Chin Augmentation > Our Services > Gender Journey > FACIAL GENDER CONFIRMATION SURGERY CHIN AUGMENTATION IN NEW YORK CITY At New Look New Life, chin augmentation is an integral part of facial gender confirmation surgery, helping individuals achieve a more harmonious and gender-affirming facial profile. Our expert surgeons use custom-shaped implants or advanced contouring techniques to enhance the chin's prominence, creating a balanced and defined look that aligns with your gender identity. Whether you are seeking a more masculine or feminine appearance, this procedure is tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. At New Look New Life, we are dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care that empowers you to feel confident and aligned with your true self. Frequently asked questions Gender - Chin Augmentation What is a gender-affirming chin augmentation? The shape, width, and projection of the chin play a massive role in how the brain instantly reads a face as "masculine" or "feminine." Chin augmentation is a powerful, transformative component of facial gender confirmation surgery. By using custom-shaped implants or advanced contouring techniques, Dr. Claudia Kim can precisely alter the lower third of your face. This procedure beautifully harmonizes your profile and alleviates dysphoria by ensuring your outer appearance truly reflects your inner identity. How does chin augmentation differ for transfeminine vs. transmasculine patients? Because gender affirmation is highly personalized, the surgical approach is entirely different based on your goals: For Transfeminine Individuals (FFS): The goal is often to create a softer, slightly more pointed, or narrower chin that gracefully balances the lower face without looking heavy. For Transmasculine Individuals (FMS): The goal is typically to create a wider, stronger, more squared-off chin and jawline that projects forward, establishing a traditionally masculine, chiseled profile. Who is a good candidate for this procedure? Ideal candidates are transgender, non-binary, or gender-expansive individuals seeking to enhance their chin's appearance to better reflect their gender identity. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for how this procedure will balance your unique facial structure. What materials are used for chin implants? Dr. Claudia Kim typically uses medical-grade, solid silicone implants. These implants are incredibly safe, durable, and available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes to create a natural-looking, permanent enhancement. How does Dr. Claudia Kim customize my results? During your consultation at New Look New Life, Dr. Claudia Kim will work intimately with you to understand your exact aesthetic vision. She deeply analyzes your existing bone structure to choose the perfect implant size and shape that best suits your face, ensuring the final result is harmonious, natural-looking, and affirming. Where are the incisions placed, and will there be noticeable scars? Dr. Claudia Kim utilizes highly advanced, discreet surgical techniques. In most cases, the incision is placed either entirely inside the mouth (along the lower gumline) or hidden in the natural crease just under the chin, resulting in virtually zero visible scarring! What is the recovery process like? Recovery typically involves moderate swelling, bruising, and tightness around the chin and lower lip, which is easily managed with prescribed medication. You will be on a soft-food diet for a few days to protect the incision if it was placed inside the mouth. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light, everyday activities within a week and can safely resume full activities, including exercise, in about 4 to 6 weeks. When will I see my final results? While you will notice an immediate change in your profile right after surgery, the final, refined results will take several weeks to months to become fully apparent as the residual swelling completely subsides and the implant settles naturally against your jawbone. Can chin augmentation be combined with other facial surgeries? Yes, and we highly recommend it! To achieve the most profound, cohesive transformation, chin augmentation is very frequently combined with other procedures during a single Facial Feminization or Facial Masculinization surgery. Dr. Claudia Kim regularly pairs chin implants with Nasal Contouring, Hairline Lowering, or lip augmentation to complete your transition in one comprehensive step.

We recognize that public before-and-after photos can sometimes feel dysphoric or objectifying to our trans patients. To protect the dignity and privacy of our community, we choose not to post these galleries publicly on our website. However, Dr. Claudia Kim is always happy to review her stunning surgical results with you privately and respectfully during your consultation.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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 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 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 (implants) or natural 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 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 choose to combine their breast lift with a Tummy Tuck or full 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 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 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.

