CoolSculpting Now for a Spring Body

If you regret the overindulgences of the holiday season as swimsuit weather approaches, now’s the perfect time to do something about it. 

Gotham Plastic Surgery is midtown Manhattan’s exclusive choice for CoolSculpting. This non-surgical procedure allows you to rid yourself of fat deposits on your body’s most stubborn, diet-and-exercise-resistant areas. Gotham’s expert aesthetician, Jill Badalamente, can help you get ready to hit the beach or pool with confidence. 

The Cool Solution

coolsculpting new york results CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a non-surgical treatment performed in a doctor’s office using cold temperatures to eliminate fat cells from your body. This technique has been used in Europe for years and has also gained popularity in the United States with men and women alike. 

CoolSculpting has been featured on television shows such as The Doctors and Good Morning America. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has named CoolSculpting one of their “10 Anti-Aging Technologies to Watch.”  

The device used during your CoolSculpting procedure delivers freezing temperatures through your skin to the body’s fat cells. Using this technique, the fat cells are essentially crystallized and gradually die, resulting in fat reduction over time. The dead fat cells are naturally metabolized and eliminated by your body’s natural metabolic processes. Since fat freezes at a higher temperature than other cells, the surrounding skin and tissue are not affected by the treatment.

This procedure is ideal for people seeking to remove localized fat deposits without surgery or other invasive methods. CoolSculpting can be used on any body area that has proven resistant to your weight loss efforts.

After treatment, patients typically see initial results within four weeks and can expect to achieve their desired body contour within three months.

Your Problem Areas – Solved

Because of our specialized attachments, CoolSculpting can effectively treat and eliminate stubborn fat anywhere it has settled on the body, including:

  • liposuction body contouring diagram in new york Abdomen
  • Stomach
  • Love handles
  • Muffin top
  • Flanks
  • Beneath the buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Above the knee
  • Back fat
  • Arms
  • Gynecomastia (male breasts)
  • Double Chin 
  • Neck

The Natural Approach

The fat cells in the treatment area are frozen immediately during the CoolSculpting procedure. However, results gradually appear several weeks to a few months following the procedure. Changes occur over time as your body naturally absorbs the crystallized fat cells.

Although only one treatment per area is all that is needed in many cases, patients often choose to have CoolSculpting performed on additional body areas after seeing the incredible results! They can also have a second treatment on any area where they wish to reduce fat even more. 

Unless you choose to tell people about your CoolSculpting procedure, no one will suspect you’ve had anything done. They’ll simply assume your fabulous results are the product of your enviable willpower and your diet and workout regimen.

Nonsurgical – No Downtime

CoolSculpting is a completely non-invasive procedure with minimal risk and no required downtime. The most common side effects are numbness, tingling, and minor bruising in the targeted area. These effects are temporary and will resolve within a few weeks.

What’s Hot in Body Contouring: Real Housewives Spill

Featuring jaw-dropping drama and over-the-top lifestyles, The Real Housewives franchise is among the most popular in reality TV. It’s no secret that many (if not most) of the Real Housewives cast members have had plastic surgery in some form, from liposuction to breast augmentation and buttock implants. 

the real housewives logo At Gotham Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, we want to make aesthetic goals attainable for anyone—female or male. Our unique NatraLook™ approach addresses both restorative and transformative changes, producing natural-looking results that boost your aesthetic confidence by enhancing your appearance. 

Focus on the Tummy

New York Abdomen Liposuction Body Sculpt The tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess fat and skin and the tightening of weakened abdominal muscles to flatten and shape a protruding abdomen and waist.

The procedure is beneficial for patients who have stretched skin and muscles due to pregnancy or considerable weight loss. Liposuction alone may be helpful for patients with only localized areas of fat and no excess skin.

Childbirth is one of the most meaningful experiences in a woman’s life. Even while enjoying motherhood, women often wish they could get their pre-pregnancy body back. After having children, women are often left with sagging breasts and enlarged areolas, less definition in the waistline, a sagging abdomen, and stretch marks. 

Cosmetic surgery can help restore youthful contours to the breasts and abdomen – often at the same time. A combination of procedures often referred to as the “mommy makeover” adds procedures like a breast lift, breast reduction, and liposuction to the tummy tuck for a dramatic result. 

Pregnancy leaves many women with stubborn fat pockets in the lower abdomen and decreased definition in the waistline. Women who’ve undergone a C-section often have an area of fat remaining above the surgical scar. In these cases, liposuction can help remove excess fat from the abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, and waist. Liposuction can effectively remove fat deposits after pregnancy, or anytime you discover stubborn pockets of fat, for a sleeker shape.

Breasts and Backsides

breast augmentation before and after Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States—and certainly a favorite among The Real Housewives cast. This procedure places implants into the breast for a fuller, more shapely look.

Breast augmentation can be an excellent option for women dissatisfied with their breast size or those who’ve noticed changes in their breasts from breastfeeding, weight loss, pregnancy, or the aging process. For asymmetrical breasts, this procedure can help provide a balanced look. 

Although breast augmentation will enhance the shape and size of the breasts, it can’t significantly lift drooping breasts. We frequently recommend a combination of breast augmentation and a breast lift to address this concern.

Our New York City plastic surgery clinic offers a variety of breast implant options, depending on a patient’s specific needs. Your procedure will be tailored to your particular desires and body proportions for a beautiful, natural result. Implants can be round or tear-shaped, and a variety of implant types are available.

The Brazilian butt lift has been a popular plastic surgery procedure since the early 2000s and was another favorite of The Real Housewives and other celebrities. However, the procedure has fallen out of favor in the last several years, with record lows in the number of procedures performed. 

Gotham Plastic Surgery offers our exclusive procedure, BodyBanking®, a safe and effective technique that enhances specific areas of the body while reducing others. Since our doctors tailor BodyBanking to the patient’s needs and goals, the technique produces excellent results for any patient.

Liposuction to the Next Level

liposuction before and after new york Liposuction can be ideal for body areas with stubborn fat deposits, including the abdomen, buttocks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs, upper arms, and waist.

