  • Lower Body Lift | Weight Loss | New Look New Life

    Lift and tighten the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks with a lower body lift at New Look New Life in NYC. Ideal for patients after major weight loss or bariatric surgery. LOWER BODY LIFT > Our Services > Weight Loss > BELT LIPECTOMY IN NYC LOWER BODY LIFT IN NEW YORK CITY A lower body lift is a transformative surgical procedure designed for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose, sagging skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. This surgery removes excess skin and tightens the entire lower torso for a smoother, more contoured silhouette. At New Look New Life, we tailor each lower body lift to your unique body and goals. Book Now Frequently asked questions Weight Loss - Lower Body Lift What exactly is a lower body lift for weight loss patients? A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive procedure designed to remove the "apron" of excess skin that often remains after significant weight loss. At New Look New Life, the goal is to contour the abdomen, hips, and buttocks in one 360-degree surgery. How much weight should I lose before seeing Dr. Claudia Kim? Ideally, you should be at or near your goal weight and have maintained a stable weight for at least three to six months. Dr. Claudia Kim recommends reaching this plateau to ensure the best surgical results and minimize the risk of needing future revisions. Can a lower body lift help with the skin irritation I have after weight loss? Yes. Many patients suffer from rashes or discomfort in skin folds after losing weight. By removing this excess tissue, New Look New Life can help eliminate these hygiene and comfort issues permanently. Will Dr. Claudia Kim perform a tummy tuck and a body lift at the same time? A lower body lift actually includes the components of a tummy tuck but extends the incision around the entire waist. Dr. Claudia Kim uses this technique to address the "spare tire" of skin that a standard tummy tuck cannot reach. How long is the recovery process after losing a significant amount of weight? Because this is a major body contouring procedure, recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks. The team at New Look New Life provides a detailed recovery plan to help you transition safely back to your active, post-weight loss lifestyle. Will I have visible scars after my procedure at New Look New Life? While a lower body lift does require a circumferential incision, Dr. Claudia Kim is highly skilled at placing scars low enough to be hidden by most underwear and swimwear. Can I combine my body lift with other weight loss surgeries? Many patients at New Look New Life choose to combine their lower body lift with an arm lift or breast surgery. This "post-weight loss makeover" approach can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Kim. How does massive weight loss affect skin elasticity for this surgery? Massive weight loss often damages the skin's "bounce back" ability. Dr. Claudia Kim specializes in techniques that provide the necessary tension to create a smooth, firm silhouette when the skin can no longer retract on its own. Does New Look New Life offer financing for post-weight loss surgery? Yes, New Look New Life understands that body contouring is the final step in a long weight loss journey and offers various pricing and financing options (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to make the procedure accessible. Is a lower body lift a weight loss procedure? It is important to note that this is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss method. Dr. Claudia Kim performs this surgery to refine the hard work you’ve already done through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. What makes Dr. Claudia Kim a specialist in weight loss body contouring? Dr. Claudia Kim has extensive experience handling the unique needs of weight loss patients, including managing skin laxity and ensuring the new body proportions look natural and balanced. Will my insurance cover a lower body lift at New Look New Life? While most body lifts are considered cosmetic, some portions may be covered if the excess skin causes documented medical issues. The New Look New Life (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/)staff can help you understand what documentation you might need. What happens if I lose more weight after the surgery? Significant weight loss after the procedure can lead to new skin laxity. Dr. Claudia Kim advises patients to reach their "forever weight" before undergoing a belt lipectomy to ensure long-lasting results. How soon can I exercise again at New Look New Life? Light walking is encouraged almost immediately to promote circulation, but Dr. Kim generally advises waiting about 6 weeks before returning to heavy lifting or high-impact cardio. Why should I choose New Look New Life for my transformation? New Look New Life provides a luxury experience with a focus on safety and personalized care. Dr. Claudia Kim and her team specialize in the 360-degree transformation required to truly celebrate your weight loss success.

Forever Young BBL™ helps manage these shifts by promoting healthy cell turnover and collagen production, ensuring your skin remains vibrant and healthy throughout your transition. How many treatments are needed to see a transformation? While many of our patients notice a brighter complexion after just one session, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments for optimal, long-lasting results.

