After years of doing things for other people (spouse, partner, children, co-workers, customers, friends, family members), how about now doing something for yourself? Liposuction, a highly successful, long-lasting body contouring procedure, is something you can do for yourself, boosting your self-esteem and creating a new level of satisfaction with your body.

To be self-assured about your face and body, to feel confident and youthful and attractive, has so much to do with how you feel about yourself. For many people, women and men, having plastic surgery or a cosmetic treatment is a highly satisfying way to achieve the beautiful and natural results they desire.

In fact, plastic surgery continues to grow in popularity, with almost 18 million surgical procedures taking place in the U.S. every year, states the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And it’s not only women having cosmetic surgery. Men are also requesting procedures, wanting to look and feel better, younger and more attractive. Which procedures are people asking for? The following are the 10 most common plastic surgery procedures, according to verywellhealth.com.

Ready for a fuller life?

You’re unique, from your breast shape and body structure to where you are in your life and what you want. Shouldn’t your breast implants be too? Now they can be, with Natrelle gummy gel breast implants. You choose the size, shape and “gumminess” of your implant for a breast silhouette that’s unique to you.

Have you been thinking about getting a Brazilian butt lift but keep putting it off, wondering if it’s the right time, if it’s safe, if you can afford it? One suggestion I would like to make is that after doing so much for others — spouses, children, parents and others —and after the very difficult year we’ve just had, now is actually a great time to do something for yourself. Not only will a butt lift greatly improve the shape of your buttocks but also the way you feel about yourself, giving you more personal satisfaction and self-confidence. 

Virtually no procedure (not even Botox®) can do as much to restore your youthful appearance and help you feel like the best “you” you can be as a facelift. Also known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift can dramatically decrease the visible signs of aging caused by gravity, stress, smoking, genetics and sun exposure.

I will say that in my many years of performing this procedure, I have found that the best candidates for a facelift simply want to turn back the clock a little, not drastically alter their facial features. A facelift is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

Out with the old, in with the new

Do you wish you looked better in a bathing suit? Would you like to get rid of sagging skin and excess fat and look trimmer and firmer? Have you always wanted a fuller, rounder butt and higher, plumper breasts? If so, this new year of possibilities might be the perfect time to finally do something for yourself after doing so much for everybody else! It’s true: all the changes to your body brought on by pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can now be beautifully improved with a Mommy Makeover! 

Do you exercise regularly and eat sensibly but still have areas of stubborn fat pockets that just won’t go away? Are you ready to lose those unwanted bulges and become slimmer, trimmer and more toned? If so, you might be a great candidate for liposuction, a highly successful, long-lasting body contouring procedure that can bring about truly dramatic results. Think of it as a new body for the new year!

Today is a great time to get your pre-pregnancy body back!

Now that we’ve finally turned the page on 2020 and are into a new year, what better time to make some changes that will give you the toned, slim, curvy figure you’ve been wanting. No matter what kind of shape you were in before having children, it’s likely that pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding have all taken a toll on your body. Have your breasts drooped, are they smaller than before, have your thighs developed saddlebags, has your tummy become soft and flabby? Good news: a Mommy Makeover can fix all that!

Have you been thinking about getting a Brazilian butt lift but keep putting it off, wondering if it’s safe? If so, I want you to assure you that as a plastic surgeon who has been performing this body contouring surgery for over 20 years, I can confidently say that yes, if done properly, in the right setting, in the right patients, this procedure is safe. In order to avoid any negative outcomes for my patients, I perform all of my surgeries at the Surgical Specialty Center of Westchester, a leading-edge, state-of-the-art facility in Harrison, NY.

In fact, since it was first introduced in 1996, the Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation or BBL) is now one of the most requested plastic surgery procedures I perform in my practice. As well as the Brazilian butt lift, I also offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more shapely body. To learn more, click here.

Every year at about this point in the calendar in my plastic surgery practice, I notice certain trends that are happening, a shift in the type of body procedures and facial treatments patients are asking for. This year, I’m noticing that both men and women want to look fresher, healthier and more toned, but with a minimum of downtime and recovery.

This list of 2020 plastic surgery trends from Allure sums up what I’m seeing, which I share with you here. To help you achieve a more beautiful face and body, I offer a wide array of surgical and non-surgical procedures which you can learn more about here.
