Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, replete with hot and hazy days, sun-drenched activities, and vacation time. This September, New York City welcomes back not only students for school, but many adults who will resume in-person office work. Some patients opted to undergo plastic surgery procedures over the summer to improve and rejuvenate their appearance so they could look their best before heading back to the office. In addition, patients from out of state and abroad benefited from lifting of travel restrictions to undergo cosmetic surgery with us in NYC while also visiting the city.
Our top aesthetic surgery procedures this summer included:
- rhinoplasty
- to narrow and refine a wide or boxy tip, smooth out a bridge bump, and straighten a crooked nose or deviated septum
- breast augmentation with both breast implants and fat injections as an “all-natural” alternative
- to restore volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding, increase bust size, and improve breast symmetry
- eyelid lift
- to improve lid contour, correct teartrough deformity, and eliminate undereye bags and wrinkles
- facelift and neck lift
- to remove excess skin, correct jowls, and rejuvenate aging facial features
- breast lift and breast reduction
- to lift sagging breasts, reposition low nipples, and remove excess breast tissue
This summer, a significant number of plastic surgery patients underwent revisions of prior procedures done elsewhere, such as breast implant removal and replacement, whereas a greater proportion of patients, as before, consisted of teenagers and men.
As pandemic related health safety recommendations continue to evolve, cosmetic surgery patients are reminded to abide by strict post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and lessen the risk of complications. The vast majority of patients, regardless of the time of year or season, benefit from aesthetic surgery procedures that improve both their physical appearance and psychological well-being. For best results, choose an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic surgery, as indicated by membership in the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