  • Breast Lift | Weight Loss | New Look New Life

    A breast lift at New Look New Life in NYC restores a firmer, more youthful breast shape after weight loss—without adding volume or implants. BREAST LIFT > Our Services > Weight Loss > BREAST LIFT IN NYC BREAST LIFT IN NEW YORK CITY A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. It’s ideal for patients who have lost weight, experienced pregnancy-related changes, or aging. At New Look New Life, our surgeons restore a more youthful, lifted breast contour—often combining the lift with implants or reduction for optimal results. Book Now Frequently asked questions Weight Loss - Breast Lift What is a breast lift, and why is it needed after GLP-1 weight loss? Congratulations on achieving your weight loss goals! Because breasts are composed largely of fat tissue, losing a significant amount of weight with GLP-1 medications (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/weight-loss/glp1)often results in breasts that appear deflated, empty at the top, or significantly drooping (ptosis). A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a highly effective surgical procedure that removes this excess, stretched-out skin and reshapes the remaining breast tissue to restore a firmer, higher, and more youthful contour. Am I a good candidate for a breast lift? If you have successfully reached a stable weight using GLP-1s but are struggling with downward-pointing nipples, stretched skin, or breasts that have lost their upper-pole fullness, you are likely a fantastic candidate. During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)will carefully evaluate your breast tissue and skin elasticity to ensure a lift will achieve your desired shape. Will a breast lift increase my cup size or restore the volume I lost? A breast lift on its own does not increase your overall volume; it simply reshapes and lifts the breast tissue you currently have. In fact, because excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened, your breasts may appear slightly smaller. If you wish to restore the fullness and cleavage you lost during your weight loss, Dr. Claudia Kim highly recommends combining your lift with Breast Augmentation (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-augmentation)(implants) or natural Fat Grafting.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/fat-grafting) Do I need to pause my GLP-1 medication before my breast lift surgery? Yes. To ensure your complete safety under general anesthesia, GLP-1 medications (like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide) must be temporarily paused prior to your surgery date because they delay gastric emptying. Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)and our anesthesiology team will provide you with a specific, safe timeline for stopping and safely resuming your medication during your recovery. What is the recovery like after a breast lift? Recovery is very manageable for most patients! You will need to wear a supportive surgical bra around the clock for several weeks and avoid heavy lifting, raising your arms above your head, or strenuous upper-body exercise for 4 to 6 weeks. Most of our post-weight loss patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous work within just 1 to 2 weeks. Will there be noticeable scars? Yes, there will be scars, but they are a necessary trade-off for beautifully lifted breasts. Depending on how much excess skin needs to be removed, the incisions are typically made around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the crease itself. Dr. Claudia Kim utilizes meticulous, advanced closure techniques to ensure your scars heal as finely and faintly as possible over time. Can I combine my breast lift with other post-weight loss surgeries? Absolutely! Massive weight loss affects the entire body, and we specialize in comprehensive transformations. To minimize your total downtime, many patients at New Look New Life (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/)choose to combine their breast lift with a Tummy Tuck (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/weight-loss/tummy-tuck)or full Mommy Makeover (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/mommy-makeover)to address their loose abdominal skin during the exact same surgical session. Are my breast lift results permanent? While the excess skin removed during surgery is gone forever, your breasts will still be subject to the natural aging process and gravity over time. However, maintaining your new, healthy post-GLP-1 weight is the best way to ensure your beautiful, lifted results last for many years to come! Do you offer financing for post-weight loss breast surgeries? Yes. We believe that putting the finishing, confidence-boosting touches on your weight loss journey should be financially accessible. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. You can visit our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn how you can break your surgical cost down into easily manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my breast lift consultation? You’ve done the hard work of losing the weight—now let us help you reveal the beautiful silhouette you deserve! You can conveniently Book Now (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/book-now)directly through our website, or call our welcoming New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim.

Whether it’s enhancing the appearance, improving comfort, or correcting issues, our goal is to help you achieve the results you envisioned. At New Look New Life, we are committed to supporting your journey with personalized care that honors your identity and well-being. Vaginoplasty Revision > Our Services > Gender Journey > BOTTOM SURGERY VAGINOPLASTY REVISION IN NEW YORK CITY At New Look New Life, we offer vaginoplasty revision surgery, a specialized procedure for individuals seeking refinement or correction following their initial gender-affirming vaginoplasty. Dr. Rita Shats, a highly skilled and compassionate surgeon, performs these revision surgeries with meticulous care to address any aesthetic or functional concerns that may have arisen after the original procedure. Whether it’s enhancing the appearance, improving comfort, or correcting issues, our goal is to help you achieve the results you envisioned. At New Look New Life, we are committed to supporting your journey with personalized care that honors your identity and well-being. Frequently asked questions Gender - Vaginoplasty What is a gender-affirming vaginoplasty revision? Undergoing bottom surgery is a monumental, life-saving milestone. However, bodies heal in unpredictable ways, and needing a revision is actually a very common part of the journey for many trans women and transfeminine individuals. A vaginoplasty revision is a specialized secondary procedure designed to correct, refine, or improve the functional and aesthetic results of your initial surgery, helping you finally achieve the ultimate comfort and gender euphoria you deserve. Who is a good candidate for this bottom surgery revision? Ideal candidates are individuals who have previously undergone a vaginoplasty and are experiencing physical discomfort, functional difficulties (such as issues with dilation), or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of their vulva. You must be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for what a secondary surgery can achieve. What specific concerns can a revision address? At New Look New Life,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) our surgical team approaches your anatomy with the utmost respect and precision. A revision can successfully address a wide variety of concerns, including: • Narrowing or loss of depth in the vaginal canal • Difficulty or severe pain during dilation • Asymmetry of the labia minora or majora • Excess scar tissue or strictures • Concealment or aesthetic refinement of the clitoris (clitoral hood reduction) • Improvement of the urethral opening to correct urine stream issues How does Dr. Claudia Kim approach revision surgery? We understand that seeking a revision can feel emotionally exhausting. Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)and our specialized gender-affirming surgical team approach each revision with deep compassion and meticulous care. Your surgery will be entirely tailored to your unique anatomical needs, utilizing advanced, delicate techniques to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes while prioritizing your emotional well-being. How soon after my initial bottom surgery can I have a revision? Patience is key during your initial recovery. It is generally required that you wait at least 6 to 12 months after your first vaginoplasty to allow all swelling to completely subside and tissues to fully heal and soften before we can safely evaluate and perform a revision. Will a vaginoplasty revision affect my sensation? Preserving your erogenous and tactile sensation is one of our highest priorities. While any surgery in this delicate area carries a risk of altered sensation, our team uses incredibly precise microsurgical techniques to protect your nerve endings. These risks will be thoroughly and transparently discussed with you during your private consultation. What is the recovery process like, and when can I resume sexual activity? Recovery from a revision is typically much easier and faster than your initial bottom surgery! You will experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but most patients are able to resume light daily activities within a few weeks. Depending on the extent of your revision, you will generally be cleared to safely resume penetrative sexual activity and your regular dilation schedule in about 6 to 8 weeks. Can I combine my revision with other gender-affirming procedures? Absolutely. Many of our patients prefer to combine procedures to minimize their overall downtime, time off work, and time under anesthesia. Depending on the complexity of your revision, it can often be safely performed alongside Facial Feminization,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender/facial-feminization) Breast Augmentation,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender/breast-aug) or body contouring procedures like Liposuction.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender/liposuction) Why don't you have a public before-and-after gallery for bottom surgery? At New Look New Life, we deeply respect that your transition is a sacred, intimate journey. We recognize that public before-and-after photos of genitalia can sometimes feel dysphoric, invasive, or objectifying to our trans patients. To protect the dignity and privacy of our community, we choose not to post these galleries publicly. However, we are always happy to review successful revision results with you privately and respectfully during your consultation. Do you offer financing for revision surgeries? Yes. We strongly believe that life-saving, gender-affirming care should be accessible, and correcting a previous surgery should not cause you financial distress. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. You can visit our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn how you can break your surgical cost down into manageable monthly payments.