  • Abdominal Etching | Gender Affirmation

    At New Look New Life, liposuction is a key component of body contouring for gender confirmation surgery. It is designed to help individuals achieve a body shape that aligns with their gender identity. Dr. Claudia Kim strategically removes excess fat from specific areas, such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs, to create a more masculine or feminine silhouette. Whether you are seeking to enhance a tapered waist for a more feminine figure or to remove fat for a leaner, more masculine appearance, our personalized approach ensures that your results reflect your unique goals. At New Look New Life, we are committed to providing compassionate, expert care that supports your transition and helps you feel confident in your body. ABDOMINAL ETCHING VASER > Our Services > Gender Journey > BODY CONTOURING ABDOMINAL ETCHING IN NEW YORK CITY At New Look New Life, abdominal etching with VASER technology is an advanced body contouring procedure tailored for gender confirmation surgery. This technique precisely sculpts the abdominal area by removing targeted fat deposits to enhance the natural contours of the muscles, creating a defined and athletic appearance. Whether you’re seeking a more masculine six-pack or a subtle, toned abdomen, VASER’s precision allows our skilled surgeons to achieve highly detailed results that align with your gender identity. With minimal downtime and a personalized approach, abdominal etching at New Look New Life helps you achieve a body that reflects your true self, boosting both confidence and satisfaction. Frequently asked questions Gender - Ab Etching What is gender-affirming abdominal etching with VASER? Even with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and dedicated time in the gym, biological fat distribution around the core can be incredibly stubborn and a major source of body dysphoria. Abdominal etching is an advanced, highly specialized body contouring procedure that uses state-of-the-art VASER ultrasound technology to literally sculpt the abdomen. By selectively removing targeted fat deposits around your existing muscles, Dr. Claudia Kim can perfectly carve out a defined, athletic appearance that beautifully aligns your physical body with your true gender identity. How does VASER technology differ from traditional liposuction? Unlike traditional Liposuction, which simply removes bulk fat, VASER is a "high-definition" tool. It uses gentle ultrasound energy to melt and liquefy the fat before it is removed. This allows Dr. Claudia Kim to sculpt with extreme precision, creating sharp, realistic muscle definition while significantly reducing trauma, bruising, and swelling in the surrounding tissues. How is abdominal etching customized for transmasculine vs. transfeminine individuals? Because gender expression is deeply personal, Dr. Claudia Kim tailors the VASER etching process entirely to your specific aesthetic goals: For Transmasculine & Non-Binary Individuals: The goal is often to create the classic, chiseled appearance of a "six-pack." Dr. Claudia Kim aggressively etches the vertical and horizontal lines of the rectus abdominis muscles, creating a rugged, highly defined, and traditionally masculine core. For Transfeminine Individuals: The procedure is softened to create a toned, athletic, yet distinctly feminine contour. Instead of a hard six-pack, Dr. Claudia Kim typically focuses on gently highlighting the vertical center line (linea alba) and the soft outer curves of the abdomen for a smooth, "fitness model" appearance. Who is a good candidate for this procedure? Ideal candidates are transgender, non-binary, or gender-expansive individuals who are already close to their ideal, stable body weight but want to achieve a highly sculpted core that diet and HRT cannot provide alone. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for how this surgery will enhance your natural musculature. Will there be noticeable scars? No. Dr. Claudia Kim makes incredibly tiny, discreet incisions (usually hidden in the belly button or the natural creases of the groin) to insert the VASER probe. These tiny marks typically fade to virtually invisible over time. What is the recovery process like, and when will I see my results? Recovery typically involves moderate swelling, bruising, and soreness. You will be required to wear a specialized surgical compression garment for a few weeks to help "shrink-wrap" your skin down to the newly etched muscle grooves. Initial results are visible within just a few weeks, but your final, "washboard" results will become fully apparent in 3 to 6 months as all residual swelling completely resolves. The results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight! Can I combine Abdominal Etching with my top surgery? Yes, and this is an incredibly popular choice! To achieve the ultimate masculine torso transformation in a single recovery period, Dr. Claudia Kim frequently performs high-definition abdominal etching alongside Chest Masculinization (Top Surgery). Can I use the removed fat to enhance other areas of my body? Absolutely. Because VASER technology gently melts the fat, the removed fat cells are highly viable for a Fat Transfer (fat grafting). Many patients choose to transfer this harvested fat into their chest/pecs, shoulders, hips, or buttocks to further masculinize or feminize their overall silhouette during the same operation. Why don't you have a public before-and-after gallery for body contouring? 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 bodies can sometimes feel dysphoric or objectifying to our trans patients. To protect the dignity, consent, and privacy of our community, we choose not to post these galleries publicly. However, Dr. Claudia Kim is always happy to review her stunning VASER results with you privately and respectfully during your consultation. Do you offer financing for gender-affirming body contouring? Yes. We strongly believe that life-saving, gender-affirming care should be accessible. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi.

