Learn more about what our previous patients have to say about their thigh lift with New Look New Life. What Is Discussed During My Thigh Lift Consultation? During your thigh lift consultation, your board-certified cosmetic surgeon will conduct a thorough consultation and evaluation of your medical condition. Once you are cleared as a candidate for your thigh lift, your surgical procedure will be scheduled. During your thigh lift consultation, your surgeon will: Discuss your goals for your thigh lift Evaluate your skin condition Take photos Explain your surgical options Recommend any combination procedures Develop a surgical plan If you think you may be a candidate for thigh lift surgery, contact New Look New Life Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Thigh Lift? Thigh lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. This operation usually takes between two and four hours to complete, and you will be able to return home after a brief stay in our recovery suite. Where Are My Thigh Lift Incisions Made? Your thigh lift incisions will vary depending on the extent of your surgery and the amount of fat and excess skin to be treated. Your surgeon will either use the medial or vertical thigh lift technique. The medial thigh lift involves incisions within the folds of the groin that extend to the lower butt crease. The vertical thigh lift involves the removal of skin and inner thigh tissue through a vertical incision that starts at the groin and extends down the inner leg toward the knee. Should I Combine My Thigh Lift With a Body Lift? Some patients who have lost substantial weight have loose skin on the thighs as well as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and lower back. These patients may benefit from a body lift , as this surgery treats the circumference of the body. You can discuss all potential body contouring procedures and helpful combinations during your consultation. What Will My Thigh Lift Recovery Be Like? Recovery after a thigh lift is somewhat lengthier than other cosmetic procedures. While you will walk out of surgery on your own, you will need a ride home and are likely to require assistance at home during your initial recovery period. Discomfort and soreness may last a week or more as you heal and your skin takes its new, slimmer shape. Bed rest is not recommended after the procedure — in fact, walking will aid in your recovery. For optimal healing and comfort, our team recommends that you take two weeks off from work. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during your recovery. Is Thigh Lift Surgery Painful? Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you should not feel any pain during the procedure. It is common to develop some pain, tenderness, bruising, and swelling following your thigh lift. This discomfort can be alleviated with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Will My Thigh Lift Leave Scars? Thigh lift surgery requires incisions. Therefore, there will be some scarring following your operation; however, the extent of this scarring will depend on the extent of the surgical procedure. Often, you will have two scars along the tops of your inner thighs. After healing, most patients find that these scars are very well-hidden by underwear and bathing suits. You can help reduce the visibility of scarring by keeping the healing incisions out of the sun, not exercising too soon, following all of your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, and applying scar-fading treatments. What Does Thigh Lift Surgery Cost in New York? At New Look New Life Surgical Arts in New York, your thigh lift surgery is tailored to your needs and physique. Our thigh lift surgeries start as low as $8,500 but may vary depending on the surgery’s extent and any combined techniques being performed. Additional cost factors include anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits. You will be provided with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your thigh lift in New York. When will I see my thigh lift results? Your slimmer, more toned thighs will be evident immediately after your surgery. These results will continue to improve over the following weeks and months as swelling subsides and your body heals. How should I prepare for my thigh lift? Since your thigh lift is performed under general anesthesia, you will need to stop smoking and avoid all blood-thinning medication, including aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, and some herbal supplements, for at least 10 to 14 days before and after the surgery. You will also need to arrange for a family member or friend to get you to and from the surgery and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours to assist with all day-to-day activities. If you are a gastric bypass patient, your surgeon will consult with your physician to ensure surgery and recovery needs are safely met. You should not eat or drink on the day of surgery, and you will be most comfortable in loose-fitting clothing. What are the risks associated with thigh lift surgery? Thigh lift surgery is very safe, especially when performed by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. While rare, complications can arise, including: Infection Bleeding Poor scarring Patients experiencing any unusual or concerning symptoms are advised to call their surgeon’s cell phone immediately. Are there alternatives to thigh lift surgery? Patients who simply wish to reduce the size of their thighs without the need for excess skin removal may opt for liposuction of the thighs instead . Your board-certified cosmetic surgeon at New Look New Life will thoroughly discuss your options and goals with you and make a recommendation that’s right for you. Are my thigh lift results permanent? While the longevity of results will vary by patient depending on their genetics, physical activity, and ability to maintain a stable weight, thigh lift and liposuction results tend to be long lasting. You will enjoy the benefits of your procedure long into the future as long as you eat well and exercise regularly. Thigh skin is expected to lose some elasticity over time, and you may notice slight laxity as you age. Frequently Asked Questions

Get A Quote What Is a Body Lift After Weight Loss? A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses excess tissue and fat in patients who have lost extreme amounts of weight, especially those who have undergone bariatric or gastric bypass surgery. For these men and women, exercise cannot eliminate the skin that has lost its elasticity. We customize each body lift procedure to the patient and their unique needs for the abdomen, buttocks, back, and thighs. Why should I choose New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts? New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts is a boutique cosmetic surgery practice in the heart of bustling New York City.

This personalized care places New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts far above the rest. What Are the Benefits of Body Lift Surgery? Thigh lift surgery is performed on women and men to: Eliminate sagging or hanging skin resulting from weight loss Reduce remaining pockets of fat Tighten and sculpt body contours to highlight your weight loss Expand wardrobe opportunities Increase your confidence Am I a Candidate for a Body Lift? Massive weight loss is an amazing accomplishment that should be rewarded with a healthier life and a more confident outlook. For many, the excess skin that remains after weight loss restricts movement, comfortable dressing, and prevents complete enjoyment of the weight loss. Our surgeons recommend that patients maintain their weight loss for a minimum of six months to a year before choosing a body lift. At New Look New Life, we pride ourselves on tailoring the safest and most effective cosmetic treatments to each individual patient. Drawing on our surgeons’ general surgery backgrounds, they often recommend that patients undergo body lift procedures in two or more stages. Anesthesia risks are reduced, and the recovery is more manageable. How Can I Personalize My Body Lift? A body lift is a comprehensive body contouring surgery that combines many surgical techniques. Because of this, our cosmetic surgery experts often suggest staggering your surgical procedure, with a lower body lift being performed separately from an upper body lift. What Is a Lower Body Lift? Your lower body lift will likely include a tummy tuck, thigh lifts, and a butt lift or buttocks enhancement. Tummy tuck surgery addresses the abdomen by trimming excess skin, removing fat pockets, and tightening abdominal muscles. Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thigh. Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits across the body. Butt lift surgery removes excess skin around the buttocks and lower back. Butt enhancement surgery, with the Brazilian Butt Lift , reshapes the buttocks by grafting fat that has been taken elsewhere from your body. This creates a fuller, shapelier backside. What Is an Upper Body Lift? Your upper body lift will include a chest or breast lift, back lift, and arm lifts. Breast lift surgery tightens breast skin and tissue to raise sagging breasts. This surgery also repositions and resizes the areolas. Arm lift surgery trims excess skin and fat from the upper arms. Back lift surgery addresses excess skin in the back area. How Is the Body Lift Performed? Our surgeons will skillfully make as few incisions as possible, removing excess fat and skin as is suitable for your body. Their dedication to natural contouring and appropriate size reduction will give you the slender, tighter appearance you desire. A total body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed in a hospital setting. Patients who undergo this type of body lift surgery will spend a few days recovering in the hospital prior to returning home to rest. For patients who choose to stage their body lift procedures, an overnight stay is not required. If you choose to have a total body lift, then you will require an overnight hospital stay. What Will My Body Lift Recovery Be Like? Body lift recovery requires one to two weeks if done in stages. A total body lift requires a significant amount of additional rest and recovery time. You will be provided with a specific recovery plan that takes all of your surgical techniques into account. It is important to rest during your recovery and not push yourself too soon. Failure to follow this could result in a prolonged healing period with post-surgical complications. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during your recovery. Is Body Lift Surgery Painful? Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you will feel no pain during the surgery itself. Because body lift surgery is extensive, it is expected to develop discomfort and pain in the days and weeks following your procedure. The extent of this will depend on whether you staggered your procedures or had the surgeries performed simultaneously. Your cosmetic surgeon will prescribe pain medication to ease any discomfort. Will My Body Lift Leave Scars? Your body lift requires incisions; therefore, the surgery will result in scars. The placement and extent of this scarring will depend on the types of surgical techniques being performed in your body lift and the amount of skin removed. The board-certified cosmetic surgeons at New Look New Life do everything they can to make these incisions as hidden and concealable as possible. All scars fade with time and can be lessened with scar-fading treatments. Please be sure to keep your healing incisions out of the sun, as this can darken their pigment. What Does Body Lift Surgery Cost in New York? Because a body lift is personalized to your needs, the cost of your surgery varies significantly. Our expert team at New Look New Life will provide you with an accurate cost estimate once your surgical plan has been determined. This price will include all the techniques combined as well as anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your thigh lift in New York. When will I see my body lift results? Whether performed as a total procedure or staged in sections, body lift results are immediate and significant. As with most cosmetic procedures, your enhanced body will continue to improve throughout the healing process. How should I prepare for my body lift? Body lift surgery is an invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, it is important to quit smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and temporarily stop blood-thinning medication use (such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and ibuprofen). Also, patients undergoing body lifts after weight loss should have reached and maintained a stable weight. Please speak with your prescribing doctor to be sure it is safe for you to pause medication use. Because body lift surgery requires downtime, it helps to arrange for help during your recovery. This includes scheduling time off work and your required activities, arranging for childcare, stocking up on healthy meals, and setting up a comfortable recovery zone. What are the risks associated with body lift surgery? Body lift surgery is very safe when performed by the experienced cosmetic surgery team at New Look New Life. Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate surgical risk. These risks may include: Adverse reactions to anesthesia Blood clots Infection Bleeding Proper adherence to recovery guidelines is important to prevent wound separation or the need for additional wound care. Patients experiencing any unusual or concerning symptoms are advised to call their surgeon’s cell phone immediately. Are there alternatives to a body lift? During your initial consultation, we listen to your body goals and present you with a range of cosmetic procedures that might be right for you. We will give you a thorough understanding of your options that might include liposuction , Lunchtime Lipo, tummy tuck surgery , thigh lift surgery , arm lift surgery , breast reduction surgery , facelift and neck lift surgery , or other body and facial procedures . Are my body lift results permanent? Body lifts yield drastic skin reduction results that are long lasting. As the body naturally ages, some skin elasticity will be lost. However, maintaining a consistent weight will preserve your body lift results indefinitely. This can be done by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Additional pregnancies can negate the quality of results, and it is usually recommended to wait on the surgery until you are finished having children. Frequently Asked Questions
- Male Tummy Tuck | New Look New Life
A firm and toned midsection helps to convey a fit appearance in men. Unfortunately, even the healthiest diet and exercise regimen isn’t always enough to achieve a svelte figure or physique, especially after dramatic weight loss.

Our team is committed to helping you reach your cosmetic goals safely and will follow your progress from your pre-op appointment to your final post-op visit. What Are the Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery? Tummy tuck surgery is performed on patients to: Create smooth abdominal contours Eliminate the “lower belly pooch” Correct diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis muscles) Tighten loose, sagging skin Are You the Right Candidate for a Tummy Tuck? Anyone who is self-conscious or embarrassed by signs of aging, visible veins, or spots on their hands may benefit from a personalized hand rejuvenation procedure at New Look New Life. Our team of trained doctors and cosmetic surgeons will carefully look at your hands and listen to your expectations to create a unique treatment plan for you. What Happens During a Tummy Tuck Consultation? A consultation with one of our highly skilled cosmetic surgeons is required before your tummy tuck surgery to determine if you are a candidate. During your consultation, the surgeon will: Review your medical history Examine your abdomen, waist, and skin condition Discuss your concerns and expectations for the procedure Take measurements and photos Explain all your surgical options Recommend the techniques that will provide the best results Develop a surgical plan tailored to help you reach your cosmetic goals If you want a tummy tuck, contact New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts at (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Tummy Tuck? The techniques used during your tummy tuck are individualized based on the condition of your abdominal skin and muscles. In a full or traditional tummy tuck, an incision is made across the abdomen above the groin to access excess fat and repair loose musculature. The skin is trimmed and tightened to provide a smoother abdominal contour, and the incision is sutured closed. Mini and extended tummy tucks will require a shorter or longer incision, and one of these options may be right for you. What Is a Full Tummy Tuck? The full tummy tuck, or traditional tummy tuck, is performed under general anesthesia. The incision is made along the lower abdomen and extends from hip to hip. This incision is made at the bikini line so patients can hide the incision and resulting scar when wearing bathing suits or crop tops. Another incision may be made around the navel if belly button contouring is necessary or the abdominal muscles must be repositioned. What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck? The mini tummy tuck is an excellent alternative for patients with smaller amounts of excess skin and fat. This technique focuses on the lower abdomen—the area beneath the belly button. The mini tummy tuck is performed under local anesthesia. The incision is made along the lower abdomen, and excess skin is trimmed. This incision is much shorter than the incision used in a full tummy tuck, and the mini tummy tuck does not allow for recontouring of the belly button. Liposuction may be included to remove deposits of fat under the skin. The lower abdomen area often experiences laxity and can form an unsightly pouch, which is best addressed with this technique. Additional tummy tuck methods may be performed for qualifying patients, such as the extended tummy tuck, the circumferential tummy tuck, or umbilicoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini & Dr. Kim will discuss all of your surgical options. Can Liposuction Be Performed Instead of a Tummy Tuck? Liposuction may be an alternative to a tummy tuck for patients who only have localized fat pockets within the abdomen. Since liposuction does not remove excess skin, it is not an ideal option for patients with moderate to significant skin laxity. Liposuction will also not tighten or repair abdominal muscles. Abdominal liposuction involves small incisions in the treatment area and uses a hollow tube (cannula) to suction away fat cells. Patients with stubborn pockets of fat and excess skin may benefit from a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty. These techniques may be performed simultaneously or separately, depending on your specific circumstances. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Arts, your safety is our number one concern. Combined procedures are preferred for healthy, qualifying patients to reduce procedure time, risk, and recovery time. What Will My Tummy Tuck Recovery Be Like? Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and you can return home soon after the anesthesia wears off. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours to help with cleaning, cooking, and childcare. Your incision will be covered with a gauze dressing, and your abdomen will be wrapped in a compression garment to facilitate healing by protecting the incision, reducing swelling, and encouraging optimal blood circulation. Most patients return to their normal daily activities, including work, within one to two weeks, but strenuous exercise and labor should be avoided for at least six weeks. Patients who undergo a mini tummy tuck will have a shorter recovery period., with most mini tummy tuck patients returning to work within one week. Extended tummy tuck patients can expect downtime to last a few days to a week more. Your surgeon will provide you with their cell phone number so you can reach them anytime during your recovery. Is a Tummy Tuck Painful? Depending on your tummy tuck procedure, a general or local anesthetic will be administered so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery. During your recovery, you can expect to experience some bruising, swelling, tightness, and abdominal discomfort. You will be given a prescription for pain relief; however, you may use over-the-counter pain medication instead. Most of the discomfort will subside within a few days, but sneezing, coughing, and laughing may elicit twinges of pain. Cover the incision with a pillow whenever you feel one of these is coming on to lessen this response. Remember to plan for your recovery period with as much pampering as possible to avoid putting stress on the incisions, especially immediately after the surgery. Have extra support pillows, a remote near your bed, and a fridge stocked with healthy meals and snacks that require little to no preparation. It is imperative to have adequate hydration. Will My Tummy Tuck Leave Scars? Your tummy tuck will result in a scar that matches the length of your incision, though our skilled surgeons utilize techniques to help make the scars fade nicely. They also place incisions low on the abdomen so the scars are easily concealed under clothing and bathing suits. Strategies to help minimize the visibility of scars include keeping the healing incision out of the sun, applying scar creams or silicone strips, and not rushing your recovery. Overexertion too early can result in a prolonged recovery period and the splitting of the incision—which will worsen the scar. What Does a Tummy Tuck Cost in New York? There are multiple variations of the tummy tuck, and the total cost of your procedure will vary depending on the technique and the extent of the correction needed. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts, our full tummy tuck starts at $8,500, and our mini tummy tuck begins at $5,000. These amounts may vary once anesthesia, facility fees, pre-surgical tests, and follow-up appointments are included. Since tummy tuck surgery is elective, insurance does not cover the cost. However, we offer financing options through CareCredit® . What should I do to prepare for my tummy tuck? If you have a high body mass index (BMI), you should lose as much weight as possible before surgery. You will be asked to stop smoking and avoid taking blood-thinning medications or herbal supplements for at least two weeks, as using these substances may increase your risk of serious complications, including heart attack and stroke. Before your tummy tuck, you should fill any prescriptions and establish a comfortable space to recover. Arrange for assistance during your recovery time so that your focus can be on relaxing and getting fully healthy again. What are the risks associated with tummy tuck surgery? Our surgeons at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts have years of experience performing body contouring procedures. They understand the intricacies and difficulties associated with a tummy tuck and can navigate them to ensure your surgery is safe and effective. Even though complications are rare, this is an invasive surgical procedure, and complications are possible. These potential complications include: Harmful interactions with the anesthesia Bleeding/Hematoma Infection Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) Seroma Prolonged wound healing What is diastasis recti? Diastasis recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis muscle (the “abs”) that results in a “pooched” abdominal appearance. While this can occur in men, it is much more common in women following pregnancy and childbirth. During pregnancy, abdominal muscles expand to allow room for your growing uterus. This pressure can cause the muscles to separate, and separated muscles cannot repair themselves. Surgery is the only way to correct diastasis recti. Treatment of this condition is also a primary reason why the best candidates for a tummy tuck surgery include those who do not intend to have more children. Will I lose weight after a tummy tuck? Tummy tuck surgery differs from weight loss surgery (such as gastric bypass). A vital benefit of the procedure is that it will effectively eliminate localized fat pockets and excess skin to make weight loss look good. However, patients will not see a significant reduction on the scale. It is crucial to understand that tummy tuck surgery is best performed on patients who are close to their ideal weight and have already tried to lose excess through a healthy diet and exercise. When will I see my tummy tuck results? You will start to see the benefits of your tummy tuck immediately following your surgery; however, bruising and swelling may obstruct the full extent of your surgical results. It can take several weeks or even months for the residual swelling to subside, especially if your customized surgery involves multiple areas or procedures. Even before the final results, you will notice a flatter stomach and a difference in how your clothes fit. Will my tummy tuck results be permanent? Tummy tuck surgery provides long-lasting results, but you can still gain additional weight or experience skin laxity if you experience a subsequent pregnancy or do not maintain a stable weight. A healthy lifestyle is the best way to maintain your tummy tuck results. Make sure your surgeon approves a timeline of return to exercise. Begin with gentle movements like walking and wait until you are cleared for more strenuous activities like high-intensity cardio workouts or abdominal exercises. Make sure your doctor approves before embarking on a weightlifting regimen as well. Once you are given the green light, do all you can to keep up your new appearance. Frequently Asked Questions

At New Look New Life, we take pride in making our patients look and feel the way they’ve always wanted. What Are the Benefits of Pec Implants? The benefits of pec implants are both physical and psychological. Men who’ve had pectoral implants have the chiseled chest aesthetic that so many men desire for themselves (and so many women desire to touch). And with the improved chest definition comes a boost in confidence. No longer will men have to worry about hiding their undefined chests. Am I a Candidate for Pec Implants? Candidates for pec implants are unhappy or embarrassed with their lack of pectoral muscle definition. Additionally, pectoral implants can help men who suffer from underdeveloped pectoral muscles, whether from birth or injury. Ideal candidates are non-smoking men, who are in good general health and have realistic expectations for their results. What Is Discussed During My Pec Implant Consultation? At your consultation, your surgeon at New Look New Life will listen to your frustrations about your current chest aesthetic as well as your goals for the procedure. You and your surgeon will choose the pec implant size and shape that works best for you, and you will be given pre- and post-surgical instructions. If you think you may be a candidate for pec implant surgery, contact New Look New Life Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Pec Implant Surgery? Pec implant surgery allows men to gain the toned definition in their chests that they may not be able to get with diet and exercise alone. This surgery often takes one to one-and-a-half hours to complete. Where Are Pec Implant Incisions Made? During the surgery, the incisions for pec implants are made in the armpit, where the two pectoralis muscles (major and minor) meet. What Is the Implant Made Of? While women undergoing breast implants have the choice of silicone or saline implants, a solid silicone material is used for male pectoral implants. Unlike female implants, which are soft, the male’s solid silicone replicates the toned feel of natural pectoral muscles. Will Liposuction Be Used for My Pec Implant Surgery? Liposuction is sometimes used during pec implant surgery if the patient has stubborn fat in his chest. The liposuction removes the fat before the implant is placed, allowing for an even more dynamic result. What Other Procedures Can I Combine With My Pec Implants? There are quite a few procedures that can be combined with pec implant surgery to enhance masculine contour. These procedures include: Tummy tuck surgery Arm lift surgery Body lift surgery Thigh lift surgery What Will My Pec Implant Recovery Be Like? It generally takes up to six weeks to recover from pectoral implant surgery. In the days following the procedure, you will have swelling and bruising, and you will likely be sore. Medication can be taken to alleviate any pain. These side effects will dissipate over your first week of recovery. Most men can return to non-strenuous work after two to three days; however, it is important that you avoid any heavy lifting or other strenuous activity while you heal. The surgeons at New Look New Life provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during their recovery. Is Pec Implant Surgery Painful? Before your surgery, you will be given an anesthetic, so you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. After the surgery, you will most likely have some pain, but this can be lessened with medication. Will There Be Scars? Like any surgery, having pec implants put in requires an incision, and with any incision, there will be scarring. However, due to the placement of the incisions (in the armpits), these scars will not be visible. How Much Do Pec Implants Cost in New York? Pec implant cost varies with each patient and is dependent on numerous factors, including the size and shape of the implant and whether liposuction is needed. During your consultation at New Look New Life, you will be given an accurate cost estimate. It is important to note that we offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your pec implants in New York. When will I see my results? Though you will have some swelling in your chest and will likely be wearing a compression garment to help with recovery, your results are immediate and will continue to become more apparent over the next few weeks. What kind of anesthesia is used for the surgery? General anesthesia is used during pec implant surgery, so you can rest assured knowing that you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. What are the risks associated with pec implant surgery? Though rare, some risks associated with pec implant surgery include: Bleeding Infection Asymmetry Will I lose sensitivity after pec implant surgery? While you may lose some sensitivity in the area during your recovery, your skin sensitivity should return to normal after several weeks. Where is the implant actually placed?

