  • Neck Lift | New Look New Life

    The skin on your neck ages at the same rate as the skin on your face, and unlike facial skin, it is usually neglected. Neck laxity is common among women and men and often contributes to diminished self-confidence. A neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that tightens tissues in the lower face and neck to eliminate sagging skin, vertical banding, excess submental fat (double chin), and wrinkles in the neck. The surgical experts at New Look New Life have years of experience restoring youthful and natural-looking neck contours and look forward to assisting you in achieving your desired results. NECK LIFT > Our Services > Face Surgeries > FACE SURGERIES NECK LIFT IN NEW YORK CITY The skin on your neck ages at the same rate as the skin on your face, and unlike facial skin, it is usually neglected.

Get A Quote Why should I choose New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts? New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts is dedicated to providing safe, beautiful, and natural-looking neck contouring results through customized cosmetic techniques. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons personalize your neck lift based on your desires and needs, and they are there for you throughout the process. From your pre-op consultation to after your post-op appointments, you will always have access to your surgeon. This one-on-one care places New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts far above the rest. What Are the Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery? Neck lift surgery is performed on women and men to: Reduce sagging neck skin Smooth wrinkles in the neck Lessen the appearance of jowls Minimize a double chin Maintain a natural appearance Am I a Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery? Neck lift surgery is performed to restore slimmer and more youthful-looking necks. Candidates for neck lift surgery do not smoke, are generally healthy, and have no previous medical conditions that can impair the healing process. Neck lift surgery can restore youthful, defined neck characteristics, but it cannot make you look like an entirely different person or prevent additional aging from occurring. Therefore, neck lift candidates must have realistic expectations of their results. What Is Discussed During My Neck Lift Consultation? Neck lift surgery is customized to your needs and goals, and a consultation with your surgeon at New Look New Life is essential to your surgery’s success. During this meeting, your board-certified cosmetic surgeon will: Discuss your goals for your neck lift Evaluate your skin condition Take photos Explain your surgical options Recommend any combination procedures Develop a surgical plan Your neck lift in New York will be scheduled soon after this initial consultation. If you think you may be a candidate for neck lift surgery, contact New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830. How Can I Personalize My Neck Lift Surgery? Neck lift surgery tightens neck tissues to eliminate sagging, vertical banding, and lax jawlines. This surgery is performed at one of our New York surgical centers and takes approximately two to three hours. Where Are My Neck Lift Incisions Made? Neck lift incisions are made in discreet locations where they will be easy to cover with hair or makeup. Your board-certified cosmetic surgeon will make three different incisions: one behind each ear and one beneath the chin. These incisions allow your surgeon to tighten the skin and tissues in the neck and access the chin to perform liposuction of the neck . Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is redraped and sutured for a smoother neck contour. Should I Combine My Neck Lift With a Facelift? Neck lift surgery is commonly performed alongside a facelift or a mini facelift to maintain a youthful balance between the face and neck. Because facelift surgery uses the same incisions (or similar incisions) as a neck lift, it is a natural combination procedure. Should I Combine My Neck Lift With Other Facial Procedures? While a neck lift and facelift combination addresses the lower two-thirds of the face and neck, some patients choose to combine these procedures with facial enhancement of the eyes and forehead. This is usually accomplished with a combination of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or brow lift surgery (forehead lift) . These combination procedures ensure that all of your facial features will be rejuvenated together. What Will My Neck Lift Recovery Be Like? Neck lift surgery is an outpatient surgery, and you can return home after a brief stay in our recovery suite. You will not be able to drive yourself home after your surgery. You should rest comfortably, with your head elevated, for several days following your surgery. Most neck lift patients return to work and their normal daily routines within seven to 10 days, but extensive physical activity should be avoided for at least two weeks or until cleared by your surgeon. Dr. Karlinsky and Dr. Kim provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during your recovery. Is Neck Lift Surgery Painful? Neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort during and immediately after the surgery. Bruising, swelling, tenderness, and tightness are common after neck lift surgery, as is some moderate discomfort. Any resulting pain can be alleviated with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Will My Neck Lift Leave Scars? Neck lift incisions are placed in easy-to-conceal locations behind the ears and under the chin. While scarring is expected to develop at all incision locations, this scarring is not readily visible and will fade with time. What Does Neck Lift Surgery Cost in New York? Your board-certified cosmetic surgeon at New Look New Life will tailor your neck lift to your aesthetic needs and goals. Our neck lift surgery starts at $8,000, but this figure may vary once anesthesia, facility, operating room, and surgeon’s fees are factored in. During your consultation at New Look New Life, you will be provided with an accurate cost estimate that will include these fees as well as the cost of required garments and follow-up appointments. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to help you pay for your neck lift in New York. When will I see my neck lift results? Your neck lift results will start to become visible immediately after your surgery and will continue to improve as the bruising and swelling subside and the incisions heal. Within a few weeks, you will notice a significantly thinner and more youthful neck and jawline contour that will last for years to come. How should I prepare for neck lift surgery? Neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and pre-operative precautions must be taken. Neck lift patients are required to stop smoking and taking blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least 10 to 14 days before and after the surgery. These medications include aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, and some herbal supplements. You should also arrange for a responsible friend or family member to drive you to and from the procedure and schedule adequate time away from work and your required daily obligations. What are the risks associated with neck lift surgery? Neck lift surgery is safe, especially when performed by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon such as Dr. Karlinsky or Dr. Kim. While rare, complications can arise, including: Negative reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding/hematoma Infection Nerve damage Prolonged wound healing Unfavorable scarring Neck lift patients experiencing any unusual symptoms are advised to contact Dr. Karlinsky or Dr. Kim right away. Do you have to combine a neck lift with a facelift? While many patients choose to combine their neck lift with a facelift or a mini facelift to maintain facial balance, it is not required. If your aging symptoms are localized to the neck, you can choose to have a neck lift as a standalone procedure. This will tighten the neck and jawline to leave you looking revitalized and rejuvenated. Does a facelift also address my neck? Facelift surgery addresses the lower two-thirds of the face, often including the jawline. Some neck aging may be addressed; however, facelift techniques alone will not achieve the same amount of neck correction as a neck lift. Traditionally, most facelift or mini facelift procedures are always performed with a neck lift to ensure harmony between the face and neck. Will a neck lift get rid of my double chin? Submental fat can result from weight gain, age, or genetic factors, and it is challenging—if not impossible—to eliminate through natural means. Neck lift surgery, combined with liposuction of the neck, can eliminate the submental fat that makes up a double chin. Alternatively, non-surgical KYBELLA® injections can also help to minimize the appearance of a double chin. This injectable solution permanently eliminates excess fat in the neck. This injectable can be done before or after a neck lift to enhance results further. Frequently Asked Questions

VAGINAL TIGHTENING Vaginoplasty Vaginoplasty in New York City This surgical procedure tightens the vagina in patients with moderate to severe laxity due to childbirth. These stretched tissues and separated muscles can lead to sexual dysfunction, and some women struggle to keep a tampon from falling out because of the lack of tone. The vaginoplasty brings the separated muscles together and removes extra skin from the backside of the vagina. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More --- Labiaplasty Labiaplasty in New York City The labiaplasty procedure typically involves reducing the length of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips) to alleviate symptoms such as irritation, itching, and discomfort from tugging or twisting during exercise or intercourse. Labiaplasty can also correct asymmetry. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More - Clitoral Hood Reduction Clitoral Hood Reduction in New York City This procedure is often combined with a labiaplasty because the extra fold of the clitoral hood can look disproportionate once the labia minora are reduced. Clitoral hood reduction can balance the appearance of female genitalia. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More ---- Perineoplasty Perineoplasty in New York City This vaginal rejuvenation procedure involves the perineum, which is the space between the vulva and the anus. Perineoplasty is done for medical and/or cosmetic reasons to improve pleasure during sexual intercourse by providing support to the pelvic floor. The surgery involves removing extra skin in the perineum and mucosa and tightening associated muscles. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More HYMEN RECONSTRUCTION Hymenoplasty Hymenoplasty in New York City The surgical repair of a torn or ruptured hymen is often performed for varying personal reasons such as religious or cultural affiliations. The hymen is a membrane that holds part of the vaginal opening closed and is usually an indication of virginity, though the hymen can tear due to tampon insertion or vigorous exercise as well as intercourse. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More --- Revision of Episiotomy Revision of Episiotomy in New York City An episiotomy is a vaginal incision made to help in childbirth to enlarge the vagina. There are common complications that can arise after an episiotomy such as pain during sex, swelling, infection, and tearing into the rectal tissues, which can cause fecal incontinence. A revision procedure can alleviate these symptoms and restore sexual function. As Low as $730 a month with 0% APR via Cherry Financing Learn More --- Vaginismus Vaginal Relaxation in New York City There are a few treatments that work to relax vaginal muscle spasms. Vaginismus is a condition that causes involuntary muscle spasms in the pelvic floor that makes intercourse, inserting a tampon, or a gynecological exam painful and nearly impossible.