Tumescent liposuction is a procedure that gently suctions out excess fat in predetermined areas using a cannula. While the procedure creates a slimmer and smoother appearance, there are limits on the effectiveness of fat removal in resculpting the body. 

Liposuction alone can’t create fuller breasts or shapelier buttocks. Our doctors have improved on the typical liposuction procedure by adding another step that sculpts and shapes the body.

BodyBanking® involves performing liposuction in designated areas and then injecting the removed fat into other areas of the body to achieve the desired results.

After deciding to have her breast implants removed, Emily Simpson of The Real Housewives of Atlanta underwent a fat transfer procedure to add fullness to her breasts. Another cast member used a similar procedure to enhance her buttocks.  

Not Just for Housewives

A Masculine Touch: Plastic Surgery For Men

Whether to stay competitive in the workplace or simply look and feel their best, an increasing number of men are seeking cosmetic procedures to improve their faces and physiques. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, one in every 35 male adults has had a plastic surgery procedure.

With cutting-edge techniques, impressive results, and thousands of satisfied patients, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Philip Miller of Gotham Plastic Surgery in New York City is nationally known for male cosmetic procedures. 

A Rising Trend

Men accounted for 13% of all cosmetic procedures performed in 2020—almost 290,000 procedures total. Women still outnumber men, but the gap is narrowing as more men realize the significant benefits cosmetic procedures can offer in improved appearance and confidence. 

The most popular cosmetic procedures among men included: 

  • Liposuction
  • Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
  • Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
  • Ear surgery
  • Laser skin resurfacing
  • Dermabrasion

Benefits of Plastic Surgery for Men

Increased Confidence

Men have plastic surgery to look and feel better. Some men turn to plastic surgery because they’re unhappy with a particular element of their appearance. Others want to look younger to stay competitive among younger peers at work. 

A Better Body

Some men seek body sculpting procedures to rid themselves of stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction and other procedures can give men a leaner, more defined physique. 

Looking Younger Without Downtime

Men are increasingly embracing injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers, which provide a more youthful, revitalized appearance with no downtime. 

Relief of Medical Conditions

Beyond aesthetic advantages, plastic surgery offers functional benefits. A deviated septum can be repaired during rhinoplasty, back pain from gynecomastia can be relieved by breast reduction surgery, and excess skin following weight loss can be removed with body sculpting procedures. 

Men and Rhinoplasty

rhinoplasty before and after

Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” can resize the nose, minimize the appearance of a bump or hooked bridge, reshape the nasal tip, and improve facial symmetry. When performed by an expert facial plastic surgeon well-versed in aesthetic standards for men, rhinoplasty surgery can masculinize the nose and improve overall facial appearance.

Dr. Miller will perform an in-depth consultation, assess your nose and facial features, and discuss your desired outcome. Using his proprietary NatraLook process, you’ll collaborate in developing a treatment plan to address your concerns and aesthetic goals. 

Men and Facelifts

Facelift and neck lift to rejuvenate the appearance of a male patient by Dr. Miller. After surgery, loose neck skin is gone and jaw is more defined.

Men choose facelifts because they want to look and feel better. Facelift surgery can help turn back the clock and increase confidence. Techniques differ significantly between male and female patients. 

Women typically have facelift surgery to achieve a more delicate, soft look, whereas men seek a rugged, masculine appearance. Men opt for facelift surgery primarily to enhance jawline definition and eliminate loose skin folds in the neck.

Facelift Options

Dr. Miller offers a variety of facelift options for his male patients. By using different approaches and techniques, he can customize each treatment to the precise needs of his patient, ensuring natural, lasting improvement. 

Miller Lift. The Miller Lift is a non-surgical technique using a combination of Botox® for a firmer, lifted appearance and dermal fillers to smooth lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers also restore volume to the contours of the face. Fat eliminators and collagen stimulators complete the Miller Lift.

Micro Lift. Men who prefer a minimally invasive option over facelift surgery may achieve their goals with a Micro Lift. A Micro Lift reduces the early signs of aging and improves the appearance of jowls, sagging skin, and displaced fat on the lower face.

Facelift (rhytidectomy). The traditional facelift is a comprehensive anti-aging procedure, producing dramatic results. The results of facelift surgery can last up to 15 years.

Procedures such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, neck lift surgery, and laser skin resurfacing can be combined with facelift surgery for maximum anti-aging effects. 

The Masculine Jawline

jaw tightening before and after

Creating a more masculine jawline doesn’t necessarily have to involve surgery. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your chin or jawline and want to add definition to those areas, dermal filler injections may offer a non-surgical solution. Dermal fillers boost hyaluronic acid in the skin and restore volume, improving the look of sagging around the jaw.

Non-surgical jawline contouring can:

  • Create a square jawline
  • Minimize the look of jowls
  • Give the jawline a sharper, contoured appearance
  • Strengthen or add proportion to the chin
  • Provide a strong foundation for the face
  • Reduce the effects of age-related volume loss 

Combined with a treatment such as  Kybella®—an injectable procedure that helps eliminate facial fat—non-surgical jaw contouring can help eliminate a double chin. 

Dr. Miller’s exclusive, trademarked G.I. Jaw® procedure sharpens the angle of the mandible and the area underneath the jaw for increased jawline definition. Facial implants can be used in the procedure but aren’t always necessary.

G.I. Jaw® can include any one or more of the following procedures:

Dermal fillers such as Voluma define and enhance the jawline for a more masculine appearance. Kybella targets and destroys fat cells for a sculpted jawline and a better chin profile.

No More ‘Dad Bod’: Liposuction Options for Men

Liposuction is an effective, popular procedure for removing unwanted fat from the face and body. Gotham Plastic Surgery in New York City is one of the nation’s most sought-after plastic surgery offices for men’s cosmetic surgery. His approach and techniques have been customized to the male anatomy. 

Multiple media sources — The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The New York Times, NBC & ABC — have recognized our practice as one of the nation’s top plastic surgery practices for men.