Nasal contouring with fillers at New Look New Life provides an effective way to achieve the nose shape that complements your gender expression, helping you feel more confident in your appearance. NASAL CONTOURING > Our Services > Gender Journey > FACIAL FILLERS NASAL CONTOURING IN NEW YORK CITY At New Look New Life, nasal contouring with fillers is a non-surgical option for one's gender confirmation journey, offering a refined and balanced appearance that aligns with your gender identity. This procedure involves the precise application of dermal fillers to reshape and enhance the nose’s structure, whether you’re seeking to create a more delicate, feminine contour or a stronger, more defined masculine profile. Our skilled practitioners tailor each treatment to your individual facial features and goals, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Nasal contouring with fillers at New Look New Life provides an effective way to achieve the nose shape that complements your gender expression, helping you feel more confident in your appearance. Frequently asked questions Gender - Nasal Contouring What is non-surgical nasal contouring (Liquid Rhinoplasty)? Because the nose sits at the exact center of the face, its shape and size play a massive role in how your gender is read by others. Non-surgical nasal contouring is a revolutionary, immediate approach to facial gender confirmation. Using precise injections of advanced Dermal Fillers,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/filler) Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)can beautifully reshape, lift, and refine the nose without making a single surgical incision, helping your profile seamlessly align with your true gender identity. How does nasal contouring differ for transfeminine vs. transmasculine patients? Because gender expression is deeply personal, Dr. Claudia Kim customizes her injectable approach entirely based on your aesthetic goals: • For Transfeminine Individuals: The goal is typically to create a softer, more delicate, and gracefully sloped profile. Fillers are strategically used to camouflage a prominent dorsal hump, create the illusion of a narrower bridge, or delicately lift a drooping nasal tip. • For Transmasculine Individuals: The goal is often to create a stronger, more dominant, and traditionally masculine profile. Fillers are used to build up a flat bridge, widen the nasal structure, or create a straighter, more rugged contour. Who is a good candidate for this procedure? Ideal candidates are individuals on a Gender Journey (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender-journey)who wish to refine the shape of their nose to alleviate dysphoria but are not yet ready for, or simply do not want to undergo, a surgical rhinoplasty. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the temporary nature of dermal fillers. What is the recovery process like, and when will I see results? The most exciting benefit of a "liquid rhinoplasty" is that the results are instant! You will see your newly affirmed profile before you even leave our office. There is absolutely no downtime required. You may experience some minor swelling, slight redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these resolve very quickly, and you can resume your normal daily activities immediately. How long do the results of a liquid rhinoplasty last? Because the nose does not move as much as other areas of the face (like the lips or cheeks), fillers placed here tend to be incredibly long-lasting. Depending on your metabolism and the specific type of hyaluronic acid filler used, your results will typically last anywhere from 9 to 18 months. Routine maintenance appointments can be easily scheduled to sustain your beautifully refined nose! Are the results of non-surgical nasal contouring reversible? Yes. We understand that exploring your physical gender presentation is an ongoing journey. The hyaluronic acid-based fillers we use for nasal contouring are completely safe and reversible. If you ever wish to adjust your look, the filler can be quickly dissolved with a simple enzyme injection (hyaluronidase). Can I use nasal contouring as a "trial run" before a surgical Rhinoplasty? Absolutely! In fact, this is one of the smartest and most common ways our trans patients utilize this procedure. Non-surgical nasal contouring is a phenomenal, temporary way to "test drive" how you look and feel with a different nasal shape before committing to the permanent bone and cartilage changes of a surgical Rhinoplasty. Can I combine nasal contouring with other gender-affirming procedures? Yes! To achieve a comprehensive, harmonious transformation, Dr. Claudia Kim routinely performs liquid rhinoplasties alongside full Facial Feminization (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender/facial-feminization)or Facial Masculinization (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gender/facial-masculinization)filler packages to balance the entire face in just one quick appointment.

At New Look New Life,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) we deeply respect that your transition is a sacred, intimate experience. We recognize that public before-and-after photos can sometimes feel dysphoric or objectifying to our trans patients.

