NEW YORK CITY – Breaking up is hard to do, as Neil Sedaka so famously sang in 1962. The times have not changed that much and it does not matter if you are male or female, ending a relationship is rarely easy. As popular as the revenge dress is becoming, some men are getting in on the revenge action by scheduling breakup surgery to help them confidently get back into the dating game.

Going back on the market has its own stresses and putting your best face forward can make it easier to have the confidence that women look for in a man. Botox and other fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, making you look as youthful as you feel. It can also reduce hollowness and make you look more alert no matter how late a date lasts. A skilled New York plastic surgeon will make sure it is done well and you are still able to express a full range of emotions.

If it is the amount of hair on your back, chest, or neck that is a source of embarrassment, then laser hair removal is the answer. In as little as three sessions, your chest and back can be smooth and ready for the next speed dating session. Sometimes an additional session or two are needed to account for the life cycle of hair growth or any hair that grows related to hormones. Hair removal can also make it quicker to prepare for a last minute date by offering a permanent solution that razors and shaving cream cannot.

For other men, their insecurities lie a little lower on the body. Male enhancement means that, even if you were insecure “down there” in your last relationship, you do not have to be insecure in your next one. Phalloplasty is a procedure to lengthen the penis naturally, by releasing the suspensory ligament.

Dr. Elliot Heller respects the privacy of his patients as well as the sensitive nature of this type of procedure. He assures his patients that, “You can be confident talking about your goals in a safe environment. I will help you set realistic expectations about how much enhancement I can achieve.” It is also possible to increase the width of the penis through inserting fat harvested from the patient or a product called Alloderm.

Occasionally, it seems as if a relationship really is forever and you decide to tattoo the lovely lady’s name on your body. Well, if that is the case, than laser tattoo removal is probably your next step. Just as getting the tattoo was a big commitment, laser tattoo removal requires anywhere from six to 20 sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. It will be a while before you can remove this sign of a past relationship, but modern machinery has a much higher success rate than older, abrasive techniques that replaced a tattoo with a scar.

Finally, one type of breakup procedures that men have been seeking secretly for years is a hair transplant. It used to be done on the sly, only to become glaringly obvious as soon as the man took his hat off. Fortunately, technology has made a huge difference here as well and surgeons are able to achieve more natural results. It is also becoming less taboo to discuss, as seen by soccer star Wayne Rooney’s tweet acknowledging his second hair transplant procedure in June 2013. He quipped, “I was going bald at 25, why not. I’m delighted with the result.”

There are a variety of other procedures that men can choose to enhance their physical form. Allure Plastic Surgery has extensive experience with male breast reduction, liposuction, and stretch mark removal due to rapid weight gain. Who knows, maybe you will meet your next date while she is waiting for her New York breast augmentation and breast lift consultation.

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK – When it comes to clearing and smoothing your skin fast, if you’ve been trolling the drugstores, supermarkets and DIY recipes on YouTube, chances are you haven’t experienced any REAL results.

That’s because you were looking in the wrong places. If you want fast, visible results, your best bet is to pay a plastic surgeon a visit.

“People try the cheaper, less invasive route first, but all they end up doing is spending time and money waiting on a miracle that isn’t found on a shelf or their fridge,” says Dr. Andrew Miller, a top Manhattan plastic surgeon. “When patients come see me for the first time they are shocked to learn that effective procedures aren’t as scary or costly as they envisioned.”

Where did you go wrong?
Chances are you’ve been drawn in by drastic before and after photos and touching testimonials from people who had tried everything without results. But low and behold, they found it – that one product or homemade concoction that actually works. The next thing you know, you’re signing up for a year’s worth of Proactive or spreading last night’s leftovers on your face and crossing your fingers.

Why topicals don’t work – fast?
Most topicals – over-the-counter, prescribed or homemade recipes – work, just not fast. They take time to yield visible results and often, never drastic ones.

“Their concentration of active ingredients is much lower than that what is available to physicians,” says Dr. Miller, a NYC facelift specialist. “Higher concentrations and mechanical resurfacing are fast and effective, but also run a risk for scarring when not left in the hands of an experienced administrator – preferably a physician or surgeon. They are also the only way to provide significant improvement in severe cases.”

So what DOES work, you ask?
The following procedures are safe and yield fast – sometimes instant- improvement of skin clarity and texture.

