SPECIALTIES
Dr. Failey has the experience and technical skill necessary to perform an array of cosmetic procedures and has produced life-changing transformations for countless patients. He has had extensive training in cosmetic plastic surgery. As one of our doctors at The Peer Group, he performs an array of operations, including breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and rhinoplasty. Dr. Failey also offers non-surgical treatments that range from Botox and fillers for wrinkles and volume loss, to the Fraxel laser, which he utilizes for skin resurfacing and scar improvement.
Dr. Failey is equally passionate about changing the lives of women who require breast reconstruction following a partial or complete mastectomy for breast cancer. His dual training in plastic and general surgery allows him to better understand the complexities of the surgical management of the breast so he can help guide his patients through this physically and emotionally challenging process. For patients undergoing partial mastectomy, Dr. Failey performs an oncoplastic reconstruction to repair the partial mastectomy defect and, if necessary, he will operate on the unaffected side to ensure symmetry of the breasts. For patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral mastectomy, he offers the latest techniques in above-the-muscle (pre-pectoral) implant-based reconstruction, as well as the most advanced microvascular DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) and free-TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) flaps, which use a patient’s own abdominal tissue to reconstruct the breast or breasts without implants.
Education and Training
Dr. Failey received his medical degree from Albany Medical College and went on to complete an intensive six-year general surgery program at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ.

His efforts earned him a coveted spot in the plastic surgery training program at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.
