If you feel insecure about the size of your penis, you aren’t alone. Almost every man at some point has questioned his length or girth. And celebrity selfies, like we saw from Usher last week, can leave you wondering how you measure up.

Not surprisingly, one study reported in the Journal of Sex Medicine found that among the hundreds of male military personnel (all under 40) that the researchers interviewed, a lack of confidence in the appearance of their genitalia resulted in sexual anxiety and could even lead to sexual dysfunction.

At Allure Plastic Surgery, we understand that penis size is a serious concern for your sexual and overall wellbeing. Along with non-surgical options, we offer patients surgical alternatives to enhance the appearance of the penis.

The three basic penis enlargement surgeries:

• Lengthen the penis by releasing the ligament that suspends the penis, which reveals more of the length of the penis. The use of weights or stretching devices is required daily for a few months after this procedure to prevent reattachment.
• Widen the penis by implanting fat, silicone, or tissue grafts.
• Reveal more of the penis by removing excess sagging skin from the pubic region. Liposuction can be used in addition to remove excess fat from the region to reveal additional length.

We have had success with all of these procedures for many male patients. With male enhancement surgery, subtle changes can make a big difference. Male enhancement surgery works not only to improve the appearance of your penis, but to improve your outlook on your sexual capabilities and avoid humiliations like sexual anxiety and erectile dysfunction.

During your consultation, we will listen to your specific concerns and your plastic surgeon will recommend the best procedure to help you achieve the results you are looking for.

In a recent survey by The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 64% of plastic surgeons reported a marked increase in the number of patients under 30 who are choosing to undergo procedures. What are all these Millennials requesting?

BOTOX®

The rise of the selfie has prompted many young women and men to visit plastic surgeons’ offices to erase the signs of aging in their faces. Wanting to appear youthful and vibrant on social media is a motivating factor for many Millenials, and they aren’t afraid to talk about it.

Brazilian Butt Lift

2014 may have been deemed “the year of the booty,” but with this trend showing no signs of fading, this may be the decade of the booty. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj are still admired for their curvaceous figures and fans remain eager to copy their curves with fat transfer procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift. 

Breast Augmentation

The most popular procedure in the last twenty years is becoming one of the most requested procedures by Millenials who want to round out their curves with breast enhancements.

Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures among our New York patients and plastic surgery patients across the nation. It is no surprise then, that myths abound about what liposuction is and what results you can achieve by undergoing liposuction.

We will dispel some of the most common myths here, but if you have specific questions about choosing liposuction to get rid of stubborn fat on your body, please call Allure Plastic Surgery at (212) 661-2563.

Myth: Liposuction Is Good for Weight Loss

While liposuction does remove stubborn fatty deposits, it is not intended to be used as a weight loss tool. It is a body sculpting procedure. You should be at or near your ideal weight before undergoing liposuction.

Myth: Only Women Get Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most requested procedures from our male patients. As a body contouring tool, liposuction can help men achieve the toned, sculpted look that workouts alone cannot give them. At Allure Plastic Surgery, we offer abdominal etching for our male patients to accentuate the “six pack” abs everyone covets.

Myth: Liposuction Is the Same Thing as a Tummy Tuck

Although liposuction and tummy tuck are often used in conjunction to help our patients achieve the look they want, these are different procedures with different goals. Liposuction removes unwanted fat in a particular region and can be effective on almost any area of the body. Tummy tuck surgically removes sagging skin and excess tissue from the abdominal region.

Myth: Liposuction Doesn’t Require Any Recovery Time

Liposuction does require less recovery time than other types of plastic surgery, however, your body will still require time to heal from liposuction. Based on the extent of your procedure, you may need a few days to two weeks for your recovery. During your consultation, we will discuss exactly what to expect from your procedure, but you will want to schedule some time off for healing from liposuction.

Myth: You May Be Too Old for Liposuction

Age is just a number. If you are generally healthy, you may be a great candidate for liposuction at almost any age. The best way to determine your eligibility for the procedure is to discuss your goals and any health concerns with one of our plastic surgeons.

Although labiaplasty is known for decreasing the discomfort associated with enlarged or protruding labia, one of the reasons many women choose to undergo labiaplasty is to improve their sex life.