The Facts About Men and Liposuction

liposuction for men before and after in new york

Liposuction is currently the number one cosmetic surgery chosen by men.

The ideal male physique is typically depicted as trim and athletic, with a broad chest and shoulders, a flat abdomen, and narrow hips and waist. However, the aging process can cause fat to accumulate around the chest, waist, abdomen, lower back, and along the chin and neck.

Men often seek liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat that has proven resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can help sculpt these areas into a more youthful, leaner, athletic appearance — achieving a toned and defined look.

Liposuction is also frequently used to treat gynecomastia and pseudo-gynecomastia to reduce excess male breast tissue.

Men vs. Women

The liposuction procedure is essentially the same for males and females, although fat deposits on the male physique often appear in different areas than on the female body.

Many of our patients at Gotham Plastic Surgery in New York City, NY, are men. Our doctors’ experience and innovation in cosmetic procedures for men make them uniquely qualified to help achieve your desired results.

Liposuction Options

liposuction for men before and after in new york

Popular liposuction techniques include tumescent liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Compared to traditional liposuction methods, these options offer more precise fat removal and quicker recovery times. 

During tumescent liposuction, a mixed solution of saline, lidocaine, and a small amount of adrenaline (to decrease bruising and bleeding), is injected to ease the removal of fat. 

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction involves the application of ultrasonic energy to liquefy the fat before removal.

Tumescent liposuction is the most commonly used technique, primarily when fat removed from one area will then be used to sculpt or enhance another area of the body. 

What to Expect from the Procedure

You may be given local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or an epidural. Small incisions are made in the treatment area, through which a narrow, blunt-tipped tube known as a cannula is inserted. The surgeon manipulates the cannula to disrupt the fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body.

Liposuction typically takes between 1-3 hours, depending on the size and number of treatment areas and the amount of fat being removed. 

Expect to experience some bruising, pain, and swelling. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication for your comfort and antibiotics to help reduce the risk of infection.

Patients must wear a compression garment for several weeks following their procedure to control swelling and help support the body’s new contours. Swelling and bruising generally subside within about three weeks. 

You’ll see an immediate change in your body shape after your procedure, with continued improvements becoming visible as swelling diminishes. Most patients resume work within a few days, although strenuous activity should be avoided for 2-4 weeks.

A healthy diet and exercise regimen will help you maintain your results. 

Adding Body Banking for a Full Contouring Experience

Body banking with fat transfer to the pecs and shoulders by Dr. Steinbrech. After surgery, abdomen is more chiseled and upper body is more contoured.

The combination of a slowing metabolism and the aging process can make it challenging to achieve your ideal body through diet and exercise alone. 

Our board-certified plastic surgeons offer patients at Gotham Plastic Surgery our exclusive BodyBanking® procedure. During this procedure, your doctor redistributes the fat to sculpt and contour other areas of the body, such as the pectoral, bicep, or gluteal areas. This innovative method of body contouring, combined with his MuscleShadowing® technique, can transform your body and help you attain your aesthetic goals. 

Is Male Liposuction Right For You?

The best candidates for liposuction have realistic expectations, are within a healthy weight range, but are bothered by stubborn fat deposits in specific body areas. Results are best on skin that has a healthy elasticity.

If you smoke, it’s strongly recommended that you quit well before your procedure to facilitate quicker healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Liposuction is not recommended if you have diabetes, a weak immune system, heart disease, or other major health problems.

5 Beautiful Steps to Take in 2022

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes us think about how we can improve. Everyone wants to look and feel their best. Maybe you’d like to change the size or shape of your nose or dramatically turn back the clock on the aging process. Perhaps your goal is a more defined jawline or a sculpted physique.

These goals are within your reach in 2022, and the expert surgeons at Gotham Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, New York, can help you take steps to achieve them. Gotham Plastic Surgery helps patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a full range of surgical and non-surgical facial and body procedures.

1. Enhance Your Nose with Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty to remove nasal hump and refine tip by Dr. Miller. After surgery, dorsal hump is gone and nasal tip is slightly rotated for a more attractive profile.

Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that refines the nose by altering its size, shape, and contours. Depending on your needs and goals, the results can be subtle or dramatic. Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Philip Miller will assess your nose and other facial features to help you attain facial symmetry.

The benefits of rhinoplasty include: 

  • Reducing or increasing the size of the nose 
  • Modifying the width of the nostrils 
  • Changing the angle or shape of the nose’s tip
  • Altering the distance between the nose and upper lip
  • Aligning a hooked or crooked nose
  • Removing a bump from the bridge of the nose
  • Bringing the nose into proportion with other facial features

One significant advantage of rhinoplasty is that it offers a permanent solution to an aesthetic concern. Once the surgery is complete and the nose has healed, patients enjoy their improved appearance and confidence for a lifetime. 

2. Improve Aging Symptoms with a Facelift

Facelift, neck lift, and dermabrasion to refresh the appearance of a female patient by Dr. Miller. Surgery and skin treatment reduce the appearance of wrinkles and jowl formation, leaving skin softer and smoother.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts, tightens, and smooths the facial skin to reduce the signs of aging. A facelift may include the removal of excess skin, the smoothing of folds and wrinkles, and the tightening of facial tissue. 

A traditional facelift focuses on the lower portion of the face, jawline, and jowls. It can be performed concurrently with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or a neck lift.

Dr. Miller also offers the innovative, minimally invasive Micro Lift procedure, which is designed to mimic the appearance of pulled-back hair. The procedure takes less than an hour, is performed under local anesthesia in the office, and is virtually painless. A Micro Lift is an excellent option for patients who aren’t ready for a full facelift or don’t want to commit to a lengthy recovery period.

If you prefer a non-surgical option, the Miller Lift may be right for you.

A Miller Lift, also known as a liquid facelift combines Botox® and dermal fillers to provide a lifted, firm appearance while softening and filling out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers help restore youthful facial contours by adding volume to the cheeks, chin, and lips. Collagen stimulators and fat eliminators add to the procedure’s effectiveness.