We’ll start with the least invasive:

• Intense pulsed light therapy – Low on pain and high on results, IPL therapy improves skin tone by zapping redness and discoloration. This “photo facial” is ideal for rosacea sufferers, sun damaged skin and post-hyperpigmentation caused by trauma or fading acne blemishes.Results can be seen instantly and improve with subsequent procedures – usually performed in four-week intervals.
• Microdermabrasion and dermabrasion – Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals to resurface the skin similar to – but safer and more controlled than – a sand blaster. This procedure is ideal for people looking for a “lunch time” glow or desiring to improve their acne, scarring and discoloration.Smoother, glowing skin is revealed instantly and after approximately seven sessions, fresh skin should be visible.Dermabrasion is simply a more intense version of microdermabrasion.
• Chemical Peels – Glycolic peels work similar to topicals such as Retin-A by causing the skin to exfoliate its outer layer, only faster and deeper.These peels take just a few minutes in-office and approximately three days later, you will notice your dull, outer layer of skin beginning to peel.Like the previous procedures, improvement becomes more dramatic with each subsequent peel.
• Fraxel resurfacing – The gold standard in acne scar removal, clarity and texture improvement, the Fraxel laser provides fast and substantial improvement.The Fraxel laser works by removing tiny cylinders of skin at the treated sites.”What makes the Fraxel so effective is that it actually removes portions of damaged skin while leaving behind just enough undamaged skin to promote rapid healing,” says Dr. Miller. “What’s even more fantastic is that this process – the damage and healing – can actually induce collagen production, further improving skin tone and texture.”As a bonus, by removing portions of skin and reducing the skin’s surface area, fine lines and laxity can also be improved.This procedure is obviously more invasive than others and requires approximately three days of downtime. Afterward, you will need to diligently protect your fresh, pink skin from the sun to prevent hyperpigmentation.Makeup can be worn immediately to cover pinkness, which will fade over time as the skin rejuvenates itself.Severe cases of acne scarring may require multiple procedures to achieve desired improvement.

All of these procedures can be used to treat any area where improvement is desired such as the face, neck, chest and hands.

MANHATTAN AND STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK – The recent trend of Korean plastic surgery has many plastic surgeons in the states worried – especially Dr. Elliot Heller.

“The root of the problem with Korean plastic surgery isn’t entirely a new one,” says Dr. Heller who offers breast augmentation and facelifts in Manhattan. “Just as curly haired girls wish they had straight hair, many Asians wish they had ‘western’ eyes and noses.”

Initially, the craze involved Asians creating the optical illusion of larger, more western eyes with cosmetics and specialized contact lenses. The transformations can be so drastic that television shows like this one have featured ‘live’ transformations of Asian girls for entertainment, which have Heller concerned.

“While I cannot understand the foreign language spoken in the video, it seems evident that the hosts of the show are shocked and disappointed with the girls’ features prior to their makeovers,” says Heller who is a tummy tuck NYC provider. “I’m afraid that this feedback is just the mentality that is rooted in ‘permanent’ makeovers with Korean plastic surgery.”

Plastic surgeries in South Korea drastically surpass those performed in other countries according to Seoul TouchUp, a Korean medical tourism agency.

And the results achieved by such plastic surgeries are even more dramatic than one could imagine. For example, when viewing the images in this buzzfeed article titled “31Crazy Before and After Photos of Korean Plastic Surgery,” it’s hard to accept that the results are real and not touched up afterward with a image editor like Photoshop.

“There is no denying that changing your image can be fun,” says Heller. “It’s one of the main reasons many people enjoy dressing up on Halloween.

But plastic surgery isn’t makeup and it isn’t make-believe. Plastic surgery is real and so are the results, which are sometimes irreversible – just ask Bruce Jenner or Mickey Rourke.”

There isn’t anything wrong with trends or following them for that matter. You can always buy a new pair of boots or get a new haircut when they go out of style, but a new face, that’s a little more tricky – and costly.

Here’s to hoping Korean plastic surgery patients don’t find out that hooded eyes and strong jaws are the new trend anytime soon.

NYC, NEW YORK – Some claim that SmartLipo is an effective alternative to a tummy tuck, but SmartLipo isn’t for everyone.

What is SmartLipo, You Ask?
SmartLipo is the gold standard of the laser liposuction realm; the ‘Fraxel’ of the laser liposuction world – if you will. Since being approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006, it has been making waves and gaining praise for the results it delivers.

