Affected by a New Jenneration for Women

Jenner-ation Y: How Social Image Is Gaining Prevalence In Our Culture

The Millennials are simply reacting based on this overexposure and earning power.

Dr. Philip Miller, widely acclaimed as one of New York City’s premier facial and specialty rhinoplasty surgeons, and Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, leading the forefront in male plastic surgery, have experienced a radical boom in business due to this transition in industry.

With flawless faces like Kendall and Kylie’s exemplifying the youth of America, those daunting awkward stages are being further removed as a right of passage in reality.

Dr. Miller and Dr. Steinbrech noticed a 10 percent increase in consultations based on a person’s desire to achieve a “perfect pic” for their social image and to help brand themselves online.

Are unrealistic filters, apps, lighting and angles to blame for this intense distortion of physical image? Or, is this simply the outcome of drastic social influence?

Social influence on this level is still a relatively new approach for branding and getting ahead. Many are still struggling with the authority of these platforms and their extended reach.

However, social media channels are as relevant as any other reliable source for delivering information to the public, and the visual is the stamp of appeal.

For the Kardashian and Jenner women, their empire thrives off this influence.

Lifters Vs Fillers: The Benefits of Voluma For Mommies in NYC

As you age, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Your cheeks can lose volume and skin may begin to sag. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly correct your concerns and cater to your desired expectations.

Voluma adds volume, structure and lift using its new and patented VYCROSS technology allowing for better sculpting by the physician injector, and extends the life of the filler. It is very different from your standard fillers- which seemingly fill in wrinkles and lines. Voluma acts more as a face sculpting technique in order to sharpen features and give the overall aesthetic outcome of a facelift.

Most of us don’t think about adding volume and lift in the cheeks and mid-face. However, doing so not only re-contours the face, giving us a more youthful appearance, it also minimizes the lines around the mouth. Voluma becomes the total facial, non-invasive treatment that can fully enhance and youthify your appearance. Voluma is the perfect alternative to an implant or surgical lift.

BREAK DOWN

  • The only FDA – approved filler to correct age related volume loss in the midface. This simply creates a smoother contour with ageless results.
  • VYCROSS technology produces an efficiently and tightly cross-linked hydraulic gel, which increases and contributes to its lift capacity and duration- even optimizing in conjunction with other facial fillers.
  • Uniquely formulated and customized treatments provide natural-looking advancements.

ADD Volume: Three Areas of The Cheek

  1. Apex
  2. Apple
  3. Hollow

Benefits of Juvederm Voluma™ XC:

Juvederm® is very versatile and has many applications including:

  • Smile and frown lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Cheek sculpting
  • Filling deep lines and folds

The results of Voluma last up to 2 years, making it an excellent, longer-term solution to volume loss we all experience, and you should be able to return to your normal activities after 24 hours.

Is Juvéderm® Voluma™ Right For Me?

Juvéderm® Voluma™ XC treatment is for people over 21 years old. Most clients are between 30 and 65 years old and want to reduce the appearance of the following signs of aging:

  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s Feet
  • Creases in the forehead
  • Marionette lines
  • Smile lines

They also want to plump out areas they believe are unattractively thin. Juvéderm® Voluma™ XC hasn’t been tested on pregnant or nursing women, so it’s suggested that they forego the procedure until they’re no longer pregnant or nursing.

FULL BENEFITS

  • Non-Invasive
  • No Downtime
  • Multi-Faceted Dermal Filler
  • Restores Skin Volume
  • Removes Wrinkles
  • FDA Approved

What separates Voluma from other fillers like Sculptra is it is purely a “lifter” which happens to reiterate other benefits that may seem comparable. However, they are not. Voluma is the only product of this kind on the market today which attributes to the rise in its popularity. The proof is in the results.

Understanding The Difference Between Filling and Lifting

Collagen is a crucial component in keeping skin looking youthful and smooth. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles. Sculptra® Aesthetic works to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, as it replaces lost collagen. It is ultimately ideal for candidates who are looking to “fill in” their lines- hence injectable filler.

Sculptra® Aesthetic works to replace lost collagen in a series of treatments. It targets the underlying causes of the signs of aging. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection sessions and the number of injections per session vary from person to person.