  • Episiotomy Revision in NYC: Comfort After Childbirth | New Look New Life

    Experiencing discomfort after an episiotomy? Episiotomy revision surgery can help alleviate pain and restore vaginal health. Schedule your consultation with our expert plastic surgeon in New York City for a personalized treatment plan. REVISION OF EPISIOTOMY > Our Services > Sexual Wellness > SEXUAL WELLNESS REVISION OF EPISIOTOMY IN NEW YORK CITY An episiotomy is sometimes needed during a vaginal delivery to increase the vaginal opening and allow the baby's head to pass more easily. While this procedure can be necessary in certain cases, recovery from an episiotomy can be uncomfortable. In some instances, it may lead to lasting discomfort, especially during intercourse, or result in pelvic pain or scarring. If you've experienced complications from an episiotomy that healed poorly, episiotomy revision surgery can help restore your postpartum comfort and improve your quality of life. Dr. Rita Shats, our expert cosmetic gynecologist , has extensive experience in helping women who have had difficult recoveries after vaginal delivery. Episiotomy revision surgery is a highly effective solution for scar tissue and complications that remain long after the original procedure. New Look New Life offers comprehensive care for women in New York City and the surrounding areas, including Manhattan and Westchester. Call us today at 212-830-6830 to schedule your consultation. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Sexual Wellness - Episiotomy What Is an Episiotomy Revision? An episiotomy is an incision made in the perineum (the area between the vagina and rectum) during a vaginal delivery to increase the vaginal opening and allow the baby's head to pass more easily. While this procedure can be necessary in certain cases, recovery can be uncomfortable, and the incision does not always heal perfectly. If an episiotomy heals poorly, it can cause complications such as the formation of painful granulation tissue, pelvic floor dysfunction, fistula (a hole between the vagina and rectum), or knots of painful scar tissue. An Episiotomy Revision is a highly effective surgical solution designed to remove this abnormal scar tissue, repair the area, and resolve lasting discomfort so you can restore your postpartum comfort and improve your quality of life. Why should I choose New Look New Life for my revision? At New Look New Life, our expert cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Claudia Kim, has extensive experience helping women who have had difficult recoveries after vaginal delivery. She understands how sensitive and frustrating these complications can be, and she is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care to women in New York City who want to reclaim their sexual wellness and physical comfort. Who Is a Good Candidate for Episiotomy Revision? If you've had an episiotomy that didn't heal well or is causing lasting pelvic pain, you may be a great candidate for episiotomy revision surgery. It is never too late to undergo an episiotomy revision—even if it has been years since your delivery! Ideal candidates include women who: Are experiencing pelvic floor pain or discomfort that has not improved over time Wish to restore the ability to engage in sexual intercourse without pain Are in good general health and do not smoke Understand the surgical risks and can take adequate time off for recovery How Is Episiotomy Revision Performed? Episiotomy revision is a precise surgical procedure customized to your specific healing complications. The process typically involves: Anesthesia: General or local anesthesia will be administered for your absolute comfort. Incision and Tissue Removal: The jagged or painful scar tissue from the original episiotomy is meticulously removed. Restoration of Function: The area is carefully re-sutured to allow for smooth, optimal healing, restoring the normal vaginal opening and pelvic floor functionality. What Is the Recovery Process for Episiotomy Revision? Recovery after an episiotomy revision is often very similar to recovering from the original procedure, though it may be shorter depending on the extent of the scar tissue removed. During your recovery, you will need to follow specific post-operative care instructions, including: Avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for several weeks Using cold compresses or a donut cushion to relieve pressure on the surgical site Attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress Refraining from sexual intercourse and tampon use for 6 to 8 weeks You will likely experience some soreness and tenderness in the first few days, but this is easily managed with prescription medications or over-the-counter pain relief. When Will I See Results After Episiotomy Revision? Relief from the pulling or pinching of old scar tissue is often noticed very quickly! The final results from your episiotomy revision will become fully evident within a few weeks as the post-surgical swelling and tenderness decrease. Most women report a massive, life-changing improvement in pelvic pain and sexual health within a few short months. Can I combine an Episiotomy Revision with other Sexual Wellness procedures? Absolutely. Because difficult childbirths often affect multiple areas of the pelvic region, Dr. Claudia Kim frequently combines episiotomy revisions with other intimate procedures. Depending on your needs, you can easily pair this surgery with a Vaginoplasty (to tighten the internal vaginal canal), a Perineoplasty (for further perineum reconstruction), or a Labiaplasty (to reduce stretched labial tissue). Can I include an Episiotomy Revision in my Mommy Makeover? Yes! A Mommy Makeover is all about restoring your body after the beautiful, yet taxing, journey of pregnancy and childbirth. Dr. Claudia Kim can expertly incorporate your episiotomy revision into a larger surgical plan that includes a Tummy Tuck or Breast Lift, allowing you to completely rejuvenate your body from head to toe with just a single recovery period. Do you offer financing for Episiotomy Revision surgery? Yes. We believe that living pain-free and feeling confident during intimacy should be accessible to every woman. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through trusted partners like CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Check out our Pricing page to learn how you can break your investment down into manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my private consultation?