An improvement upon liposuction techniques of the past, which often worsens loose skin, SmartLipo can actually improve it. The laser first produces wavelengths that rupture fat cells, allowing the liquefied fat to be gently suctioned away with specialized cannulas. These cannulas are smaller than traditional varieties and only require a 2mm incision for insertion. Don’t let size fool you though. Just as much fat can be removed with these smaller cannulas and the collagen production they induce coagulates and tightens the skin.

For patients with excess fat and skin in their tummy area, SmartLipo has many benefits that sound more alluring than a tummy tuck. A tiny incision and local anesthesia trumps a hip-to-hip incision and being put “under.” And since time is a luxury for most, the reduced downtime associated with laser liposuction makes it seem like a no-brainer choice – at least at first glance.

“There is no doubt that SmartLipo has many great qualities, but it’s not right for everyone,” says Dr. Elliot Heller, one of the best plastic surgeons in NYC. “Depending on the patient’s particular case, laser liposuction may not yield the results they desire. My patients often opt for the procedure that produces the best results opposed to the one with the lowest downtime.”

You Get What You Pay For.
When it comes to plastic surgery, you get what you pay for. And by that we aren’t necessarily referring to the price of the procedure, but its qualities. Less invasive procedures produce less dramatic results, which is fine if you only require minor improvement but if your case is more severe or complicated, you are sure to be disappointed with your results and investment.

Is SmartLipo Right For You?
The ideal candidate for SmartLipo has some excess stomach fat, skin that is either minimally lax or not lax at all and tight abdominal muscles. Although SmartLipo can tighten skin, if your skin is very loose, you have a lot of excess fat and or your abdominal muscles are damaged, SmartLipo’s skin tightening effect won’t make enough of a difference to make you happy.

Tummy Tuck
For those who require more than laser liposuction, a tummy tuck is in line. Although this surgical procedure does produce a scar that is quite a bit larger than that used in SmartLipo, it allows the surgeon to remove not only excess fat, but large amounts of excess skin.

“We can also go in and repair abdominal muscles that were damaged during pregnancy,” says Dr. Heller.

The incision for this procedure can run from hip to hip however, it is hidden well beneath the bikini line and beats having a pouch of loose skin and fat hanging over your bikini at the beach.

The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, requires general anesthesia (some surgeons may use local anesthesia with a sedative) and approximately one to two weeks of downtime. The aftercare includes a comprehension garment and drainage tubes which, aide in successful healing.

“Neither of these procedures are a replacement for diet and exercise,” says Dr. Heller, a NYC Tummy Tuck and SmartLipo pro. “You should be in good shape before having these procedures and ideally, not have intentions of growing your family.”

If you are interested in a fat transfer or flattening your tummy with SmartLipo, contact our office for a free consultation to make sure you’ve chosen the best option.

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK — They say a picture is worth a thousand words however, these days they may be worth a thousand dollars, maybe more. And we mean that in more ways than one.

When it comes to plastic surgery, some patients are making money and some are spending it.

The rapidly increasing popularity of social media sites is causing people to become more conscious of their appearance and is serving as a catalyst for facial rejuvenation according to statistics released by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Inc.

Spending money: Getting plastic surgery because of envy.

“Unflattering self-images and envy of the good looks of others were convicting people to address their image long before Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest blew up,” says Dr. Andrew Miller, a New York plastic surgeon. “Because the main component and most entrancing feature of social sites is photo sharing, people are flung into the ‘perfect storm’ of comparing themselves to others, which fuels a desire to improve or change their appearance. So I am not surprised at all that an increase in plastic surgery, particularly facial plastic surgery, seems to correlate with the popularity of social sites.”

An article that delves deeper into why social sites – Facebook in particular – trigger envy can be found here.

Making money: Getting plastic surgery to get the job.

There have been many studies including this one from Psychology Today, which claim that better, younger looking people have less trouble finding jobs and make considerably more than less attractive individuals.

Today’s economy has reduced the job market and pushed back retirement for many. Because of this, many individuals see plastic surgery as job security or an investment that yields a great return if it helps them get a job sooner, or secure one at a higher wage.

What procedures are people making/spending money on?

Cosmetic, minimally invasive procedures increased by nearly 100 percent from 2000 to 2012, according to results of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ annual Plastic Surgery Statistics Report.