Whether you are embarrassed by the appearance of your genitals or want to increase sexual function, labiaplasty may be the right plastic surgery procedure for you. With labiaplasty, we can reshape the labia under local anesthesia in order to provide a more appealing appearance. This reshaping can also provide greater exposure of the clitoris, which allows for increased stimulation and greater sexual satisfaction.

Many of our patients choose labiaplasty after childbirth to repair the genital area. We may also recommend vaginoplasty to reverse the relaxation of the vaginal walls that often occurs during childbirth. In a confidential consultation with one of our surgeons at Allure Plastic Surgery, we can discuss your options and help you select the appropriate procedure for your goals.

Are you interested in how labiaplasty can increase your satisfaction with your appearance and sexual activity? Call Allure Plastic Surgery today at (212) 661-2563 to schedule your consultation with one of our highly skilled and experienced New York plastic surgeons. We welcome patients throughout New York City, Manhattan, and Long Island.

At Allure Plastic Surgery in New York, we work with each patient to achieve the results that best suit their body and cosmetic goals. There is no right size breast implant for everyone. There is only the right size for you right now. Our experienced breast surgeons can help you choose the breast implant size that works well with your body.

You may have read about women, like Lacey Wildd, who have undergone multiple breast augmentations for increasingly larger breasts. It may be difficult to imagine wanting size QQQ breasts, but it is true that some women feel the need to increase their breast size after wearing implants for a while.

In considering how big is too big for your breast implants, you should think about your own lifestyle and how larger breasts will fit your body and your daily routine. Breasts that are too large can limit physical activities and the clothing choices available to you. The excess weight of large breasts can also cause back or neck pain and lead to sagging over time.

Are you interested in discussing the right size breast implants to achieve your aesthetic goals? Call Allure Plastic Surgery today at (212) 661-2563 to schedule your consultation with an experienced New York plastic surgeon. We welcome patients throughout New York City, Manhattan, and Long Island.

Choosing to undergo rhinoplasty is a personal decision for each of our New York area patients. You should weigh your own personal pros and cons about the procedure and discuss your rhinoplasty in detail with an experienced plastic surgeon before you elect nose surgery.

The advantages to rhinoplasty may include:

• Increased self-confidence. Your nose is one of the most prominent features on your face. Knowing that you are facing the world with a nose that provides balance and beauty to your appearance will increase your confidence.
• Better health. A side effect of increased self-confidence is taking better care of yourself. Whether or not your rhinoplasty leads to easier breathing, it can certainly lead to a more fulfilling lifestyle when you embrace the world with confidence.
• Easier breathing. For some patients, rhinoplasty can alleviate breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or sleep apnea.

The reasons you may want to reconsider rhinoplasty may include:

• Unrealistic expectations. Although rhinoplasty can feel life changing, it cannot change your life. You should only undergo plastic surgery to please yourself, not others, and you should talk with your surgeon about realistic expectations for the outcome of your procedure.
• Length of recovery time. Rhinoplasty is major surgery and will require several days to weeks of recovery time depending on the invasiveness of your procedure. You need to be prepared for taking adequate time to rest and heal.
• Cost. Although financing options are available, rhinoplasty is an elective procedure that is generally not covered by insurance. You should discuss the cost of your specific procedure with your surgeon.

Ariel Winter, the eighteen-year-old star of Modern Family, made headlines last June when she underwent a breast reduction to reduce her 32F sized breasts to a 34D.  In February, she showed off her new body confidence at the SAG awards by choosing a dress that left her scars visible.

She is making waves once again by writing an emotional essay for Motto, a website from the editors of Time, about choosing breast reduction. In her own words, Ariel described some of her reasons for undergoing a breast reduction:

“It’s really difficult to be such a small girl and have so much weight on your chest. You physically hurt. You can’t find clothes that fit right. I couldn’t find a cute bathing suit. Everything looked like I was trying to be ‘sexy.’ It didn’t help that I didn’t look like any of my friends my age.”

Winter emphasized that her choice wasn’t just about how she looked, it was about how she felt. “Having so much weight on my frame was affecting me psychologically. I was uncomfortable and unhappy. I chose surgery because of how I felt, not because of what anyone else thought.”

And she shared how the surgery changed her life: “Afterward, I automatically felt so much happier and just better physically. My back and shoulders didn’t hurt anymore! The first thing I wanted to do was go clothing shopping because I was so excited to be able to find things that fit properly instead of hiding in a baggy sweater. That meant the world to me.”