  • Male Hair Restoration and Transplants NYC | New Look New Life

    Struggling with hair loss? New Look New Life Surgical Arts offers the revolutionary Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) NO SCAR hair transplant system for men. Achieve a full, natural-looking head of hair with minimal discomfort and shorter recovery times. Learn more today! MALE HAIR RESTORATION > Our Services > Male Surgeries > A NEW HAIRLINE MALE HAIR RESTORATION IN NEW YORK CITY Hair loss can devastate anyone, and men tend to have more extensive hair restoration needs. They often require longer treatment and recovery times, as well as potential discomfort. Men typically experience male pattern baldness, a condition that leads to receding hairlines, bald spots, and thinning areas across the scalp. The good news is that advancements in hair transplant methods now allow men to achieve a full head of healthy hair that looks and feels like their real hair, with less hassle than ever before! New Look New Life Surgical Arts is pleased to offer the revolutionary Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) NO SCAR hair transplant system, an effective solution for male hair restoration in NYC. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Male Surgeries - Male Hair Restoration What Is NeoGraft® Automated Hair Restoration for Men? Dr. Claudia Kim and our detail-oriented team are committed to meeting the unique hair restoration needs of each patient. The NeoGraft® system uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a highly advanced hair restoration method. FUE is a minimally invasive procedure that provides natural-looking results by carefully extracting individual hair follicles from the donor site (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them to the balding or thinning areas. With the older strip technique, physicians used a scalpel to take a large strip of skin from the donor site and then closed the incision with stitches. Alternatively, NeoGraft® offers a state-of-the-art, less invasive approach in which individual hair follicles are removed and implanted one by one, ensuring a smooth recovery and minimal downtime with absolutely no linear scar. What Are the Benefits of NeoGraft® for Men? Experimenting with different hairstyles only camouflages hair loss for so long before hats, over-the-counter creams, and hairpieces find their way into your daily life. The NeoGraft® automated hair restoration system offers many permanent advantages for men, including: Meticulous precision for natural-looking, undetectable results A less invasive, more comfortable experience compared to traditional hair transplant surgery No stitches required, reducing discomfort and recovery time No linear scar on the back of the head As little as a 24-hour recovery period for most patients Faster results with noticeable hair growth within months Permanent hair regrowth that continues long after the treatment Am I A Candidate for the NeoGraft® Hair-Transplantation System? It's important to understand that the extent of your restoration depends on how much healthy hair is available to be transplanted from your donor site (typically located on the back or sides of your head). Men suffering from androgenetic alopecia or male pattern hair loss often have incredibly viable donor areas for FUE procedures. To determine if NeoGraft® is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim at New Look New Life to evaluate your hair density, follicle health, and scalp condition. What Is Discussed During My Hair Restoration Consultation? During your initial consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will evaluate your scalp, review your medical history, and discuss your concerns about hair loss. She will assess the exact cause of your hair loss and discuss all available treatment options. If you're a good candidate for hair restoration surgery, Dr. Claudia Kim will provide a customized treatment plan. This plan may also involve complementary treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or exosomes or other topical medications to enhance follicle health and maximize your results. How Does Automated Hair Restoration Work? NeoGraft® FUE Hair Transplants are completed in 5 highly precise steps: The donor area of the scalp is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. The healthy hair follicles are extracted individually and collected in a special, temperature-controlled receptacle. The target area (the thinning or balding spots) is cleaned and anesthetized. Dr. Claudia Kim creates a predetermined pattern of tiny grafting slits throughout the treatment zone that mimics your natural hair growth pattern. Each healthy follicle (graft) is meticulously placed into these openings. What Will My NeoGraft® Recovery Be Like? NeoGraft® is far less invasive than other hair restoration methods and typically involves only one day of downtime. You should be able to return to normal activities or work the day after your treatment. You will need to wear a bandage on your scalp for a few days and may be prescribed an anti-inflammatory to minimize postoperative swelling. Your scalp may be sensitive for up to a week following your procedure, but you will be fully guided on how to wash and care for the grafts during this critical time. Is Hair Restoration Painful? Local anesthesia is used to completely numb the scalp, so you will not feel pain during the treatment. Most patients report little to no discomfort while the grafts are being extracted and placed. Post-surgery, mild discomfort or tenderness may occur, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. Does NeoGraft® Leave Scars? Unlike the outdated strip method, the NeoGraft® Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique leaves no linear scar. The extraction sites are so incredibly small that they heal virtually undetectably, making it the ideal option for men who want to wear their hair short in the back without any visible signs of surgery. What Does NeoGraft® Hair Restoration Cost in New York? The cost of hair restoration with NeoGraft® varies depending on the number of grafts needed to achieve your desired coverage. The exact price of your customized procedure will be discussed during your consultation. While you may have to start spending more on haircuts again, our patients find that permanent, natural hair regrowth is a priceless investment! Check out our Pricing page to learn more. How should I prepare for NeoGraft®? You will need to discontinue blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamins, and certain supplements) one week before your treatment to prevent bleeding. Regarding your haircut, you may want to grow your hair out prior to your procedure so the donor area will be easily hidden by the surrounding hair while it heals. Alternatively, some men prefer to get a short buzz cut right before their procedure so their hair grows back completely evenly. Dr. Claudia Kim will advise you on the best approach for your specific lifestyle. How long does hair restoration with NeoGraft® take? Hair transplantation is a meticulous process, but the automated NeoGraft® system is significantly faster than manual extraction. Depending on your level of hair loss and the number of grafts required, your treatment may last anywhere from three to eight hours. At New Look New Life, we provide a relaxing environment where you can comfortably rest, read, scroll on your phone, or watch television during your procedure. What are the risks associated with NeoGraft® hair restoration? When receiving your NeoGraft® treatment from a qualified expert like Dr. Claudia Kim, the risk of complications is incredibly low. However, as with any procedure, minor risks exist, including temporary infection, inflammation, or shock loss (temporary shedding of the transplanted hairs before they regrow). When will I see my hair restoration results? Patience is key with hair restoration! The transplanted hairs will typically shed within the first few weeks—this is completely normal. The new, permanent root will then begin to grow fresh hair. Early results begin to show around four to six months following your procedure. You will see dramatic, full results within 12 to 14 months as the hairs fully mature and thicken. Can I combine NeoGraft® Hair Restoration with Facial Rejuvenation? Yes! Many men who are looking to turn back the clock choose to pair their hair restoration with non-surgical anti-aging treatments. We can easily administer Botox & Dysport or facial fillers during the same visit to smooth out deep forehead wrinkles or crow's feet, giving your entire face a refreshed, youthful appearance to match your new hairline. Can I finance my NeoGraft® Hair Restoration? Absolutely. We believe that restoring your hairline and your confidence should fit comfortably into your budget. We offer flexible medical financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. Review our Pricing & Financing information to learn how you can break your hair transplant investment down into manageable monthly payments. How do I get started with scheduling my procedure? If you are tired of watching your hairline recede and are ready for a permanent solution, the first step is easy. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your comprehensive hair evaluation with Dr. Claudia Kim!

