Facelift Alternatives New York City

Facelifts Without the Fuss?

NEW YORK CITY, NY – A potential plastic surgery patient recently inquired about less invasive alternatives to having a facelift.  So, what is the best procedure that works like a facelift with minimum fuss?

The answer is simple.  It’s important to remember why we do facelifts.  Non-invasive procedures will give you a lot of improvement, but you can not get the same results that a facelift would give you.  So when considering your options, you have to have realistic expectations.

Depending on a person’s anatomy, Botox, Restylane, and fillers such as Juvederm and Radiesse, and Thermage are all safe options that can give you great results.  In our practice in New York City, we do these procedures all the time.

Breast Implant Replacement New York City

Should Breast Implants be Replaced every 10 years?

NEW YORK CITY, NY – It is NOT true that breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years. This is a very common idea, but it is not true.  If your breast implants look fine and feel fine, leave them alone.

In New York City, we tell breast aumentation patients who have SILICONE implants to have an MRI of the breasts every 2 or 3 years, because a silicone implant could be leaking and you would not know it .  The silicone gel stays in place whether the implant  shell is intact or not.