However, with a healthy lifestyle, including consistent exercise and a balanced diet, your results can last even longer.

- Renuvion | New Look New Life
An innovative and non-invasive skin tightening treatment, Renuvion® has gained popularity for its ability to smooth skin while improving firmness and texture. New Look New Life offers Renuvion® in New York City for clients who desire effective, long-lasting skin tightening results without surgery. RENUVION > Our Services > Lasers > J-PLASMA IN NYC RENUVION IN NEW YORK CITY An innovative and non-invasive skin tightening treatment, Renuvion® has gained popularity for its ability to smooth skin while improving firmness and texture. New Look New Life offers Renuvion® in New York City for clients who desire effective, long-lasting skin tightening results without surgery. What Is Renuvion®? Renuvion skin tightening, also known as J-Plasma or J-Plasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Its unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma can achieve dramatic skin improvement for a refreshed, energetic look. What Are the Benefits of Renuvion®? Skin tightening – Renuvion® effectively tightens loose or sagging skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Versatility – Renuvion® treats more than one skin concern, including mild to moderate skin laxity, and can be used on the following five areas of the body: Face and neck Arms Breasts Stomach and Waist Thighs Natural-looking and long-lasting results—Renuvion® is known for producing natural-looking skin-tightening results to deliver a more youthful appearance without any tell-tale signs caused by some surgical procedures. The results of Renuvion® skin tightening are typically long-lasting. Stimulates collagen production—Radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen growth, which is essential to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, contributing to the long-term benefits of the treatment. Minimally invasive —Renuvion® is a minimally invasive procedure, which means it requires only tiny incisions. This leads to less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Shorter procedure time—Renuvion procedures are typically quicker than traditional surgical options, reducing the time spent in the operating room. Minimal downtime—Although there is some downtime associated with Renuvion, it is relatively short. Many patients can return to regular activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Am I a Candidate for Renuvion® Treatment? Renuvion® patients should not smoke as this can negatively impact the healing process and overall outcome. They should be able to comply with our team’s important pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions. Good candidates for Renuvion® treatments will also have: Mild to moderate skin sagging – Renuvion® is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and may not be the most appropriate for those with severe skin laxity. A clean bill of health – Candidates should be healthy, as certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility for the procedure. No active skin infections – Candidates should have healthy skin without active infections, severe skin conditions, or recent sunburn. Skin health can impact the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Realistic expectations and maintenance compliance – Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of their Renuvion® treatments. While it can provide noticeable skin tightening, it may not achieve the same results as a surgical facelift. While Renuvion® offers long-lasting results, skin aging is an ongoing process, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results over time. Individual experiences with Renuvion® may vary, and the best way to find out if you are a good candidate for this procedure is to schedule a consultation with one of our professional and experienced providers. What is Discussed During My Renuvion® Consultation? During your consultation, one of our fully-trained and licensed New Look New Life providers will assess your specific needs, medical history, and skin condition to determine if Renuvion® is right for you. They will also discuss the benefits, potential risks, and expected results based on your unique needs and goals. How Are Renuvion® Treatments Performed? After a local anesthetic is administered, radiofrequency energy is applied to the desired treatment area(s) with a small wand that is inserted beneath the skin. This controlled energy heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, an essential building block for healthy and youthful skin. Helium gas is added to convert the RF energy into plasma. This high-energy plasma delivers precise heat energy to the underlying tissues, causing an immediate contraction of collagen fibers resulting in noticeable skin tightening. Renuvion® typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and the number of treatment areas. What Will My Recovery Be Like After a Renuvion® Treatment? While Renuvion® generally involves a short recovery period, it may still require some downtime. Patients need to plan for this and follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for post-treatment care. Are Renuvion® Treatments Painful? Renuvion® is minimally invasive and includes local anesthesia, with patients reporting only mild discomfort. Do Renuvion® Treatments Leave Scars? Renuvion is known for its minimal scarring. However, there is still the potential for small, inconspicuous scars at the incision sites. Patients with a history of poor scarring or keloid formation should discuss this with their healthcare provider. What Do Renuvion® Treatments Cost in New York City? Renuvion® Treatments can vary widely, and the cost can be a concern for some individuals. New Look New Life can provide an individual cost quote based on your needs during your consultation. How long does it take to see Renuvion® results? You’ll be able to see tighter and firmer skin straight after completing your treatment. However, your skin will improve over the next six to nine months as more collagen is produced. How long do Renuvion® results last? With only one or two treatments needed, you can expect your results to be relatively permanent. Face and neck treatment results usually last five years or more with proper skincare. Does Renuvion® carry any risks? While Renuvion® is generally considered safe and effective, some concerns and potential risks are associated with the procedure. It’s essential for individuals considering this treatment to be aware of these concerns, and these will be thoroughly discussed before they undergo the treatment. Although rare, some risks include: Infection Changes in Skin Pigmentation Uneven Results Frequently Asked Questions

In the privacy and safety of our certified operating room, our skilled and knowledgeable board-certified cosmetic surgeons personalize each treatment to their patient, and they offer around the clock access and care so that no patient ever feels like they are alone in this process. What Areas Can Benefit From Liposuction? Liposuction is performed on women and men to reduce fat and provide a more toned appearance to the: Abdomen Hips Thighs Knees Ankles Buttocks Back Arms Neck (under chin) Am I a Candidate for Liposuction? Liposuction is often desired by men and women who struggle with stubborn areas of fat and are hoping to achieve a sculpted body contour. Ideal candidates for this procedure do not smoke, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations of their results. Liposuction is appropriate for healthy individuals who wish to tighten and improve their body contours. While this surgery can offer significant benefits to any of its candidates, the best results are often seen in patients who are close to their ideal weight. Some patients may be better suited waiting for their treatment until after they have lost some weight naturally. Approved obese patients may be required to undergo a series of carefully crafted liposuction treatments. What Is Discussed During My Liposuction Consultation? Your consultation is essential to a successful liposuction treatment. During this meeting, your surgeon will: Discuss your goals for your liposuction Take your measurements and photos Determine which areas are appropriate for fat removal Recommend combination procedures, if necessary Develop a surgical plan If you think you may be a candidate for liposuction, contact New Look New Life Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Liposuction? Liposuction is a nuanced and customizable procedure. Your surgeon at New Look New Life Surgical Arts will work closely with you to design a liposuction treatment that will safely and effectively achieve your cosmetic goals. Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that usually takes between one and one and a half hours to complete. This time allotment may be higher if there are multiple treatment areas or if your liposuction is being performed in combination with another surgical procedure. Depending on the techniques chosen, your liposuction will be performed under local or general anesthesia. In cases of general anesthesia, you will need a companion to drive you home and stay with you for 24 to 48 hours to assist with all regular activities and chores. What Is Tumescent Liposuction? Tumescent liposuction, or traditional liposuction, involves the injection of a tumescent fluid that causes the fat cells to swell and become firm. This allows the fat cells to be more easily dislodged and removed during the treatment. Once the fat cells are detached from the tissue walls, the cells are carefully suctioned out through a narrow tube (known as a cannula) that is inserted through small incisions near the treatment site. What Is Tickle Lipo? Tickle Lipo, which is also known as lunchtime liposuction or power-assisted liposuction, is a less invasive fat removal technique that can be accomplished in a shorter amount of time with only the necessity of local anesthesia. This variation of liposuction quickly eliminates fat in targeted areas, such as the stomach, thighs, hips, love handles, back, buttocks, arms, chest, ankles, and calves. Nicknamed for the tickling sensation it creates, this “lunchtime” procedure uses an oscillating (vibrating) cannula to break up the fat cells before they are removed. This step minimizes the trauma to the surrounding tissue, and as the vibrating cannula does not require heat or lasers, it allows for a nearly pain-free treatment. Patients can return to work and their day-to-day activities immediately following a Tickle Lipo treatment, and your results may start to show sooner with Tickle Lipo (as opposed to traditional liposuction). Results will continue to improve in the days following your surgery. Tickle Lipo is recommended for healthy, active individuals who wish to sculpt their already fit body further. What Is Liposuction for Men? Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for men, as it provides more sculpted masculine contours. By removing excess fat from the love handles, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and chest, liposuction enables men to achieve gym-like tone and muscle definition while only taking them out of their usual routines for one short week. This safe and effective procedure allows men to reach their desired body shape without the stress or hassle of sweating it out at the gym. Our surgeons at New Look New Life are well-versed in the nuances between the male and female physique and understand how liposuction must be adapted for a male patient. Even though liposuction is performed with the same steps, the areas and the volume of fat will alter depending on the patient’s gender. Should I Combine My Liposuction With Another Body Contouring Procedure? Liposuction often provides significant benefit as a standalone procedure; however, as this surgery does not address skin or muscle laxity, it may need to be performed with an additional body contouring procedure. While the optimal surgical combination will vary depending on your specific needs, you can choose to combine liposuction with a tummy tuck surgery , thigh lift surgery , arm lift surgery , or breast augmentation surgery . Alternatively, patients who undergo liposuction may choose to use the harvested fat to add volume and shape to the buttocks. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that requires the use of liposuctioned fat to enhance the natural curves of your derrière. At New Look New Life Surgical Arts, your surgical procedures may be combined as long as you are healthy enough to withstand such an invasive treatment. This will be discussed during your consultation with your New Look New Life cosmetic surgeon. What Will My Liposuction Recovery Be Like? Following your liposuction surgery, your incisions will be covered with small bandages, and your treatment areas may be wrapped with compression garments. These garments will help reduce any post-operative swelling by promoting blood circulation. Patients who undergo Tickle Lipo can return to work and their regular day-to-day routines soon after their treatment. Patients who undergo traditional liposuction may require a few additional days to recover before returning to their normal schedules. Regardless, all liposuction patients should refrain from all strenuous activity for at least seven to 10 days. Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini and Dr. Kim provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during the recovery. Is Liposuction Painful? Liposuction is performed under anesthesia to prevent any pain during or immediately following the procedure. Bruising and swelling are common following a liposuction treatment, which may contribute to some post-surgical discomfort. Any pain or discomfort can be alleviated with prescribed pain medication or an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as TYLENOL®. Will My Liposuction Leave Scars? Your liposuction treatment requires small incisions to be made in the treatment area through which a cannula suctions out unwanted fat. While these incisions are small, they may result in post-surgical scarring. These scars are usually placed in indiscreet places—such as in the natural creases of the body—and are nearly undetectable once they have healed. Any resulting scars will fade with time and can be minimized further with silicone strips and topical scar creams. What Does Liposuction Cost in New York? Your liposuction treatment will be personalized to you depending on your physical needs and aesthetic desires. This customization will impact the overall cost of your liposuction treatment. At New Look New Life Surgical Arts, a Tickle Lipo treatment starts at $3,500, and a traditional liposuction treatment starts at $5,000. This amount may fluctuate significantly depending on the extent of fat removal, the number of treatment areas, combined surgical procedures, and external costs such as surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, facility fees, compression garments, and your follow-up appointments. You will be given an accurate price estimate during your consultation with New Look New Life Surgical Arts. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your body contouring in New York. How should I prepare for my liposuction treatment? You will be required to stop all tobacco use for at least two weeks before and after your surgery. Smoking inhibits blood flow, which can increase your chances of complications during your liposuction treatment. You will also be asked to stop any blood-thinning medication or herbal supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and NSAIDs. Your surgeon at New Look New Life will provide you with a thorough list of preparation and recovery guidelines. How much fat will be removed during liposuction at one time? The answer to this question varies significantly depending on your age, health, and BMI. Traditionally, the maximum amount of fat removed during a single liposuction treatment is five liters, which correlates to roughly 10 to 12 pounds—or one dress size. While this amount of fat removal may be safe and appropriate for some individuals, it may not be safe for you. You should discuss your options with your surgeon at New Look New Life Surgical Arts during your consultation. You can undergo carefully planned, repeated liposuction treatments. These repeated treatments should only be performed by a reputable and knowledgeable cosmetic surgeon. Why is liposuction not always an alternative to a tummy tuck? Liposuction is commonly performed on the stomach to reduce the appearance of lower belly pooches or protruding abdomens. Even though abdominal liposuction addresses the same region as a tummy tuck , they are not interchangeable procedures. What are the risks associated with liposuction? Even though it is a surgical procedure, liposuction is very safe when performed by a skilled board-certified cosmetic surgeon such as those at New Look New Life Surgical Arts. Complications are uncommon; however, they are possible. Some of these risks include: Adverse reactions to the local or general anesthesia Infection Bleeding/hematoma Blood clots Prolonged healing Skin irregularities You can reduce your chances of complications by following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. Will the fat return in other places after my liposuction treatment? There is a common misconception that fat is moved from one area of the body to another during a liposuction treatment. This is not true. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells, leaving a reduced number of cells in the treatment area. In cases of weight gain following a liposuction treatment, the fat will first develop in places with a higher concentration of fat cells, which is likely not the treatment area. Fat can develop anywhere on the body at any time if a healthy lifestyle is not adhered to. When you gain weight, you are not developing new fat cells. Instead, your existing fat cells are growing in size. This is why it is less likely to regain fat in your liposuction treatment area.

If necessary, liposuction will be performed to extract excess fat from the area. At the same time, your surgeon will address the excess hanging skin to create a lifting effect.

You will want to rest at home while the temporary pain and discomfort pass. Those who work at a desk will be able to return to the office one week after surgery. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise will be limited for longer. Is Arm Lift Surgery Painful? Since your brachioplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort during your recovery can be managed with over-the-counter or prescription medication. Will My Arm Lift Leave Scars? Since incisions are made during an arm lift, scarring is inevitable. However, our surgeons try to place incisions in inconspicuous locations. Brachioplasty scars will fade with time. What Does an Arm Lift Cost in New York? At New Look New Life, brachioplasty surgery starts as low as $9000, and you will be given a detailed quote during your consultation.

If you are a gastric bypass patient, you will be given additional nutrition and supplement counseling to prepare your body for surgery and recovery. As the procedure is done under general anesthesia, you should not eat or drink the morning of your arm lift. Patients who choose arm lift surgery will see a drastic improvement in the size of their arms; however, it is important to understand that a scar will remain. Despite skill and precision, constant arm movement prevents the body from scar-free healing in this area. For many patients, the increased confidence makes this a worthwhile trade-off. During your consultation, we can draw the intended incision on your arm, allowing you to return home and consider how you feel about the inevitable scar. How long will my arm lift results last? Your arm lift results are long lasting, provided you maintain an appropriate fitness level and a healthy diet. Skin elasticity weakens due to the natural aging process, and you may notice slight loosening in the arms over many years. What are the risks of an arm lift? When performed by an experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, brachioplasty is generally safe with little risk of complications. However, all cosmetic procedures come with risks. These risks include: Infection Bleeding Poor scarring Nerve compression Sensory loss Anesthesia complications How long does an arm lift take to perform?