What can a Miller Lift achieve?

  • Reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, folds, and creases
  • Give your facial features a gentle lift
  • Enhance your cheeks, chin, and jawline
  • Restore the fullness and contours of your face
  • Provide a rested, revitalized appearance

Dr. Miller consults with each patient before performing procedures via his proprietary NatraLook® Experience. This enables you to collaborate with him in developing a customized treatment plan that will ensure you achieve your desired results.

3. Refresh Your Appearance with Injectable Treatments

before and after results from Botox injections in NYC, NY

Gotham Plastic Surgery’s injectable treatments are quick and minimally invasive, allowing you to achieve a more youthful, fresh appearance with no downtime.

Neuromodulators, or wrinkle relaxers such as Botox® Cosmetic, work by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. Since the injected muscle can’t contract, dynamic wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is used most often on frown lines, forehead lines, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes.  

As we age, we lose subcutaneous fat that supports the skin. Dermal fillers boost the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid and add volume, instantly restoring facial contours and smoothing wrinkles and creases. RHA fillers are designed with Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) to move with the face.

For optimal results, wrinkle relaxers can be combined with dermal fillers, as our expert physicians do with the liquid facelift. 

4. Rejuvenate the Neck and Jawline

jaw tightening before and after

If a more defined lower face and neck is your goal, you may want to consider NeckTite™ .

This procedure eliminates excess fat from the neck while tightening and contouring loose or sagging skin for a firmer, smoother, younger-looking neck.

Perfect for treating small areas such as the neck and jowls, this minimally invasive liposuction technique is an excellent alternative to surgical procedures like a neck lift or facelift.

With the specific goals of men in mind, Dr. Miller designed his proprietary G.I. Jaw® technique to enhance the chin and jawline for a masculine, chiseled look. 

The G.I. Jaw® procedure may include any (or a combination) of the following: 

  • Injectable treatments such as Voluma®, Botox®, Restylane®, Juvéderm®, and Kybella® 
  • Liposuction
  • Neck-Tite 
  • Facial implants

Chin and jaw injections are minimally invasive with no downtime required and long-lasting results.

What is Body Banking?

Stress, poor lifestyle habits, and aging may lead to the reduction of muscle mass, resulting in the lack of body definition. This may also lead to fat accumulation in the waist, stomach, love handles, thighs, buttocks, and other areas. Unfortunately, age and slow metabolism can render all your diet and exercise efforts less effective. And while liposuction is a medically proven way to “slim out” certain body parts, fat removal is not always enough to achieve the more sculpted physique that most men desire. 

Our board-certified plastic surgeons take liposuction to a whole new level with a revolutionary technique that optimizes body sculpting results. Our Body Banking® procedure combines liposuction with selective fat transfer, effectively transforming your body into a sculpted, natural-looking powerhouse.

Body Banking Basics

Body banking is Gotham Plastic Surgery’s high-definition approach to body contouring, giving our patients in Manhattan the opportunity to not only eliminate stubborn fat but also redefine and reshape their body’s contours. The cosmetic procedure involves designating specific areas for fat removal, using proper fat-purification techniques, and introducing fat to parts of the body to produce the desired results. We use the patient’s own body fat as tissue filler material to shape and sculpt the body and create the appearance of muscle enhancement. 

How Body Banking Gets Rid of Stubborn Fat

A body banking procedure involves the tried-and-true fat reduction technique known as liposuction. We perform liposuction on an outpatient basis at the JCAHO-accredited office-based surgery facility at Gotham Plastic Surgery in New York. The procedure involves injecting saline solution into the fatty donor sites to enable a more fluid collection of fat. Then, through a small incision, we insert a blunt-tipped cannula under the skin until it reaches the adipose tissue (fat). Suctioning begins, and the fat collected undergoes a purification process. The incision site will then be cleaned and disinfected, and the incisions are sutured closed.

Body Contouring on a Whole New Level

body banking before and after results in NYC, NY

The selective fat transfer process follows the liposuction procedure. Our motto, TURN FAT TO FIT®, perfectly summarizes the technique’s main goal. While fat placement seems counterintuitive to achieving a leaner, more toned physique, there are many advantages to transferring fat when it comes to body contouring. The initial liposuction procedure accomplishes the first step of muscle enhancement – removing fat layers that obstruct the view of muscle definition. 

Selective fat transfer involves harvesting fat of the highest quality. The fat undergoes a purification process, so it can be redistributed to the recipient sites. We transfer purified fat below the skin through a series of injections using a mini cannula. Areas where selective fat transfer is performed (e.g., shoulders and pectorals) will benefit from the strategically placed fat by achieving the appearance of muscle enhancement.

Benefits of Body Banking

Body banking provides results that cannot be achieved with liposuction alone. Only body banking can elevate the typical fat reduction technique into a more precise procedure that literally chisels and sculpts various regions of the body. Furthermore, it is a safe and effective technique. The patient’s own fat provides a safe filler material, one that the body’s immune system recognizes. This means rejection won’t be a concern. 

Additionally, fat is a naturally occurring material in the body which means it will look and feel natural to the human touch. And since we tailor body banking to the patient’s specific needs and goals, the custom-created technique produces excellent results.

With body banking, patients are essentially benefitting from two procedures in one session. Therefore, it is a time-saving and cost-effective procedure. Body banking is relatively quick to perform too – it takes about an hour to complete and offers instant results. Additionally, the new muscular contours achieved by body banking can last for years, and may even be permanent.

Treatment Areas for Body Banking

We use selective fat transfer to enhance the following areas:

  • Pectorals
  • Shoulders 
  • Biceps
  • Triceps 
  • Gluteal Muscles
  • Calves

Body Banking vs. Traditional Liposuction

body banking body contouring before and after results in New York CityTraditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves gently suctioning out excess fat in predetermined areas using a cannula. While the procedure creates a slimmer and smoother appearance, there are limits on how far fat removal can go when it comes to sculpting the body. Liposuction alone can’t add shape and fullness to the legs, nor can it create gladiator abs or bigger biceps. We improve on the standard liposuction procedure by adding an extra step that shapes, sculpts, and adds more dimension to the body. To learn more about traditional liposuction, please visit ncbi.gov.

