In the past few years, China has seen a cosmetic surgery boom as more Chinese seek to enhance their appearance with plastic surgery procedures. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, China’s plastic surgeries account for 13 percent of plastic surgery procedures performed around the world, making China the third largest country for plastic surgery procedures.
Many patients are seeking eyelid surgery to reshape their eyes for a larger, more western appearance. College graduates are improving their looks to improve their chances in the increasingly competitive job market.
While procedures are performed with some of the same techniques we employ in the US, the standard of patient care is not what you would expect in the US. In many facilities, patients meet their surgeon on the day of surgery and are on the operating table within a few hours.
At Allure Plastic Surgery in New York, you can expect the highest quality patient care. We take time during your consultation to really understand what you are hoping to achieve through surgery and will recommend the right procedures to get the results you want.

With recent celebrity breast reductions like Ariel Winter’s procedure still in the news, many women are reconsidering the size of their breast implants. According to a recent industry survey by RealSelf, women are twice as likely to seek smaller implants than they have in years past.
In part, the smaller breast trend is due to changing beauty standards in Hollywood. When asked which celebrity breasts they most admire, more women are pointing to the smaller cleavage of stars like Kate Hudson and Gwen Stefani.
Another factor in decreasing breast size is the increase in buttock augmentations. The focus of beauty standards is currently on a shapelier behind balanced by smaller, shapelier breasts instead of the fuller figures admired in celebrities like Christina Hendricks just a few years ago.
At Allure Plastic Surgery, we encourage women to select the breast implant size that makes them feel most comfortable and confident with their body. During your consultation, we can discuss your implant size options and select the size that lets you feel natural and shapely.

One of the hottest trends in plastic surgery today is the Brazilian butt lift. With celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj making the world take notice of their curvaceous physiques, more and more women are choosing Brazilian butt lifts to enhance their own figures. Before you decide to undergo this procedure to add curves to your silhouette, make sure you know the answers to these essential questions.
Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Right for Me?
A Brazilian butt lift is not right for everyone. With the help of an experienced plastic surgeon, you can decide if it is right for you. Good candidates for a Brazilian butt lift are in good general health with a sufficient amount of fat around their hips and waistlines to harvest for transfer to their buttocks.
When considering a Brazilian butt lift, you should consider all of your buttock enhancement options, such as buttock implants and the butt thread lift. In consultation with a plastic surgeon, you can get all of your questions answered and understand which procedure is the best one to give you the results you want.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
The Brazilian butt lift consists of three distinct parts: liposuction, fat processing, and fat injection. Your plastic surgeon should explain the process to you in detail so that all of your questions are answered and you feel confident in the procedure.
Fat is harvested from your hips and waist to give your body the best contours. This is performed with small, specialized tubes, called cannulas. The surgeon will usually remove fat from three difference areas.
Then the fat is processed to prepare it for injection. Processing the fat ensures that only healthy cells, free from debris, are ready to inject back into your buttocks. Healthy cells with good blood flow are necessary to sustain your results.
Lastly the surgeon strategically injects the fat in several locations in small quantities throughout the buttocks to ensure well-sculpted, youthful looking results. Several small injections instead of a few large injections also ensure that the injected fat will give you longer-lasting results.
Some harvested fat can be frozen for a follow-up injection in the months after your initial procedure.
How Long Will the Procedure Take?
To properly plan for the day of your procedure, you should have an understanding of how long the procedure will take and when you can expect to be released to return home.
Depending on your desired results, the Brazilian butt lift can take several hours. Harvesting smaller amounts of fat takes less time (2-3 hours) and larger amounts takes more time (4+ hours). The liposuction procedure itself can take a couple of hours, as well as the injection phase.
During your consultation with one of our experienced plastic surgeons at Allure Plastic Surgery, you will discuss the specifics for your procedure and what to expect on the day of your surgery.
What Will Recovery Be Like?
Recovery is different for each patient. Your body will heal at its own rate, but a general understanding of what to expect during recovery will help you plan when to undergo your procedure and when you can expect to return to normal activities afterward.
In general, after a Brazilian butt lift, you can expect minor bruising and swelling in the treatment areas. Most patients can return to work and most normal activities within a couple of days. Within 7-10 days, your body should be healed, and you can begin enjoying your results.
To ensure adequate time for healing, you will want to schedule your Brazilian butt lift a few weeks in advance of any special event, like an upcoming wedding or beach vacation.
What Results Can I Expect?
You can expect natural-looking results that enhance your overall figure. Your waist to hip ratio is important in achieving good results that show off the elegant balance of your contours. Our surgeons are mindful of how sculpting your waist, hips, and buttocks will impact your overall appearance and will plan and perform your procedure with these considerations in mind.
During your consultation, we will discuss what your expectations should be for your results to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your Brazilian butt lift.
Will I Need a Touch Up?
Your body will naturally absorb some of the injected fat from your procedure. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Most of the injected fat will stay in place and give you long-lasting results. However, we will reserve some of the harvested fat in frozen form to be used in subsequent injections to touch up your results if necessary in the months following your initial procedure.
What Are My Surgeon’s Qualifications?
This is probably the most important question you need to get answered before your procedure. You need to know that your plastic surgeon has the experience and skill necessary to give you the results you want.
When selecting your plastic surgeon, be sure to check out their before and after photos of past patients. Seeing the results achieved for other patients will give you a great idea of what results can be achieved for you.
You should also read patient reviews of the procedure and the surgeon. You want to make sure that you feel comfortable that your selected surgeon can give you the results you desire from your Brazilian butt lift.

A great facelift should result in a natural, more youthful appearance. At Allure Plastic Surgery in New York, we want to give you a refreshed look, not the stretched, unnatural appearance that often accompanies poorly done facelifts. Our goals for a great facelift include:
Ensuring you understand your options for facelift and facial rejuvenation.
Setting and exceeding your expectations for your refreshed look.
Enhancing your natural appearance by reversing the signs of aging in your face.
A great facelift can address the sagging and loss of fullness that time and gravity cause in your lower face and neck. However, for full facial rejuvenation, you may want to include a browlift, cheeklift, or fat injections in your surgical plan. These procedures can address other issues in the face, such as drooping brows, wrinkles or sagging cheeks. During your consultation at Allure Plastic Surgery, we will discuss your full range of options and recommend a combination of procedures that give you the refreshed face you are seeking.

Male breast reductions for teens aged 13-19 increased 14 percent over the last year – the largest increase in teens seeking plastic surgery according to the statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Male breast reduction is the third most requested cosmetic procedure among teens today.
Due to an imbalance in estrogen and testosterone, young males can develop larger breasts, which can lead to insecurities and poor self-esteem during their formative teen years. Male breast reduction, known as gynecomastia, can help these teens regain the confidence they need. This procedure has been available for decades, but with current trends in social media focusing on selfies and the individual’s appearance, many teens are turning to surgical intervention to correct these flaws.
Depending on the degree of glandular and fatty tissue involved, male breast reduction may consist of only liposuction or surgery to remove excess tissue in addition to liposuction. In consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, you can discuss the right options.