Our goal at New Look New Life is to provide you with the natural and rejuvenated look you desire while minimizing recovery time to get you back to the fast-paced New York lifestyle. SEXUAL WELLNESS > Our Services > SEXUAL WELLNESS VAGINISMUS, HYMENOPLASTY & MORE Sexual wellness is an integral part of your quality of life. Many women struggle with painful or embarrassing issues that impact their sex life and intimacy with their partner, which is why New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts offers a variety of vaginal rejuvenation procedures and treatments to improve sexual wellness. 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. BOTOX® injections have been shown effective in treating vaginismus, essentially “curing” 90 percent of patients since studies began in 2005.

  • Time Rewind - Med Bar | New Look New Life

    Time Rewind is a 60-minute skin tightening facial using BBL SkinTyte to lift, firm, and stimulate collagen. No downtime. $599. TIme Rewind Facial > Our Services > Med Bar > FACIALS IN NYC TIME REWIND FACIAL IN NEW YORK CITY Time Rewind is an advanced skin-tightening facial created for patients looking to firm, lift, and rejuvenate without surgery or downtime. This treatment pairs cleansing and preparation with BBL SkinTyte for targeted tightening and collagen stimulation, followed by sculpting Fascella for added contour and definition. Ideal for the jawline, cheeks, and lower face, Time Rewind helps improve laxity, fine lines, and early signs of aging while encouraging long-term collagen production. Best results are seen in a series of three to six sessions. Book Now Frequently asked questions Med Bar - Time Rewind What is the Time Rewind facial, and how does it tighten the skin? The Time Rewind is a highly advanced, dual-modality facial designed to firmly lift and rejuvenate the face without surgery. Available at our Med Bar, this powerful 60-minute treatment combines two cutting-edge technologies: First, Skin Tyte II (by BBL) delivers deep, controlled heat to instantly contract existing collagen fibers and stimulate the production of new collagen. Second, we use Fascella technology to visibly sculpt the facial muscles, enhance tone, and boost circulation, resulting in a beautifully defined, tightened contour. What areas of the face does this treatment target? While it rejuvenates the entire face, the Time Rewind facial is specifically designed to target the most common areas of aging and laxity: the jawline, the cheeks, the lower face, and the upper neck. What is the price of the Time Rewind facial? This comprehensive 60-minute anti-aging treatment is $599. Because it combines two clinical-grade technologies (SkinTyte and Fascella) in one session, it offers incredible value for visible lifting. You can view all of our aesthetic and surgical treatment costs transparently on our Pricing page. Is the Time Rewind facial painful? Not at all! In fact, most of our clients find it incredibly relaxing. The SkinTyte portion feels like a warm, soothing massage on the skin, and there is no need for numbing cream or anesthesia. Is there any downtime after this treatment? No. The Time Rewind facial is a true "lunchtime" procedure with zero downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities, return to work, or apply makeup immediately after your appointment at New Look New Life. How many sessions are recommended to see the best results? While you will notice an immediate, temporary "shrink-wrap" effect right after your facial, building new collagen takes time. For the most dramatic, long-lasting firming and lifting, Dr. Claudia Kim recommends a dedicated series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Who is the ideal candidate for the Time Rewind facial? This treatment is ideal for clients in their 30s, 40s, or 50s who are beginning to notice mild to moderate sagging, jowling, or loss of firmness, but who want visible tightening without undergoing surgery. Can this facial replace a surgical Facelift? While the Time Rewind facial provides beautiful, non-invasive tightening, it cannot replicate the dramatic, permanent results of a surgical Facelift or Neck Lift. If you have significant, heavy skin laxity, Dr. Claudia Kim may recommend a surgical consultation to achieve your desired goals. However, this facial is a fantastic maintenance tool to preserve your results after having a facelift! Can I combine this facial with Botox or Dermal Fillers? Absolutely! The Time Rewind facial addresses skin laxity (sagging). To achieve a complete "Liquid Facelift," we highly recommend combining this treatment with Botox & Dysport to smooth out dynamic wrinkles, and Dermal Fillers to restore lost volume in the cheeks and lips. (Just be sure to receive your facial before your injectables to avoid migrating the product!) Will this help with double chin fat? The Time Rewind facial tightens loose skin, but it does not dissolve fat. If your lack of jawline definition is caused by submental fat (a double chin), we recommend pairing this facial with Kybella injections or Chin Liposuction to permanently remove the fat pad while the facial tightens the skin above it! How do I schedule my Time Rewind facial? Turning back the clock has never been easier or more relaxing. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our welcoming New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your transformative Med Bar appointment!