A body banking procedure using tumescent liposuction will also take less time to perform than a traditional liposuction procedure. Most patients will only spend about an hour in the operating room for body banking. Traditional liposuction patients, on the other hand, could undergo a longer procedure, sometimes taking up to 5 hours, depending on how much tissue is being removed and the number of treatment areas. Any discomfort is minimal, and body banking offers lower downtime than most traditional liposuction procedures.

How To Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon in NYC For You

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is not as simple as doing an online search and finding the nearest doctor who “seems like a good fit” to perform your desired procedure. Nor should you choose one who is the most entertaining on social media.  Whether going for a facelift or rhinoplasty  procedure, choosing the best plastic surgeon involves plenty of research, consultations, and conversations. After all, you will have to live with the results of your plastic surgery for many years, if not for the rest of your life.

By investing time to do your homework, you’ll be in a better position to choose a surgeon in Manhattan, New York who will deliver beautiful, natural-looking results while safeguarding your health.

Find a Plastic Surgeon Who Specializes in What You Want 

plastic surgeon, Dr. Philip Miller consulting with a patient in NYC Cosmetic surgery encompasses a whole spectrum of surgical as well as non-surgical procedures, and each area of cosmetic surgery will require a different set of skills. Operating on a nose, for instance, involves working with bone and cartilage which are completely different from operating on breasts which mostly consist of soft tissue. Choose a surgeon who is not only board-certified in cosmetic surgery, but has substantial experience in the procedure you want. 

Plastic Surgeons vs. Facial Plastic Surgeons

Plastic surgeons are trained in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the entire body, including the face. Their training is more comprehensive, with a less exclusive focus on the face and neck. Facial plastic surgeons, on the other hand, are specifically trained in procedures exclusively for the face and neck. This means facial plastic surgeons have specialized knowledge of the complex anatomy and function of the face and neck, and a deeper understanding that both aesthetics and function are critical to achieving optimal results. 

Experience, Expertise at Gotham Plastic Surgery

Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Philip Miller, is considered one of the country’s leading experts in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. He specializes in cosmetic facial procedures and can create custom treatment plans that combine minimally invasive treatments, innovative surgical techniques, and advanced technology to help patients achieve the best version of themselves. He has over 20 years of experience within the facial plastic surgery industry and has performed over 5,000 successful surgeries. His approach combines art and science with skill and innovation to provide thousands of patients in Manhattan, New York with natural-looking results that exceed their goals.

Dr. Miller offers customized treatments using his own patented NatraLook. The NatraLook process ensures patients undergo an enriching experience in which they achieve results that are rewarding in both physical and emotional ways. Procedures Dr. Miller offersinclude:

Rhinoplasty

rhinoplasty results from facial plastic surgeon in NYC Rhinoplasty can improve the nose’s appearance by reshaping, reducing, or augmenting the nose, removing a hump, narrowing the nostril width, or changing the angle between the nose and mouth. In addition to aesthetics, Dr. Miller can also improve nasal function by correcting injuries, birth defects, and certain breathing problems. 

Facelift

Also known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is designed to counteract the signs of aging in the mid to lower face and neck, such as wrinkles, deep creases, jowls, loose folds, and fat deposits. During surgery, Dr. Miller tightens muscles and removes excess fat and skin to restore a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance.

Blepharoplasty

Also known as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, a blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids to improve a puffy, sagging, or tired appearance. The procedure results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the eyelids. Dr. Miller can perform blepharoplasty for cosmetic purposes, such as to improve aging symptoms or for functional reasons, such as droopy eyelids that interfere with the patient’s field of vision.

Consider Their Education and Experience

The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) formed a board exclusively dedicated to a cosmetic surgeon’s education, training, and certification – and this is one of the most dependable ways of finding out if a surgeon is properly trained and experienced in cosmetic surgery.

plastic surgeon, Dr. Philip Miller looking at a patient's nose in NY, NY ABCS is a certifying board that tests a surgeon’s knowledge and experience exclusively in cosmetic surgery. Their surgeons have completed a fellowship (1-2 years) where they have trained exclusively in cosmetic surgery and patient care. Furthermore, their surgeons are carefully screened to ensure the highest level of patient safety, ethical practice, and outstanding moral character.

In addition to the surgeon’s education and credentials, experience matters too. The more times a plastic surgeon performs a particular procedure, the better your results will likely be. Experience is what allows a plastic surgeon to prevent or recognize surgical complications should they occur, or develop the aesthetic eye to create pleasing results.

Ask how many patients with your specific concern the plastic surgeon has treated. If you need a specific procedure, ask how many of the procedures the doctor has performed and find out about complication rates (complications the doctor has encountered, as well as your own risk of complications). 

Read Patient Reviews & Testimonials

Doing your homework and reading what other people have to say about a surgeon will provide a lot of insight into how a doctor communicates with his patients or how he performs his procedures. Patient reviews can reflect other people’s entire journey –from scheduling appointments and wait times in the office to the hospital environment, staff friendliness, and overall patient care. You can also speak with friends and family that you trust can provide honest opinions.

Take your time and don’t rush the decision-making process. You need to feel 100% comfortable with your surgeon and their support team. As you narrow down your list, call each surgeon’s office to see if he or she is accepting new patients. If so, request an appointment to meet and interview the plastic surgeon. 

For something as invasive and life-changing as plastic surgery, choose a surgeon who will not only achieve results based on your unique needs and goals, but someone who can provide the support and care you need before, during, and after your procedure.

Consider the Cost

Cost is another critical factor in selecting the right plastic surgeon for you. Keep in mind that like other things in life, you “get what you pay for,” when it comes to plastic surgery. The cost of cosmetic surgery typically represents the surgeon’s skill and experience, as well as the quality of care you can expect to receive.