Many procedures fall under this category but those that saw the largest increase include:

1. Botulinum toxin type A (Botox, Dysport) + 680 percent
   • Reduces forehead lines, crow’s feet and other lines caused by repetitive muscle contraction
2. Soft Tissue Fillers (Juvederm, Radiesse, etc.) + 205 percent
   • Plumps wrinkles, cheeks, lips and reduces dark circles
3. Laser Resurfacing (Fraxel or Ablative lasers) + 198 percent
   • Improves fine lines, sun damage and acne scarring

“When used individually, these procedures yield subtle, facial enhancement,” says Dr. Miller who is a Manhattan rhinoplasty (nose job) specialist. “But when combined, you get a much more dramatic result with little to no down time.”

MANHATTAN AND NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – Manhattan tummy tuck patients are finding that the procedure does more than just flatten their tummies; it reduces their facial wrinkles and plumps their rears as well. And no, we aren’t pulling your leg.

For those of you who don’t know what a tummy tuck is, it’s a surgical procedure that allows surgeons to flatten tummies by removing excess fat, skin and repairing damaged abdominal muscles. Now, this process in particular isn’t what plumps wrinkles and butts but, it does set up tummy tuck patients perfectly for fat grafts.

How, you ask?

Fat grafting – in a nutshell – is the process of augmenting areas of the face or body with harvested fat. The reason a tummy tuck is the perfect precursor to fat grafting procedures is that it includes liposuction (how fat is harvested) of excess, unwanted fat.

“Fat harvested from a tummy tuck is often disposed of,” says Dr. Heller, a NYC plastic surgeon. “But instead of letting that fat go to waste, it could be processed and used to improve other areas.”

Fat grafting can be used for the following.

• Plump thin lips
• Reduce hollow temples and cheeks
• Erase smile lines
• Lighten dark circles
• Improve the size and shape of the buttocks
• Increase cup size
• (and more)

The most popular fat grafting procedures include the Brazilian butt lift and a fat transfer facelift. Here’s a closer look at each.

The Brazilian Butt Lift
“The Brazilian butt lift has surpassed butt implants as the leading butt augmentation procedure in my opinion,” says Dr. Elliot Heller who performs SmartLipo and liposuction in New York City. “The procedure not only eliminates the need for introducing foreign objects (implants) into the body, it reduces the risk of infection since a much smaller incision is needed to redistribute fat into the butt than is needed to insert an implant.”

The other aspect of the procedure that allows it to deliver results that trump those achieved with implants is the liposuction used to harvest fat. Fat is removed from areas like the tummy and thighs not only for augmentation, but to enhance the patient’s new curves by accentuating the areas around them.

When adding this procedure to a tummy tuck, it doesn’t mean the surgeon won’t remove unwanted fat from the lower back or thighs because they have harvested enough from the stomach during the tummy tuck. An experienced surgeon will make sure that they liposuction areas that accentuate not only the flatness of your post-tummy tuck belly, but the shape of your post-Brazilian butt lift rear.

Fat Transfer Facelift
As we age, the fat and tissues in our face begin to droop and/or deteriorate, leaving us with sunken features and wrinkles. But you don’t have to be old to have a similar facial condition. Some people are suffering from a disease, genetically inherited a gaunt face or have lost an extreme amount of weight (you don’t just lose it in your body.) The fat that is harvested from a tummy tuck can be processed and reinjected into hollow areas of the face to restore fullness and reduce wrinkles almost as drastically as a facelift. In fact, the results of a facelift can be drastically improved with fat grafts.

It is important to keep a couple of things in mind if you are to be eligible for a fat graft.

First, you must have an appropriate amount of fat available for harvest or you will be advised to gain weight before the procedure.

Second, fat is not necessarily permanent. The body will reabsorb the fat that does not establish by creating its own blood supply. However, improved techniques have increased the retention rate of relocated fat and surgeons often “over augment” areas to compensate for some reabsorption that will inevitably occur.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – Men and women alike are looking for effective ways to improve their appearance and first impressions however, many are going about the search alone.

“In today’s economy, putting your best face forward is more important than ever before,” says Dr. Andrew Miller, a NY facial plastic surgeon. “Men and women are rushing into surgery with high expectations only to be disappointed with the results because they were ill informed. This is especially true with face lift procedures.”

When it comes to facelifts, there are many procedures (beware of surgeons who only offer a couple) – that fall into two main, surgical categories:

• Mini facelift
• Full facelift

We will briefly explain the difference between these two categories of facelifts so you can have “an edge” when you enter into a consultation with a board certified, facial plastic surgeon.

Mini Face Lift (Lifestyle Lift®, S Lift, Weekend Facelift, etc.)

