HYMENOPLASTY SEXUAL WELLNESS HYMENOPLASTY IN NEW YORK CITY Hymenoplasty surgery is a procedure that restores the hymen. The hymen is the membrane that partially covers the vagina. Although an intact hymen is thought in many cultures to be a sign of virginity, it can be torn due to many other factors besides having sex. Get A Quote What Is Hymenoplasty? During a hymenoplasty, we restore the hymenal ring by taking a thin layer of tissue from the vaginal wall and placing it in the location of the torn hymen. It is a surgical procedure performed under either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The hymen can tear for multiple reasons, not just penetrative sex. Common causes of a torn hymen include: Exercise Riding a bike or a horse Tampon insertion A hymenoplasty can repair a torn hymen for women who want to restore it due to cultural, religious, or psychological reasons. It will tighten the vaginal opening and cause bleeding upon penetration. If your religion requires virginity before marriage and this is tested through an intact hymen, a hymenoplasty will help. Our board-certified cosmetic gynecologist Dr. Rita Shats is highly experienced, compassionate, and discreet, and she will not judge your reasons for wanting a hymenoplasty. Candidates for Hymenoplasty Hymenoplasty candidates are typically women who have torn their hymen but want or need it to be intact for religious, cultural, or psychological reasons. In addition, candidates should: Be in good general health Be non-smokers Understand the risks and have realistic expectations If you have given birth, you will not be a candidate for hymenoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Shats will discuss your medical history and examine you in order to determine if you are a good candidate for this surgery or not. Recovery After Hymenoplasty Hymenoplasty recovery typically takes around 6 to 8 weeks. We’ll give you prescription medication to help with any pain or discomfort, and we’ll also give you detailed post-operative instructions to follow in order to ensure the smoothest possible recovery. During your recovery, you should refrain from strenuous exercise and any vaginal penetration, including sex and tampon insertion. If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please feel free to contact Dr. Shats. She will be happy to answer your questions and assuage your concerns. Frequently Asked Questions

Your surgeon will either use the medial or vertical thigh lift technique. The medial thigh lift involves incisions within the folds of the groin that extend to the lower butt crease. The vertical thigh lift involves the removal of skin and inner thigh tissue through a vertical incision that starts at the groin and extends down the inner leg toward the knee.

Will My Thigh Lift Leave Scars? Thigh lift surgery requires incisions. Therefore, there will be some scarring following your operation; however, the extent of this scarring will depend on the extent of the surgical procedure. Often, you will have two scars along the tops of your inner thighs. After healing, most patients find that these scars are very well-hidden by underwear and bathing suits.

PERINEOPLASTY SEXUAL WELLNESS PERINEOPLASTY IN NEW YORK CITY The area between the vagina and the anus, called the perineum, is often torn or cut during childbirth. While tears and surgical cuts usually heal naturally without complications, sometimes the healing process can lead to excess scar tissue or deformities that cause lasting pain or discomfort. A perineoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs the perineum. It also tightens the vaginal opening, which can help restore sexual feeling in women who have suffered vaginal laxity due to childbirth. Get A Quote What Is a Perineoplasty? A perineoplasty is the general name for a surgery to repair the perineum for either medical or cosmetic reasons. When performed specifically to repair a poorly healed episiotomy, it is called revision of episiotomy surgery. In addition to episiotomy revision, a perineoplasty may be needed if: You suffered extensive tearing during childbirth that did not heal well You’ve experienced decreased sexual feeling due to vaginal laxity You’ve experienced changes in bowel habits or vaginal itching that has not subsided You have “trigger points” that are painful when trying to insert anything into the vagina You still have pain and discomfort after your recovery from childbirth A perineoplasty can help to correct these issues so that you can go back to your normal, pre-childbirth genital state. Perineoplasty can also be performed at the same time as a vaginoplasty or labiaplasty. Candidates for Perineoplasty The best candidates for a perineoplasty: Are in general good health Do not smoke Have medical or cosmetic issues with the perineum that only surgery can correct You can still have children after undergoing a perineoplasty, although you should keep in mind that having another child can create new problems that you may need another surgery to correct. We typically recommend waiting until after you’re finished having children if you’re undergoing perineoplasty for cosmetic reasons. However, if you are in pain or suffering extreme discomfort, there is no reason to wait for relief. Dr. Shats can help determine whether perineoplasty is right for you during your consultation. We offer many types of surgical and non-surgical procedures to help restore your intimate areas after childbirth, and some patients may benefit from a combination of treatments for best results. Recovery After Perineoplasty Recovery from a perineoplasty typically takes around the same amount of time as recovery from an episiotomy. During recovery, you’ll need to: Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including lifting a child) Use a donut cushion when sitting Avoid sex for 6 to 8 weeks Follow all of Dr. Shats’ instructions carefully If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please feel free to call New Look New Life. We will be happy to answer your questions, as we want to make sure you heal as well as possible. Frequently Asked Questions

