World Renowned Plastic Surgeon Dr. Joel Studin

Some women are just unhappy with their breast shape, have very small breasts, or almost none at all! Others, have had their breast tissue melt away after pregnancies or weight fluctuation. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to increase the size, shape and appearance of the breasts or to help with symmetry. This surgery is performed to give women a more feminine appearance, as well as to restore breast volume lost due to aging or breastfeeding. Breast implants are made of silicone or saline (salt water). Today, most patients choose silicone implants, but this is something you should discuss at length in your consultation with the doctor. Dr. Studin feels that most breast implants should be completely under the pectoralis muscle for the most natural results, and importantly, for good mammograms later. There are unusual situations where they should be over the muscle, but this is something you should discuss at your consultation. The size and shape of an implant can be customized to meet a woman's needs and desires during your breast augmentation consultation. The initial consultation takes a significant amount of time because Dr. Studin feels there are a lot of things that a prospective patient should understand before making any decisions about what would be best for them. Dr. Studin takes approximately 30 minutes to do a breast augmentation from start to finish. Most people stay in the office for a few hours and then are home, and up at about that day. They are back to desk work in five days and back to the gym the third week. Plan to spend some time in your initial consultation to go over all of the possibilities, all of the implant and incision choices, and to learn about this type of surgery to make the best decision for you.

Hanging breasts can not only be unsightly, but they can also lead to rashes in the folds due to retained moisture. Aging, pregnancies and weight fluctuation can cause this problem. Sometimes, people have empty hanging breasts just due to bad luck from poor skin elasticity. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes the breasts, raises them and creates a much more youthful shape. It is also known as mastopexy. Often, if the breasts are truly empty, this procedure is combined with a breast augmentation with implants. Newer techniques have allowed Dr. Studin to perform this procedure with smaller lollipop incisions, leaving less telltale scarring. It usually takes Dr. Studin 60 to 90 minutes to do this procedure while you are asleep. You are home within a few hours and up and about that day. Most people go back to work or school in about 5 days and back to the gym in about 3 weeks. There is minimal to no pain associated with this due to newer techniques both in surgery and after.

While large breasts may seem desirable to some, most people find them very cumbersome. They make you look heavier, make it harder to fit clothing, make it harder to exercise and participate in sports, cause shoulder grooving from bra straps, and rashes under the breasts from trapped moisture. Large breasts can develop naturally in girls as young as 13 years old! Sometimes, they remain after pregnancy and breastfeeding in people who did not have very large breasts before pregnancy. However they occurred, many wish they had smaller, perkier breasts and a smaller figure overall.

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of a woman's breasts, remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin and lift the breasts to achieve a more proportional breast size and a more youthful shape. It takes Dr. Studin between one and two hours to do a breast reduction, depending upon the size of the breasts. You are home within a few hours and up and about that day. Most are back to work in about 5 days and back to the gym in about 3 weeks. There is minimal to no pain due to advances in both the surgical technique and post-op management. Most people are surprised as to how easy it actually is to go through.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular types of plastic surgery in the United States. Also called a nose job, the procedure is done to correct either a cosmetic deformity that happened naturally, or a cosmetic or structural problem that happened from an injury.

Rhinoplasty usually involves reducing and refining the size of the nose, correcting a bump on the bridge, changing its shape, or adjusting the projection of the nose from the face. Rhinoplasty can be done either open or closed. If a surgeon can do it closed, the small scar across the bottom of the nose is avoided.

Rhinoplasty can produce dramatic improvements in your overall appearance. You may have a crooked or asymmetrical nose that makes you feel self-conscious, or you may have breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or other structural abnormalities. Dr. Joel Studin is a renowned innovator in the field of plastic surgery. He has been practicing for over 30 years and has extensive experience with both functional and cometic rhinoplasties.

Chin implant surgery, also called genioplasty and chin augmentation, improves contours of the chin, neck and jawline. It can also improve the appearance your nose and often benefits the results of facelifting. A weak chin will often make a nose look too big, even when it is not. Combined with a facelift, a stronger chin improves not only the neck, but can give a more pleasing jawline and a more youthful look.

Chin implants involve placing an implant beneath the skin and muscle, and over the jaw. Because it is under natural tissue, the implant itself is usually invisible. The procedure done by Dr. Joel Studin uses a small incision under the chin, which is barely noticeable. The implant is then inserted through this incision and positioned in front of the jaw bone. There is minimal discomfort and if done alone, you can return to work or school within a few days.

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that combines liposuction and fat transfer to create an fuller buttock area. The surgery removes fat from areas of the body that are not desirable and transfers it to the buttocks. There has been a lot of very worrisome press about this procedure. Because of the high risk-profile for this procedure, Dr. Studin only performs it for severe deformities.

