Memorial Day is a time to honor, reflect, and remember those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

In the past, there was a definite stigma against cosmetic procedures for men. With each passing year, that stigma has been fading, with men representing a growing share of both surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Men want to remain youthful and attractive as they get older, and are increasingly turning to procedures like liposuction.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgical procedure involving the suctioning of fat from places like the thighs and arms. The fat is vacuumed out through a tube that is inserted through small incisions.

Who makes the best candidate for a liposuction procedure?

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has stated that the best candidates for liposuction are:

The best way to determine if you would make a good candidate for liposuction is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon.

What areas does liposuction treat?

Liposuction should not be considered as an obesity treatment. It cannot treat cellulite.

How long does it take to recover from liposuction?

To resume light activities, it should take from one to three days. It can take weeks or months for all post-procedure swelling to resolve.

What is laser liposuction?

The goal of a laser liposuction treatment is the same as with regular liposuction: removing unwanted fat. The difference is that a laser liposuction uses a medical laser instead of conventional surgery.

A laser fiber will be inserted into the treatment area. The laser melts the fat, which is then suctioned out. In many cases, incisions are not sutured following a laser lipo. Instead, surgical dressings may be applied to allow for the drainage of fluids in a natural way.

What is the treatment process like for laser liposuction?

The laser will be directed into the skin to break down fat cells. It creates openings in the membranes of the treated fat cells, resulting in the release of the contents of the fat cells into the bloodstream. This shrinks the size of the fat cells, leading to a more slim and contoured body profile.

The waste products from the fat cells are then transferred to the lymphatic system for eventual elimination from the body.

One last optional step following a laser lipo is the use of a special vibration machine that can assist the body in ridding itself of the fat cell waste.

Who makes a good candidate for laser liposuction?

Basically, the same people who make good candidates for regular liposuction are also eligible for laser lipo. Your eligibility can be determined during your consultation.

What is the recovery time for laser liposuction?

Most people are able to resume their normal activities in one or two days.

How common is liposuction for men?

Men account for approximately 11 percent of total liposuction procedures. So, although their share is smaller than that of women, it is still a significant number. And that number continues to grow as the social stigma around plastic surgery for men continues to fade.

Happy Mother's Day Image

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Spring is here and before you know it summer will too! While you may have been trying to diet and exercise as part of your New Year’s resolution, your results may not be what you wanted. Regardless, Dr. Glasberg can perform procedures that can help you on your way to the summer body you are looking for. 

Some of the procedures that will help you get you in shape for the summer include:

Liposuction, also known as liposculpting

Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures and can enhance your silhouette and restore a more slender appearance to your body. Dr. Glasberg is a liposuction specialist, located in Manhattan, and has years of experience with positive reviews from patients about the appearance and shapeliness of their results.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can help you achieve your goals for your appearance and help you feel more comfortable in your skin. If you have always desired larger, fuller, or more even breasts, this procedure could be the right option for you. Dr. Scot Bradley Glasberg can help you by creating natural, beautiful results that reflect your desires for your appearance.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the overdevelopment of male breasts. It can affect between 40 to 60 percent of men. The cause of gynecomastia can be the result of hormonal imbalance, obesity, certain drugs, or heredity, and can affect one or both breasts. If you are a good candidate, a male breast reduction can reshape the contours of your breasts post-surgery.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses pulsed laser energy to remove unwanted hair from nearly any area of the body while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Common areas on which laser hair removal is performed are the chin, upper lip, chest, underarms, back, bikini line, and legs.

Spider Vein Removal

Spider veins are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They appear most commonly on the face and legs and may look like a series of lines, tree branches, or spider webs. There are several types of laser treatment available and spider veins can be treated over the course of several treatment sessions. 

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and safe for use by most patients. Many of the fillers are made from substances found naturally in the body and are used to restore volume and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Glasberg offers patients several different dermal filler options in order to provide the best possible results for their individual needs.

BOTOXⓇ Cosmetic

Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic can block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines.

The Importance Of Choosing A Skilled, Experienced Surgeon

Getting ready for the summer includes making sure that your surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Glasberg and his team are committed to providing you with the best possible results and look forward to scheduling your consultation and answering any questions you may have.

Getting the body of your dreams is something that many individuals aspire to achieve no matter the age, race or creed. Feeling comfortable in the skin that you’re in will certainly have anyone oozing with confidence. Unfortunately, the majority of individuals in society today have less-than-perfect physiques. There are many ways to get a body that’s functional while turning heads in the process. Of course, eating healthy and working out are high on the menu, but there are other ways to get a better body in a fraction of the time.

Liposuction

A tried-and-true way of slimming down in a fraction of the time is via liposuction. Incisions are made within your skin in which a surgical tube is used to suck out unwanted fat cells. Liposuction is very popular and has been used for years to reconfigure certain areas of the body such as the stomach, lower back, and upper thighs. Downtime can be up to six weeks and is required since this procedure is considered to be an invasive treatment that can leave bruising and soreness. Since the 1980s, liposuction has been used to produce slimmer, more-tones bodies. When comparing liposuction with other noninvasive treatments, patients can expect higher costs. Many of your favorite celebrities have gone down the lip route on multiple occasions throughout the years.

Body Contouring

Body contouring is another fine treatment that’s used to produce a slimmer physique. Body contouring just so happens to be a non-invasive treatment that’s considered to be more efficient since patients can expect less downtime and lower expenses. This alternative procedure can use either heat or cold to melt the fat away in a since. Unlike its popular counterpart, body contouring takes away the risks of obtaining blood clots as well as other health complications. People who have good skin elasticity and are of ideal body weight are perfect candidates. Individuals who are trying to reduce fat in smaller areas and trouble spots are also ideal candidates. There are many different names and types that will fall underneath this particular category of medical aesthetics.