Sculptra® Aesthetic is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid is safe — absorbed naturally by the body — and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.

Restoring Volume to Your Face or Pinpoint Wrinkles?

Before any type of dermal filler or lift treatment, a complete and thorough consultation to evaluate a patient’s needs and concerns is performed.

Voluma is available and one of our most sought after results because of its optimal results in enhancing, replenishing, and sculpting facial structure and volume to a natural and aesthetic level of beauty.

Battle of The Summer Bash Bulge in NYC

Fourth of July represents our nation’s independence- but unfortunately, a mommy’s mid-section is never independent from those stubborn love handles! While right in the middle of those sexy beach days and the long awaited crop top season, Fourth of July can definitely make new mommies uncomfortable and insecure about their post baby bods. Let’s face it, while being a mommy is a joy, your body just isn’t quite like it used to be. That flat tummy is just a bit bulgier and those extra pounds seem to have gone to all the wrong places. Along with the extra fat here, comes the dreaded stretch marks and loose skin you can’t really seem to get rid of, no matter how hard you try. With barbeques, sunny afternoons, and those beach firework shows- fun for the whole family, the attention that a mommy’s mid-section brings isn’t always the good kind. No new mom wants to feel insecure when she is trying to enjoy summer family time!

If you’re anything like most new moms, dieting just isn’t your thing. Busy moms simply do not have the time to invest in dieting. They’re long term and really hard to stick to.

-And to be honest, they don’t fix all of those mommy body problems that may lead to a lack of self-confidence. Dieting won’t get rid of the loose skin and exercising certainly won’t erase those pesky stretch marks. Even when putting in the work, women often plateau. Let’s not forget those saggy breasts that have lost their perkiness post-pregnancy! Fortunately, there are so many other options out there that can give a quick fix for those mommy misfortunes! The only real and realistic solution to these problems would be surgery. Don’t worry, it’s not the gory surgery you see when you flip through the TV channels! Procedures to fix post-pregnancy “trouble areas” are performed just beneath the skin. These are some procedures that would give mommy her perfect summer post Fourth of July and post-baby body!

Liposuction is by far the best solution to get rid of unwanted body fat. After pregnancy, the body tends to develop pockets of fat that are incredibly difficult to get rid of naturally. These pockets of fat oftentimes sculpt the waistline into an undesirable shape and leave other body parts like the arms, tummy and thighs looking anything but toned and sexy. Because naturally losing weight will not completely get rid of this extra fat, liposuction is definitely the secret tool for restoring (or even improving!) mommy’s original beautiful beach body.

Let’s talk about the post-pregnancy mommy boobies! After pregnancy, two things can happen to a woman’s breasts; the breasts may droop and sag when shrinking to their original size, or they can stay big, which is oftentimes uncomfortable and undesirable for the mom. Either way, a Breast Augmentation can be performed to correct this issue. For women who wish to have perkier breasts again, they can opt to receive a breast lift, which will restore the perkiness and firmness. Likewise, a breast reduction can be performed to reduce the size of the breasts so that is fits with the rest of the body more seamlessly. Moms can now feel comfortable and confident when wearing that super cute bikini top to the beach or that sexy low-cut maxi dress at the summer barbeque!

The body part that takes the biggest hit during pregnancy is definitely the tummy. After supporting a baby for nine months, mommy’s midsection has been through it all- bulges, ripples, and sagging (the triple threat at any Fourth of July party)! Tummy Tucks can correct that triple threat. While smoothing out the skin, it also tightens up the abdominal muscles that got weakened after pregnancy. So show off that firm tummy and defined waistline, you deserve it!

Getting all of these procedures done individually seems very overwhelming at first glance. Fortunately for the millions of mommies out there looking to get their perfect beach body back, Dr. Steinbrech offers an incredible procedural package he coined “Mommy Makeover”! Dr. Steinbrech created this package as a combination to restore the beauty to the areas affected most by pregnancy while boosting a needed dose of self-confidence. Mommy Makeover procedures include all (or a combination of) liposuction, breast lift, breast reduction, and a tummy tuck. Dr. Steinbrech designed Mommy Makeover to be physically safe and be as minimally invasive as possible with a mission to help women in reclaiming victory over the battle of the bulge.

