In the world of injectables, there’s one product that stands head and shoulders above the rest. A household name and synonymous with the procedure itself, we’re talking about Botox of course.

Empower Your Summer with Botox or Baby Botox

While you can have fun and socialize any time of the year, there’s really no season quite like summer when it comes to being out and about. When people think about summer, they think of warmth, laughing, smiling, friendship, romance, brunches, days spent at the park or the beach. It’s a time to feel your best, and at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, we know that people often feel their best when they also believe they look their best.

Minimally Invasive – Not Your Mother’s Botox

Injectables have taken the world of cosmetic enhancement by storm. In an industry that was once dominated by procedures that took thousands of dollars, weeks of recovery time, and a dedication to go under the knife all in the name of meeting one’s own aesthetic vision, products such as Botox have become the defacto entry point to improving your appearance. A big reason for this is the sheer value. Compared to many other procedures, getting Botox twice a year is not nearly as costly as surgery—though there are times surgery provides incredible results that could not be obtained otherwise.

Botox’s advantages are:

• Minimally invasive
• Minimal if any pain
• Cost-effective compared to other cosmetic procedures
• In the right hands can enhance your natural appearance

Since its first FDA approval in 2002 for the use of treating frown lines under the name Botox Cosmetic, Botox has tremendously grown in not just popularity, but acceptance. At Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, we often speak of Dr. Greenberg and this practice’s longstanding history in helping destigmatize and educate about cosmetic surgery and enhancements. Through Dr. Greenberg’s numerous media appearances, we believe he’s done just that.

Having administered Botox and other injectables for many years now, Dr. Greenberg and Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology are experienced professionals on the latest trends regarding Botox and how it should be used.

A “less is more approach” with Botox is being used by many young women to enhance their looks and insulate themselves from the effects of aging ahead of time. Botox has become so commonplace and acceptable (a good thing) that even women as low as their early 20s will take advantage of what’s called Baby Botox to beat wrinkles ahead of time.

What is Baby Botox?

Baby botox is regular Botox, just in smaller quantities. An experienced cosmetic professional will know exactly how much to use to get the job done and no more. However, there are many back alley injectors and solo injectors offering Botox for a cheaper price than what you may find at a professional cosmetic practice.

We always recommend patients be very careful in where they choose to get their injectables from. While it may seem like Botox is a simple injection procedure, the injector must understand anatomy, where the many facial muscles are located and how they operate in conjunction, as well as the exact amount of CCs of product to use without creating an overdone look. Choosing your provider carefully will help you avoid becoming a victim to botched botox.

Baby Botox, preventative Botox, whatever you choose to call it, it’s definitely the secret of many A-List celebrities—which ones we’ll never tell!

With the right professionals aiding you, gone are the days of stiff looks and rigid expressions from your mother’s Botox. Getting smaller amounts of Botox every 12-16 weeks can potentially aid in the development of wrinkles or mitigate the appearance of many wrinkle types while keeping a natural and expressive visage.

Transitioning is a highly personal and individualized choice for each person who decides to do so. For those who are seeking to take on a more traditionally feminine appearance, male to female top surgery is one of the go to surgeries for individuals who wish to adopt womanly curves. Alongside transfeminine top surgery in NYC that we offer, there is a myriad of commonly performed procedures that can be utilized by those transitioning to alter their appearance to be more in line with what they envision.

Transfeminine Top Surgery: Breast Implants and Augmentation

The most obvious choice for those who want a more feminine appearance is usually getting breast implants. Today’s breast implants and techniques are truly incredible and can look and feel great.

Whether you’re seeking Gummy Bear Implants or Silicone or Saline Breast Implants, Dr. Greenberg has got you covered. A breast implant consultation can go a long way in helping patients feel more confident in the outcome of the procedure. Dr. Greenberg is also an expert in the 24 hour breast augmentation. Dr. Greenberg is one of the leading breast augmentation professionals in New York.

