A double board-certified and fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Harmon is specialized in the cosmetic surgical and non-surgical care of the face, neck, eyes, nose, and hair. He brings sub-specialty training and advanced techniques in facial plastic surgery to the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

Dr. Harmon’s mission is to help individuals on their journey to self-confidence, ensuring they feel cared for, listened to, and respected. He recognizes the intelligence of those who seek facial plastic surgery and strives to educate them accordingly.

Dr. Harmon offers some of the most advanced techniques in facial plastic surgery. For example, he is among the few surgeons in the world trained in the extended deep plane facelift by the surgeon who developed the technique, Dr. Andrew Jacono. This training extends to complementary procedures including the brow lift (lateral temporal brow lift), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and lip lift. He is also a specialist in nose surgery (rhinoplasty), having been extensively training in multiple surgical approaches – open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty – as well as revision nose surgery (rhinoplasty). Finally, Dr. Harmon specializes in surgical and non-surgical treatments for hair loss. His background in head and neck surgery and facial plastic surgery instructs his aesthetic eye and allows him to offer a range of techniques that can provide natural results, whether surgical or non-surgical.

Dr. Harmon is involved in every aspect of care, welcoming patients into his office for consultations, performing his own photography, and leading all preoperative counseling and post-operative care. He performs all procedures, including the administration of Botox© and dermal filler, himself.

Dr. Harmon leads an experienced, dedicated team composed of clinical coordinators, nurses, and anesthesiology physicians in a nationally accredited surgical suite who are singularly focused on excellence in surgical care. These professionals are integral to providing the natural results Dr. Harmon is known for.

Born at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in Northern Kentucky, Dr. Jeffrey Harmon is the oldest child and only son of attorneys. His parents sacrificed to ensure that he received the best possible education and had access to every opportunity to pursue his talents and interests. As a result, Dr. Harmon and his wife have made the same commitment to their two children.

Dr. Harmon has two younger sisters. One sister is an inpatient pharmacist in New York City, a dedicated dog mom, and a wonderful aunt. His youngest sister is a musician and songwriter in Nashville. She has two fun, kind children who remain close with Dr. Harmon’s children. His siblings have long grounded him. They have reinforced the importance of respect for and care towards others.

Dr. Harmon has had a love for sports from a young age. In fact, he was a competitive gymnast from age seven to thirteen. He retired only because he grew too tall for the equipment. He attended St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati where he discovered the sport of rowing (crew). Crew quickly became Dr. Harmon’s passion, occupying almost all his time after school. The long hours training after school and on weekends from a young age not only engendered discipline but also taught him how to set and achieve long-term goals. These lessons were central to many of his achievements, including in his medical career.

Dr. Harmon was recruited to row for Cornell University. He studied molecular biology at Cornell with the intention of applying to medical school. Medicine was not his only academic interest, however. In fact, he initially considered joining the foreign service as a diplomat due to his interest in history, languages, and other cultures.

Dr. Harmon decided to delay attending medical school for one year after graduating from Cornell. He accepted an opportunity to teach at Weill Cornell Medical College in Doha, Qatar where he taught biology and chemistry to undergraduate students from all over the world. Dr. Harmon learned how science can serve as a bridge between cultures during his time in Doha. He also learned the value of teaching in helping to formulate, organize, and communicate his own ideas. These skills would serve him well as a physician communicating with patients and physicians-in-training.

Dr. Harmon returned home after teaching in Doha to attend medical school at the University of Cincinnati. It was during his clinical rotations that he discovered a love for head and neck surgery, specifically facial plastic surgery. This led him to residency in head and neck surgery at the University of Cincinnati. He chose to train in a surgical subspecialty because he had a desire to work with his hands, identified with the surgeons who practiced facial plastic surgery, and enjoyed caring for the patients.

Dr. Harmon developed a talent for facial plastic surgery procedures in residency. His accomplishments led him to one of the world’s most prestigious facial plastic surgery fellowship training programs in New York City. His fellowship training was a formative experience. It opened multiple opportunities all over the country to start his practice. However, his fellowship director explained “Jeff, you will wind up either where you are from or where your wife is from.” He was correct. Dr. Harmon and his family returned home. The decision was both practical and fit with Dr. Harmon’s desire to serve the community he grew up in. It was one of the best decisions he and his wife have ever made.

Dr. Harmon, his wife Fara, and their children have built a happy life in Cincinnati in the years since they founded Harmon Facial Plastic Surgery. The founding and development of the practice was a labor of love by Dr. Harmon and his wife. Fara Harmon has a background in nursing and healthcare administration at the Ohio State University and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She serves not only as a founder but also the practice manager of the office. Like his siblings, his wife and children ground Dr. Harmon. They are a gift. They and his patients are who Dr. Harmon works tirelessly for every day. He looks forward to many more years caring for patients in the Cincinnati area and beyond. Dr. Harmon and his wife will continue to build a practice their patients and children are proud of.