  • Ultherapy NYC: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening | New Look New Life

    Lift and tighten skin with Ultherapy in NYC. Learn how ultrasound skin tightening works, results, recovery, and Ultherapy cost in New York City. ULTHERAPY FACIAL REJUVENATION > Our Services > Lasers > ULTHERAPY IN NYC: NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING FACIAL REJUVENATION IN NEW YORK CITY As we age, collagen and elastin levels decline, leading to loose skin, fine lines, and sagging along the face and neck. At New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts, we offer Ultherapy in NYC, a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin without surgery or downtime. Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate new collagen production. Unlike laser treatments or radiofrequency devices that treat the surface of the skin, Ultherapy targets the deep structural layers typically addressed during a surgical facelift — without incisions. Ultherapy works by delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin while preserving the surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response and encouraging collagen regeneration. Frequently asked questions Lasers - Ultherapy What is Ultherapy®? Ultherapy® is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin without surgery or downtime. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency that treat the surface, Ultherapy® targets the deep structural layers of the skin—the same layers typically addressed during a surgical facelift—to stimulate the natural production of new collagen. How does Ultherapy® work? The procedure delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to precise depths beneath the skin. This energy triggers your body’s regenerative response, gradually strengthening and lifting the skin from the inside out. New Look New Life uses advanced ultrasound imaging during the treatment, allowing Dr. Claudia Kim to see the layers of tissue being targeted to ensure the energy is deposited exactly where it will be most effective. Am I a good candidate for Ultherapy®? You may be an ideal candidate if you have mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging along the jawline, loose skin under the chin ("turkey neck"), or drooping eyebrows. It is the perfect option for patients who want visible rejuvenation but are not yet ready for face surgeries. How is the procedure performed at New Look New Life? Your treatment is performed in-office and typically takes 30–60 minutes. After applying an ultrasound gel, Dr. Claudia Kim uses the Ultherapy® handpiece to deliver controlled pulses of energy. Most patients describe the sensation as a tiny amount of energy being deposited, which indicates the collagen-building process has begun. Is there any downtime? One of the greatest benefits of Ultherapy® at New Look New Life is that there is generally zero downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately. You may experience slight redness or minor swelling for a few hours, but these effects are temporary. When will I see results? While some patients notice an initial lift shortly after treatment, the real results appear as your body produces new collagen. Most patients see continued lifting and tightening over 2–3 months, with peak results appearing at the 6-month mark. How long do the results last? Since Ultherapy® stimulates your own collagen, results can last a year or longer. Because the skin continues to age, Dr. Claudia Kim often recommends annual maintenance treatments to effectively "pause" the aging process and maintain a youthful contour indefinitely. Can Ultherapy® be combined with other treatments? Absolutely. Many patients at New Look New Life achieve a "non-surgical facelift" by combining Ultherapy® with injectables like Botox or dermal fillers. While Ultherapy® tightens the foundation, fillers can restore lost volume for a comprehensive transformation. Can Ultherapy® help with "Ozempic Face"? Yes. For patients experiencing skin laxity due to rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications, Ultherapy® is an excellent tool to help the skin "snap back" by boosting essential elastin and collagen. How much does Ultherapy® cost in NYC? At New Look New Life, ultrasound therapy starts as low as $1,000 depending on the treatment area. We offer flexible financing through providers like Cherry to make your aesthetic goals more accessible. You can learn more on our pricing page. How do I get started? The best way to determine if Ultherapy® is right for you is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim. You can Book Now online or call our Manhattan or Westchester office at (212)-830-6830.