A consultation will let us know exactly what size and shape breasts you are looking for. Generally speaking, patients will either need to discuss or know beforehand the:

Implant type: Silicone, saline, or gummy bear. However, each type of implant offers their own benefits. Because these implants are filled with saline solution, they are considered to be the safest in the event of a rupture and they are the most cost-effective as well. Silicone are the most common implants on the market today. Since they are filled with a silicone gel as opposed to saline solution, they tend to be lighter and softer. Gummy bear implants also use a type of silicone gel, but the gel is highly cohesive and due to that, retains its shape well after having pressure applied.

Size of Implants: typically, breast implant sizes are measured in CCs or cubic centimeters. How large of an implant the patient desires is of course, up to them. Generally speaking, implant sizes for those undergoing an M to F top surgery are larger unless significant feminization has taken place.

Implant Profile: When considering implants, people typically think about size, but profile is just as important. How much do you want your breasts to protrude out when standing? This is, like all else, a highly subjective choice.

Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is one of New York’s most trusted cosmetic surgery practices. Dr. Greenberg has helped thousands of patients achieve the results they desire in the way they desire.

At Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, we’ve performed many a labiaplasty in NYC. We understand more than anyone that how you feel about your body can greatly impact the way you live your life. This is true of men, but it is especially true of women who are subject to many aesthetic expectations. As cosmetic surgery professionals, we strongly believe that it is important to offer procedures that help people look the way they want to look. One such procedure that has gained a lot of traction in the past decade is the labiaplasty.

What is a Labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is aimed at reducing the size of the labia minora or labia majora. The labia minora are the inner labia and the majora are the outer labia. These flaps of skin on the sides of the vaginal opening are very normal and vary from person to person in size. In 2017, the ASPS released data that indicated the labiaplasty was not only growing in popularity, but it was one of the highest growing procedures in the world.

Should I Get a Labiaplasty? And Is a Labiaplasty Necessary?

If you’re wondering whether a labiaplasty is necessary, it depends on your definition of necessary. Medically speaking, the vast majority of labiaplasty’s are not medically necessary procedures. The labiaplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure with an aesthetic focus. Sometimes, a labiaplasty can be deemed medically necessary if a person’s labia are elongated or lengthy enough to be tucked into the vagina during sex. This can pose a risk for injury or tears to the woman. However, this is rarely necessary.

Outside of the aesthetic changes, some women report benefits from getting a labiaplasty such as lessened pain during sexual activity and greater comfort while wearing tight fitting clothing.

Women who have given birth may consider labiaplasty due to the vaginal changes that pregnancy may introduce. It is a common surgery to get in conjunction with vaginal rejuvenation. Our Modern Mommy Makeover Package addresses many of the top concerns women have post-pregnancy.

So, if you’ve been wondering, “should I get a labiaplasty?”, ask yourself this:

• Are you insecure about the look or appearance of your labia?
• Have you experienced changes in your vaginal appearance due to pregnancy?
• Are you experiencing a loss of sexual satisfaction due to lessened confidence?
• Does the length of your labia cause discomfort during intercourse or when wearing tight clothing?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, a labiaplasty may be right for you.

Is a Labiaplasty Safe?

What’s even more important is finding the right cosmetic surgery practice to ensure your procedure is done to your liking and the highest standards of practice. When performed by an experienced professional, a labiaplasty is a safe and effective procedure.

Is Labiaplasty Painful?

Pain is of course, subjective, but many reports indicate that the pain is mild. Mild pain, discomfort, and swelling are natural a few days following the procedure, but subside after that. Over the counter pain medications can greatly help in reducing discomfort—but patients should always speak to their doctor before taking any medication.

Generally speaking, patients can return to their normal schedules within 1 to 2 weeks after their procedure. It is recommended that patients refrain from sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks after their procedure.

At Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, our mission and business was founded on helping our patients achieve a sense of comfort with their appearance. Cosmetic surgery is a wonderful tool that can help patients change things about themselves that ordinary efforts would not allow. An excellent example is lipedema. Dr. Greenberg of Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology has perfected the fast lipo procedure which he has used to great benefit for his patients that require liposuction but also are on tight schedules or need expedited treatment. Many of these patients suffer from a condition called lipedema, which we will outline today.

What is Lipedema?