Versatility – Renuvion® treats more than one skin concern, including mild to moderate skin laxity, and can be used on the following five areas of the body: Face and neck Arms Breasts Stomach and Waist Thighs Natural-looking and long-lasting results—Renuvion® is known for producing natural-looking skin-tightening results to deliver a more youthful appearance without any tell-tale signs caused by some surgical procedures. The results of Renuvion® skin tightening are typically long-lasting. Stimulates collagen production—Radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen growth, which is essential to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, contributing to the long-term benefits of the treatment. Minimally invasive —Renuvion® is a minimally invasive procedure, which means it requires only tiny incisions. This leads to less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Shorter procedure time—Renuvion procedures are typically quicker than traditional surgical options, reducing the time spent in the operating room. Minimal downtime—Although there is some downtime associated with Renuvion, it is relatively short. Many patients can return to regular activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Am I a Candidate for Renuvion® Treatment? Renuvion® patients should not smoke as this can negatively impact the healing process and overall outcome. They should be able to comply with our team’s important pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions. Good candidates for Renuvion® treatments will also have: Mild to moderate skin sagging – Renuvion® is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and may not be the most appropriate for those with severe skin laxity. A clean bill of health – Candidates should be healthy, as certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility for the procedure. No active skin infections – Candidates should have healthy skin without active infections, severe skin conditions, or recent sunburn. Skin health can impact the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Realistic expectations and maintenance compliance – Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of their Renuvion® treatments. While it can provide noticeable skin tightening, it may not achieve the same results as a surgical facelift. While Renuvion® offers long-lasting results, skin aging is an ongoing process, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results over time. Individual experiences with Renuvion® may vary, and the best way to find out if you are a good candidate for this procedure is to schedule a consultation with one of our professional and experienced providers. What is Discussed During My Renuvion® Consultation? During your consultation, one of our fully-trained and licensed New Look New Life providers will assess your specific needs, medical history, and skin condition to determine if Renuvion® is right for you. They will also discuss the benefits, potential risks, and expected results based on your unique needs and goals. How Are Renuvion® Treatments Performed? After a local anesthetic is administered, radiofrequency energy is applied to the desired treatment area(s) with a small wand that is inserted beneath the skin. This controlled energy heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, an essential building block for healthy and youthful skin. Helium gas is added to convert the RF energy into plasma. This high-energy plasma delivers precise heat energy to the underlying tissues, causing an immediate contraction of collagen fibers resulting in noticeable skin tightening. Renuvion® typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and the number of treatment areas. What Will My Recovery Be Like After a Renuvion® Treatment? While Renuvion® generally involves a short recovery period, it may still require some downtime. Patients need to plan for this and follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for post-treatment care. Are Renuvion® Treatments Painful? Renuvion® is minimally invasive and includes local anesthesia, with patients reporting only mild discomfort. Do Renuvion® Treatments Leave Scars? Renuvion is known for its minimal scarring. However, there is still the potential for small, inconspicuous scars at the incision sites. Patients with a history of poor scarring or keloid formation should discuss this with their healthcare provider. What Do Renuvion® Treatments Cost in New York City? Renuvion® Treatments can vary widely, and the cost can be a concern for some individuals. New Look New Life can provide an individual cost quote based on your needs during your consultation. How long does it take to see Renuvion® results? You’ll be able to see tighter and firmer skin straight after completing your treatment. However, your skin will improve over the next six to nine months as more collagen is produced. How long do Renuvion® results last? With only one or two treatments needed, you can expect your results to be relatively permanent. Face and neck treatment results usually last five years or more with proper skincare. Does Renuvion® carry any risks? While Renuvion® is generally considered safe and