CoolSculpting is non-invasive and is used to freeze fat cells in which the body naturally removes as waste. Another form of body contouring is Thermage CPT in which pulse technology is used to tighten the skin. VenusFreeze can be used for facial contouring, skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.

In the end, your personal health condition can play a major role in which medical-aesthetic treatment is right for you. If your health is fairly stable across the board, then you’ll definitely have many more options to contend with via invasive or non-invasive surgery.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery. Of course, rhinoplasty in New York City can help you to adjust the size and contours of your nose and help you to achieve your aesthetic goals. Board-certified NYC plastic surgeon Scot Bradley Glasberg, MD, can work with you to provide a personalized, individualized plan to reshape, reduce or augment your nose in order to achieve your aesthetic goals or to correct medical concerns, such as repairing an injury or improving breathing. There are many benefits of rhinoplasty to consider when determining whether nose surgery is the right choice for you.

Cosmetic Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Of course, you may choose rhinoplasty for the cosmetic benefits. This procedure can reshape and change the appearance of your nose. You may want to alter the size of your nose or address other aesthetic concerns about its appearance. Popular reasons for choosing rhinoplasty in New York include removing bumps from the bridge of the nose, evening out uneven nostrils, or altering the silhouette to achieve a more balanced result. Rhinoplasty can also address the effects of previous injuries, such as a broken nose, that have healed incorrectly over time.

Whether you want to reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip to appear rounder or less round, reduce or widen the nostrils, change the angle of the nose, straighten a crooked nose or address its shape, rhinoplasty can help you achieve your goals.

For many people in NYC, rhinoplasty also provides a major confidence boost. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, achieving your aesthetic vision for your face can give you a new pleasure in your self-image, encouraging you to enjoy social events and shift your self-image and attitude. When you feel good about your appearance, you are more likely to take on activities and interactions that you may have otherwise avoided. Of course, nose surgery is not a panacea for emotional concerns or a poor self-image, and it is important to have a realistic understanding of the outcomes. However, if you simply want to change the appearance of your nose to fit your aesthetic goals, rhinoplasty can help you boost your confidence and achieve your vision to put your best face forward.

Health Benefits of Rhinoplasty

In addition, rhinoplasty can also offer health benefits for many people in New York. Nose surgery can help you to improve your breathing and improve the flow of oxygen. Rhinoplasty can repair a deviated septum, widen the nostrils or address other concerns that affect your breathing. Even correcting prior damage to the nose, such as an old broken nose, may help some people to breathe more freely.

You may have dealt with breathing impairments from birth, or changes to your nose could develop over time. Rhinoplasty can help to improve your sleep, diminish snoring or even help stop sleep apnea. Problems inside the nose can also contribute to inflammation and sinus infections, and rhinoplasty can help to resolve these concerns.

Whether you want to change the appearance of your nose to achieve your aesthetic vision, correct a previously broken nose or address birth defects or breathing problems, rhinoplasty in NYC may be the right choice for you.

Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that can help people to change the contour and appearance of their bodies by removing fat from specific, targeted areas. Many people are uncomfortable with the appearance of certain areas of the body. They may hesitate to wear a swimsuit or more revealing types of clothing, especially after the changes that may accompany pregnancy, aging, or weight gain and loss. Stubborn excess fat or bulging skin can persist despite diet and exercise, and liposuction provides a means to make a change to those “trouble spots.”

For people in NYC looking to eliminate stubborn excess fat, liposuction may be a solution. This surgical procedure may be performed on the hips, belly, thighs, back, buttocks, arms or under the chin; it may be performed alone or alongside other plastic surgeries, including breast lifts or reductions, tummy tucks, or facelifts.

Achieve your aesthetic goals

Liposuction can help you appear slimmer and more toned, and it can help you obtain the contours you desire, such as a more curvy or hourglass appearance. The most obvious benefits of liposuction are the changes it makes to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and enhance the contour and shape of your body.

This procedure is suitable for women and men who want to make a change in their appearance. For men with gynecomastia or excessive breast tissue, liposuction can help to address these concerns. Liposuction can help you to shape the physical appearance you want to show off.

Enjoy long-lasting results

Diet and exercise can be lifelong changes, but the results can be slow to appear on the body and never fully reach the toned look you want to see. Liposuction provides a firm, smooth look to the skin and body, and it produces long-lasting results. As long as your weight remains stable, you can expect the benefits of your liposuction to continue.

Address health and medical concerns

Liposuction can also help people struggling with certain medical concerns. Lipomas, benign fatty tumors that can appear as small bulges under the skin, may be removed in some cases with liposuction. People with a metabolic disturbance called lipodystrophy syndrome, which leads to an unusual or disproportionate fat distribution in the body, can achieve symmetry with liposuction.

Inspire continued well-being

In order to keep the results of liposuction intact, people must take care to avoid future weight gain. Therefore, liposuction can inspire an even greater commitment to healthful living. People who receive liposuction are often more committed to diet and exercise following the procedure. In addition, many people feel much more confident about themselves and their bodies after liposuction, helping to inspire an active lifestyle.

See immediate changes and persistent results

The results of liposuction are visible right away. While some swelling may continue during the recovery period, you can see the changes made to your body with liposuction right away. Dr. Glasberg makes use of the latest, most advanced liposuction procedures. As a Manhattan board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Glasberg can advise you about the best techniques to minimize discomfort and produce the most natural, beautiful results.

If you want to make a change in certain areas of your body, boost body confidence, or wear a bikini or a body-conscious dress with pride, liposuction may be a good option to help you achieve your goals. Dr. Glasberg takes an individualized approach to each person that produces beautiful, natural-looking, slender results.