Pain medication can be taken to lessen any discomfort in the days after your procedure. Will My Surgery Leave Scars?

MALE HAIR RESTORATION > Our Services > Male Surgeries > A NEW HAIRLINE MALE HAIR RESTORATION IN NEW YORK CITY Losing hair can devastate anyone, men tend to have more extensive hair restoration needs. They typically require longer treatment and recovery times, as well as additional potential discomfort. The good news is that advancements in hair transplant methods allow men to achieve a full head of hair that looks and feels like their real hair with less hassle than ever before! New Look New Life Surgical Arts is pleased to offer the revolutionary Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) NO SCAR hair transplant system. Get A Quote What Is NeoGraft® Automated Hair Restoration for Men? Our detail-oriented surgeons are committed to meeting the unique hair replacement needs of each patient. The NeoGraft® hair transplant system uses follicular unit extraction (FUE), an advanced hair restoration method. With the older strip technique, the physician used a scalpel to take strips of hair follicles from the donor area and then closed the incision with stitches. Although this approach is quicker, it is more invasive, and the strips still need to be processed before being implanted, which is time-consuming. Alternatively, NeoGraft® offers a less invasive approach in which individual hair follicles are removed and implanted (no need for the strip method). What Are the Benefits of NeoGraft® for Men? Experimenting with different hairstyles only camouflages hair loss issues for so long before hats, over-the-counter creams, and even hairpieces find their way into your daily life. The NeoGraft® automated hair restoration system offers many advantages for men, some of which include the following: Faster results Meticulous precision Less invasive, comfortable experience No stitches required As little as a 24-hour recovery period No linear scar (typical with strip method hair restoration) With NeoGraft®, your new transplanted hair keeps growing long after the treatment. Learn more about this permanent hair regrowth solution by scheduling a consultation with one of our highly skilled New York City cosmetic surgeons. Am I A Candidate for the NeoGraft® Hair-Transplantation System? It’s important to understand that the extent of hair that can be transplanted to balding areas of the scalp depends on how much healthy donor hair you have. This hair is typically located on the back of your head. The best way to determine if a permanent automated hair transplantation option like NeoGraft® is right for you is by scheduling a consultation with our providers at New Look New Life in New York City. What Is Discussed During My Hair Restoration Consultation? During your initial consultation, our experienced cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your scalp, review your medical history, and discuss your concerns about hair loss. If they determine that you are a good candidate for automated hair restoration, our surgeon will provide a customized treatment plan for you to approve. Are you considering hair transplantation? Call our Manhattan or Westchester New Look New Life Surgical Arts at (212)-830-6830 to learn more. How Does Automated Hair Restoration Work? NeoGraft® Hair Transplants in 5 Steps With the NeoGraft® FUE method, the hair grafts are ready to be implanted immediately and involve five simple steps: The donor area of the scalp is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. The hair follicles are removed precisely and collected in a special receptacle. The target area is cleaned and anesthetized. The surgeon creates a predetermined pattern of tiny grafting holes or slits throughout the treatment zone. Each of the healthy follicles (grafts) is meticulously placed into these openings. What Will My NeoGraft® Recovery Be Like? NeoGraft® is less invasive than other hair restoration methods and typically involves only one day of downtime. You should be able to return to normal activities or work the day after your treatment. Is Hair Restoration Painful? Local anesthesia is used for hair transplantations, so you will not feel pain during treatment. Does NeoGraft® Leave Scars? Unlike the strip method, NeoGraft® follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique leaves no scars. What Does NeoGraft® Hair Restoration Cost in New York? The cost of hair restoration with NeoGraft® in New York varies among patients depending on their goals and the hair coverage they need. The price of your NeoGraft® procedure will be discussed during your consultation at New Look New Life. While you may spend more on haircuts, most NeoGraft® restoration patients are happy to pay. How should I prepare for NeoGraft®? Other than discontinuing aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamins, and supplements one week before your treatment, you may want to grow your hair prior to your NeoGraft® procedure so the donor area will be hidden by surrounding hair. However, some men get a short buzz cut before their procedure so their hair grows back evenly. Be sure to follow all instructions our surgeon provides. How long does hair restoration with NeoGraft® take? Hair transplantation sessions can be lengthy, but NeoGraft® takes less time on average. Still, depending on your hair loss, your treatment may last from three to eight hours. At New Look New Life, we offer a relaxing environment to rest, read, scroll, or watch television during your NeoGraft® procedure. Does NeoGraft® hair restoration hurt? Older hair restoration methods were known to be painful. However, NeoGraft® is designed to be far less invasive to minimize pain and downtime. You can even return to work the following day. What are the risks associated with NeoGraft® hair restoration? When receiving your NeoGraft® treatment from a qualified cosmetic surgeon, the risk of complications is low. What Happens After a NeoGraft® Procedure? After yourNeoGraft®hair restoration treatment, you’ll need to wear a bandage on your scalp for a few days. You may be prescribed an anti-inflammatory or antibiotic to minimize postoperative inflammation and prevent infection. Your scalp may be sensitive for up to a week following your procedure, but over-the-counter and prescribed pain medications can help manage any discomfort. When will I see my hair restoration results? Early results begin to show around six to eight months following your procedure. You should see more dramatic results within a year, although hair loss may continue on other areas of your scalp as you age. Frequently Asked Questions
- Gynecomastia Surgery NYC | New Look New Life
Gynecomastia is the overdevelopment of male breast tissue. Gynecomastia surgery is a simple fix for this condition. Book your gynecomastia surgery in NYC. GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY > Our Services > Male Surgeries > GYNECOMASTIA GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY IN NEW YORK CITY Most men do not consider the likelihood that they will develop enlarged breasts; however, this is something that affects as much as 60 percent of men. Gynecomastia is characterized by the overdevelopment of male breast tissue and fat. While this condition has a simple surgical fix, many men who suffer from this are too embarrassed to seek treatment. Instead of suffering the emotional and physical discomfort stemming from this condition, you can consider gynecomastia surgery. This procedure removes the presence of excess breast tissue and adipose tissue (fat) that contribute to a male breast; which results is a stronger, more masculine chest appearance. Get A Quote Why should I choose New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts? The surgeons at New Look New Life are dedicated to providing you with safe, results-driven transformations. Our surgeons customize your gynecomastia surgery to your specific needs and are there for you throughout your male breast reduction process. What Causes Gynecomastia? Gynecomastia can affect men of all ages and can develop in response to many different situations. Some of these causes include: Genetics Hormonal changes Certain medications for prostate cancer, heart disease, HIV, or high blood pressure Anabolic steroids Drug use Obesity Am I a Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery? Gynecomastia can cause