Here is our last 6 week follow-up before closing down. "Tummy tucks" (abdominoplasty) have a tough recovery due to the top to bottom muscle repair (see last image). Significant advances such as long acting local anesthetic (Exparel) injected at surgery and avoiding drains (routinely required previously) have had a great impact in easing recovery. This procedure restores abdominal muscle mechanics to improve posture and alleviate associated back symptoms. Besides the obvious benefits in clothing and swim wear, patients like this are no longer embarrassed by polite inquiries about their due date. #abdominoplasty #tummytuck #flatabs #rectusdiastasis #abdominoplastyexpert

This Wall Street Journal article proclaims fitness

This Wall Street Journal article proclaims fitness, proper diet and non surgical treatments are all we need to look great at 50! However these remedies can only do so much. Postpartum body changes and significant facial aging often require surgery, an inherently more powerful tool, to make an impact. Moreover, surgery is often a more economical option in the long run. BTW, do not be discouraged. I doubt the examples shown of the “new” 50 are all surgery free! #lookgood #nosurgery #postpartumbody #aging #plasticsurgery #fitnessgoals #diet #breastsugmentation #breastlift #blepharoplasty #faceliftsurgery

Rhinoplasty surgery in the 1990s was not as sophis

Rhinoplasty surgery in the 1990s was not as sophisticated as it is today. The results often did not age well, particularly the tip area. Our patient is a good example of this. Her tip was reconstructed with an open method using cartilage grafts. She still has some subtle swelling at three months but the shape has been restored and the nostrils look better too. Procedures like this, while perhaps conceptually simple, are very challenging and usually take much longer to accomplish than the original procedure did decades ago. #rhinoplasty #reconstructiverhinoplasty #tipplasty #openrhinoplasty #cartilagegrafts #rhinoplastyexpert #secondaryrhinoplasty #breathebetter #tipdeformity #90s

Our patient has breast hardening and shape distort

Our patient has breast hardening and shape distortion caused by old silicone implants. Note the excess upper breast fullness and the flattened bottom. The hardened scar tissue was removed, the breast reshaped, and a special lining material called acellular dermal matrix (ADM) placed to prevent the hardening from coming back. She opted for saline implants this time as a hedge against needing further surgery in the future. I will be giving a lecture on this very topic at the Northeastern Society of Plastic surgeons this weekend. #breast augmentation #capsularcontracture #capsulectomy #siliconeimplants #breastrevisionsurgery #nycplasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonny

Our patient underwent a facelift using an #extended-SMAS technique. This method is reserved for patients with both heavy jowls and drooping upper cheeks. Her neck contour has been improved at the same time by removing fat under the chin and tightening the neck muscles and skin. She has a wonderfully positive attitude and as the mother of a young plastic surgeon colleague I was especially honored to be entrusted with her care. #facelift #SMAS #necklift #nycplasticsurgeon #ASAPS

We just had our 20-year anniversary of our office operating facility! An onsite surgicenter is a far more comforting environment than a hospital and also avoids the risk of a hospital acquired infection. Equally important, our staff works together as a team every day, providing both a seamless flow to the surgical procedures and a personalized recovery room experience for our patients. Our operating facility is certified by the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, a national organization enforcing the highest standards in outpatient surgery care. We partner with them to ensure a safe experience for every patient, our highest priority. #AAAASF #ambulatorysurgery #surgicenter #samedaydischarge

Dermabrasion (the real type, not micro-dermabrasion) is the most powerful tool for treating wrinkles around the mouth. This result shows what is possible but there is a risk of permanent skin lighting and a lengthy healing period that increases the deeper the treatment is rendered.