  • Exosomes in NYC | New Look New Life

    Exosomes are a highly effective, non-invasive skin rejuvenating treatment. Contact us to learn more about exosomes skin treatment in NYC. EXOSOMES > Our Services > Injectables > STEM CELL SKIN TREATMENT EXOSOMES IN NEW YORK CITY Exosomes, nanosized vesicles secreted by stem cells, are revolutionizing cosmetic treatments. Stem cell-derived exosomes are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and microRNAs, offering potent regenerative properties. In cosmetic applications, they penetrate deep into the skin, delivering bioactive molecules that stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce signs of aging. Unlike stem cell therapy, exosome-based treatments sidestep ethical concerns and potential risks associated with live cells. Harnessing the regenerative power of exosomes, skincare products promise remarkable results, rejuvenating the skin at a cellular level and offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures. Frequently asked questions Injectables - Exosomes What are Exosomes? Exosomes are nanosized extracellular vesicles secreted by stem cells. They are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and microRNAs, offering incredibly potent regenerative properties. In medical aesthetics, they are used to penetrate deep into the skin or scalp, delivering bioactive molecules that rejuvenate your cells and stimulate massive natural healing without the ethical concerns or risks associated with live stem cell therapy. How do exosomes benefit the skin? Because they contain such a high concentration of growth factors, exosomes promote tissue regeneration and rapid collagen production. When used in cosmetic applications at New Look New Life, they help dramatically improve skin texture, deeply hydrate, fade hyperpigmentation, reduce wrinkles, and speed up the healing process of other treatments. How do exosomes help with hair loss? In Hair Restoration treatments, exosomes act as key signaling molecules that communicate with dormant cells. When injected into the scalp, they stimulate damaged or resting hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and improving overall hair density. They encourage the body's natural healing process, which results in noticeably thicker and stronger hair. Who is a good candidate for exosome hair therapy? Exosome therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing thinning hair, early-stage hair loss, or those with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia. It is the perfect option for patients looking for a highly effective, non-surgical solution to promote natural hair growth. Note: Those with advanced stages of baldness or completely inactive hair follicles may not experience the same level of success and may be better suited for surgical Hair Transplantation. How does exosome therapy compare to PRP for hair loss? While both exosome therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) use regenerative elements to restore hair, exosomes contain a much higher, standardized concentration of growth factors and more advanced cellular communication tools than PRP. This often leads to more effective, longer-lasting results. Additionally, exosome therapy does not require any blood to be drawn from the patient, making it a faster and more convenient option for those who are uncomfortable with blood draws! Are exosome-based treatments safe for all skin types? Yes! Exosome-based treatments are considered incredibly safe. Because they are derived from natural sources, they are highly unlikely to cause allergic reactions. They are suitable for all skin types, including highly sensitive and aging skin. Dr. Claudia Kim will carefully evaluate your concerns to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific goals. How soon can I expect to see results? For skin rejuvenation, patients often notice a "glow" and improved texture within just a few weeks. For hair restoration, patients generally start seeing improvements in hair texture and density after 2 to 3 months. The most significant hair growth results are typically visible around 6 to 12 months after treatment as the hair follicles continue to strengthen. Can I combine Exosomes with Microneedling or Lasers? Absolutely—and we highly recommend it! Applying exosomes topically immediately after Microneedling or a Laser Resurfacing treatment is one of the most effective ways to anti-age your skin. The micro-channels created by the device allow the exosomes to penetrate deeply into the dermis, multiplying your collagen production while simultaneously cutting your redness and healing time in half! How much does Exosome therapy for hair loss cost? A single session of exosome therapy for hair loss starts at $1,500. However, because hair growth occurs in cycles, our medical team strongly recommends a minimum of 4 sessions to see the absolute best results. When you book one of our packages, the starting cost drops to just $1,200 per session! Do you offer financing for Exosome treatment packages? Yes! We believe that investing in your confidence—whether through skin rejuvenation or hair restoration—should be completely stress-free. We offer highly flexible medical financing options through Cherry, CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, and PatientFi. You can visit our Pricing page to learn how you can break your regenerative package down into manageable monthly payments. How do I schedule my Exosome consultation? Taking the first step toward thicker hair or glowing skin is easy and completely confidential. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to schedule your personalized evaluation with Dr. Claudia Kim!

