Inverted Nipple Repair: The easiest procedure you never knew about!

8 May

inverted nipple repair in new york city

Inverted nipples are pretty easy to find in the general population, but surgeons who fix them aren’t as common. Most women don’t even know that there is a procedure to repair inverted nipples, so we thought this Before & After photo might be “worth a thousand words”.

An inverted nipple repair procedure can be done under local anesthesia, and takes about 90 minutes to do both sides. You can go back to work the same day if you have to, but most patients will opt to go back the following day. The recovery period is pretty painless (most patients will only take a few prescription strength pain pills the night after surgery and then switch to regular Tylenol), and most of swelling will be gone in less than a week.

The After photo in the above image is the result at 2 weeks after surgery, and you can see that her nipple has gone from inverted to a normal appearance with almost no visible scars.

Feel free to give a call or text at 917-703-7069, or send us a message through our website if you have any questions or if you’re interested in scheduling a consultation!

Gummy Bear Breast Implants: VIDEO

5 April

Many people still believe that saline breast implants are a safer choice over silicone, but in many cases this belief is based on old information about outdated implant technology.

Now that highly-cohesive silicone gel implants (AKA Gummy Bear Implants) are FDA-approved for cosmetic breast augmentations, comparing saline to silicone is like comparing apples to oranges. When silicone implants were made with a liquid silicone core in the 1970′s, leaks were a real concern, and it made sense that perhaps a saline implant might be a better choice.

Nowadays, the majority of silicone breast implants are manufactured with a highly-cohesive silicone gel core, and therefore leaks are essentially a thing of the past. Because of this, the choice between saline and silicone has become much more straightforward. The gel core in the newest generation silicone implants is “cohesive” which means that it sticks to itself and does not travel away from its own silicone core. The above video shows a highly-cohesive gel implant that has been physically cut in half with a scalpel. As you can see, the silicone gel is a solid gel that doesn’t leak out of the implant shell even when the shell has been cut. And even though this gel is a solid, it is still incredibly soft so this implant feels very natural after surgery.

If you have any questions about breast implants or breast augmentation, or if you would like to schedule a consultation and see a few sample implants in our office, feel free to give us a call at 917-703-7069, or send us a message through our website by clicking here.

New BEFORE & AFTER Rhinoplasty Photos! One week after surgery…

14 March

Nose surgery in New York by Rhinoplasty expert Dr. Nicholas Vendemia of MAS

This is a 33 year old woman who wanted to improve her profile by getting rid of the “bump” on the bridge of her nose, which is called a dorsal hump reduction, and softening the appearance of her tip by reshaping the delicate cartilages there.

This is the result at only ONE WEEK after a QuickComfort Rhinoplasty… no bruising… very minimal swelling… and the result will continue to improve for the next 6 months!

Feel free to give a call or text at 917-703-7069, or send us a message through our website if you have any questions or if you’re interested in scheduling a consultation!

Teardrop Gummy Bear Implants are here!

22 February

 

highly cohesive gel implants, gummy bear implants, teardrop shape implants

Highly cohesive silicone gel implants (AKA “Gummy Bear Implants”) are the gold standard for breast implant technology today, and now there is another shape to add to your list of choices: the teardrop, or anatomic, shape.

The teardrop implant supposedly has a more natural slope and looks more like a natural breast as compared to the myriad of round implant options (low, moderate, high, and ultra-high profiles). The teardrop implant is an exciting step forward in the world of cosmetic breast surgery, but this implant isn’t for everyone, so make sure you discuss all the details with your surgeon before signing on the dotted line.

If you have any questions about the teardrop implants, or about any of the other implant shapes, please feel free to give us a call at 917-703-7069, or send us a message through our website by clicking here.

Best Moisturizing Night Cream for Wintertime

8 November

You don’t always have to spend top dollar to get the best product. Eucerin’s Redness Relief line is excellent, and although it’s a little tough to find sometimes, you can get it at just about any higher end drugstore.

Winter weather will dry your skin faster than just about anything, and wind exposure will leave your skin with a red, inflamed look that most of us could do without. A moisturizing night cream can prevent this altogether by giving your skin the moisture it needs to repair itself after being exposed to the elements.

I have very sensitive skin and have found it difficult to find a night cream that does what it is supposed to do without being too heavy or clogging my pores, but Eucerin fixed those issues with this product. Highly recommend it!

Laser Treatment for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

4 October

There are several treatments available for excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, but most require several sessions to achieve an acceptable level of sweat reduction, and few offer permanent results.