Mommy Makeovers are a top contender for toned, youthful summer-ready bodies to carry you through all seasons.

This summer, it’s time to love yourself endlessly too. Raise your esteem, say goodbye to insecurity, and restore your body to its former glory days. Strut to that family’s Fourth of July barbeque and let yourself radiate. Go to the beach and let all the eyes be on you. Be happy in your own skin Mommies, with a luxurious and pampered Mommy Makeover.

Breast Implants: The Basics 101 in NYC

The breast augmentation surgeons know that for many women, self-esteem is closely tied to their feelings about the size and shape of their breasts.

If a woman feels her breasts are too small or unshapely, this can have a strong, negative impact on how she feels about herself overall and a breast augmentation may be the best solution. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the shape and size of the bust by means of an implant, gently inserted within the breast. Breast augmentation results in a full, naturally rounded looking breast shape.

www.womanita.com

www.womanita.com

Types of Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.

  • Saline breast implants provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel, and are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 18 or older.

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel. The gel feels a bit more like natural breast tissue. If the implant leaks, the gel may remain within the implant shell, or may escape into the breast implant pocket. A leaking implant filled with silicone gel will not collapse.

  • If you choose silicone implants, you may need to visit your plastic surgeon regularly to make sure the implants are functioning properly. An ultrasound or MRI screening can assess the condition of breast implants.
  • Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 22 or older.

Gummy bear breast implants are shaped rather than round. They have more projection at the bottom and are tapered towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may lead to an unusual appearance of the breast.

  • Placement of gummy bear implants requires a longer incision in the skin.

Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection.

  • Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.

Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling. These implants can move with the breast implant pocket, which may give more natural movement.

  • Smooth implants may have some palpable or visible rippling.

Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around inside the breast and get repositioned.

  • Texturing offers some advantage in diminishing the risk of a tight scar capsule.

Implant manufacturers occasionally introduce new styles and types of breast implants, so there may be additional options available.

Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, it is important for you to monitor your breast implants and follow-up with your plastic surgeon for appropriate checkups.

The Benefits of Breast Augmentation

If you feel that your breasts lack the size and shape you desire, breast augmentation may be for you. Whether you were born with it, or recently lost a significant amount of weight, small breasts can take a toll on a woman’s self-confidence. Breast augmentation can help you to boost your self-confidence. In fact, there are several benefits for women who have the breast augmentation experience, such as:

  • The ability to wear more clothes. Women who have small breasts are limited to clothing that flatters their small chest. With breast augmentation, you can wear the shirts, dresses, and bikinis you always wished you could pull off!
  • Enhanced curves. A nice figure is all about complementary contours. By getting breast augmentation, you can enhance your other curves as well. This can help to achieve a balanced appearance.
  • Anti-aging effects. With age, breasts tend to droop or sag. Breast augmentation can help to restore your youthfulness by making the breasts perkier.
  • Breast symmetry. It’s common for women to have unsymmetrical breasts. Breast augmentation can help to even out the size and symmetry of the breasts.
  • Improved intimacy. Women who have breast augmentation experience better intimacy. They feel more confident in their bodies, and in turn are more open to intimacy.

Types of Incisions

  • Inframammary Incision
  • Transaxillary Incision
  • Periareolar Incision

Inserting and Placing the Implant

The surgeon continues to perform the breast augmentation procedure by placing the implant either beneath the breast gland or, more commonly, under the pectoralis muscle, and then closes the incision.

Closing the Incisions

Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. Over time the incision lines will fade.

*We offer both saline and silicone implants for breast augmentation, including the most advanced “form-stable” silicone implants.

What to Expect in Recovery

Breast pain in the first several days after surgery may be relieved with medication. Swelling and bruising for several weeks after the surgery is normal, but wearing the surgical bra 24 hours a day will assist to reduce the swelling during the healing process.
Following two to three weeks (depending on the procedure and the individual patient), you can resume your normal activities. Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting, however, should be avoided for three to four weeks or more. In the meantime, seek out the optimal sports bra for your activity and breast size.