Say Goodbye to the Dad Bod with These Procedures

Women may be known for it, but many men also care about their appearance, which motivates them to stay youthful and fit. Whether it’s keeping a competitive edge in the workplace or simply looking their best, men are beginning to embrace the benefits of cosmetic procedures, especially those that can help them achieve slimmer and more toned physiques. 

With innovative techniques, impressive results, and thousands of satisfied patients, Gotham Plastic Surgery is your number one choice for plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures in New York, Manhattan. Our doctors lead the new wave of techniques in the rapidly advancing field of men’s aesthetics. 

The Male Trend

male plastic surgery treatment results in NYC A man’s physical competencies and muscle strength generally reach their peak between 20-30 years of age and then begin to change. The reduction of male hormones, combined with a diminished response to strength training, leads to a natural loss of muscle mass. Men also tend to steadily gain weight from age 30 to 55. Since men typically carry excess weight around the waist, they often develop a pot belly or love handles. 

Men’s body goals differ from women’s. Men don’t want to look thin but more toned and defined. They want to get rid of the spare tire and love handles while also achieving obliques and contours that make them look younger and stronger. And men are more willing to turn to cosmetic procedures to help make those goals a reality today. The numbers say it all. According to an ASPS report, 1.1 million men in the US underwent cosmetic procedures in 2020. Liposuction made up 22,815 of those procedures, while 18,575 men underwent breast reduction (gynecomastia).

Liposuction Options

male liposuction results in NYC, NY

Liposuction is a clinically proven method of eliminating fat cells and reducing the size of the waist, abdomen, upper arms, hips, thighs, and other areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. 

Our plastic surgeons perform liposuction on an outpatient basis at his JCAHO-accredited plastic surgery clinic at Gotham Plastic Surgery. Depending on the size and number of treatment areas, as well as the amount of fat to be removed, liposuction may take anywhere from 1-2 hours to complete. We may administer local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or an epidural. 

We make very small incisions in the treatment area, through which a narrow, blunt-tipped tube known as a cannula is inserted. We will then manipulate the cannula to disrupt the fat cells which are then suctioned out. The result is a slimmer, more contoured body shape.

Advanced liposuction techniques offer several advantages over traditional liposuction, including more precise fat removal and quicker recovery times. Examples of advanced liposuction techniques include:

  • Tumescent liposuction – We first inject a saline (salt water) solution that includes a local anesthetic called lidocaine and a small amount of adrenaline to help decrease bruising and bleeding. 
  • Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) – Ultrasonic energy is first applied to liquefy the fat before we remove it through the cannula.

We also performs high-definition liposuction: an innovative approach that uses more precise methods to create more chiseled contours. The technique not only allows us to enhance abdominal muscles, but also the back, arms, calves, and thighs for a complete body transformation.

Body Banking: An Innovative Approach to Body Contouring

body contouring for men results in New York City

We combine our high-definition liposuction with a proprietary procedure known as body banking, our signature fat transfer procedure that takes body contouring to a whole new level.

Body fat makes for a source to shape and sculpt areas of the face and body. The method involves designating specific areas for fat removal, using proper fat-purification techniques, and introducing fat to parts of the body to produce the desired body contours. 

We use selective fat transfer to enhance areas like the pectorals, shoulders, biceps, triceps, glutes, and calves. The strategically placed fat provides the appearance of muscle enhancement, providing that coveted chiseled look. We can perform body banking on its own or with the addition of silicone implants. 

Implants for Everyone

male pec implants surgery results in NY, NY Despite dieting, exercising, and weight lifting, some men simply cannot build or define certain body parts like the chest, pectoral muscles, calves, and buttocks. In these situations, body implants can help restore balance and enhance the male body shape. Implants are made of soft but solid silicone that mimics natural tissue or muscle. When inserted, they can shape the following areas:

  • Triceps
  • Biceps
  • Pectorals
  • Deltoids
  • Hips 
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks

These implants are long-lasting and provide men a permanent change to their physiques.

The Torso Tuck for a Full Lift

male torso tuck surgery results in Manhattan, NY For men who have lost a significant amount of weight rapidly, one side effect they may experience is excess flab and skin. This can make any man lose confidence, especially when wearing a swimsuit or during intimacy with a partner. Our torso tuck procedure can address this problem by removing loose skin to create smoother and sleeker body contours.

During the procedure at his NYC plastic surgery clinic, which is typically done under general anesthesia, we make incisions near the buttocks, inner thighs, or near the bottom of the stomach. Excess skin is removed and smoothed firmly over the new body contour. The incisions will be closed via sutures. In addition to removing excess skin, we may add some body banking to further sculpt the body. 

What No Man Wants to Talk About: Gynecomastia Treatments

male breast reduction surgery results in NYC,NY Enlarged male breasts, medically referred to as gynecomastia, affects more than 60% of the male population at some stage in life. Whether caused by medications, heredity factors, hormonal imbalance, or being overweight, gynecomastia is often a sensitive topic for men.

For men who are unable to resolve gynecomastia symptoms despite initial efforts, we can help improve its appearance and restore a firmer, flatter male chest. There are two surgical methods for treating enlarged male breasts: liposuction surgery, which removes breast fat only, and male breast reduction surgery, which removes breast gland tissue. 

We have developed a unique technique for breast reduction surgery using mini-incisions to remove the glandular tissue and fat without a larger incision that can leave visible scarring. We can give patients more natural-looking results, as well as more confidence in their toned, well-contoured bodies.

Surefire Signs of Plastic Surgery

Patients who undergo facial plastic surgery procedures have a common goal: to achieve a youthful, enhanced look without displaying telltale signs of surgery. Because the most successful plastic surgery outcome is the one that no one else can see.

Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS, knows the best, most innovative techniques to produce natural, beautiful results. Dr. Miller specializes in cosmetic facial procedures and is one of the country’s leading experts in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. By creating comprehensive and customized procedure plans and delivering the highest level of care at his plastic surgery clinic in Manhattan, New York, Dr. Miller can help you achieve your aesthetic goals without leaving behind the following clues that you’ve had anything done.