Lipedema tends to be confused with the condition known as lymphedema. Not only do these conditions sound similar, but lymphedema can be caused by lipedema. Lipedema is a common disease which affects an estimated 11% of women worldwide. The study provided describes the condition as a disproportionate adipocyte hypertrophy in the lower extremities. In other words, people with lipedema suffer from excessive and disproportionate fat gain in their legs, thighs, and buttocks, and eventually the arms. Primarily a cosmetic issue initially, but once progressed the condition can block the lymphatic systems’ vessels. This leads to a buildup of fluid which is called lymphedema.

The cause of lipedema is currently unknown but the primary suspect for many medical professionals and researchers is that female hormones drive this issue considering that this condition presents overwhelmingly within women.

Lipedema Liposuction Treatment

Lipedema can be treated through a variety of ways such as manually draining the lymphatic system, usage of compression, and to some degree exercise can help. However, by and large one of the best ways to truly alleviate the emotional, psychological, and physical consequences of this lipedema is liposuction.

Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology understands more than anyone that cosmetic surgery isn’t just for whimsical reasons. How we look and see ourselves greatly impacts our confidence and how we move in the world. Lipedema is a lesser known condition in the social world and many people who suffer from lipedema do so despite their best efforts for exercising and keeping their diet in check. This leaves them open to judgments and shaming from people who believe the issues’ origins are obesity. This can further adversely affect their mental and emotional health.

Naturally, many of our patients come from the city where striving to look your best and take care of yourself physically is an ingrained part of the culture. This is especially true of our patients that either live in or summer in the Hamptons where looking beach ready is a crucial element of fashion and presentation.

Thankfully, lipedema liposuction treatment can provide excellent outcomes for patients. Dr. Greenberg of Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is renowned for his 24-hour breast augmentation. That same speed, efficiency, and attention to detail is also present in our practice’s liposuction procedure.

There is no shortage of things that need to be done in a day. You lead a busy life and between social and home obligations, you ask yourself where is there time to do the things you want to do for yourself? The things you deserve? Today, we’re talking about the power of the 24 Hour Rapid Breast Augmentation in Manhattan offered by Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery. With this quick and efficient procedure, you’ll be back to you time in no time!

Traditional Breast Augmentation

What can we say about the traditional breast augmentation procedure that hasn’t already been said? The silicone breast implant was first invented in 1962 by Thomas Cronin and Frank Gerow. The first woman to have it was a Texan named Timmie Jean Lindsey. Since then, the procedure has grown to be one of the most enduring and popular cosmetic procedures of our time and for the time to come.

Breast augmentations have allowed women to not only achieve a physique that they ordinarily could not through exercise and good dietary habits, but the procedure has also allowed many women to put to rest their insecurities about their bodies.

The one downside to what is an otherwise wonderful procedure is the recovery time. Traditional breast augmentation procedure and recovery times can be a hindrance to those who do not have as much time to spare.

Traditional breast augmentation in the first 24-48 hours often has patients experiencing pain and discomfort. Bandages are needed for as long as 10 days, which is a lengthy period of time for individuals who have duties to attend to. In addition to this downtime, it is not recommended to engage in any strenuous activity to avoid aggravating the surgical site.

24 Hour Mini-incision Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation

Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery is proud to offer a sophisticated and efficient breast augmentation procedure that nearly completely mitigates the typical recovery period associated with breast augmentation.

Our 24 Hour Breast Augmentation in Manhattan lives up to its name. More than 90 percent of our patients are able to continue normal day to day activities such as driving or going to work (provided you do not work a labor intensive job). Though it is not advised to exercise during this short post-op period, the vast majority of our patients can lift their arms above their heads immediately after surgery, signaling an excellent level of mobility.

Best of all, many of our patients report needing minimal to no pain medication after the procedure is done. This is thanks to the “mini-incision” portion of the procedure name. A 24-hour breast augmentation is a highly efficient procedure that makes use of both the smaller incisions used to create natural looking results with less pain and swelling, as well as the world class skill of Dr. Greenberg who brings the most out of these procedures.