  • Botox & Dysport | New Look New Life

    The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face is one of the most common cosmetic frustrations for women and men of all ages. And while many people believe that lines in the skin are simply a result of age, the truth is that wrinkles can develop due to repeated muscle contractions caused by facial expressions (smiling, frowning, and squinting). BOTOX® Cosmetic in New York is an effective non-surgical option for patients who want to stay ahead of the aging game and address these lines without cosmetic surgery. BOTOX & DYSPORT > Our Services > Injectables > INJECTABLES BOTOX & DYSPORT IN NEW YORK CITY The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face is one of the most common cosmetic frustrations for women and men of all ages. And while many people believe that lines in the skin are simply a result of age, the truth is that wrinkles can develop due to repeated muscle contractions caused by facial expressions (smiling, frowning, and squinting). BOTOX® Cosmetic in New York is an effective non-surgical option for patients who want to stay ahead of the aging game and address these lines without cosmetic surgery. Frequently asked questions Injectables - Botox Dysport What are BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®? The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face is one of the most common cosmetic frustrations for women and men of all ages. While many believe that lines in the skin are simply a result of age, the truth is that dynamic wrinkles develop due to repeated muscle contractions caused by daily facial expressions (smiling, frowning, and squinting). BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are highly effective, minimally invasive neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into targeted facial muscles, these neurotoxins temporarily block the chemical signals that instruct the muscles to contract. This allows the muscles to relax, preventing expression-causing lines from forming and smoothing the skin above. What are the benefits of neuromodulators? Both BOTOX® and Dysport® are highly effective in eliminating expression-causing fine lines and wrinkles on or around the: • Forehead • Brows (Frown lines or "11s") • Eyes (Crow’s feet) • Lips • Nose (Bunny lines) • Chin and Jawline • Neck bands In addition to stunning cosmetic results that leave you looking well-rested and rejuvenated, these injections require absolutely zero downtime! Am I a candidate for BOTOX® or Dysport®? Ideal candidates are women and men aged 18 and older who are looking to temporarily reduce the presence of dynamic lines and wrinkles. You must be in good general health and have realistic expectations for your results. Note: It is important to be aware that neuromodulators cannot correct severe facial aging, skin sagging, or volume loss. In more extensive cases of skin laxity, patients will likely benefit from a surgical Facelift.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/facelift) To restore lost facial volume, you can easily combine your treatment with Dermal Fillers (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/filler)or Fat Grafting.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/fat-grafting) How are the injections performed? During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)will carefully review your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine which product (BOTOX® or Dysport®) is best for you. For your treatment session, Dr. Claudia Kim will inject a predetermined amount of the neuromodulator into specific muscles using an ultra-fine needle. The treatment is virtually painless (often described as a tiny pinch), and the entire session takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. What is the recovery like? One of the best aspects of injectable treatments is that there is no recovery time needed! You are free to return to work and your normal daily activities immediately after leaving New Look New Life.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) We simply advise that you avoid rubbing your face, lying completely flat, and participating in strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. When will I see results and how long do they last? Most patients start to see smoother, more wrinkle-free skin within 3 to 5 days; however, it can take up to 7 to 10 days for the absolute full results to develop. The rejuvenating effects of your BOTOX® or Dysport® will typically last approximately 3 to 5 months. As your results naturally fade over time, routine maintenance treatments will ensure that your skin remains beautiful and wrinkle-free year-round. How much does BOTOX® and Dysport® cost in New York? The exact cost varies between patients depending on the severity of the correction needed, the number of treatment areas, and the amount of product required. At New Look New Life, an area of BOTOX® is $450, and an area of Dysport® is $350. We will provide you with a precise, customized quote during your consultation. Is "Preventative BOTOX®" right for me? Yes! You do not need to wait for deep wrinkles to form before seeking treatment. Many patients in their 20s and 30s utilize "preventative BOTOX®" or Dysport® to train their facial muscles to relax. By stopping the repetitive muscle contractions early, you can actually prevent deep, permanent wrinkles from ever etching into your skin in the first place! Can I combine BOTOX® or Dysport® with other facial treatments? Absolutely. In fact, combining injectables is one of the most popular ways to achieve a comprehensive "liquid facelift." Dr. Claudia Kim frequently pairs muscle-relaxing neuromodulators with Dermal Fillers (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/filler)(to plump lips and cheeks) or with advanced Lasers (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/lasers)(to improve overall skin tone and texture) during the exact same office visit! Do you offer financing for routine injectables? We certainly do! We believe that maintaining your youthful glow should easily fit into your budget. We offer flexible, stress-free medical financing options through Cherry, CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi. You can visit our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn how you can break your injectable treatments down into manageable monthly payments.

  • Inverted Nipple Surgery | New Look New Life

    An inverted nipple is a condition in which the nipple of one breast or both breasts lies flat or points inward instead of pointing out. This can cause many women to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Additionally, while many women with inverted nipples can still breastfeed their infant, there are some cases in which nipple inversion affects the baby’s ability to latch correctly, causing trouble with feeding. However, whether the nipple has always been inverted or it has occurred over time, inverted nipple surgery can help correct this issue. Inverted nipple surgery is a procedure that can correct female inverted nipples and restore a more natural and aesthetic look that boosts confidence and self-esteem. The board-certified surgical experts at New Look New Life have years of experience in correcting cosmetic issues such as inverted nipples, and they look forward to helping you look and feel the way you want.

