Medical Philosophy:
As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of clinical experience, my philosophy in cosmetic surgery is grounded in truly understanding each patient’s vision — not only the physical changes they desire, but the emotional transformations that come with them. I believe cosmetic surgery is most powerful when it supports confidence, restores harmony between how patients feel and how they see themselves, and honors their individuality.
My approach is patient centered and collaborative. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and tailor each plan to align with the patient’s goals, values, and sense of identity. Technical precision and aesthetic judgment matter, but so does creating an environment where patients feel safe, respected, and understood.
Above all, I strive to care for every patient with the same attention, honesty, and compassion I would offer my own family. ‘
Dr. Bulan has been recognized for both clinical excellence and contributions to the field. His honors include being named among NJ Top Docs and New Jersey Family Top Physicians, induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, and receiving the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation Certificate of Merit for Clinical Research for his work on the health benefits of large volume liposuction.
Outside of his practice, Dr. Bulan is a devoted husband and father of two. He enjoys sports card collecting, golfing, hiking, and spending time outdoors—often with a bit of chocolate in hand. A self-proclaimed connoisseur of 80s music, he also appreciates the nostalgia and energy of the era. He proudly supports the Hope and Heroes Foundation, reflecting his commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond the operating room.