Facelift Tip-Offs 

facelift before and after results included in blog about signs of plastic surgery in NYC A facelift is a powerful procedure that can tackle severe wrinkles, droopy jowls, and restore more youthful contours, producing dramatic results. However, it is a complex surgery, and mistakes can happen.

Noticeable Incisions 

Visible scars are glaring signs of plastic surgery. Generally, facelift incisions run from the hairline at the temple and continue in front of and behind the ears and extend to the lower scalp. If a surgeon does not strategically position the incisions, that is, if they’re not within the highlights and shadows to blend in on the face, even the thinnest, flattest scar will become conspicuous.

Pixie Ear 

When a surgeon secures a facelift only to the skin instead of the ear’s cartilage, and if the skin is pulled too tightly, the earlobes may begin to droop over time, resulting in an elongated look. To learn more about pixie ear, please visit pubmed.gov

Unnatural Facial Expressions 

Have you met someone with a permanently surprised look on their face? Are they showing a severely “pulled” look that prevents them from shifting facial expressions? Especially if they’re over 60 and sporting wide-awake eyes and a windswept look, they most likely underwent a facelift with an inexperienced surgeon.

Rhinoplasty Fizzles

rhinoplasty before and after results included in blog about signs of plastic surgery in New York City Rhinoplasty is a highly challenging procedure that is very difficult to master. The nose itself is a complex structure, making missteps a common occurrence when an inexperienced surgeon is involved. 

Pollybeak Deformity 

When a surgeon does not remove enough cartilage above the nose’s tip or when the tip falls because of lack of support, undesired results in the form of a “pollybeak deformity” can occur. Resembling a parrot’s beak, a pollybeak deformity is characterized by showing an unnatural fullness at the nasal tip.

Over-Rotated Tip

Overrotation of the nasal tip takes place when the surgeon attempts to correct a droopy tip by shaving off cartilage or septum too aggressively which ends up shortening the nose’s length and causing an upturned look.

Bridge Abnormalities 

When the surgeon removes a bump incorrectly and the cartilage is not supported, or when they shave off too much dorsum, an inverted-V deformity or scooped-out appearance of the nose on the profile view can occur.

Blepharoplasty Flops 

blepharoplasty before and after results included in blog about signs of plastic surgery in NY, NY When performing blepharoplasty, the surgeon’s goal is to modify the configuration and contours of the eyelids by removing excess fat, skin, and muscle. Due to the intricate nature of the eye’s anatomy, errors can happen.

Unnatural Crease Above the Eye

A scar can easily hide within the natural crease on the upper eyelids, but when surgeons misplace the incision, the eyelid’s shape can change, resulting in an asymmetrical and unattractive look.

Lower Lid Hangs Too Low

Lower lid surgery is an extremely delicate procedure where every micro-centimeter counts. Positioning the lower lid incorrectly can dramatically alter the eyes’ shape and make them appear to be different sizes.

Visible Scarring 

Eyelid scars are more noticeable when they are depressed, and they typically result from excessive removal of muscle or connective tissue.

Liposuction Fails

liposuction before and after results included in blog about signs of plastic surgery in NYC While liposuction is clinically proven to safely and effectively minimize unwanted fat, results may still look all wrong when not performed properly.

Visible Scarring

Liposuction scars are typically 2mm in length and should be barely visible. When significant scarring occurs, it can be due to poor incision placement during the procedure.

Irregular Contours 

A successful liposuction procedure should be able to smooth away isolated pockets of fat to form a more desirable shape. Uneven fat removal will result in lumpy, irregular contours.

Sagging Skin 

Experienced plastic surgeons should be well aware of the impact the skin elasticity has on overall results. Knowledge of certain liposuction techniques would also help encourage the skin to tighten back up. If a surgeon removes too much fat, performs the procedure on patients who already have loose skin, or does not comply with the weight limit associated with the liposuction procedure, visible laxity may become more pronounced after surgery.

Botox Gone Wrong 

Botox before and after results included in blog about signs of plastic surgery in NYC While Botox® Cosmetic injections do a wonderful job at non-surgically rejuvenating the face, the procedure is more of an art form. Without a trained aesthetic eye, wrong placement or incorrect dosing of Botox or another neuromodulator like Xeomin, Dysport, or Jeuveau can occur and produce unnatural-looking results. 

Altered Brow Line 

When performed incorrectly, Botox Cosmetic injections to the forehead can distort the eyebrows, giving the patient a super arched or “sinister” look. In other cases, a slight miscalculation during the procedure can cause Botox to migrate over to the eyelid muscles, causing a drooping effect. This, however, is uncommon in experienced hands.

Frozen Forehead

The real art of Botox Cosmetic injections lies in making the results subtle. So, when the surgeon incorrectly calculates the dosage and injects too much Botox in the forehead or other areas, the patient can end up with an unnatural appearance or what many describe as the “frozen look.”

Unnatural Facial Expressions

Having a frozen look will result in an expressionless face. And a face that can’t move is unattractive. We want to be able to show how we are feeling, right?

It is crucial to look for a surgeon who has your best interests at heart and won’t continue to add more Botox when you really don’t need it. This is the reason behind Dr. Miller’s NatraLook approach. The process expands the typical procedure experience for patients by creating the opportunity to explore their Aesthetic Confidence® in a supportive and positive environment. By allowing patients to become active participants in their journey, they can create a unified vision of their desired results.