Here at New Look New Life, we take true pride in helping our patients achieve the look and feel they desire. What Are the Benefits of Inverted Nipple Surgery? After your surgery, your nipple(s) will no longer be inverted. Instead, they will point outward. This will give them a much more natural aesthetic, which, in turn, creates a sense of confidence in your appearance. No longer will you feel self-conscious with an intimate partner or with your reflection in the mirror! Am I a Candidate for Inverted Nipple Surgery? Candidates for inverted nipple surgery are men and women who have one or both nipples inverted. Candidates should also be in good general health and have realistic expectations for their results. If you think you may be a candidate for inverted nipple surgery, contact New Look New Life by calling (212)-830-6830 or booking an appointment online.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/book-now) What Will Be Discussed During My Consultation? During your consultation at New Look New Life, you will meet with Dr. Claudia Kim to discuss your goals for the procedure as well as any concerns you might have. Additionally, Dr. Claudia Kim will: • Evaluate the condition of your nipples • Take photos • Explain the surgical procedure • Give any pre- and post-operative instructions • Recommend any combination procedures How Is Inverted Nipple Surgery Done? After you are given local anesthesia, Dr. Claudia Kim will make a tiny incision in the underside of your nipple and gently release any tension in the underlying tissue pulling the nipple inward. Dissolving sutures are then used to close the incision. The entire procedure usually takes less than one hour to complete. Can I Combine My Inverted Nipple Surgery With Other Procedures? Yes. Inverted nipple surgery can be seamlessly combined with other procedures. One of the benefits of combining procedures is less overall recovery time, since you will be recovering from the different procedures simultaneously. Some procedures often combined with inverted nipple surgery include: • Breast Augmentation(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-augmentation) • Breast Lift(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-lift) • Breast Reduction(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-reduction) What Will Recovery Be Like for My Inverted Nipple Surgery? It may take up to six weeks for full sensation to be restored after your inverted nipple surgery; however, you should be able to return to work the day after your surgery! You will have tenderness, swelling, and bruising in the area after your surgery, but this should dissipate over the next few days. You should also refrain from any vigorous activity during the first week after your surgery. Additionally, you may need to wear a padded bra or tight-fitting top during the first two weeks of your recovery. Is Inverted Nipple Surgery Painful? Local anesthesia will be used during the surgery, so you will not feel any pain while the procedure is being performed. However, you will have some swelling, tenderness, and bruising after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain medication can be taken to lessen any mild discomfort in the days after your procedure. Will My Surgery Leave Scars? Inverted nipple surgery does require incisions, which means scarring; however, scars for this procedure tend to not be noticeable because of the extremely short length of the incision as well as the discrete placement of the incision in the undersurface of the nipple. What Does Inverted Nipple Surgery Cost in New York? At New Look New Life, inverted nipple surgery starts as low as $3,000, which includes your surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and all your follow-up visits. However, the exact price for this procedure varies based on your unique anatomy. At your consultation, you will be given a detailed quote. We also offer medical financing to help make this procedure fit comfortably into your budget. Review our Pricing Page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)for more information about financing! How should I prepare for inverted nipple surgery? It is advised that you refrain from smoking for a month before and after your surgery to help speed up your recovery and improve healing. What kind of anesthesia is used for inverted nipple surgery? Local anesthesia is standard for inverted nipple surgery; however, general anesthesia will be used if your corrective surgery is being combined with other more extensive breast procedures. How long does inverted nipple surgery take? Most inverted nipple surgeries take less than one hour to perform. What are the risks associated with inverted nipple surgery? Inverted nipple surgery is a very safe procedure and includes minimal side effects beyond swelling and tenderness/sensitivity. However, as with all surgeries, there are some rare risks, including infection, bleeding, or poor scarring. When will I see the results of my inverted nipple surgery? You will see a difference immediately, but it usually takes two to three weeks for residual swelling to fully subside and for your final, beautiful results to become evident. Will this surgery affect my ability to breastfeed? Because the procedure involves releasing the internal milk ducts that are pulling the nipple inward, inverted nipple surgery can impact your ability to breastfeed in the future. If you are planning to have children and hope to breastfeed, please be sure to discuss this in detail with Dr. Claudia Kim during your consultation so she can tailor the surgical approach to your needs whenever possible. Can men undergo inverted nipple surgery? Yes! Nipple inversion is a common cosmetic concern for men as well. Male patients frequently visit New Look New Life to correct inverted nipples and restore a standard, confident chest contour. The procedure for men is identical and equally as fast and effective. It can also be combined with Gynecomastia surgery (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/gynecomastia)or Chest Masculinization (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/chest-masculinization)if desired. How soon can I schedule my inverted nipple surgery? Because inverted nipple surgery is a quick, straightforward outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, we can often accommodate this surgery relatively soon after your initial consultation! If you are ready to stop feeling self-conscious and take control of your confidence, Book Now (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/book-now)online or call our office directly at (212)-830-6830 to find a time that fits perfectly into your schedule.