A tummy tuck tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a slimmer overall appearance. Having a flatter, firmer midsection, a narrower waist and eliminating the fat bulges of love handles will dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body.
During the procedure, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the waist narrowed. Excess, sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. Extra fat is removed by liposuction on the sides. Separated muscles, called diastasis recti, are brought together and repaired. Unless this is done, sit-ups for a flat belly won't work. Once the muscles are back where they belong, a six-pack is possible again! Tummy tucks are popular procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic changes from weight loss or pregnancy.

In some cases, a drain-free tummy tuck is possible. A tummy tuck takes about two hours and is performed asleep. It can be done in an outpatient setting, meaning you will go home that same day.

Are slim, beautiful something you only wished for? An arm lift is a very popular procedure that can solve that problem. This procedure, also called brachioplasty, is an operation that removes excess skin from the arm, tightens up underlying tissue, and removes the excess fat. The procedure is performed asleep and usually takes about 90 minutes to complete. The incision sites are designed to be mostly in the part of the arm that rests alongside the body, so scars are less visible and usually fade over time. Recovery time depends on how active you are, but most people return to work within a week and to full activity in the gym at 3 weeks with minimal discomfort.

An eye lift is a cosmetic procedure that can help you to look more refreshed and youthful. An Eye Lift, also known as Blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin from the eyelids and the fat bags that often protrude under the eyes. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or asleep, depending on the patient's preference and needs. A consultation with Dr. Studin will help you decide if an eye lift can work for you and what your options are with different types of procedures. in many cases comma it's possible to do lower eyelids with no external incision at all. This is something you should discuss at your consultation with Dr. Studin and review pictures of other patients to give you a good idea of what might be best for you.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that is done to improve the appearance of the neck, chin, and face. Related surgery can also be done to correct drooping eyelids, remove wrinkles and bags around the eyes, reshape the nose and elevate the brows. A facelift tightens the skin, removes excess fat and tightens facial muscles. The muscle work repositions the facial tissue so it looks more youthful and natural.

There are many stages and many types of aging of the face. It takes an experienced physician to help guide a person as to what is best for them. In some cases, it's just anti-aging creams, in others it's injectables, in others, it could be laser resurfacing. In many people though, the absolute best choice is a facelift. You have to be careful when going for a consultation to correct aging of the face. You've heard the expression when you're a hammer the whole world is a nail? If the doctor doesn't know how to do facelifts but has a laser, everybody gets a laser. Many plastic surgeons know how to do facelifts, but do not do laser resurfacing. It's simple to understand that texture problems need laser resurfacing, while drooping skin and fat needs a facelift. Sometimes, people need both for the best result.

Once a facelift has been decided on, there are many types of facelifts to discuss. From a mini-lift, to MACS, to SMAS and Deep Plane Facelift, which is best for you? Your plastic surgeon really needs to sit with you and go over the benefits of each and help you decide which is the right choice.

Dr. Studin is a board certified plastic surgeon, with decades of experience doing facelifts, but also did his initial laser work at Harvard Medical School and has taught laser facial surgery for decades. He does both, and tailors his recommendations to the individual needs of each patient.

Cosmetic injections are divided into 3 categories. Toxins, fillers, and tissue growth stimulants. Toxins include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and others. They are all different versions of botulinum toxin. Each has different benefits and all are safe and effective. You should decide which one is best for you after a discussion with Dr. Studin About the differences and the benefits. Dr. Studin personally performs all the injections in his practice. Decades of experience have taught him that there are ways to make people look very natural when this is performed properly. On the other hand, many people have come to Dr. Studin after having a bad experience with an inexperienced injector, because they have seen his patients and like the way they look and the experience that they had in the practice. With so many designer injectables available today, experience counts!

One of the newest popular procedures with toxins is called the Lip Flip. In the lip flip, Botox is injected into the lip border to relax the muscles. The portion of the lip that is hidden inside rolls out creating a fuller-looking lip without actually making it bigger. There are pros and cons to this that you should discuss with Dr. Studin if you are considering a Lip Flip. Some people love the idea, others will opt for fillers instead.

Fillers include Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, and many others. Your injectors experience has never counted more than it does today. There are so many designer fillers, and each one has different properties. Used properly, you can get amazing results. Now however, you not only have to be a skilled injector and have an artistic eye towards what will look natural, but you have to be expert and experienced in the fine differences between the many different fillers you can choose from.

Tissue growth stimulants like Sculptra stimulate growth of your own tissue over a few months after they are injected. Again, experience is very important because you don't see the results immediately. The doctor needs to know what's going to happen later!