  • Body Lift | New Look New Life

    Losing a large amount of weight should be an exciting and positive experience, but it doesn’t always feel that way if you’re stuck with large amounts of excess skin afterward.

With a body lift, our team can help add the finishing touches to your new slimmer body, providing you with well-toned and natural-looking contours that complement your healthy new lifestyle. BODY LIFT > Our Services > Body Surgeries > BODY LIFT BODY LIFT IN NEW YORK CITY Losing a large amount of weight should be an exciting and positive experience, but it doesn’t always feel that way if you’re stuck with large amounts of excess skin afterward.

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. Our team is dedicated to providing safe, beautiful, and natural-looking aesthetic results that highlight your weight-loss transformation. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons personalize your body lift to your needs and practice one-on-one care throughout your body contouring process. From your pre-op consultation to after your post-op appointments, you will always have access to your surgeon. 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.

Implant size discrepancy: In cases where asymmetry (a size difference between the breasts) causes dissatisfaction, women may choose to replace or remove implants to achieve more balanced breast contours. Pain or discomfort: Some individuals experience chronic pain, discomfort, or other physical symptoms related to the implants. Capsular contracture: When scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing the breast to feel firm or change shape, leading to discomfort. Implant rupture or Leakage: The implant shell may rupture or leak, leading to deflation (in saline implants) or silent leaks (in silicone implants). Further Reasons for Removing or Replacing Breast Implants? Further Reasons for Removing or Replacing Breast Implants There are several reasons women opt to replace or remove their breast implants, including: Implant positioning issues: Implants may shift position or become malpositioned, leading to asymmetry or an unnatural appearance. Implant rippling (wrinkling): Sometimes, the implant may develop visible wrinkles or ripples, particularly in women with inadequate natural tissue coverage. Capsular contraction: Excessive scar tissue may form around the implant, causing discomfort, hardening, or distortion of the breast. Health concerns: Rarely, individuals may experience health issues possibly related to breast implants, including conditions like Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) prompting removal. What Is Discussed During My Breast Revision Consultation? Your consultation is critical to a successful breast revision procedure. During this meeting, your surgeon at New Look New Life will: Discuss your goals for the procedure Take your measurements and photos Explain your surgical options Recommend any combination procedures Develop a surgical plan If you think you may be a candidate for breast revision, contact New Look New Life Surgical Arts by calling (212)-830-6830. How Can I Personalize My Breast Revision? Breast revision is a highly customizable procedure that is tailored to your needs. The surgical experts at New Look New Lift will address all of your breast implant concerns and work diligently to restore the beauty and comfort of your breasts. Breast revision allows women to exchange their breast implants for ones of a different size, shape, or texture, or it can let them remove their breast implants permanently. How Is Breast Revision Performed? Breast revision is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety and involves the removal (and often replacement) of your breast implants. An incision is made along the inframammary fold or around the areola to remove the breast implant and surrounding scar tissue. Usually, your surgeon at New Look New Life will use your initial breast augmentation incision. If your implants are being exchanged, the new implant (based on your choices and desired outcome) will be inserted into the existing breast pockets. If you have decided not to replace your implants, then your breast pockets will be tightened, and the incisions closed. Will I Need to Combine My Breast Revision With a Breast Lift? Because breast revision is often sought by women who have had their original implants for some time, a breast lift is often indicated. However, some women can remove their implants without experiencing breast sagging. Breast lift surgery raises and restores youthfulness to drooping breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying tissues, and, in many cases, repositioning the areola nipple complex. Breast lift surgery can be performed at the same time as breast revision. What Will My Breast Revision Recovery Be Like? Breast revision is an outpatient procedure, and you should be able to return home to begin your recovery soon after your procedure. You can expect to experience some bruising, swelling, tenderness, and general discomfort following your breast revision. A compression garment may be wrapped around your chest to protect the