Dr. Marn, NYU and Hopkins trained, delivers a smooth ride for our patients. We often treat patients with co-morbidities that he evaluates first. If he says a patient is a no-go he’s the boss and we defer surgery. With over 10,000 safely performed surgeries over the last 20 years we thank him for his contribution! #anesthesiologist #boardcertified

Plastic surgeons rely on knowledge of anatomy and

Plastic surgeons rely on knowledge of anatomy and technique to perform rhinoplasty. Nasal anatomy is less complex compared to other parts of the body but the challenge is in treating the myriad variations that occur in each part of the nose. A seemingly infinite number of techniques have been developed as a result. Plastic surgeons have to choose the right ones among so many while making adjustments on the fly for each patient. Superimpose the vagaries of healing and this is why rhinoplasty is so challenging. Fortunately today there are great teaching courses such as the annual Dallas Rhinoplasty Symposium where the masters impart their wisdom and experience to both novice and experienced colleagues alike. @rod.rohrich #rhinoplasty #rhinoplastysurgeon #nosejobs #nosejobbeforeandafter #nose #newnose #lookinggreat #naturalresults

It occurred to me that the “before and after”

It occurred to me that the “before and after” rhinoplasty pictures taken in the operating room for Instagram posts could be immediately shared with the parents in the waiting room and also texted to our patients to see later the same evening or next day. This removes the 5 day mystery while the splint is on and provides a measure of instant gratification for both the parents and patient alike. Our patient here had surgery last Friday and I received the text reply (next image) Saturday night! This addition to our routine, stimulated by Instagram posting, has made for a better patient experience. #rhinoplasty #rhinoplastysurgeon #nosejobs #nosejobbeforeandafter #nose #newnose #lookinggreat #naturalresults #instagram #patientcare

The pursuit of perfection includes using the best

The pursuit of perfection includes using the best tools. When they’re not available we have to invent them. Plastic surgeons work through 1” neck incisions during facelifts where visibility and adequate lighting is critical. The standard retractor is often inadequate. I have developed a new design over the past year. The polished surface and the added “ears” dramatically improve lighting and exposure (next image). It’s now ready for production! #design #betterresults #pursuitofperfection #instruments

This 4’ x 5’ drawing titled “First Date” was adapted from the next image seen. The boy was moved closer to the girl and his arm drawn back to increase the connectivity between the two. The third image shows the hanging dice that were added for three reasons: it was a period correct practice to have them; it symbolizes the crap shoot that all early relationships are; and it provides a visual connecting element between the two heads as the eye scans the drawing. The last image is just a detail shot. Many more months before complete!

In contrast to our recent post on closed rhinoplas

In contrast to our recent post on closed rhinoplasties, open rhinoplasty is better suited to achieving multiple aesthetic goals that includes reshaping the tip. There is a small scar under the nose and the tip swelling takes longer to go away. The majority of patients are best served with this technique. #openrhinoplasty #closedrhinoplasty #rhinoplastysurgeon #nose #newnose #nosejobs #nosejob #nosejobbeforeandafter #lookingreat

This procedure is rarely done but can be the perfect solution in the right patient. There is no muscle repair as in the standard abdominoplasty and the scope of surgery is far less. The recovery is much easier as a result.

A treat for the surgeon and patient alike! Rarely

A treat for the surgeon and patient alike! Rarely, patients have essentially a perfect nose except for a hump. The overall dimensions are excellent and most importantly the tip shape and position need no intervention. A rhinoplasty that just eliminates the hump alone can be done entirely through the nostrils. This simpler and more traditional method is called a “closed” rhinoplasty. Besides being more efficient and less invasive the big advantage is that the nasal tip swelling goes away quickly compared to a more complex “open” rhinoplasty. #closedrhinoplasty #endonasalrhinoplasty #rhinoplastysurgeon #nosejob #nosejobs #nosejobbeforeandafter #nose #newnose #lookinggreat

This young mom experienced breast deflation from breast feeding two children. This is a totally normal occurrence that does not require treatment. However, she wanted to restore breast appearance, primarily to simplify clothing issues. A “lollipop” scar pattern breast lift was used to remove loose skin, push the breasts up, and shrink the size of the areolas. The lift was combined with placement of small saline implants to fill out the top of the breasts. Although all implants need eventual replacement, saline implants can last for decades, typically much longer than silicone implants. Furthermore, in cases like this where small implants (150 cc) are used, there is no real advantage to using silicone anyway. #breastlift #breastaugmentation #breastimplants #breastfeeding #mastopexy #backtonormal #pickmeup #lookinggood #lollipop #plasticsurgeonnyc

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, 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

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