significant self-esteem issues in men who cannot remove enlarged breasts naturally. Candidates for male breast reduction identify with this insecurity and desire to correct it through surgical means. Ideal candidates do not smoke, are in good overall health and close to their goal weight, and have realistic expectations of their results. What Is Discussed During My Gynecomastia Surgery Consultation? Your consultation is critical to the success of your gynecomastia surgery. During your meeting, your surgeon will: Discuss your goals for the procedure Take your measurements and photos Determine the cause of your gynecomastia Explain your surgical options Develop a treatment plan If you think you may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery, contact New Look New Life Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Gynecomastia Surgery? Your gynecomastia procedure will be tailored to address your specific concerns. Breast reduction for men is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately an hour to an hour and a half. Gynecomastia surgery requires the use of local or general anesthesia, and you should arrange for transportation to and from the surgery center. Will I Need Liposuction on My Chest? Men suffering from pseudogynecomastia (excess breast fat) benefit the most from using liposuction surgery to remove the excess fat. Men who qualify for liposuction alone do not have excess breast tissue or skin laxity on the chest. During your liposuction treatment, your surgeon at New Look New Life will make a tiny incision on each side of the chest. These incisions are nearly invisible once they have healed. The excess fat is removed via a vacuuming device attached to a thin cannula. Will I Need Tissue Excision on My Chest? If the cause of gynecomastia is excess tissue or loose skin, a more extensive tissue removal procedure is required. Incisions will be made around the areola (the darker region surrounding the nipple) to conceal the resulting scar. Excess tissue is physically removed, and loose skin is trimmed to reveal tighter and more sculpted pecs. What if I Have Excess Tissue and Excess Fat? Many men who are suffering from gynecomastia have both excess fat and tissue in the chest. These men would benefit most from a combination of liposuction and tissue excision. Should I Combine My Gynecomastia Surgery With Another Body Contouring Procedure? Male breast reduction is a unique, targeted procedure that is typically performed alone. However, men with excess pockets of fat around the chest area may benefit from liposuction in the neighboring regions. Alternatively, men who desire more definition in their chest may opt for pectoral enhancement with implants . How Long Is the Recovery From Gynecomastia Surgery? The extent of your recovery period will vary slightly depending on the surgical techniques that were used. Regardless, men can expect to develop some bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the chest region. Their chest will be wrapped in a compression garment (male vest) to control swelling and pain by promoting blood circulation. Most men undergoing liposuction only can return to work the following day or within a day or two. Men who undergo tissue excision may require a few additional days. You will be required to avoid all strenuous exercise for at least seven to 10 days following the treatment. Heavy lifting should be avoided for four to six weeks. Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini and Dr. Kim provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during the recovery. Is Gynecomastia Surgery Painful? Gynecomastia surgery is performed with anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Unfortunately, some discomfort may develop in the hours and days following the surgery. Prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication can remedy any discomfort that is experienced during this time. Most men find that their pain has dissipated within a few days. Will My Gynecomastia Surgery Leave Scars? All surgical procedures will result in some degree of scarring; however, the extent of this scarring will depend on the gynecomastia surgery techniques that were performed. Liposuction incisions are very small; therefore, the resulting scars will be nearly undetectable once the incisions have healed. The excision method will result in a higher degree of scarring, but the darker skin of the areola camouflages the scars. You can reduce the visibility of your scars by keeping the healing incisions out of the sun, applying silicone strips or topical scar creams, and avoiding any strenuous movement to the chest—such as lifting weights or doing push-ups. What Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in New York? Your male breast reduction surgery will be tailored to you based on your physical needs. At New Look New Life Surgical Arts, the cost of gynecomastia surgery starts at $4,500, but this amount may vary once all of the required techniques, surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, facility fees, post-surgical garments, and follow-up visits are factored in. We will provide you with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation, and we offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your male breast reduction surgery in New York. How should I prepare for my gynecomastia surgery? Regardless of your degree of gynecomastia, your surgery will be performed under local or general anesthesia. Because of this, smoking and the use of all blood-thinning medications and NSAIDs are prohibited for at least 10 to 14 days before and after the surgery. Patients should arrange to have a family member or friend drive them to and from the surgery and stay with them for the first 24 to 48 hours of their recovery to help with all normal activities. What are the risks associated with gynecomastia surgery? Male breast reduction is extremely safe when performed by a skilled surgeon, such as your surgeon at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts. Unfortunately, as with any surgical procedure, rare complications can occur. These include: Harmful interactions with the anesthesia Bleeding Seroma Infection Blood clots Poor scarring Chest asymmetry How can steroid use contribute to gynecomastia? Men may be surprised to hear that the very same anabolic steroids they are taking to build masculine muscle actually create a spike in estrogen levels (the female hormone). If steroid levels become too high in the body, it can cause an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen, generating the development of excess adipose breast tissue. Can my gynecomastia fix itself? Some men who develop gynecomastia during adolescence discover that their gynecomastia rectifies itself as they enter adulthood. This is because their gynecomastia was due to a hormonal imbalance that corrected itself. While this correction is possible, it is not always probable. Most men who suffer from the presence of excess adipose tissue discover that surgery is their only option. How can I tell if I need liposuction or excision? Liposuction is appropriate if the cause of your gynecomastia is excess fat. Liposuction cannot remove excess skin or glandular (breast) tissue. Your surgeon at New Look New Life Surgical Arts will recommend the best techniques during your consultation. When will I see my gynecomastia surgery results? Because gynecomastia surgery physically removes excess tissue or fat, you will start to see your results immediately following your treatment. However, as there will be moderate to significant bruising and swelling following your surgery, it may take weeks or months for the full extent of your results to develop. Once the results fully form, men are astounded by their slimmer, more defined chest and the effect that the firmness has on their self-image. Can gynecomastia return after gynecomastia surgery? The results of your gynecomastia surgery can be permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. While this condition will likely not reappear on its own, it can recur if there is significant weight gain or if you begin steroid or drug use. Since some men’s gynecomastia is intertwined with their hormones, there is a chance that gynecomastia can return with age due to the shifting hormones. Any changes in your chest can be addressed with additional liposuction or skin excision treatment.