Fillers Are The New Filters Says Elite Daily Women’s Section

It seems Instagram is single-handedly driving traffic right into the offices of cosmetic surgeons (at least according to the experts), who are propelling these non-invasive techniques to the forefront.

People crave the satisfaction they get from the “likes” and “comments,” so when it doesn’t translate to their real lives, they search for alternative solutions.

It seems Instagram is single-handedly driving traffic right into the offices of cosmetic surgeons (at least according to the experts), who are propelling these non-invasive techniques to the forefront.

Even men are jumping on the bandwagon with more and more “Brotox” requests (Botox for men) and liquid rhinoplasty and facelifts.

According to recent reports from The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, various procedures among male patients seeking fillers and other enhancing hydraulics have skyrocketed up to 43 percent in a short five year period.

Many surgeons are attributing this rise to the increased usage of social media platforms. This only further proves the issue is a social media fallout, not a gender-specific disorder.

Internet transformations are a part of our daily feeds, and people have the ability to continually take their looks to the next level with these filtered makeovers.

The current trend is blurring the lines between the real and the fake and stirring up immense controversy with this plastic surgery initiative.

However, even the top surgeons aren’t miracle workers. Ask any leading professional or top surgeon in his or her field, like Dr. Douglas Steinbrech.

“It is really about maturity, sensible possibilities and communication,” Steinbrech says. He will turn away individuals who request ridiculous procedures, like those highlighted on TV, and who bring in clearly altered social media photographs. He explains it is a sure sign of a much bigger problem.

There is a level of morality that comes with the territory of being a board certified plastic surgeon.

The experts in the industry are advocates for realism, even in their skilled craft of turning ducklings into swans.

Serious About A Mommy Makeover In NYC?

Looking to find out more information about the finance options available?

Dr. Steinbrech and Dr. Miller are both extremely happy to announce that they are now offering Alphaeon Care in addition to Care Credit.

Insurance?

While there is no direct pricing or specific cost for procedures and quality care, a customized plan is designed by our experts. Depending on certain factors regarding a particular surgery, it may be covered by your insurance provider.

An examination/consultation will determine whether or not an individual qualifies. Check said policy. It is best to take initiative in advance to contact your insurance company beforehand.

However, in most cases cosmetic or select aesthetic enhancements are categorized as elective procedures.

It’s recommended to find the best qualified and licensed surgeon and inquire about their finance plan. This is a true investment for yourself that requires a skilled, board certified surgeon and open communication regarding the right techniques and options available for you to achieve desired, optimal, and successful results.

Replacing Implants in NYC

Recent headlines showcased Bravo reality star, mogul, and mom, Melissa Gorga, speaking about her breast implants. As an alumni to the Housewives franchise, Melissa is a constant in the public eye while maintaining her supermom status. She announced via social media, her choice to undergo surgery and replace her current implants as per her surgeon’s recommendation.

www.usmagazine.com

www.usmagazine.com

This re-raised the classic cosmetic enhancement questions, “How long do breast implants last?” & “How often should a woman replace her implants?”

With a variety of breast implant options available, and of course a customized treatment plan in place, it is important for moms to understand the process and the basics for breast augmentation.

There is a great deal of confusion regarding the longevity behind how long breast implants will last. There are even myths and misconceptions revolving around implants. To clear the air, there is no exact limit. Yes, there are suggested recommendations based on the type of implant and your personalized plan and circumstances, but that is to be determined by your board-certified surgeon and quality patient care team. Most women opt to change their implants every ten years or so as per research of certain manufacturers and plastic surgery societies. After all, it is a man-made product.  However, many surgeons have patients who experience zero problems well past the decade mark. Each individual patient is different and if they are not causing you problems, and you are happy with the look and feel, it should not be a serious concern.

Working mothers who have breast implants often times do not follow the principle of replacing their implants every ten years simply because time does not allow, and with little or no discomfort, the benefits and/or their well-being usually falls below the family’s best interest on the priority scale. Although, most women are content with their original implant and do not require additional surgery, that does not mean women should not be aware of potential risks, or follow the proper maintenance for implants. There is no way to predict the exact outcome down the road. Women, especially mothers, should be mindful of their body’s reaction over time. It is suggested to follow-up throughout the lifetime of the implants, but that does not necessarily mean more surgical downtime.