A 924nm laser fiber can be used to permanently reduce the number of hyperactive sweat glands in the same way that it reduces the number fat cells during laser liposuction procedures. This is why you may sometimes see this procedure referred to as “SweatLipo”. There is no actual liposuction involved in treating excessive sweating, but the laser fiber that is used can be the same or similar in both procedures. We use the SLIM Laser platform at MAS, and have had excellent results with a procedure that is quick, comfortable, and has essentially no downtime.

Keep Reading to learn more about using lasers for treating excessive sweating…

How To Do a Self Breast Exam

1 October

Every woman over 20 should  know how to do a proper self breast exam. The best treatment for breast cancer is early detection, so make sure to take five minutes every month to do a good exam. Pick a day that’s easy to remember like the “first Friday” each month so you don’t forget.

Breast cancer awareness : breast implants : breast reconstruction : self breast exam

5 Important Things to Keep in Mind While Watching this Video

  1. You should be bare breasted for your exam. Don’t try to do the exam through your shirt or bra like she does in the video.
  2. Use concentric circles to make sure you examine the entire breast, and use the same pattern every time so you don’t miss a spot.
  3. Don’t skip the armpit step. It’s really important to feel for hard or painful lymph nodes too.
  4. If you find anything that you are not sure about, make an appointment to have a real clinical breast exam right away.
  5. Self breast exams do not replace the need for screening mammograms which should happen every year after age 40 according to American Cancer Society, or sooner if you have a significant family history of breast cancer.

The Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation™

18 September

If you’re looking for an alternative, you’ve found it!

The Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation, offered exclusively at MAS in New York City, makes a long painful recovery a thing of the past. Most patients are back to work and most normal activities within a few days.

It’s also time to get rid of all that sun damage that your skin accumulated over the past several months… and not just to look better. Sun spots of any color (brown, red, black or blue) can be, or can become, dangerous if they turn into something more than just a little extra pigment. Don’t forget, the sun is a giant ball of radiation that not only burns the skin’s surface, but also damages it’s DNA, which is how skin cancers begin.

My 3 Favorite Cosmetic Procedures!

3 March

Plastic surgeon new york, breast enlargement new york, rhinoplasty new york, liquid facelift new yorkOne question that I get asked all the time is, “What are your favorite procedures?” And in case you were wondering the same thing, here’s the answer:

#1 BREAST ENLARGEMENT

Plastic surgeon new york, breast enlargement new yorkBreast augmentation is one of my favorite procedures because the newest highly-cohesive gel implants are fantastic devices with excellent safety profiles, and because it has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any cosmetic surgery! The procedure takes less than an hour, and most women can be back to work the next day with my Rapid RecoveryTM technique.

#2 RHINOPLASTY

Plastic surgeon new york, rhinoplasty new yorkRhinoplasty is an incredibly difficult operation that requires a great deal of precision, experience, and skill… and that’s exactly why I love it! My definition of a good rhinoplasty is one that no one notices except the patient. The results should be subtle, natural, and beautiful, and you should look like a more attractive version of yourself afterwards… not like a different person. With my QuickComfortTM technique, there is almost no pain after surgery, and the recovery time is minimal.

#3 LIQUID FACELIFT

Plastic surgeon new york, liquid facelift new yorkThere is no question about it… the Liquid Facelift is the future of facial rejuvenation! In experienced hands, you can get results that are comparable to a surgical facelift with almost no downtime, no pain, and less than 1/3 of the cost. In the LiteTouch Liquid FaceliftTM, I use a unique combination of several different injectible fillers to rebuild soft and natural volume in the cheekbones and under eyes, fill in deep lines and grooves around the mouth, and recontour the jawline to hide jowls and neck.

Business men are having cosmetic procedures to stay competitive!

8 July

Plastic Surgery for Men, Plastic Surgery, New York Plastic Surgeon Dr Nicholas Vendemia of MAS | 917-703-7069

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more and more business men are having cosmetic procedures to stay ahead of their competition in the workplace.

Both surgical and nonsurgical procedures are increasing in popularity with men, but Botox and Injectible Soft Tissue Filler treatments, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra, are standing out from the crowd. There is a growing group of men who believe that looking younger and healthier gives them a competitive advantage in making sales deals, obtaining a promotion, or securing a new job.

According to New York Plastic Surgeon Dr. Nicholas Vendemia of MAS, “About 90% of the people having cosmetic procedures are still women, but the percentage of men having Botox and Fillers has almost doubled in recent years, and continues to rise very quickly. It’s obvious that having a little help in looking good isn’t just for women any more.”

23 April

MAS Magnifique Facial, Dr. Nicholas Vendemia, MAS, Manhattan Aesthetic Surgery, Plastic Surgeon New York City, Skincare New York City, Facials NYC

Rejuvenate and relax with MAS Magnifique, Manhattan Aesthetic Surgery’s signature facial and glycolic peel.