• Minimal jowling
• Minimal downtime
• Minimal longevity (3-5 years)
• Does not address brow or eye area

As the name implies, mini facelift procedures are good for treating patients who have minimally lax skin, want minimal downtime and are OK with minimal longevity when it comes to results. Incisions placed around the tops of ears allow the surgeon to excise excess skin to provide a slight lift to the neck, lower face and lower, mid-face.

“The media has glamourized mini facelift procedures more than I feel the procedures deserve,” says Dr. Andrew Miller who also performs rhinoplasty in New York. “Most of my patients who meet the qualifications for a mini facelift opt for Botox and filler treatment until they are ready for a full facelift.”

Full Facelift (Deep Plane Facelift, SMAS Facelift)

• Heavy jowling
• Moderate loose skin
• Lasting results (7-10 years)
• Can lift deeper tissues
• Does not address brow or eye area

The presence of heavy jowls and banding in the neck area are the best predictors to needing a full facelift. Incisions hidden under the chin, behind ear and in the posterior hairline create a sling effect that provides a clean neck silhouette and allow for deep tissue lifting.

Since it’s not only our skin, but also our tissues that sag with age, repositioning deep tissue yields maximum results by providing a better foundation for re-draping skin over during a lifting procedure.

“Facelifts do a fantastic job of addressing sagging in the neck and lower face, but the rejuvenation stops at the mid-face,” says Dr. Miller. “Surgeons who claim to be able to resolve wrinkles around the eye with these procedures are attempting to lift the skin at a tighter and at a steeper angle. This may reduce some wrinkling but also yields an unnatural, overstretched result.”

Popular add-ons for facelift procedures that provide natural enhancement include:

• Fat grafts – Prevents “gaunt, skeletonized appearance in patients with minimal facial tissue
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift)– Reduces hooding and bags by excising excess skin
• Brow lift – Repositions brows that have drooped with age
• IPL laser – Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – Most would agree that Arrested Development character Lindsay Bluth-Funke looked much different in the season four premiere than in past episodes. But is that difference enough to accuse Portia De Rossi of plastic surgery?

According to articles like this one from Hollywood Life, it is. The article revealed exclusive reports from surgeons who believe that the “work” De Rossi had done may include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, Botox and fillers such as Juvederm.

“It’s true that De Rossi did look different in in the show’s most recent episode but, I would not be quick to say she has had plastic surgery,” says Dr. Andrew Miller, a plastic surgeon in New York City. “As a plastic surgeon I feel that it should be the patient’s choice to share their procedures with others. Patients shouldn’t be made to feel pressure to address such topics.”

Plastic Surgery Etiquette 101
When it comes to addressing an “alleged” plastic surgery, you only need to remember one thing:

If they don’t tell, don’t ask or – since we are on the subject – publicly speculate. Why? Because going under the knife is a personal choice and experience. Many of those who choose to have surgery are already somewhat sensitive about their appearance like De Rossi, who has battled an eating disorder in the past. Plus you may be accusing someone of having work done when they never had.

“What they can do in Hollywood to change and actor/actresses appearance is amazing,” says Dr. Miller, a mini face lift expert. “It is very possible that De Rossi’s transformation was achieved by a skilled professional with face lift tape and some handy makeup application.”

One defense to Portia De Rossi’s new look is that when in character, she wears a long, blonde wig to hide her sleek bob.

“A new hair ‘do can definitely change your whole appearance,” says Dr. Miller. “When a patient has a procedure and wants to divert the attention from the work they have had done I always suggest changing their hairstyle or color to keep onlookers guessing.”

That’s not to say that we agree De Rossi has had work done. Although De Rossi looked different in character, while in attendance at the show’s season premiere, she looked much more like the natural beauty we all know and love.

“De Rossi is a beautiful woman; in or out of character,” says Dr. Miller, a NY tummy tuck expert. “If she’s had work done and chooses to keep it private, I hope others will respect her decision.”

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – Most women (and men) would agree that curves on women are flattering – especially when they are in all the right places. But what if yours aren’t?

With the help of a plastic surgeon and key procedures like a breast lift and Brazilian butt lift, your curves can be “relocated” to perkier, sexier positions, in – get this – a single day.

Brazilian butt lift: More than a raise for your rear
The Brazilian butt lift repositions and reshapes the buttocks by injecting your own, processed fat – harvested through liposuction – into your buttock.

