A great facelift should result in a natural, more youthful appearance. At Allure Plastic Surgery in New York, we want to give you a refreshed look, not the stretched, unnatural appearance that often accompanies poorly done facelifts. Our goals for a great facelift include:

• Ensuring you understand your options for facelift and facial rejuvenation.
• Setting and exceeding your expectations for your refreshed look.
• Enhancing your natural appearance by reversing the signs of aging in your face.

A great facelift can address the sagging and loss of fullness that time and gravity cause in your lower face and neck. However, for full facial rejuvenation, you may want to include a browlift, cheeklift, or fat injections in your surgical plan. These procedures can address other issues in the face, such as drooping brows, wrinkles or sagging cheeks. During your consultation at Allure Plastic Surgery, we will discuss your full range of options and recommend a combination of procedures that give you the refreshed face you are seeking.

Are you ready to explore your facelift options? Call today at (212) 661-2563 to arrange your consultation with an experienced New York plastic surgeon. We welcome patients throughout New York City, Manhattan, and Long Island.

The world of cosmetic enhancements is always moving forward and this past year brought us some remarkable new treatments and options.

Ideal Breast Implants

The IDEAL IMPLANT® was approved by the FDA in September. This new saline implant offers an alternative to traditional saline or silicone breast implants. It allows women to choose a saline implant with a more natural feel, which is generally associated with silicone implants.

Restylane Silk

For those very fine lines around the lips, Restylane Silk offers an improved option for subtle lip enhancement.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Advances in laser technology, brought us the Enlighten laser, which can treat most skin types and remove tattoos more quickly than some other lasers.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Although not new in 2015, the year continued the upward trend of buttock enhancement that began in the “year of the booty” in 2014. This fat transfer method has helped thousands of women achieve the shapelier bodies that today’s trends make desirable.

CoolMini

Just like CoolSculpting®, the CoolMini treatment is a non-surgical procedure that freezes fat in your neck region. Patients can expect a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat around the neck.

Male breast reductions for teens aged 13-19 increased 14 percent over the last year – the largest increase in teens seeking plastic surgery according to the statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Male breast reduction is the third most requested cosmetic procedure among teens today.

Due to an imbalance in estrogen and testosterone, young males can develop larger breasts, which can lead to insecurities and poor self-esteem during their formative teen years. Male breast reduction, known as gynecomastia, can help these teens regain the confidence they need. This procedure has been available for decades, but with current trends in social media focusing on selfies and the individual’s appearance, many teens are turning to surgical intervention to correct these flaws.

Depending on the degree of glandular and fatty tissue involved, male breast reduction may consist of only liposuction or surgery to remove excess tissue in addition to liposuction. In consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, you can discuss the right options.

Is your teen suffering with the embarrassment of overly large male breasts? Call Allure Plastic Surgery today at (212) 661-2563 to arrange your consultation with an experienced New York plastic surgeon. We welcome patients throughout New York City, Manhattan, and Long Island.

Women have been getting breast implants for decades, and the breast implant procedure has always been a safe operation.

Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia, can help you feel more comfortable in your own body if you have over-developed or enlarged breasts. Up to half of U.S. men will experience some form of enlarged breasts in their lifetime, and nearly 13,000 men undergo breast reduction surgery each year.

It may be the right procedure for you if you are:

• Embarrassed by excess tissue in your chest region
• Dealing with a breast development that has stabilized
• Unable to treat the condition with alternative means
• Maintaining a stable, healthy weight
• In good overall health

The male breast reduction procedure removes excess fat and skin from your chest to achieve a more toned, masculine appearance. In some cases, liposuction alone can be used to treat the condition by removing excess fatty deposits. In other cases, you will need liposuction combined with a surgical incision to remove excess skin and tighten the skin over the chest area.

This surgery can greatly improve your self-confidence with natural-looking results. To determine if male breast reduction is right for you, call Allure Plastic Surgery today at (212) 661-2563 to schedule your consultation with one of our highly skilled New York plastic surgeons. We welcome patients throughout New York City, Manhattan, and Long Island.

Recovery from breast augmentation will require a few weeks of time. On the day of your surgery, you will be released to return home. You will wear a bandage and wrap or sports bra home. You will need a friend or relative to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours. If you have small children, you will need to arrange for someone to care for them during your first few days of recovery. You will not be able to lift them.

Starting the day after your surgery and during the first week of recovery, you should begin to walk around your house to stimulate blood flow, which will aid your body’s natural healing process.

You should expect bruising, swelling, and some tenderness. You will be prescribed pain medication and antibiotics to make your recovery more comfortable.

By the end of the first week, you will begin returning to normal daily and activities, and within a few weeks, you will be cleared for more strenuous activities such as rigorous exercise. We will monitor your recovery in your follow-up appointments, and the doctor will clear you for activities as your body heals at its own rate.