This refreshing facial is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and will leave your skin glowing! Many of the products used for this facial are part of the Vivite skin care line, created by Allergan (the same company who makes Botox, Juvederm, and Natrelle breast implants). All Vivite products are made with their unique GLX technology, which is a combination of glycolic acid and natural antioxidants. Together, these ingredients promote collagen, hyaluronic acid, and epidermal growth of the skin (essential components for healthy, radiant, young skin).

What is MAS Magnifique?

This facial begins with a gentle cleanser to wash away any make up, oil, and other irritants that build up on the skin throughout the day.

MAS Magnifique Facial, Dr. Nicholas Vendemia, MAS, Manhattan Aesthetic Surgery, Plastic Surgeon New York City, Skincare New York City, Facials NYCYour skin is then exfoliated, with the help of a high-speed clinical cleansing brush.  The brush helps the cleanser penetrate the skin, while gently scrubbing away the top layers of dead skin.  This leaves the skin looking fresh and smooth.

Next, your skin is prepared with a glycolic prep, designed to help the skin absorb the products evenly. Vivite’s glycolic peel is then applied to diminish pore size by taking exfoliation to a whole new level! A soothing peppermint mask is used after the peel has been washed off to cool and calm your skin, and a redness-reducing moisterizer with sunscreen is applied to complete the facial.

How long does it take?

It usually takes 45-60 minutes, depending on your skin type.

Is there any down time?

No, this is a mild peel that does not require any down time. You can immediately re-apply your make-up and go on with your day looking noticeably more radiant and beautiful.

How much does it cost?

The MAS Magnifique Facial is priced $175, but if you mention this article when you schedule your consultation, you’ll get it for $99!

How do I schedule a MAS Magnifique Facial?

Take a look at this recent ad for the Proenza Schouler fall collection, and then look closer at the size of this models waist!

It’s truly amazing how small her waist is… so small that we start to wonder about camera angles and photoshop because it couldn’t possibly be that small for real… or could it?!?

Ladies, when’s the last time you took a pic like this for your man? Guys, when’s the last time you got the camera out and posed the apple of your eye like this?

If the answer is “never” and “never”, then ladies and gentlemen it’s time to meet Hiromi Oshima!

We stumbled on this pic on TheSmokingJacket.com, a site we told you about a while back. We’re still not sure what category this falls under, so we’re including it under “Got MAS Appeal?”, “All Things Aesthetic”, and “Fun”… mostly because we don’t have a “Smokin’ Hot” category :)

The New York City Ballerina Project: More Than “Ethereal” and Definitely On Pointe!

A woman walks into a room.  Heads turn to stare.  She radiates poise… ease… confidence.  Her feet are endless, feet slightly turned out.  Her arms are quietly chiseled.  She has perfect posture.  She seems to glide across the floor without any visible effort. She is, without a doubt, a ballerina.

A ballerina’s aesthetic appeal is perhaps the most recognizable of all sports.  To the untrained eye, she might appear waif-ish, fragile, or weak.  She has been referred to as “ethereal” by many a male choreographer. On the contrary, ballerinas have more strength and stamina than many professional athletes.  Some of them can jump as high as basketball players, but the difference is that a ballerina must hold a beautiful position while launching her body through the air, spinning around and landing on one leg.  It is her job to make it look easy.

The Ballerina Project has done a fabulous job illustrating these points, and we applaud the artist, Dane Shitagi, for doing such an amazing job displaying the soul of a dancer!

Say what you want about 14-year old Kendall Jenner’s early modeling career, but we think her pictures speak for themselves!

“Kendall is a superstar” says big sister Kim Kardashian. While she’s not in the ranks of Miranda Kerr or Elle Macpherson quite yet, she’s definitely on her way to the top!

On Pointe With The Ballerina Project

We recently stumbled upon The Ballerina Project while reading an article in Huff-Po, and were instantly captivated by the concept.  Real dancers take a pause from the stages and studios, and literally take their toes  to the streets of NYC.

The blog and Face Book pages offer a stunning look into the unexpected beauty and grace that lies beneath the hustle and grime of everyday life around New York. We love this breathtaking shot of  the dancer above! The image flawlessly captures her as she seamlessly becomes a part of this graffiti scarred building. Her lines and form  turn the whole scene into a work of art.

We hope this brainchild of photographer  Dane Shitagi continues, and even expands to other cities around the globe. To check out more of these urban collaborations of grace and grit, click here now.

Encore! Encore! See more images below. Keep reading… »