incisions, reduce swelling, promote blood circulation, and ensure that the new implants heal in the correct place. You will see your surgeon for a follow-up appointment 24 hours after your surgery and again one to seven days later. Most breast revision patients return to work within a week, but additional time may be required depending on the demands of your job. You must avoid heavy lifting, running, or vigorous exercise for at least seven to 10 days. Your surgeon will provide you with their cell phone number so that they can be reached anytime during your recovery. Is Breast Revision Painful? Is Breast Revision Painful? Breast revision is performed under general anesthesia to prevent any pain during or immediately after the procedure. You may develop some discomfort in the hours and days following your breast revision, which can be relieved with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication like TYLENOL®. Will My Breast Revision Leave Scars? As with any surgical procedure, breast revision will result in scarring. Your New Look New Life surgeon typically uses your initial breast augmentation incision to prevent additional scarring. This new incision may be slightly longer (especially if scar tissue is being removed along with the breast implant in one piece—known as an en bloc capsulectomy) but should be in the same general area. If your initial augmentation incision cannot be used, an additional incision will be made along the inframammary fold (breast crease). What Does Breast Revision Cost in New York? At New Look New Life Surgical Arts in New York, your breast revision is customized to you depending on the reasons for your revision and what you hope to achieve. The personalization of this procedure, combined with the skill and knowledge of your New Look New Life surgeon, will be factored into the cost. Breast revision starts at $6,000. However, this amount will be influenced by surgeon’s fees, facility fees, operating room fees, anesthesia fees, pre-surgical tests, post-surgical garments, follow-up visits, and the cost of your replacement implants (if applicable). You will be provided with a detailed price quote during your consultation. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your breast revision in New York. How soon can I undergo breast revision after my initial breast augmentation? While most women remain pleased with the results of their breast augmentation for many years, some develop dissatisfaction with the look of their augmented breasts soon after their breast enhancement. While there is no official length of time between initial breast surgery and secondary breast surgery, patients should wait until their bodies have healed completely to best evaluate their results. When will I see the results of my breast revision? The results of your breast revision will be apparent immediately after the surgery and will continue to improve as the bruising and swelling subside. Most women realize their final results after a few weeks. Are my breast revision results permanent? Every breast revision patient ages differently depending on lifestyle and genetic factors. While your breast implants will be long-lasting, they are not necessarily permanent, and you may eventually develop additional implant complications or breast sagging. How can I prepare for my breast revision? You will need to stop taking any blood-thinning medication, including aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, and some herbal supplements, to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. You will also need to quit smoking for at least 10 to 14 days before and after your surgery. Before your breast revision, it is essential to establish a comfortable recovery area. You will also need to ask a family member or friend to drive you to and from our surgical center and help with all day-to-day activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and childcare, for the first 24 to 48 hours of your recovery. What are the risks associated with breast revision? Breast revision is considered to be very safe, especially when performed by board-certified cosmetic surgeons like those at New Look New Life. While rare, surgical risks are possible. These complications include: Adverse reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding/hematoma Infection Seroma Prolonged wound healing Changes or loss in skin or nipple sensation Unfavorable scarring An additional implant complication Are there ways to prevent implant complications? Unfortunately, complications can occur at any time with any implant. No matter how well you care for yourself and your augmented breasts, you may experience a complication. While there is no way to eliminate risk, you can reduce your chances by following all your surgeon’s recommendations before and after your surgery. Placing the implant under the muscle may reduce the risk of capsular contracture. However, this can not eliminate your risk entirely. Do breast implants increase my cancer risk? Breast implants are not now and have never been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, and implants will not prevent any breast cancer testing (mammograms) or treatments. Specific types of textured implants (Allergan™ BIOCELL® implants) have been linked to a rare form of lymphoma known as breast-implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This blood illness is not breast cancer but an extremely rare condition that develops in the scar tissue surrounding the implants. When discovered early, it can be treated by removing the implant and scar tissue capsule. Breast Revision Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're concerned about jowls, sagging skin, or midface aging, we have the expertise to restore your facial contours and bring back your confidence. What Are the Benefits of Facelift Surgery? Facelift surgery is performed on women and men to: Restore youthful and angular facial contours Eliminate fine lines and wrinkles on the middle and lower regions of the face Lessen the development of jowls Minimize a double-chin Reposition sagging facial tissues Maintain a natural appearance Am I a Candidate for Facelift Surgery? Men and women consider facelift surgery to correct the signs of aging that leave them feeling as though their reflection no longer represents the vibrancy they feel inside. The best candidates for facelift surgery do not smoke, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations of their results. These patients also continue good eating habits and healthy skin care routines over the course of their lives. Dr. Karlinsky and Dr. Kim are highly experienced in providing optimal and natural-looking facelift results. Where Are My Facelift Incisions Made? Incisions for facelift surgery are made in discreet locations where they will be easy to hide. Usually, incisions are made in the natural creases near the ear or behind the hairline. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues (including fat and muscles) are repositioned, tightened, or removed, and the excess skin is trimmed. The results of these techniques are smoother skin, more defined and lifted facial contours, and reduced wrinkles. Should I Combine My Facelift With Other Procedures? Many patients opt to combine their facelift with other procedures to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation: Neck Lift: If you're concerned about neck sagging or a double chin, a neck lift can be combined with your facelift for a balanced, youthful appearance. Facial Augmentation: To restore volume to the face, cheek implants, chin implants, or fat grafting can be performed alongside your facelift. Rhinoplasty: For those who want to address nasal concerns, rhinoplasty can be performed in conjunction with a facelift to achieve overall facial harmony. Should I Combine My Facelift With Facial Augmentation? Facelift surgery restores youthful contours by repositioning and tightening tissues, muscles, and facial fat; however, it cannot restore facial volume that has been lost over time. Facial augmentation, such as cheek augmentation with implants or fillers and chin augmentation with implants, can restore fullness to the face. Fat grafting to the face also restores facial volume by transferring fat from another area of the body. Is there a non-surgical alternative to a facelift? While no non-surgical procedure can rival the extensive results offered with the traditional facelift, there are non-surgical treatments that can reduce or eliminate the appearance of fine lines and restore facial volume. Younger patients or those who are only experiencing minor to moderate signs of aging may benefit from a liquid facelift treatment , which is a combination of neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® injections and dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane® or Restylane® Lyft™, or the collagen-enhancing RADIESSE® . Patients can also undergo laser resurfacing with Sciton® laser treatments . What Will My Facelift Recovery Be Like? Facelift surgery is an outpatient procedure, and you can return home to recover shortly after your surgery. You should plan to rest comfortably at home for several days following your facelift. We suggest that you keep your head upright at all times (even when sleeping) to ensure proper blood circulation. This will help promote comfort, reduce swelling, and limit the possibility of complications. Most facelift patients can return to work and their normal day-to-day-activities after one week, but you may be asked to limit any strenuous or vigorous exercise for a longer period. Most swelling should subside within one month. 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 your recovery. What Does Facelift Surgery Cost in New York? At New Look New Life Surgical Arts in New York, your facelift surgery will be tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals. Our facelift surgery starts at $15,000, but this may vary significantly once anesthesia fees, surgeon’s fees, facility fees, operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits are factored in. You will be provided with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation that will take all of the above factors into account. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your facelift in New York. Will My Facelift Leave Scars? Dr. Karlinsky and Dr. Kim pay meticulous detail to the placement and size of your facelift incisions. All incisions are placed in locations that will be easy to conceal with hairstyles and makeup, and all scars fade with time. Is Facelift Surgery Painful? Facelift surgery is performed under anesthesia to eliminate any pain during the procedure. You may develop some bruising, swelling, tenderness, and tightness following your facelift. Any discomfort can be lessened with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. When will I see my facelift results? Your facelift results will start to become visible immediately after the surgery but will continue to refine over the following days and weeks as the bruising and swelling subside. With time, your skin will feel much smoother and tighter, and your face will appear more youthful and rejuvenated. How should I prepare for facelift surgery? Since your facelift is performed under anesthesia, you will need to stop smoking and taking 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. What are the risks associated with facelift surgery? Facelift surgery is very safe, especially when performed by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon such as Dr. Karlinsky or Dr. Kim. While rare, complications can arise, including: Negative reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding/hematoma Infection Seroma Nerve damage Prolonged wound healing Unfavorable scarring Facial asymmetry Does facelift surgery address the entire face? No. Facelift surgery addresses the middle and lower regions of the face. It does not address the eyes or forehead. If you are experiencing laxity in the upper third of your face and would like to keep consistency between the youthfulness of your upper and lower face, you may consider combining your facelift with blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery) to address the eyelids. Will I still look like myself after facelift surgery? Facelift surgery is designed to restore a more rejuvenated and youthful version of yourself. This surgery will not make you look like an entirely different person, but it will highlight your natural beauty. How Can I Personalize My Facelift Surgery? Facelift surgery is performed to restore natural-looking, youthful facial contours. This surgery often takes between three and four hours to complete. Are my facelift results permanent? The results of your facelift will be long lasting; however, they are not permanent, as facelift surgery does not stop the natural aging process. You will continue to develop fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck; however, they will always be less than if you had not had the surgery. While every person ages differently, you can help prolong the life of your results by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a good skin care routine. Some patients choose to follow-up their facelift with a mini facelift after a few years.

  • Perineoplasty | New Look New Life

    The area between the vagina and the anus, called the perineum, is often torn or cut during childbirth. While tears and surgical cuts usually heal naturally without complications, sometimes the healing process can lead to excess scar tissue or deformities that cause lasting pain or discomfort. A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs the perineum. It also tightens the vaginal opening, which can help restore sexual feeling in women who have suffered vaginal laxity due to childbirth. PERINEOPLASTY > Our Services > Sexual Wellness > SEXUAL WELLNESS PERINEOPLASTY IN NEW YORK CITY The area between the vagina and the anus, called the perineum, is often torn or cut during childbirth. While tears and surgical cuts usually heal naturally without complications, sometimes the healing process can lead to excess scar tissue or deformities that cause lasting pain or discomfort. A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs the perineum. It also tightens the vaginal opening, which can help restore sexual feeling in women who have suffered vaginal laxity due to childbirth. Get A Quote What Is a Perineoplasty? A perineoplasty is the general name for a surgery to repair the perineum for either medical or cosmetic reasons. When performed specifically to repair a poorly healed episiotomy, it is called revision of episiotomy surgery. In addition to episiotomy revision, a perineoplasty may be needed if: You suffered extensive tearing during childbirth that did not heal well You’ve experienced decreased sexual feeling due to vaginal laxity You’ve experienced changes in bowel habits or vaginal itching that has not subsided You have “trigger points” that are painful when trying to insert anything into the vagina You still have pain and discomfort after your recovery from childbirth A perineoplasty can help to correct these issues so that you can go back to your normal, pre-childbirth genital state. Perineoplasty can also be performed at the same time as a vaginoplasty or labiaplasty. Candidates for Perineoplasty The best candidates for a perineoplasty: Are in general good health Do not smoke Have medical or