  • Hyfrecator Treatment | New Look New Life

    Say goodbye to unwanted skin tags and visible veins without having to devote any time away from your busy schedule. A hyfrecator is an electrosurgery treatment that Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini and Dr. Claudia Kim perform to improve the appearance of various skin imperfections to provide you with a clearer, healthier appearance. HYFRECATOR SKIN TAGS & MILIA TREATMENT > Our Services > Lasers > SKIN TAG & MILA TREATMENT IN NYC HYFRECATOR TREATMENT IN NEW YORK CITY Say goodbye to unwanted skin tags and visible veins without having to devote any time away from your busy schedule. A hyfrecator is an electrosurgery treatment that Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini and Dr. Claudia Kim perform to improve the appearance of various skin imperfections to provide you with a clearer, healthier appearance. Frequently asked questions Lasers - Hyfrecator What does a hyfrecator do? Say goodbye to unwanted skin tags and visible veins without having to devote any downtime away from your busy schedule! A hyfrecator is an advanced electrosurgery device used for the safe, effective removal of skin tags, milia, cherry angiomas, and other stubborn red spots or patches on the skin. These common skin flaws can dramatically age a person and are incredibly difficult to cover up with makeup. Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)performs this simple treatment to provide you with a clearer, healthier appearance so you can maintain your youthful look effortlessly. How is the treatment performed? Dr. Claudia Kim performs this procedure as a quick, in-office treatment. During your session, she will gently place the fine tip of the device against the targeted blemish, transferring controlled electrical energy just below the skin's surface. This energy dries out and destroys the targeted tissue without making any surgical incisions, preventing unwanted scarring. Do I need to do anything to prepare for my procedure? No major preparation is needed prior to your procedure! Because this is a non-surgical treatment, it does not require the use of general anesthesia. However, Dr. Claudia Kim will gladly apply a topical anesthetic numbing cream to help ease any minor discomfort you may experience during the treatment. How long is each session? Your session is incredibly fast and should take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes—perfect for squeezing into your lunch break! If you are having a larger number of skin tags or milia removed across a larger area, the treatment may take 30 to 45 minutes. Will I see results after one session? Yes! Dr. Claudia Kim can instantly remove most skin tags during a single session. However, certain dense milia or deeper blemishes may take three to four weeks to fully naturally shed and disappear. Depending on the amount of blemishes you wish to have removed, a short series of sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal, perfectly clear skin. Does it require a long recovery period? There is no "downtime" required, meaning you can return to work immediately. However, some minor, temporary scabbing over the treated spots is common and should pass within the first 10 to 14 days. It is incredibly important to avoid picking at the scabs and to avoid unnecessary sun exposure for one to two weeks after your treatment to allow your skin to heal smoothly. Sunscreen must be worn whenever you head outdoors! Does this procedure pose any health risks? Because this treatment uses localized electrical energy rather than deep incisions or harsh chemicals, it is incredibly safe. However, it must be performed by a medical expert like Dr. Claudia Kim to prevent the risk of burns or scarring. Are Hyfrecator results permanent? Yes, the results are long-lasting and permanent for the specific blemishes that are treated. However, because skin tags and cherry angiomas are largely genetic and related to aging, it is always possible for new blemishes to appear in other areas as you get older. What are the alternatives to a Hyfrecator procedure? If you have widespread redness, sun damage, or textural issues rather than isolated skin tags or milia, Dr. Claudia Kim may recommend other non-invasive laser treatments.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/lasers) Popular alternatives for full-face clearing include Halo™ Fractional Resurfacing (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/halo)or Forever Young BBL™.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/forever-young-bbl) Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/)is a boutique cosmetic practice dedicated to providing safe, beautiful, and natural-looking results. Our board-certified experts personalize every single non-invasive, anti-aging procedure based specifically on your unique desires and needs, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care in New York City. Can I combine my Hyfrecator treatment with anti-aging injectables? Absolutely! Because the hyfrecator is so quick and requires no downtime, it is the perfect "add-on" to your routine maintenance appointments. Many of our patients choose to have their skin tags or cherry angiomas zapped away during the exact same visit as their Botox & Dysport (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/botox-dysport)or Dermal Filler (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/filler)injections for a complete facial refresh. How much does a Hyfrecator treatment cost? Hyfrecator treatments are a fantastic, highly affordable way to maintain a youthful, blemish-free appearance! Because the cost depends on the number of blemishes being removed and the time required, an exact quote will be provided during your consultation.