effective, some concerns and potential risks are associated with the procedure. It’s essential for individuals considering this treatment to be aware of these concerns, and these will be thoroughly discussed before they undergo the treatment. Although rare, some risks include: Infection Changes in Skin Pigmentation Uneven Results Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Personalize My Breast Augmentation? You will work with our surgeon to choose the implant material, shape, incision type, and placement options that best provide the results you desire. What Are My Breast Implant Options? (Implant Material) Breast implants have a durable silicone shell filled with saline or silicone gel. Silicone: These highly customizable and versatile implants are filled with a thick silicone gel that feels and looks like natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are thought to feel and appear more natural than saline The manufacturer prefills silicone implants; therefore, they sometimes require a larger incision We offer the highly cohesive Natrelle® breast implants and Mentor® implants for our breast augmentation patients Saline: These implants are filled with a sterile saline (saltwater) solution. Saline implants are filled by your surgeon during the procedure, allowing for a smaller incision. Saline implants usually provide a more augmented look. What Are My Breast Implant Options? (Implant Shape) Silicone implants are available in various shapes that will provide different aesthetic appearances. Round: Round implants are spherical and provide equal fullness to the top and bottom of the breast. Anatomical: Anatomical—or gummy bear—implants have a teardrop shape to replicate natural breast tissue more closely. These implants have a thicker gel consistency to keep their shape better. What Are My Breast Implant Options? (Implant Texture) Smooth: Smooth implants have a soft surface that allows the implant to rotate in the breast pocket. Textured: Textured implants have a rough surface that attaches to the breast tissue and prevents the implant from rotating in the breast pocket. This option is often recommended for teardrop-shaped implants since rotation would cause aesthetic distortion. What Are My Breast Implant Options? Implant Profile The implant profile determines how your implant will project from your chest. Your desired aesthetics and body frame will influence your implant profile options. Low profile: Implants that have a broad base but provide little projection These are ideal for women with a broader chest wall Moderate profile: Implants with a narrower base and more projection These are ideal for women with average-width chest walls High profile: Implants with an even smaller base that provides even more projection These are ideal for women with small chest walls Ultra high profile: Implants with the most narrow base and projection These are ideal for very petite women Where Will My Implants Be Placed? Your implants will be placed either above or below the pectoral muscle. Submuscular: The implant will be placed under the pectoralis major muscle. This option is ideal for women with thin breast tissue. The implants may look more natural. The surgery and the recovery period may last longer. Submuscular placement is the preferred method of your surgeons at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts. Subglandular: The implant is between the breast tissue and the chest muscle. Requires sufficient existing breast tissue as they are more prone to rippling. The surgery and recovery period may be shorter than with submuscular placement. This placement option is ideal for women who lift weights. Where Will My Breast Augmentation Incisions Be Made? Incisions to insert your breast implants will be made in one of the following locations. Inframammary: The inframammary fold is the crease beneath your breast, where the breast connects to the ribcage. An incision is made along this crease to help conceal the resulting scars. This incision option reduces the chances of post-operative infection and capsular contracture. Periareolar: The areola is the dark-pigmented skin that surrounds the nipple. A crescent-shaped incision is made in the upper portion of the areola, where the dark pigment will hide the scars. Transaxillary: The incision is made in the armpit, and the implant is tunneled underneath the surrounding tissue to reach the breast pocket. Although this incision option results in less post-operative scarring (as the scar is hidden in the armpit), placing the implant can be more challenging and is not recommended for use with silicone options. Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia for your safety and comfort. While every patient and surgery is unique, breast augmentation usually takes between one and two hours to complete. Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, but you will need to have someone drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours of your recovery. Should I Combine My Breast Augmentation With a Breast Lift? Many women consider breast augmentation due to lost volume after weight loss and pregnancy to restore lost volume. Unfortunately, many also experience premature breast ptosis (sagging). Breast lift surgery elevates sagging breasts by tightening the glandular tissues, repositioning the nipple-areola complex, and removing excess skin. Breast lift surgery can typically be performed at the same time as breast augmentation. What Is Breast Augmentation With Fat Grafting? The surgeons at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts offer fat grafting as a natural alternative to implants . Breast augmentation with fat transfer harvests unwanted body fat with liposuction and transfers it to the breast. Fat is usually taken from the abdomen, hips, or thighs for full-body contouring. This technique cannot increase the volume of the breasts as much as breast implants, but it comes without the risk of implant complications. What Will My Breast Augmentation Recovery Be Like? Your breasts will be placed in a compression garment or surgical bra to ensure proper healing while helping to reduce swelling and promoting ideal blood circulation. You must rest for the first few days of your recovery, and you may need assistance to help with day-to-day activities like cooking and cleaning. Most patients return to work within one to two weeks but are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, including pushing, pulling, or lifting anything over 10 pounds, for at least four to six weeks. You will be able to reach your surgeon with questions or concerns from the time of your pre-op appointment to your post-op visit. New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts is dedicated to providing this one-on-one care. Is Breast Augmentation Painful? You can expect some bruising and swelling after your breast augmentation surgery, which should subside considerably within the first week. You will be prescribed pain medicine or choose to use over-the-counter medication to alleviate discomfort. Will My Breast Augmentation Leave Scars? All surgical procedures cause some level of scarring, and following breast augmentation, you will develop scars at the incision sites. However, these scars are easily concealed and will fade over time. To help minimize scar visibility, you should avoid underwire bras during the healing process (as the wire can irritate the incision), keep the incisions out of the sun, and apply scar cream or silicone strips. What Does Breast Augmentation Cost in New York? Your breast augmentation is personalized to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. This customization, along with your surgeon’s skill and experience, will determine the total cost of your procedure. At New Look New Life Surgical Arts, our breast augmentation starts at $7,500. However, this may vary significantly once your implant selection, anesthesia fees, facility fees, and pre-surgical tests are factored in. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your breast augmentation in New York. How should I prepare for my breast augmentation? You will need to stop taking all blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, and certain herbal supplements, before your operation. You will also be asked to stop smoking for at least two weeks before and after your breast augmentation. Following these recommendations will reduce your risk of excessive bleeding during your surgery. Can I have breast augmentation before I have children? Breast augmentation will not affect your pregnancy or your children; however, many women experience breast changes during pregnancy that affect the overall quality of their breast enhancement results. Pregnancy after breast augmentation may necessitate a secondary breast procedure like a breast revision or a breast lift to restore a more attractive breast aesthetic. Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation? Most women experience no difficulty breastfeeding their child following breast augmentation. Traditionally, breast implants do not damage or interfere with the connection between the nipples and the milk ducts. If you are planning on having children following your breast augmentation and are interested in breastfeeding, let your surgeon know during your consultation. What are the risks associated with breast augmentation? While complications are not expected to occur after this procedure, breast augmentation is still surgery, and complications are possible. Potential physical complications include: Adverse reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding Infection Abnormal firmness Blood clots Seroma Prolonged wound healing Capsular contracture Implant rupture Implant displacement Potential aesthetic complications include: Breast asymmetry Unfavorable scarring What is capsular contracture, and how can I identify it? Capsular contracture is a potential implant complication that develops when the scar tissue surrounding the implant begins to contract. This squeezing of the implant leads to both aesthetic distortion and physical discomfort. Capsular contracture requires the removal of the implant and scar tissue capsule, but one or both breasts can receive new, healthy implants. Breast implant massages may decrease your risk of capsular contracture. What should I do if I notice an aesthetic change in one or both of my breasts? Breast augmentation results are long-lasting but are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Implant complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, and implant displacement can occur at any time. If you notice breast asymmetry, lumps in the breasts, changes in implant position, or breast pain, contact your surgeon right away. Breast revision may be necessary to correct implant-related complications . Do breast implants increase my breast cancer risk? No. Breast implants are not associated with breast cancer and do not increase your breast cancer risk in any way. Because performing self-breast exams may be more challenging, you must see your doctor for routine mammograms and MRIs. Mammograms can still be performed after breast augmentation, and breast implants will not be damaged during the procedure. However, it’s essential to notify your mammogram provider that you have implants.