“This is where it is pays to have preexisting curves – even if they are in the wrong places,” says Dr. Elliot Heller, a NYC liposuction expert. “If a patient is extremely thin, she will either be advised to gain weight in a healthy manner or opt for butt implants. What’s nice about gaining weight or having a little excess fat to begin with is that it allows us to enhance your results with targeted contouring via liposuction.”

Fat is generally harvested from areas around the buttocks such as the midsection, lower back, hips, thighs and love handles. The patient’s body type and desired results help to determine where the majority of fat will be harvested.

If you have an apple-shaped figure, which is characterized by fat accumulation isolated to your midsection, fat will be harvested from your tummy, lower back and love handles to whittle your waist.

Women who gain weight mostly in their lower half (pear shaped) will benefit most from liposuction of their hips and thighs.

Once an appropriate amount of fat has been harvested, it is processed and artfully reinjected into the buttocks with specialized cannulas. The cannulas not only allow for optimal control of fat placement, but also dramatically reduce the risk for infection since the procedure is closed.

It’s important to seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon in NY if interested in a Brazilian butt lift since, as mentioned earlier, he or she may want you to lose or gain a certain amount of weight to ensure that the procedure is feasible and your results are optimal.

What about the girls?
Chances are, if you have curves in all the wrong places they aren’t only isolated to your lower half, but your upper half as well. Yes, we are talking about the girls – your breasts. If you have ample sized breasts, the saying “the bigger they are, the harder they fall” probably hits close to home.

“Larger breast are more apt to sag,” says Dr. Heller. “While they may look good in a bra, they are more often a source of insecurity than pride.”

Breast lift
A breast lift is a procedure that uses a surgical incision to raise and reshape the breasts.

There are several types of breast lift techniques/procedures that can be used to:

• Lift and maintain breast size
• Lift and reduce breast size
-Or-
• Lift and increase breast size

Depending on the condition of your breasts and the results you desire, your surgeon will determine the appropriate technique to use.

One aspect of a breast lift that shouldn’t be overlooked is scarring. Even though surgeons take care to place incisions in areas that make scarring less visible, because the incisions are made on the breast, some level of scarring will remain. However, the dramatic improvement is worth the sacrifice of a minor scar or two.

If you are interested in sculpting your body with a Brazilian butt lift, breast lift or Smartlipo, feel free to contact Allure Plastic Surgery for a free, no obligation consultation.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – Wouldn’t it be great if for Father’s Day, you could give that special man in your life a gift so grand that it changes his life? Of course it would.

A gift so grand, it would put a smile on his face and possibly improve his relationships and even career. Too bad you can’t give him the gift of confidence for Father’s Day – or can you?

Plastic surgery boosts confidence

According to research published by Clinical Psychological Science, if he has ever expressed dislike with any of his features say, his crooked nose, receding hairline, stubborn belly fat or enlarged breasts, plastic surgery can increase his quality of life.

The goal of the long-term study conducted by professors at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, was to determine if people who choose to have plastic surgery are different from people who don’t or wanted to but changed their mind, identify what goals they set for themselves prior to surgery and whether or not surgery achieves those goals.
The results revealed that plastic surgery patients were no different psychologically than anyone else, didn’t set unattainable goals for surgery and reaped the following benefits from their procedures:

• They felt healthier
•  Developed better self-esteem
• They felt less anxious
• Felt area operated on functioned better post-op
• Felt more attractive in general

No negative affects were identified and there seemed to be a high rate of physical and psychological improvement for patients.

“If there is one pay-off for the work we do that trumps all others, it’s seeing the confidence of our patients soar when we help them improve their unwanted features,” says Dr. Elliot Heller, a Manhattan liposuction practitioner.
If you think your man would appreciate a boost in confidence, the following Allure Plastic Surgery procedures are always in high demand among men wanting a change:

• Tummy tuck (removes loose stomach skin and fat)
• Liposuction (clears stubborn belly fat)
• Male breast reduction (reduces enlarged breast tissue or loose skin)
• Hair removal (eliminates hairy backs and a unibrow)
• Hair transplant (hides balding)
• Laser tattoo removal (erases embarrassing ink)

If you are worried he may become offended by you footing the bill for his improvement, don’t. As long as the procedure is for improvement he has expressed interest in and not simply something on your wish list, he will appreciate your financial and emotional support.

We only advise that you seek a plastic surgeon in Manhattan who is experienced in the type of procedure he will be having. And almost importantly, wish that special man in your life a Happy Father’s Day from us here at Allure Plastic Surgery.
