surgical and non-surgical) and rhinoplasty.

He has consistently been named the Best Cosmetic Surgeon on Long Island since 2013 due to this great expertise, patient care and understanding of plastic surgery changes.

In addition to his plastic surgery experience, Dr. Marotta is also a top hair restoration surgeon offering the most advanced hair restoration and transplantation techniques available at Marotta Hair Restoration, a division of Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists. Hair transplantation can restore natural hair to the hairline, top of the head or crown. Dr. Marotta performs hair replacement procedures with Follicular Unit Transplantation, achieving the most natural results for his patients by transplanting one hair follicle at a time, as opposed to two or three. This eliminates the possibility of a “clumped” appearance, instead creating a desirable, natural look.

In addition to his clinical practice, also holds hospital privileges at St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine. Dr. Marotta has achieved a medical doctorate with distinction in research and has published several scientific articles, including articles on revision rhinoplasty and the midface lift. He continues to conduct research and write medical manuscripts. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). Dr. Marotta regularly attends medical conferences to stay abreast of the latest advances in his field.

Humanitarian Causes

As a physician, Dr. Marotta feels a deep sense of responsibility to give back through humanitarian efforts. Each year, he travels abroad to volunteer his time and surgical expertise, providing life-changing reconstructive procedures to individuals in underserved communities. His medical mission work has taken him to countries including Ecuador and Guatemala, where he has helped provide specialized surgical care, including reconstructive procedures for individuals born with microtia, a condition in which the external ear is underdeveloped or absent. Through these missions, Dr. Marotta continues his commitment to making quality surgical care accessible to those who need it most.

While deeply dedicated to his profession and the patients he serves, family remains at the heart of Dr. Marotta’s life. A devoted husband and father of two, he values the time spent with his wife and children, creating memories and enjoying life outside of the practice. An avid golfer and sports enthusiast, Dr. Marotta embraces an active lifestyle, whether he's on the golf course, hitting the ski slopes, or enjoying Long Island’s beautiful beaches. Above all, he treasures the opportunity to spend quality time and share meaningful experiences with those closest to him.
