October 16, 2023/in Belly button surgery, Brazilian Butt Lift, Plastic Surgery /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

Dr. Schulman would like to mention his 3 most common plastic surgery procedures in NYC. These procedures included cosmetic procedures of the face and body, as well as reconstructive surgery from head to toe.

To come up with his “Top 3”, He looked at several factors including the number of cosmetic procedures performed, media requests about these cosmetic procedures, and overall demand.

#3 Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, often called a “boob job,” enhances breast size using implants or fat transfer. It restores volume, shape, and symmetry. 
 
Breast augmentation surgery achieves:
  • Enhanced breast fullness and projection
  • Improved breast-hip contour balance
  • Boosted self-image and confidence.

Dr. Schulman does a lot breast augmentations each year with plastic surgery patients coming from all over the country to book these popular cosmetic surgery procedures. Plastic surgery patients usually come for more than one procedure and combine breast augmentation with other procedures like tummy tuck and breast lift.

Umbilicoplasty

The demand for belly button surgery or Umbilicoplasty has continued to increase over the past several years. Common requests are to make an “outie” into an “inne”, remove that overhanging “hood” of skin, or remove the remnants of a belly button piercing. The beauty of this procedure is that I can perform a significant improvement in the comfort of my office, using only local anesthetic and under 45 minutes.

My patients complain of only a small amount of soreness that lasts for 1-2 days afterwards, making this an extremely easy recovery as far as plastic surgery procedures go. In 2011, I performed several belly button surgeries per week, and drew patients from all over the tri-state area and as far away as London. I have basically become known as “the belly button plastic surgeon” because I perform a large number of this very uncommon procedure.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Requests for the Brazilian butt lift has definitely increased. With continued media focus on Beyonce, JLo, and Pippa Middleton, request for a lifted and fuller backside was through the roof. To improve the shape of the buttock, Dr. Schulman uses a new plastic surgery technique that combines liposuction and fat injection. Commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, this technique involves removing fat from the areas around the buttock (the outer thighs and lower back), processing this fat, and reinjecting it into the buttock.

The result is a rounder, fuller, and more lifted backside. While there are many plastic surgeons performing this procedure, Dr. Schulman has added several techniques to the procedure that I think improves my results and increases fat survival. In addition to meticulous liposuction and fat harvesting techniques, He adds specialized growth factors to the fat before he reinjects it.

This addition of growth factors is unique to my practice and it is one of the reasons why people are choosing me over the numerous other surgeons offering Brazilian Butt Lifts.

September 29, 2023/in Plastic Surgery, Smooth Tuck, Tummy Tuck /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, I am always looking for the latest advances in cosmetic plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery. Techniques and Technologies are constantly evolving.

Many of these new methods are really nothing new, but every once in a while something really exciting comes along that allows me to offer my patients better results with less pain, recovery, and scarring. There have been a few of these advances that I am really excited about.

These include surgical procedures like Smooth Tuck®, Keller Funnel™, and PermaLip™.

Smooth Tuck®

Smooth Tuck® is a surgical technique that I developed as a less invasive alternative to the traditional tummy tuck. Smooth Tuck® is a unique combination of high volume liposuction of the upper and lower abdomen and flanks, with removal of excess skin, and repositioning and rejuvenation of the belly button. Who is a candidate? Someone who is a good candidate for the traditional tummy tuck but desires a procedure with high the recovery and pain.

Also, people who are considered “too obese” for a traditional tummy tuck are good candidates because of the high volume liposuction. Compared to the traditional tummy tuck, Smooth Tuck® removes 3 times as much fat (an average of 3 liters), back to work in 7-10 days (compared to 14-21 days), and ½ the pain as determined by the amount of prescription pain medicine required. Smooth Tuck® has been featured on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, The Doctors, and Life & Style Weekly.

Currently it is only available with me at my New York City office and has attracted patients from around the globe. 

Keller Funnel™

Keller Funnel™ is an innovative device used to help with the insertion of silicone gel breast implants. This device resembles a pastry bag. Using this device has revolutionized my breast augmentation practice. I am now able to insert even large gel implants through the tiniest incisions.

In fact, my average incision length for breast implants is 1.18 inches! Other advantages include: less pain, less risk of infection, less risk of implant rupture, and less chance of capsular contracture or “hardening of the implant”. As one of only a few plastic surgeons in the New York area using this technology, I have become among the most sought after cosmetic breast surgeons in New York City.

I have integrated this funnel into my surgical breast lift technique and now offer an “ultra-short-scar, rapid-recovery breast augmentation.” 

Permalip™

PermaLip™ is the latest in permanent lip augmentation. This soft, solid silicone rubber implant can be inserted into the upper or lower lip, giving a permanently fuller lip that looks, and feels, natural. This has allowed me to offer my patients a fuller pout, without the pain, cost, and inconsistency of temporary injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvaderm. I was among the first plastic surgeons in New York to try PermaLip™.

Now, several years later, I have among the largest experience with this implant in the country. The procedure is done in my office using only local anesthesia. The added benefit is an incredible cost savings. Temporary fillers can cost upwards of $700 and the results last about 6 months. This means that plumping your lips and maintaining this look for 5 years with temporary fillers will cost over $7500! At a cost of $2500 for one implant, and $4000 for two implants, this is a huge savings.

In fact, Life & Style Weekly called it “a steal”. 

Now there seems to be another option. I have been using PermaLip, a permanent silicone implant for the lips. These implants are solid silicone rubber that is soft and flexible. They are manufactured with tapered ends, making them very natural appearing when placed in the lips.

The soft nature of the implant allows them to move naturally with lip motion. Additionally, they do not elicit an inflammatory response, making it easy to remove if necessary. This makes the PermaLip a safe option for permanent lip augmentation.

Unlike with injectable fillers, the results are consistent overlying skin, and not soley dependent on the skill of your injector.

Permalip™ Cost

The implants are placed in a short in-office procedure requiring only local anesthesia. These is some swelling and bruising after the procedure that may last for one week. However, with a cost of approximately $3000 for both upper and lower lip, this is a cost effective option for women who desire permanently fuller lips.

So, by adding these 3 procedures to my cosmetic plastic surgery practice, I am able to offer my patients the latest (and “greatest”) ways to rejuvenate their face and body.
