Resolutions – A Slimmer you in 2012
It’s the start of a new year, and we all know what that means. It’s time to reevaluate ourselves and our lives and time to finally do some things we’ve been saying we would do for the past year. What that involves, for most people, has something to do with eating better and losing weight. We are a nation obsessed with weight, yet we also have one of the highest levels of obesity. Significant, sustained weight loss is something that takes a great deal of determination and work. Despite that, I think it’s a worthwhile endeavor if for no other reason than for improved health.
Patients often ask me about using liposuction as a jump start toward their weight loss goals. I always tell them that liposuction is really not a weight loss procedure, but more of a contouring and shaping procedure to refine the weight loss results. Having said that, I do think that people can benefit from liposuction during their weight loss journey, as they can be motivated to continue by the more immediate changes they see in their bodies after liposuction.
Even though it’s winter and you may not be thinking about swim suit weather yet, this is actually the time to start your diet and exercise program and to consider liposuction. Slow, steady weight loss with diet and exercise will likely take you into the spring. The liposuction procedure, while removing fat, will cause some bruising and swelling. The bruising is usually gone within 3 weeks, but the swelling can linger for 3-6 months. So now is the time to start making plans for a slimmer, healthier 2012.

Fat Grafting can create a more youthful appearance.
MANHATTAN, NY – Fat grafting is gaining popularity as more and more physicians and patients are realizing that volume restoration is the key to a youthful appearance. As we age, we lose volume or fullness in our tissues. This may be noticed in the face, the back of the hands, or the breasts. By adding volume, the smooth contours that were present during our youth are restored. Fat is the best, and usually the most abundant, “filler” we have to restore volume and, unlike temporary fillers, the results last many years. In addition to plumping things up to look younger, fat can be used to change facial contours and shape (such as augmenting the chin, jaw line, or cheek bones), to improve the contours of the breasts and buttocks, and to smooth indentations created by excessive liposuction.

Dr Saboeiro is one of the few board certified female plastic surgeons in New York
NEW YORK CITY, NY – As a board certified plastic surgeon since 1999, I have performed numerous reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. After completing my plastic surgery residency, I chose to focus on the cosmetic aspect and completed an aesthetic (or cosmetic) fellowship, which consisted of additional training beyond the minimal requirements. My focus is now on the cosmetic facial and body procedures, but I have also spent significant time learning and perfecting the technique of fat grafting to the face, breasts, hands, and body. I have studied under Dr. Sydney Coleman, the pioneer of structural fat grafting, and have been a part of his practice, Tribeca Plastic Surgery, for six years.

Brides to be- it’s not too early to start planning for your 2009 spring or summer wedding. Just as you plan your ceremony and reception down to the last detail, and just as you ensure the perfect fit of your gown and appropriateness of your hairstyle, don’t forget one of the most important elements of your day – your skin! Whether you are 24 or 44, you want your skin to be smooth, blemish-free and radiant both in person and in your photos. And, as everyone knows, this is not a feat that can be accomplished overnight!
About a year before the big day, it is a good idea for you to have a consultation with a skin care specialist, particularly someone with a medical background who has access to chemical peels, lasers, Botox, and fillers, so that you can get started on your beauty routine well in advance. Almost anyone, even those with good skin, can benefit from a series of superficial chemical peels to brighten and gently exfoliate; anyone with sun damage may want to eliminate sunspots on the face or body with laser treatments (often more than one treatment necessary). Those with acne can significantly improve their skin with the right daily skin care routine, chemical peels and laser treatments. How about those pesky little “broken capillaries”on the nose and cheeks? They can be banished with lasers as well. Forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet??? Botox, of course! And even young brides sometimes have smile lines (professionals call them nasolabial lines or folds). They can be erased with fillers like Restylane, Radiesse or Juvederm. And lips, cheekbones, and jaw lines can be enhanced with those same fillers.
If you are wearing a dress that exposes your back or decolletage, it is important to optimize the appearance of these areas as well. Chemical peels and laser treatments are just as useful for treating acne and pigmentation here as they are for the face. And, if a more surgical correction is what you have in mind (larger breasts or a more sleek silhouette), then it’s definitely time to see a plastic surgeon ASAP so that you have plenty of time to recover.
Don’t be selfish! Treat your mother and mother-in-law-to-be, as well as your bridal party to some good skin care. Many brides even like to send their reluctant fiances in for a little chemical exfoliation in preparation for the big day. Remember, the important thing is to get started early. If you’re thinking of Botox, do a trial about 4 months before your wedding to see how it will look. (Botox takes up to 10 days to take effect and 3 months to “wear off.”) And if you like the effect, do it again about a month before the wedding. This will ensure that there will be time to make minor adjustments prior to the start of pre-wedding events, and that it will last through the wedding and honeymoon. And if plumpers for the lips or fillers for lines and contours are desired, they should also be done well in advance (at least 4 weeks) because of the risk of bruising.
We at Tribeca Plastic Surgery and Tribeca Skin Care can develop a customized plan for you and your bridal party. You want to look your best for your special day, so start planning now and beautiful skin will be yours!