On the other end of the spectrum, mothers who are rescheduling their consultations and updating their implants are concerned with the overall appearance as they age and their body goes through continual changes. Many patients choose to replace their implants because of the natural effects of aging. All breasts, whether natural or implanted, are subject to gravity, sun damage, lost tissue connectivity and the physical effects of motherhood.

Time-related changes often include breast sagging, size change due to hormonal fluctuations, or visible rippling of the implants. Women who received implants before motherhood may discover that pregnancy and breastfeeding change the original appearance of their breast implants. Thus, a number of patients voluntarily return after they are through having children, wanting to restore their breasts to the look and feel of the original implants.

As with any other type of surgery, patients can mitigate some of the risk of complications by selecting a surgeon who is board-certified, well-experienced and has a respected presence in the medical community. Make sure you put your beauty in hands you can trust!

Dr. Steinbrech performs breast augmentation in NYC as part of the mommy makeover procedure for his female patients who are looking to restore their pre-pregnancy breasts. After pregnancy, the breast will lose volume resulting in a smaller and droopy breast. Restoring the volume with a breast augmentation can give an excellent result with minimal scarring.  If your goal is to get your breasts to your pre-baby profile, we can help you get there.

Breast augmentation is a procedure that can help restore and/or improve the shape, size and beauty of breasts, helping women feel more confident about their looks and achieve a better quality of life. It is the most commonly requested procedure among women and the most uniquely customized through pre-operative consultations. Through the various concerns revolving around implant material, size, shape, etc., Dr. Steinbrech will provide all of the options, treatments, and techniques to make sure you are electing the right procedure to meet your needs, expectations, and lifestyle.

Patients undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic reasons, including balancing breast size, compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery, and correcting a congenital breast defect. They can be beneficial to anyone whose breasts have lost their shape and firmness because of weight loss, breast feeding, age or any other factors. Moms from all over NYC are considering breast augmentation, breast lift and other breast enhancement procedures as part of a mommy makeover.

Dr. Steinbrech provides extensive consultations before the surgery to help decide what implant type, placement and location of the incision are best suited for every patient’s individual needs.

A Celebrity Plastic Surgeon Reveals the Truth About Butt Implants

New York-based surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech explains the different procedures and how to tell if the famous behinds of stars like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj are real.

We live in a culture that isn’t only all about that bass, it’s obsessed. Big butts have become a must-have in Hollywood, with Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj flaunting their bountiful behinds on IG and rappers constantly shouting out the lady lumps in song. The more we talk about butts, the crazier the rumors regarding famous backsides become — like the one about Amber Rose getting injections, or Nicki’s implants exploding. The booty is so en vogue these days, people are going to dangerous (and illegal) lengths to get more curves. With so much hype, we went to a professional to try and make sense of it all.

New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech gave us the inside scoop on in-demand booties, how to tell if someone’s had work done, and what procedures exist to help us pack a little more junk in the trunk.

celebrityjane.com

celebrityjane.com

Do people come to you with someone specific in mind?
Yes, it’s [the] Kardashian and the J.Lo thing.

Which celebs have the best butt, in your opinion?
Jessical Biel, Sofia Vergara, Chris Hemsworth, [and] Bradley Cooper.

What are the different options for butt implants?
Implants are silicone implants – [it’s] not like a bag, it’s more like a gummy bear. It’s the same quality as muscle, but it feels like muscle gel which is really what people want. A nice contour for the glutes of their butt. That’s an option for patients that don’t have a lot of fat or patients who have a little fat but want to go further than with what they can do with fat injections. Fat injections are an amazing option because we can use your own body’s fat, and who doesn’t want that? I don’t throw away any fat. For the butt, I take all that fat from the love handles, the abs, that flat tire that women get underneath your belly button. If you just take that fat and pull it out and throw it away, when that patient goes back and has some calories — a cheeseburger at McDonald’s — the fatty acids have got to find existing liposites in your body. And that’s why it’s so important to have [them] moved to somewhere where you want them to be. Guess what? When you have a cheeseburger it’s just going to make your booty a little bit bigger.