cosmetic issues with the perineum that only surgery can correct You can still have children after undergoing a perineoplasty, although you should keep in mind that having another child can create new problems that you may need another surgery to correct. We typically recommend waiting until after you’re finished having children if you’re undergoing perineoplasty for cosmetic reasons. However, if you are in pain or suffering extreme discomfort, there is no reason to wait for relief. Dr. Shats can help determine whether perineoplasty is right for you during your consultation. We offer many types of surgical and non-surgical procedures to help restore your intimate areas after childbirth, and some patients may benefit from a combination of treatments for best results. Recovery After Perineoplasty Recovery from a perineoplasty typically takes around the same amount of time as recovery from an episiotomy. During recovery, you’ll need to: Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including lifting a child) Use a donut cushion when sitting Avoid sex for 6 to 8 weeks Follow all of Dr. Shats’ instructions carefully If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please feel free to call New Look New Life. We will be happy to answer your questions, as we want to make sure you heal as well as possible. Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Stellate Ganglion Block | New Look New Life

    SGB in NYC: Effective relief for PTSD, Anxiety & Long COVID. Expert care by Dr. Phillip Kuan at New Look New Life. Learn more about this nervous system reset. STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK > Our Services > Injectables > RESET YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IN NYC STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK IN NEW YORK CITY At New Look New Life, Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a specialized procedure performed by Dr. Phillip Kuan. This innovative treatment uses a precise technique of ultrasound-guided injection to "reboot" the sympathetic nervous system. It is designed to provide profound relief for patients suffering from severe anxiety, PTSD, Long COVID symptoms, and chronic pain by resetting the body's "fight or flight" response. Book Now What is Stellate Ganglion Block? This procedure involves injecting a long-acting anesthetic into a bundle of nerves in the neck called the stellate ganglion. These nerves control the sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" response). By temporarily numbing these nerves, SGB helps reset the system to its baseline, alleviating the physical symptoms of chronic stress, trauma, and nerve pain. Who is a candidate for SGB treatment? Candidates include individuals struggling with treatment-resistant PTSD, severe anxiety, Long COVID (specifically loss of taste/smell or parosmia), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or extreme hot flashes. A consultation with Dr. Phillip Kuan will determine if SGB is the right path for your wellness journey. How is the procedure performed? The treatment is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure. Using high-resolution ultrasound guidance for maximum precision, Dr. Kuan injects a local anesthetic around the stellate ganglion nerves. The process involves no incisions and is typically performed with the patient awake and comfortable. What are the benefits of SGB treatment? Benefits often include a rapid reduction in anxiety and panic attacks, improved sleep quality, relief from chronic nerve pain, and a restored sense of calm. It offers a unique physiological "reset" that talk therapy and medication alone often cannot achieve. Is SGB treatment safe? Yes, the treatment is safe. Performed by Dr. Phillip Kuan, a skilled specialist at New Look New Life, SGB has been used for decades in pain management and is widely recognized for its safety profile. Common, temporary side effects may include a drooping eyelid or red eye (Horner’s Syndrome), which indicates the block was successful and typically resolves within a few hours. How long does the procedure take? The injection process itself is very quick, typically taking less than 15 to 30 minutes. However, patients should plan to stay for a short observation period afterward to ensure their comfort and safety. How soon will I see results? Many patients report feeling a sense of calm or "lightness" almost immediately after the procedure (within 30 minutes). Improvements in sleep, anxiety, and pain levels are often noticed the same day or within the first week following treatment. Is Insurance acceptable for this procedure? While SGB is FDA-approved for pain, its use for PTSD and anxiety is often considered "off-label" or elective by insurance companies and may not be covered. However, our practice provides interest-free payment plans to assist patients in managing the cost of this life-changing treatment. How much does SGB treatment cost? Our specialized SGB treatment is competitively priced for a boutique NYC practice, with pricing starting at $2,000.00 per side. (Please contact our office to learn about our interest-free payment plans and package options).