Reconstructive breast surgery is a procedure that restores a woman’s breast after it has been surgically removed due to cancer or an accident. It can also be done prophylactically, essentially as a preventative measure. Reconstruction is typically performed at the same time as the initial surgery, however, it may be delayed to allow for enough time to pass to ensure cancer has been eradicated. Reconstruction may be achieved through tissue expansion, when no tissue remains or with implants. Here at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Tomer Avraham, MD, FACS, is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon New York whose focus is to assist patients to regain themselves, in appearance and function through reconstructive breast surgery in Manhattan. Let’s examine everything there is to know about reconstructive breast surgery and how it helps patients on a daily basis.

Advanced Breast Reconstruction & Implant Breast Reconstruction

Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology hires only the most qualified and talented surgical and medical professionals to accentuate our robust suite of services.

Dr. Avraham has acquired extensive experience as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon as the Director of Breast Reconstruction at Yale Medical Group, with specific expertise in mastectomy reconstruction and oncoplastic surgery which includes tissue and implant-based techniques. Mastectomies are the process of surgically removing one or both breasts in order to mitigate the spread of cancerous growths. We understand that this is an emotionally devastating experience, but the outcome of successful treatment will make this process well and worth it. 

This treatment has helped millions of women overcome their struggles with cancer, but it doesn’t stop there. Reconstructive breast surgery makes it possible to restore a woman’s bust while boosting their confidence and self-esteem. The team at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery is proud to have helped many patients around the world, and with Dr. Avraham’s extensive experience, we have simplified this process for our patients.

Breasts are considered by many a fundamental part of a woman’s femininity. It’s an integral part of womanhood and it impacts how many ladies feel about their body image. The emotional effects from a modified appearance can be damaging following an initial cancer diagnosis. Reconstruction seeks to help women regain a sense of normalcy. One of the most commonly performed procedures from a plastic and reconstructive surgeon New York is implant placement. This procedure relies on silicone or saline-filled implants to replace lost breast tissue, enhancing the appearance of the breasts.

Direct To Implant Breast Procedure

Direct to implant breast procedures are effective techniques for women that have undergone a mastectomy. It’s a one-step solution that involves placing an implant in the treated area right after surgery, without the need for a flap, graft, or tissue expander. Direct implant gives patients the opportunity to experience recreation of the breast mound and is emotionally beneficial for patients. During the procedure, the implant is put on the chest wall behind the muscle, which closely resembles the process of breast augmentations. Patients will have the option of silicone or saline implants, amongst many other choices. You can discuss the details with Dr. Avraham once you’re ready to move ahead.

The Benefits

When undergoing this procedure with Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, you will notice the many benefits of rhinoplasty for your physical and emotional well-being. Many people are self-conscious about their physical appearance. If you notice a slight imperfection and want to augment it with a cosmetic procedure, you’ll always have the luxury to do this. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of rhinoplasties.

• Increase In Oxygen Supply: When you have a surgery done on your nose, there are millions of air particles passing through it which leads to more oxygen supply for our lungs and bloodstream. This will actually result in a healthier body as well as fresh-smelling breath all day long.
• Heightened Perspective On Life: Rhinoplasty procedures can help people see the world in a new perspective. They tend to look at things differently because of what they’ve gone through and how much pain they’re going through during the recovery period. Even if after has passed, there are still some minor effects that can be felt by those who underwent nose jobs which helps them live life to their fullest.

• Improved Confidence: Once you finally get a rhinoplasty procedure done with a good surgeon, you will finally be able to see yourself in a new light, which you will only get through this surgery. Your overall appearance is improving, which heightens your attractiveness for others and yourself.

Info On Surgery and Recovery Time 

Recovery time for rhinoplasty procedures that are conducted at one of many offices for the celebrity plastic surgeon in Manhattan, Dr. Stephen Greenberg, is minimal. Patients can be discharged shortly after the procedure. The surgery itself can be performed with local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. The procedure takes about 1-2 hours, and patients will only endure mild discomfort when recovering.

Botox and Dermal Fillers are readily available for all patients that are seeking these treatment methods. Here at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, our team of cosmetic surgeons in Upper East Side Manhattan offers a host of Botox And Dermal Fillers treatments .

Our clientele in New York is uniquely diverse, and patients can expect exquisite results, following their treatment sessions. Let’s take a look at the benefits of each of these treatments and how they appeal to patients.

