Dr. Jason Lichten and the staff of Central Ohio Plastic Surgery, Inc. pride themselves on providing excellent results while giving personal attention to each patient in every step of their Columbus cosmetic surgery experience. At Central Ohio Plastic Surgery, we believe in keeping up with new technologies, but offering our patients only those that have a proven track record of safety and effectiveness. We want to ensure that our Columbus plastic and cosmetic surgery patients receive the best care we can give them.
After completing a full five year general surgery residency and a two year plastic surgery residency, and receiving numerous honors along the way, Dr. Lichten returned to his roots to offer cosmetic surgery in Columbus, Ohio at Central Ohio Plastic Surgery, Inc., which he founded. He is the first and only full time plastic surgeon in the history of Fairfield County. In 2007, Dr. Lichten expanded his practice to include an office in Groveport, Ohio, so he could more conveniently serve his patients in Columbus and all of Franklin County. Although Dr. Lichten enjoys performing all aspects of plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he finds performing breast surgeries including breast augmentation and breast reconstruction after mastectomy to be particularly rewarding.

Columbus Cosmetic Surgery for the Breasts
Dr. Lichten performs a number of breast enhancement surgeries for women and men to create an improved appearance and enhanced self-confidence. The breast enhancement procedures offered at Central Ohio Plastic Surgery include:
Breast Augmentation
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast Reduction
Male Breast Reduction for Gynecomastia
Dr. Lichten's breast enhancement patients have come to him looking for relief from back pain, shoulder grooving, sagging breasts or breasts that just don't seem to fit their bodies. Each breast surgery is a very personal, individualized process – the challenge is to create breasts that are the right size, shape and proportion to the rest of the patient's body. Dr. Lichten works with each patient to carefully explain the processes involved and create the best possible outcomes.
Specializing in Mommy Makeovers
No matter how much women love their children, they don't always love what pregnancy has done to their bodies. Most of Dr. Lichten's "mommy makeover" patients are not looking to radically alter their appearances; they are simply looking to restore their bodies to pre-pregnancy condition. When diet and exercise aren't enough, often a mommy makeover is the solution. Most patients accomplish their goals using a combination of a breast lift or breast augmentation in Columbus, along with liposuction and a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Rejuvenating Faces
A person's face is the first feature that people see; it can tell a lot about a person. Aging, sun exposure, pollution and smoking can all take a toll, creating fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots. Dr. Lichten can help turn back the clock using skin care treatments, injectables, and surgery. He believes that the best results come when patients look like themselves, only years younger.
When patients complain about a few localized wrinkles, the solution can be non-surgical. Dr. Lichten has been extensively trained in using BOTOX ® Cosmetic, Restylane®, JUVÉDERM®, Perlane® and Sculptra®. BOTOX in Columbus, Ohio is a purified protein which relaxes the muscles, helping to smooth out lines on the forehead and around the eyes. Dermal fillers like Restylane and JUVÉDERM actually fill in or plump up wrinkles, and are usually used around the mouth and lips. During a consultation with Dr. Lichten, he can recommend which injectable is best for your individual goals.
For patients who are looking for a more permanent rejuvenation, surgery may be the answer. Depending upon the areas of concern, Dr. Lichten may perform an eyelid lift, a brow lift or a full face lift.
Dr. Lichten's Training and Experience
Dr. Lichten earned his BA in Biology and Chemistry with Honors from Brandeis University, near Boston. He then attended and graduated from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. To begin his postdoctoral training, he travelled to New York to complete a full general surgery residency at Beth Israel Medical Center. He completed his formal training with a plastic surgery residency at The Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Dr. Lichten is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. He is an ambassador for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and a founding officer of the Columbus Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Lichten maintains privileges at Fairfield Medical Center, Mt. Carmel East, Eastside Surgery Center, and Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Breast Augmentation Patient

Tummy Tuck Patient
"I would gladly send anyone to you ... you have a great bedside manner and take your time explaining things and ensure all questions are answered. I never felt rushed, or like a "number." I just felt a better connection and more at ease with you. I will definitely have plenty of nice things to say to people about you. You are truly a very nice guy and you take your time with the patients and works with them. That is rare to find."
Breast Lift and Augmentation Patient
"Your care and expertise is very much appreciated and will not be forgotten. Please send my thanks to your office staff also. The professionalism and caring attitude was appreciated. You and your office staff has earned my gratitude and respect. Again thank you very much."
Chest Wall Reconstruction Patient
"Dr. Lichten did a remarkable job in finishing my breast cancer reconstruction. He "built nipples out of nothing" and reshaped them to look completely natural. A feat I thought impossible after the double-mastectomy, skin stretching and implants, but especially the radiation damage. He fixed the damage done by other surgeons. I only regret not finding him first! He is truly an artist, one with a wonderful bedside manner, willingness to really listen and take his time. He made the memory of my cancer disappear being the gifted surgeon he is. I'd recommend him to anyone for any procedure."
Breast Reconstruction Patient
"The doctor was very good relating to children and adults...[and] is obviously very skilled. It's so nice to see someone who is intelligent, skilled, and able to relate to people. It's nice that he is at ease with himself because it relaxes tense young patients."
Mother of 14 year old skin graft patient
