Going Out for Lunch? Try Botox with Dr. Weinstein!

Try BotoxOne of the downsides of cosmetic procedures is the extended time it may take to recover from the procedure. While some can go on a vacation and have a New Jersey liposuction, not everyone has the luxury to take a few days off from work or school to have plastic surgery. This is where lunchtime procedures such as Botox in New Jersey come in!

What is Lunchtime Botox?
Lunchtime Botox is now popular amongst men and women who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes and mouth. Getting Botox injections can take less than an hour and you are good to go. There is no downtime and you can immediately resume your daily activities and tasks.

Is It Worth It?
Botox wouldn’t actually be on top of the non-invasive cosmetic procedures for 2012 if it wasn’t worth it. While critics would be quick to point out that its results are not long-lasting, it is important to note that the procedure does last 3 to 6 months and is very convenient.

However, if you are looking for long-term solutions against facial aging, a New Jersey facelift would be more appropriate. Lunchtime Botox is ideal for those who want quick and affordable anti-aging procedures to get positive results.

Lastly, always see to it that the plastic surgeon of your choice is skilled and experienced when it comes to Botox injections, like Dr. Weinstein.

New Jersey Male Breast Reduction: Feel Great with Your Shirt Off!

GynecomastiaThis question is for the gentlemen out there — Are you confident about taking your shirt off in public or are you embarrassed about your man boobs? If you are uncomfortable with your man boobs you should know that they are medically referred to as gynecomastia and you do have options.  At the Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center, you can undergo New Jersey male breast reduction to help get rid of those enlarged breasts which are tearing down your confidence.

Negative Psychological Impact
Why bother with male breast reduction? Apart from actually not looking good with the extra sagging breasts, a recent study published in the April issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, came out with the following conclusion:

“Gynecomastia has a significant negative impact on primarily the psychosocial well-being of affected adolescent patients, specifically in regard to social functioning, mental health, and self-esteem. Psychosocial impact was not affected by graded severity of disease. Health care providers and patients should be aware of the psychosocial impairments associated with gynecomastia and consider early treatment for adolescents suffering from this condition, regardless of severity.”

Male Breast Reduction Techniques in New Jersey
You may be an ideal candidate for male breast reduction if you have excess glandular tissues and/or too much localized fat. It is interesting to note that gynecomastia could either present itself unilaterally (one breasts) or bilaterally (both breasts).

There are basically 3 common male breast reduction techniques used today:
1. Liposuction alone to remove excess fat
2. Liposuction with removal of your breast gland
3. Liposuction with removal of your breast gland and excess skin

The incisions made during the surgery are very tiny thus no need to worry about visible scarring. The procedure itself takes around 2 to 3 hours and the results are, by and large, long lasting. However, keep in mind that you need to maintain stable weight to maintain the results.  You also need to monitor your intake of prescription medications such as steroids.

To arrange your initial consultation with Dr. Weinstein and learn more about your male breast reduction options in New Jersey, get in touch with us at our Chester Clinic by calling us at (908)879.2222 or by filling out this contact form.

Botox Amongst Males Rising in Popularity

In 2012, there were approximately 14.6 million surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures done in United States. This numbers, provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, further revealed that Botox tops the list amongst the non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This should not come as a surprise as more men and women are now deeply conscious of how they look and how it affects their overall personality. Dr. Larry Weinstein usually recommends a session of New Jersey Botox for individuals who would like to delay the process of aging a little more.

Botox for Men
The idea of Botox as a wrinkle treatment for women is now a thing of the past. Recent statistics has revealed that this lunchtime procedure is now sought after by men — from Wall Street bankers to TV personalities to the regular Joe sitting next to you at the bus station.

A 2012 report posted at The Huffington Post revealed that Wall Street men seeking Botox are now increasing in number. “They are looking for ways to smooth out the stress lines caused by the European crisis abroad and weak economy at home. But while bankers are willing to go under the knife, they do want to make sure they aren’t found out,” the report stated.

Preventative Botox
Botox as a preventive measure against wrinkles are now also widely used amongst women in their twenties. Originally utilized to reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet, Botox is now in demand for its ability to actually delay the appearance of the first signs of wrinkles.

She wanted to maintain the youthful glow of her 20s thus her early use of Botox.

Jowl Lift Surgery in New Jersey

When excess skin and fat on the neck and lower jaw area are significant enough jowls become a constant reminder that you are succumbing to the natural process of ageing. Nobody can stop ageing, but you can choose to remove or at least minimize the loose sagging neck skin. That is, if you want to revitalize the youthfulness and attractiveness of your whole face.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Weinstein performs two surgical procedures that can eliminate your sagging jowls: facelift and jowl lift. Facelift Surgery (rhytidectomy) involves the reduction of facial fine lines, folds, and jowling, while Jowl Lift Surgery is a more specific procedure to eliminate sagging jowls. In most cases, jowl lift is incorporated in the facelift procedure. However, if facelift is too extreme or unnecessary for your particular concerns, you don’t really have to undergo a rhytidectomy operation. Generally, jowl lift is accomplished by removing the skin and removing the fat thru liposuction.

During consultation, Dr. Weinstein will determine whether you need a full facelift or if jowl lift will suffice. He will discuss with you the surgical details, including the potential risks and the recovery steps. In order to achieve ultimate results, you have to follow the pre-op and post-surgery procedures that will be laid out clearly by Dr. Weinstein. To have a clearer picture about this surgery, take a look at some of the Jowl Lift Before&After Photos.

Find out if this procedure is right for you. Schedule now a personal consultation with Dr. Weinstein by calling us at (908) 879-2222 or filling out this Consultation Request Form.