  • BBL | New Look New Life

    Squats and stair-stepping workouts can help you tone your lower body, but there are limits to what exercise can accomplish for your backside due to age and genetics. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a widely popular cosmetic surgery that can give you that curvy shape you desire while also eliminating unwanted fat. BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT > Our Services > Body Surgeries > BBL BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT IN NEW YORK CITY Squats and stair-stepping workouts can help you tone your lower body, but there are limits to what exercise can accomplish for your backside due to age and genetics. The Brazilian Butt Lift is a widely popular cosmetic surgery that can give you that curvy shape you desire while also eliminating unwanted fat. Get A Quote Frequently asked questions Body Surgeries - BBL What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift? This body contouring surgery is unique from other buttock procedures because it uses your own body fat to contour the derrière instead of a gluteal implant. The fat grafting or fat transfer method allows for less recovery time and ensures natural-looking results. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is ideal for anyone unhappy with their buttock contour who has adequate fat stores to take from other areas. Many of our Manhattan patients want a BBL to address body changes from age, pregnancy, or weight loss. Why should I choose New Look New Life? New Look New Life is dedicated to providing patients with safe and effective cosmetic procedures to help them achieve their ideal look. By choosing us for your cosmetic surgery needs, you can feel confident that our board-certified cosmetic surgeons will not recommend surgery or treatment unless it is the absolute best way to reach your aesthetic goals. Dr. Claudia Kim and our surgery team will do their best to fit your procedure seamlessly into your busy schedule, ensuring you have ample time to recover and show off your results for a big event or vacation. What Are the Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift? Patients undergo Brazilian Butt Lift surgery to: Increase the size and projection of their buttocks Create a balanced, hourglass figure Achieve slimmer contours in the donor areas (like the waist or abdomen) Reduce sagging skin Smooth out the appearance of cellulite Fit better in clothing and swimwear Feel more confident Am I a Candidate for a BBL? You may be a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you are unhappy with the size and shape of your butt. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations of their results, and not smoke. Because a BBL relies on your own tissue, patients must also have enough excess fat on their bodies to safely harvest and inject into the buttocks. What Is Discussed During My Brazilian Butt Lift Consultation? A consultation is necessary to determine your specific needs for your Brazilian Butt Lift. During your consultation, Dr. Claudia Kim will review your medical history and perform a physical evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure. Once confirmed as a candidate, Dr. Claudia Kim will: Discuss your goals for the procedure Take photos Explain your surgical options Create a personalized surgical plan You will also receive an estimated financial plan based on your unique needs. If you are interested in combining your Brazilian Butt Lift with any other cosmetic procedure, that will be discussed during this time. How Can I Personalize My Brazilian Butt Lift? Since everyone has different needs and starting points, your Brazilian Butt Lift is highly customizable. You and Dr. Claudia Kim will determine your ideal donor sites and how much fat needs to be injected to achieve your desired curves. Where Are My Brazilian Butt Lift Incisions Made? Small incisions will be made at your donor sites to harvest the fat using gentle Liposuction techniques. Dr. Claudia Kim will strategically place these small incisions in inconspicuous areas so they are easily hidden. Where Is Fat Taken for a BBL? Common donor sites for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery are the waist, hips, thighs, and abdomen. However, fat can also be taken from the back, arms, or chin depending on where you carry excess weight. Should I Combine My Brazilian Butt Lift With a Tummy Tuck? Many patients choose to combine their Brazilian Butt Lift with a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) to achieve a slimmer, more attractive abdomen. While liposuction techniques remove unwanted fat from the abdomen to inject into the buttocks, sagging skin will not be corrected with liposuction alone. A tummy tuck can eliminate excess skin from the abdomen to create a perfectly flat stomach that highlights your new curves. What Will My Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery Be Like? To properly recover from your Brazilian Butt Lift, you will need to take the first week off from work and other responsibilities to focus on resting. However, you can resume light walking activities almost immediately for a faster recovery. A critical part of BBL recovery is avoiding sitting directly on your buttocks for a designated period to ensure the newly transferred fat survives. Please be sure to closely follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Claudia Kim to minimize your risk of complications and maximize your results. Is Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery Painful? Your Brazilian Butt Lift will be performed under general anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Because of this, you will not feel any pain during surgery. Any soreness or discomfort felt during your recovery can be effectively managed with prescription or over-the-counter medication. Will My BBL Leave Scars? Since only small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to insert the liposuction cannula, scars are minimal and will naturally fade over time. How Much Is a Brazilian Butt Lift in New York? The cost of your Brazilian Butt Lift procedure will depend on the amount of correction needed, the number of donor sites used, and the specific surgical techniques required. Generally, your cost will include surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, operating room fees, and required garments. A consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim will help you determine an accurate financial estimate. Visit our Pricing page to learn more. How should I prepare for BBL surgery? Before surgery, you should plan to take adequate time off work and other obligations to properly rest and recover. Please plan to bring a responsible adult with you to the surgical appointment, as you will be unable to drive yourself home. You will also need a specialized BBL pillow to help you sit without putting pressure on your newly augmented buttocks. When will I see my Brazilian Butt Lift results? Results from your Brazilian Butt Lift surgery will be visible almost immediately! However, swelling and bruising will briefly affect the appearance of your results and may take a few weeks to subside. Your new curves will continue to improve and look more natural over the next few months as a small percentage of the fat is naturally absorbed by the body and the remaining fat permanently settles into place. How long does a Brazilian Butt Lift take to perform? Your Brazilian Butt Lift will take anywhere between two and four hours to complete. This varies based on how much liposuction is required and how much enhancement is needed. Are Brazilian Butt Lifts safe? When performed by a highly experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Claudia Kim, BBL surgery is generally safe. However, risks are present with any surgical procedure. Possible Brazilian Butt Lift risks include bruising, swelling, blood clots, anesthesia risks, or fat embolism. Dr. Claudia Kim utilizes the safest, most up-to-date ultrasound-guided techniques to ensure fat is injected purely into the subcutaneous space (above the muscle) to eliminate the risk of severe complications. Can I finance my Brazilian Butt Lift? Yes! Achieving the hourglass curves you've always wanted should be accessible and stress-free. We offer convenient financing options through CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi to assist you in paying for your procedure. You can check out our Pricing & Financing information to learn how to break your BBL down into manageable monthly payments. Can I combine a BBL with a Mommy Makeover? Absolutely. Because a BBL utilizes fat from areas like the abdomen and waist, it pairs perfectly with other post-pregnancy restorative procedures. Many patients opt to combine their BBL with a Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift to complete a customized Mommy Makeover in a single surgical setting. How do I schedule my BBL consultation? Taking the first step toward your dream body is simple! If you're ready to enhance your curves and contour your waistline, we are ready to help. You can conveniently Book Now directly through our website, or you can call our New York concierge team at (212)-830-6830 to secure your personalized consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim.