  • PDRN: Salmon Sperm Injections | New Look New Life

    RN treatment (salmon sperm injections) uses Polydeoxyribonucleotide from salmon DNA to improve overall skin health. Book your PDRN treatment in NYC. PDRN > Our Services > Injectables > SALMON SPERM INJECTION TREATMENT IN NYC PDRN IN NEW YORK CITY Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a breakthrough in cosmetic treatments, renowned for its regenerative properties. Extracted from salmon DNA, PDRN enhances skin rejuvenation by stimulating cell growth, collagen production, and improving microcirculation. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. Used in mesotherapy, PDRN revitalizes and hydrates the skin , making it a popular choice for anti-aging treatments and overall skin improvement with minimal side effects. Frequently asked questions Injectables - PDRN What is PDRN treatment? Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a massive breakthrough in regenerative cosmetic treatments. Extracted from highly purified salmon DNA, PDRN is an injectable "skin booster" that promotes deep tissue regeneration, enhances collagen production, and improves your overall cellular health from the inside out. How does PDRN work? When injected directly into the skin, PDRN acts as a building block for your cells. It actively stimulates cell growth, accelerates tissue repair, and enhances microcirculation. This leads to dramatically improved skin elasticity, deep hydration, and a visible reduction in the signs of aging. What are the benefits of PDRN treatment? Patients at New Look New Life (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/)love PDRN for its wide range of skin-healing benefits, which include: • Reduced fine lines and deep wrinkles • Noticeably improved skin texture and tone • Enhanced, "glass-skin" hydration • Accelerated wound healing and reduced scarring (including acne scars) • Overall vibrant, youthful skin rejuvenation Is PDRN treatment safe? Yes, PDRN treatment is incredibly safe and well-tolerated. Because salmon DNA is highly compatible with human DNA, it is completely biocompatible and carries a very minimal risk of side effects or allergic reactions. Who is a good candidate for PDRN treatment? Anyone looking to improve their skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or accelerate skin healing can benefit from PDRN! It is safe and suitable for all skin types and ages. Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)frequently recommends it for patients who want natural-looking rejuvenation without the use of traditional volumizing fillers. What can I expect during a PDRN treatment session? The treatment involves a series of tiny micro-injections of PDRN into the targeted areas of the face or neck. The procedure is minimally invasive, and Dr. Claudia Kim uses a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. A typical session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. How many PDRN treatment sessions are needed? The ideal number of sessions varies depending on your individual skin concerns. However, to achieve the absolute best "glass skin" results, Dr. Claudia Kim typically recommends an initial series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Is there any downtime after PDRN treatment? There is minimal to no downtime! You may experience slight redness or small bumps (like tiny mosquito bites) at the injection sites, but these usually subside within a few hours to a day. When will I see results from PDRN treatment? Initial improvements in hydration and brightness can be seen within just a few weeks. However, because PDRN is actively repairing your cells, your skin will continue to visibly improve over time as your natural collagen production increases. Can PDRN be combined with other cosmetic procedures? Yes—in fact, combining PDRN with other treatments is the ultimate secret to flawless skin! PDRN acts as a massive healing booster. When paired with Microneedling (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/microneedling)or advanced Laser Treatments (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/lasers)like Halo™ (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/halo)or Forever Young BBL™,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/forever-young-bbl) PDRN significantly cuts down your redness and healing time while doubling your collagen-boosting results. You can also safely combine it with Dermal Fillers (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/filler)during the same visit. How much does PDRN cost in New York City? At New Look New Life, a full standalone PDRN treatment is $1,500 per session. However, because we highly encourage "treatment stacking" for the best results, the cost of adding a PDRN treatment to any of our laser procedures is only $750! Do you offer financing for regenerative treatments? Yes! We believe that achieving the skin of your dreams should be completely stress-free. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through Cherry, CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn how you can break your treatment series down into easily manageable monthly payments.

  • 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 Frequently asked questions Sexual Wellness - Perineoplasty What Is a Perineoplasty? The area between the vagina and the anus, called the perineum, is often torn or surgically cut (an episiotomy) during childbirth. While these tears usually heal naturally, sometimes the healing process can lead to excess scar tissue, gaping, or deformities that cause lasting pain and discomfort. A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs and reconstructs the perineum. It also tightens the vaginal opening, which can help restore sexual feeling and friction in women who have suffered vaginal laxity due to childbirth. When performed specifically to repair a poorly healed episiotomy, it is often referred to as a Revision of Episiotomy surgery. Am I a Candidate for a Perineoplasty? A perineoplasty can help correct structural issues so that you can go back to your normal, comfortable pre-childbirth state. You may be a candidate for a perineoplasty if: • You suffered extensive tearing during childbirth that did not heal well • You have “trigger points” of scar tissue that are painful when trying to insert a tampon or during intimacy • You experience decreased sexual feeling due to a widened vaginal opening • You still have lingering pain and discomfort long after your recovery from childbirth • You are in generally good health and do not smoke (smoking drastically inhibits proper healing). While you can technically still have children after undergoing a perineoplasty, having another vaginal birth can create new tears that may require another surgery to correct. We typically recommend waiting until after you're finished having children if you're undergoing perineoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons. However, if you are in pain or suffering extreme physical discomfort, there is no reason to wait for relief! Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)can help determine whether perineoplasty is right for you during your private consultation. What Is Recovery Like After a Perineoplasty? Recovery from a perineoplasty typically takes around the same amount of time as recovering from an initial episiotomy. During your recovery, you will need to: • Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including lifting a toddler or heavy child) • Use a donut cushion when sitting to relieve pressure on the surgical site • Avoid sexual intercourse and the use of tampons for 6 to 8 weeks • Follow all of Dr. Claudia Kim's post-operative instructions carefully If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please feel free to call New Look New Life.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/) We are always here to answer your questions and ensure you heal as comfortably as possible. Will a Perineoplasty improve my sexual satisfaction? Yes! For many women, a poorly healed perineum results in a widened vaginal opening, which significantly reduces friction and sensation during intercourse. By surgically repairing the muscles and tightening the entrance to the vagina, a perineoplasty frequently restores lost sensation, eliminates pain caused by jagged scar tissue, and dramatically improves overall sexual satisfaction and confidence. Can I combine a Perineoplasty with other Sexual Wellness procedures? Absolutely. Because childbirth affects the entire pelvic region, Dr. Claudia Kim frequently performs a perineoplasty at the same time as a Vaginoplasty (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/vaginoplasty)(to tighten the internal vaginal canal) or a Labiaplasty (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/labiaplasty)(to reduce stretched labial lips). Combining these procedures allows for a complete, harmonious intimate rejuvenation with only one single recovery period. Can I include a Perineoplasty in my Mommy Makeover? Yes!

Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Male Surgeries - Male Thigh Lift What is a Male Thigh Lift? Cosmetic thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) removes excess skin from the upper thigh to eliminate the appearance of sagging thighs or loose skin around the thighs and knees.

Thigh lift surgery is performed on men to: • Remove excess skin left over from massive weight loss • Reduce stubborn fat pockets in the inner and outer thigh • Sculpt more athletic, proportionate legs • Prevent uncomfortable skin chafing and irritation • Increase self-confidence in shorts and swimwear • Expand wardrobe opportunities Am I a Candidate for Thigh Lift Surgery? Men often consider thigh lift surgery to restore smoother, tighter thighs. This surgery is incredibly common after extreme weight loss or bariatric surgery when sagging skin becomes a significant physical and aesthetic concern. Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations for their body contouring results. What Is Discussed During My Thigh Lift Consultation? During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical condition and anatomy. During this meeting, she will: • Discuss your specific goals for your thigh lift • Evaluate your skin laxity and muscle tone • Take photos • Explain your surgical options and incision placements • Recommend any combination procedures • Develop a personalized surgical plan If you think you may be a candidate for thigh lift surgery, contact New Look New Life by calling (212)-830-6830 or booking your consultation online.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/book-now) How Can I Personalize My Thigh Lift? Thigh lift surgery is highly customizable based on the amount of excess skin you have. It 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 the same day 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. Dr. Claudia Kim will use either the medial or vertical thigh lift technique: • The Medial Thigh Lift: Involves incisions hidden within the folds of the groin that extend to the lower butt crease. This is ideal for men with only moderate skin laxity in the upper thigh. • The Vertical Thigh Lift: Involves the removal of a larger amount 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? Men who have lost substantial weight often have loose skin on the thighs as well as the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and lower back. These patients greatly benefit from a full Body Lift,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/body-lift) as this comprehensive surgery treats the entire circumference of the lower body. Dr. Claudia Kim will discuss all potential body contouring combinations during your consultation. Why should I consider adding Renuvion® to my Liposuction procedure? (copy) (copy) While Liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/liposuction)is the gold standard for permanently removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is not designed to tighten the overlying skin. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, removing fat can sometimes leave the treated area looking slightly loose or deflated. By pairing your liposuction with a Renuvion® (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/renuvion)treatment, Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)can actively shrink and tighten the skin from the inside out using advanced radiofrequency and helium plasma energy. This dynamic combination ensures your newly sculpted contours look incredibly smooth, firm, and natural. What Will My Thigh Lift Recovery Be Like? Recovery after a thigh lift is slightly lengthier than other cosmetic procedures because of the constant movement of the legs. While you will walk out of surgery on your own, you will need a ride home and are likely to require assistance 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. Strict bed rest is not recommended—in fact, light walking will aid in your recovery and promote circulation. For optimal healing, we recommend taking two weeks off from work. Strenuous lower-body exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Dr. Claudia Kim provides all of her patients with her cell phone number so she can be reached easily at any time during your recovery. Is Thigh Lift Surgery Painful? Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. It is common to develop some soreness, tenderness, bruising, and swelling following your thigh lift, but this discomfort is easily alleviated with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Will My Thigh Lift Leave Scars? Thigh lift surgery requires incisions, which means there will be some scarring following your operation. The extent of this scarring will depend on the surgical technique used. Often, you will have two scars along the tops of your inner thighs. After healing, most male patients find that these scars are very well-hidden by boxer briefs and swim trunks. You can help reduce the visibility of scarring by keeping the incisions out of the sun and applying scar-fading treatments as directed. What Does Thigh Lift Surgery Cost in New York? At New Look New Life, your thigh lift surgery is tailored specifically 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 (such as adding liposuction). You will be provided with an accurate, fully transparent cost estimate during your consultation. Visit our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn more. 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 and look more defined over the following weeks and months as the residual swelling fully subsides. How should I prepare for my thigh lift? 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 to minimize the risk of bleeding. You will also need to arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours. If you are a massive weight loss or gastric bypass patient, Dr. Claudia Kim will consult with your physician to ensure your nutritional and recovery needs are safely met. What are the risks associated with thigh lift surgery? Thigh lift surgery is very safe when performed by a highly skilled, board-certified surgeon. While rare, complications can arise, including infection, bleeding, fluid accumulation, or poor scarring. Closely following your post-operative instructions minimizes these risks. 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 Male Liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/male-liposuction)instead. During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will evaluate your skin elasticity to determine if liposuction alone will achieve your desired results. Are my thigh lift results permanent? While the longevity of results will vary depending on your genetics and lifestyle, thigh lift results are meant to be permanent. You will enjoy the benefits of your procedure long into the future as long as you maintain a stable weight, eat well, and exercise regularly. Keep in mind that skin will naturally lose some elasticity as you age. Can I finance my Thigh Lift surgery? Yes! We believe that finalizing your weight loss journey and feeling confident in your body should be an accessible reality. New Look New Life offers flexible medical financing options through trusted partners like CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing & Financing information (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn how you can break your body contouring procedure down into manageable monthly payments. Can I Combine a Thigh Lift with a Tummy Tuck? Absolutely. Because severe skin laxity rarely happens in just one place, many of our male weight-loss patients choose to combine their thigh lift with a Male Tummy Tuck (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/male-tummy-tuck)or Abdominal Etching.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/abdominal-etching) Combining these procedures allows Dr. Claudia Kim to comprehensively sculpt your midsection and lower body during a single surgery, meaning you only have to go through one recovery period!