5 Reasons to Start Body Contouring Now

While there is no definitive rule on the best time to have cosmetic surgery, there are several benefits to working on your body contouring goals during the colder months. “Summer bodies are made in the winter,” as the popular fitness mantra goes. It holds true because why wait until the last minute to give yourself your dream body when chilly weather gives you the best excuse to comfortably recover at your own pace?

body contouring results in New York City, NY At Gotham Plastic Surgery in New York, Manhattan, we want to make aesthetic goals attainable by helping you work on your concerns now. We create custom treatment plans that combine surgical and minimally-invasive techniques to help you achieve the best version of yourself. Our unique NatraLook approach addresses both restorative and transformative changes, producing natural-looking results that boost your aesthetic confidence by enhancing your appearance. If you are considering any body contouring procedure, Dr. Philip J. Miller shares the following reasons why the cold season is the perfect time to do it:

1. Hide Under Loose Clothing While You Heal

Baggy, comfortable clothing are your best friends while you heal. Loose, chunky shirts, soft, stretchy pants, and layers of extra fabric are the best way to camouflage the after-effects of surgery. Cooler weather and its corresponding wardrobe not only cover up bruises and sutures, but they make wearing post-op compression garments more comfortable too. Compression garments, which are used for support and to control swelling, can be thick and uncomfortable, making you hot and sweaty especially during the summer. Cooler weather coupled with loose-fitting clothes will enable you to heal more comfortably.

2. Cooler Temps Keep Swelling Down

Whenever you encounter swelling on any part of your body, you might instinctively grab an ice pack. That is because cold application slows down the blood flow which in effect, controls and relieves the swelling. Recovering during the cooler months will also help keep post-operative swelling under control. Typically, a body that is in the process of healing will have blood vessels that are pushed closer to the surface of the skin to dissipate heat, and this results in swelling. In chilly weather, the body does not have to work as hard to dissipate heat, helping to control any post-op swelling.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure

Sun exposure should be avoided after most surgeries. Your incisions are very sensitive, and UV light increases your risk of scarring and pigmentation. During the spring months, there is considerably less sun, and you will be covered in layers of clothing. Furthermore, the chilly weather will make you more likely to spend more time inside and away from the sun, making these months your best chance to avoid the damaging effects of UV light.

4. Feel Confident At Upcoming Gatherings

As more people get the COVID-19 vaccine, we’ll soon graduate from video calls to real social gatherings where we can physically interact with family and friends. Undergoing your body contouring procedures now means you’ll be fully recovered in a few months, allowing you to show off your amazing results with utmost confidence. In addition to finally seeing those you love in person, you will be able to do so looking and feeling your absolute best!

5. Swimsuit-Ready by Summer

Summer is still a short time away, giving you time to recover–whether you’re waiting for incisions to heal, treated areas to shrink and tighten, or implants to settle. By having your body procedures done now, you will give your body the healing time it needs and achieve full results before the skin-baring days of summer arrive. Once the temps rise, you will be ready to flaunt your new body by the pool or on the beach.

With a combination of experience, skill, and state-of-the-art technologies, we can provide patients with slimmer, more toned bodies with beautiful contours. At our New York, Manhattan plastic surgery clinic, some of our most requested body contouring procedures include:

Body Banking

Ideal for male body contouring, body banking is an innovative body-shaping procedure that allows the transfer of fat from one part of the body to another to sculpt the perfect physique.

body contouring treatment results in NYC, NY

Why choose body banking?

  • Your own fat provides a safe material recognized by the body’s immune system, so rejection is not a concern.
  • There are multiple areas that can be treated with fat transfer, including the shoulders, pectorals, biceps, triceps, glutes, and calves. These muscle groups can benefit from strategically placed fat to provide the appearance of toned muscles and a more shapely physique.
  • Our doctors can produce custom, natural-looking improvements with long-lasting results.

Neck-Tite

Your body isn’t the only area that can benefit from a pre-summer makeover. Neck procedures will rejuvenate the lower face and neck to make you more confident in your favorite summer tank tops. Neck-Tite™ gently removes excess fat while tightening and contouring the neck area through radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology. neck tite body contouring results in NY, NY

Why choose Neck-Tite?

  • Fat is removed, and the skin is tightened in a single procedure.
  • It is ideal for those bothered by loose or sagging neck skin, jowls, or a “turkey” neck. It can restore a smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking appearance to the neck.
  • It can treat small areas like the neck and jowls, and it is an excellent alternative to more extensive surgical procedures.
  • Results are quickly visible and long-lasting.
  • Since the procedure enhances collagen production, it offers continued improvement in the look of your skin.

Neck Lift

During a neck lift, Dr. Miller removes excess fat and skin around the neck and jowl area and tightens the underlying muscles.

neck lift body contouring results in New York City

Why choose a neck lift?

  • Though less invasive than the facelift, the neck lift nevertheless provides dramatic results.
  • It accomplishes what diet and exercise cannot.
  • By removing skin and pulling the skin tighter, lines and wrinkles can also be eliminated, helping you look younger.
  • Incisions are usually made around the ear lobe and behind the ear, ending in the lower scalp, to minimize visible scarring after surgery.
  • Neck lifts produce long-lasting results.
  • You can wear lower necklines with more confidence in the summer.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover refers to a specialized combination of body contouring procedures aimed at returning a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy state. These can include breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, and liposuction procedures.

Why choose a mommy makeover?

  • Having multiple procedures at one time limits the hassles of scheduling, downtime, and billing.
  • These combined surgeries allow you to see the overall effects all at once, which can make the results more dramatic.
  • Results are long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

You can feel younger and more confident.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes excess or unwanted fat in order to sculpt the body and improve the body’s shape. It involves making very small incisions through which a narrow, blunt-tipped tube (cannula) is inserted, disrupting the fat cells and suctioning them out. lipsuction body contouring results in New York, NY

Why choose liposuction?

  • It can get rid of specific trouble spots quickly (e.g., stomach, back, upper arms, and thighs).
  • It effectively removes stubborn or remnant pockets of fat after major weight loss (e.g., individuals who have had weight-loss surgery).
  • The results can be very long-lasting if you maintain healthy habits.
  • Besides swelling, which may take a few weeks to subside, the results and enhancement are almost immediate.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin while tightening abdominal muscles to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist.

Why choose a tummy tuck?

  • It is ideal for those who have lost a significant amount of weight but have loose, excess skin hanging around the belly or have a protruding abdomen.
  • It is excellent for those who are in very good shape, but can’t get rid of stubborn stomach fat.
  • It is particularly beneficial for women with stretched skin and muscles resulting from pregnancy, as these concerns do not typically resolve without intervention.