- Tummy Tuck NYC | New Look New Life
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can tighten sagging skin, remove stubborn fat, and repair loose abdominal muscles. Learn about tummy tuck surgery in NYC. TUMMY TUCK > Our Services > Body Surgeries > TUMMY TUCK TUMMY TUCK IN NEW YORK CITY A firm and toned midsection helps to convey a fit appearance in women. Unfortunately, even the healthiest diet and exercise regimen isn’t always enough to achieve a svelte figure or physique, especially after pregnancy or dramatic weight loss. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can tighten sagging skin, remove stubborn fat, and repair loose abdominal muscles after childbirth, weight fluctuations, or aging. Get A Quote Why should I choose New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts? New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts offers personalized care rather than the cookie-cutter approach often provided by other cosmetic surgeons. Our board-certified doctors customize every aspect of your cosmetic surgery and are available every step of the way. Our team is committed to helping you reach your cosmetic goals safely and will follow your progress from your pre-op appointment to your final post-op visit. What Are the Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery? Tummy tuck surgery is performed on patients to: Create smooth abdominal contours Eliminate the “lower belly pooch” Correct diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis muscles) Tighten loose, sagging skin Are You the Right Candidate for a Tummy Tuck? Anyone who is self-conscious or embarrassed by signs of aging, visible veins, or spots on their hands may benefit from a personalized hand rejuvenation procedure at New Look New Life. Our team of trained doctors and cosmetic surgeons will carefully look at your hands and listen to your expectations to create a unique treatment plan for you. What Happens During a Tummy Tuck Consultation? A consultation with one of our highly skilled cosmetic surgeons is required before your tummy tuck surgery to determine if you are a candidate. During your consultation, the surgeon will: Review your medical history Examine your abdomen, waist, and skin condition Discuss your concerns and expectations for the procedure Take measurements and photos Explain all your surgical options Recommend the techniques that will provide the best results Develop a surgical plan tailored to help you reach your cosmetic goals If you want a tummy tuck, contact New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts at (212)-830-6830 . How Can I Personalize My Tummy Tuck? The techniques used during your tummy tuck are individualized based on the condition of your abdominal skin and muscles. In a full or traditional tummy tuck, an incision is made across the abdomen above the groin to access excess fat and repair loose musculature. The skin is trimmed and tightened to provide a smoother abdominal contour, and the incision is sutured closed. Mini and extended tummy tucks will require a shorter or longer incision, and one of these options may be right for you. What Is a Full Tummy Tuck? The full tummy tuck, or traditional tummy tuck, is performed under general anesthesia. The incision is made along the lower abdomen and extends from hip to hip. This incision is made at the bikini line so patients can hide the incision and resulting scar when wearing bathing suits or crop tops. Another incision may be made around the navel if belly button contouring is necessary or the abdominal muscles must be repositioned. What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck? The mini tummy tuck is an excellent alternative for patients with smaller amounts of excess skin and fat. This technique focuses on the lower abdomen—the area beneath the belly button. The mini tummy tuck is performed under local anesthesia. The incision is made along the lower abdomen, and excess skin is trimmed. This incision is much shorter than the incision used in a full tummy tuck, and the mini tummy tuck does not allow for recontouring of the belly button. Liposuction may be included to remove deposits of fat under the skin. The lower abdomen area often experiences laxity and can form an unsightly pouch, which is best addressed with this technique. Additional tummy tuck methods may be performed for qualifying patients, such as the extended tummy tuck, the circumferential tummy tuck, or umbilicoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini & Dr. Kim will discuss all of your surgical options. Can Liposuction Be Performed Instead of a Tummy Tuck? Liposuction may be an alternative to a tummy tuck for patients who only have localized fat pockets within the abdomen. Since liposuction does not remove excess skin, it is not an ideal option for patients with moderate to significant skin laxity. Liposuction will also not tighten or repair abdominal muscles. Abdominal liposuction involves small incisions in the treatment area and uses a hollow tube (cannula) to suction away fat cells. Patients with stubborn pockets of fat and excess skin may benefit from a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty. These techniques may be performed simultaneously or separately, depending on your specific circumstances. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Arts, your safety is our number one concern. Combined procedures are preferred for healthy, qualifying patients to reduce procedure time, risk, and recovery time. What Will My Tummy Tuck Recovery Be Like? Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and you can return home soon after the anesthesia wears off. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours to help with cleaning, cooking, and childcare. Your incision will be covered with a gauze dressing, and your abdomen will be wrapped in a compression garment to facilitate healing by protecting the incision, reducing swelling, and encouraging optimal blood circulation. Most patients return to their normal daily activities, including work, within one to two weeks, but strenuous exercise and labor should be avoided for at least six weeks. Patients who undergo a mini tummy tuck will have a shorter recovery period., with most mini tummy tuck patients returning to work within one week. Extended tummy tuck patients can expect downtime to last a few days to a week more. Your surgeon will provide you with their cell phone number so you can reach them anytime during your recovery. Is a Tummy Tuck Painful? Depending on your tummy tuck procedure, a general or local anesthetic will be administered so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery. During your recovery, you can expect to experience some bruising, swelling, tightness, and abdominal discomfort. You will be given a prescription for pain relief; however, you may use over-the-counter pain medication instead. Most of the discomfort will subside within a few days, but sneezing, coughing, and laughing may elicit twinges of pain. Cover the incision with a pillow whenever you feel one of these is coming on to lessen this response. Remember to plan for your recovery period with as much pampering as possible to avoid putting stress on the incisions, especially immediately after the surgery. Have extra support pillows, a remote near your bed, and a fridge stocked with healthy meals and snacks that require little to no preparation. It is imperative to have adequate hydration. Will My Tummy Tuck Leave Scars? Your tummy tuck will result in a scar that matches the length of your incision, though our skilled surgeons utilize techniques to help make the scars fade nicely. They also place incisions low on the abdomen so the scars are easily concealed under clothing and bathing suits. Strategies to help minimize the visibility of scars include keeping the healing incision out of the sun, applying scar creams or silicone strips, and not rushing your recovery. Overexertion too early can result in a prolonged recovery period and the splitting of the incision—which will worsen the scar. What Does a Tummy Tuck Cost in New York? There are multiple variations of the tummy tuck, and the total cost of your procedure will vary depending on the technique and the extent of the correction needed. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts, our full tummy tuck starts at $8,500, and our mini tummy tuck begins at $5,000. These amounts may vary once anesthesia, facility fees, pre-surgical tests, and follow-up appointments are included. Since tummy tuck surgery is elective, insurance does not cover the cost. However, we offer financing options through CareCredit® . What should I do to prepare for my tummy tuck? If you have a high body mass index (BMI), you should lose as much weight as possible before surgery. You will be asked to stop smoking and avoid taking blood-thinning medications or herbal supplements for at least two weeks, as using these substances may increase your risk of serious complications, including heart attack and stroke. Before your tummy tuck, you should fill any prescriptions and establish a comfortable space to recover. Arrange for assistance during your recovery time so that your focus can be on relaxing and getting fully healthy again. What are the risks associated with tummy tuck surgery? Our surgeons at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts have years of experience performing body contouring procedures. They understand the intricacies and difficulties associated with a tummy tuck and can navigate them to ensure your surgery is safe and effective. Even though complications are rare, this is an invasive surgical procedure, and complications are possible. These potential complications include: Harmful interactions with the anesthesia Bleeding/Hematoma Infection Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) Seroma Prolonged wound healing What is diastasis recti? Diastasis recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis muscle (the “abs”) that results in a “pooched” abdominal appearance. While this can occur in men, it is much more common in women following pregnancy and childbirth. During pregnancy, abdominal muscles expand to allow room for your growing uterus. This pressure can cause the muscles to separate, and separated muscles cannot repair themselves. Surgery is the only way to correct diastasis recti. Treatment of this condition is also a primary reason why the best candidates for a tummy tuck surgery include those who do not intend to have more children. Will I lose weight after a tummy tuck? Tummy tuck surgery differs from weight loss surgery (such as gastric bypass). A vital benefit of the procedure is that it will effectively eliminate localized fat pockets and excess skin to make weight loss look good. However, patients will not see a significant reduction on the scale. It is crucial to understand that tummy tuck surgery is best performed on patients who are close to their ideal weight and have already tried to lose excess through a healthy diet and exercise. When will I see my tummy tuck results? You will start to see the benefits of your tummy tuck immediately following your surgery; however, bruising and swelling may obstruct the full extent of your surgical results. It can take several weeks or even months for the residual swelling to subside, especially if your customized surgery involves multiple areas or procedures. Even before the final results, you will notice a flatter stomach and a difference in how your clothes fit. Will my tummy tuck results be permanent? Tummy tuck surgery provides long-lasting results, but you can still gain additional weight or experience skin laxity if you experience a subsequent pregnancy or do not maintain a stable weight. A healthy lifestyle is the best way to maintain your tummy tuck results . Make sure your surgeon approves a timeline of return to exercise. Begin with gentle movements like walking and wait until you are cleared for more strenuous activities like high-intensity cardio workouts or abdominal exercises. Make sure your doctor approves before embarking on a weightlifting regimen as well. Once you are given the green light, do all you can to keep up your new appearance.