Juvederm

One of the many injectable treatments we offer at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery is Juvederm. Our cosmetic surgeons will use this method to soften the signs of aging and add volume to your face. Juvederm is unique for many reasons and chief among them is the fact that it’s currently the only FDA-approved dermal filler, giving a variety of patients peace of mind in knowing its safety and efficacy. 

Juvederm is made from a smooth gel, derived from hyaluronic acid, which is also naturally produced in our bodies. The filler is injected under the skin and it will instantly smooth out your wrinkles. This leaves patients looking refreshed with a vibrant skin tone. Juvederm is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. 

Restylane

Restylane is another option for our patients in Upper East Side Manhattan, who are looking to rejuvenate their face and in turn, accentuating their natural beauty. Greenberg’s cosmetic surgeons will inject the gel into the skin, as a means of adding volume to your lips and lifting up folds and wrinkles. Restylane is also made with hyaluronic acid and is derived from non-animal substances. 

Some of the most common areas to receive treatment are the marionette lines (from the corner of your mouth to the chin), the nasolabial folds ( the root of the nose to the angle of the mouth), and your lips as well. If you’re interested in learning more about Restylane and the process, you can click here for more information.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a natural, non-invasive solution that can reduce the appearance of lines, and bring back vitality to your skin. The gel in Radiesse is made with a synthetic form of calcium hydroxylapitite (CaHA). It’s then injected into the skin to fill in wrinkles, facial folds, and depressions. CaHA is a main component of our teeth and bones and has been safely utilized in dentistry and orthopedic surgery for many years. The treatment solution can add fullness and contour to the lips, diminish wrinkles between the mouth and nose, reduce scars from surgeries or acne, and it can replenish the contour in the cheeks. The results from Radiesse can last for up to 4 years.

Routine skin checks, especially in the US are important for a variety of reasons. Skin cancer is not something to make light of, as more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the US than other cancers combined.  This further emphasizes the importance for everyone to receive regular skin checks in Smithtown NY every year. Here at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, we encourage all of our patients to get an annual skin exam to ensure that nothing out of the ordinary is forming on your body. November is National Healthy Skin Month, which works to spearhead the initiative for awareness for healthy and radiant skin.

The Importance Of Regular Skin Checks 

Regular skin checks in Smithtown NY are recommended for everyone, but they are especially important for those with a family history of melanoma or skin cancer, adults aged 50+, people with large moles, and others who are at high risk for skin cancer like ranchers and other outdoor professions. Your dermatologists will make you fully aware of how to take care of your skin and what can be done to reduce the likelihood of developing any skin ailments. 

At Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, our team of dermatologists will conduct thorough exams, leaving no stone unturned as your health and wellness is one of our top priorities. As far as the type of screenings that are available, you can receive a full body screening or a melanoma screening. Full bodies require a thorough examination of the entire body. Melanoma screenings are head to toe evaluations. The dermatologist could look for suspicious spots that can be indicative of melanoma or another kind of skin cancer.

Dermatologists are trained to see things that we wouldn’t even think to look into ourselves. They can analyze skin imperfections like lesions, as they can persist and take longer to heal. 

Prevention: What To Know

One of the most obvious ways to prevent the onslaught of these skin conditions is to use sunscreen when out and about at the beach, pool, or if you’re going for a hike. Less than 30% of Americans are using sunscreen. Skin cancer develops from years of damage from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Without the layer of added protection from sunscreen, the chance of developing skin cancer increases. It’s never too late to start a routine. Opt for lotions with an SPF of 30 or higher. Ideally, it should have a broad spectrum coverage, be mineral based, and water resistant. Apply as much as you can, especially if you’re exposed to the sun for several hours.

Tanning beds are another risk factor for developing melanoma or skin cancer. Research has indicated that using a tanning bed increases the chances of melanoma by 20%. Even 1 tanning session can elevate your risk tremendously. 

Taking Care Of Your Skin With Regular Skin Checks in Smithtown NY

Taking care of your skin will serve you for the long term. Dr. Greenberg and the rest of the team at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery value your skin’s health and wellness, as no one wants to willingly deal with the complication that these ailments enforce. Contact Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery today for specific questions about skin checks and seeing a dermatologist.
