Plastic surgery has always been popular among women. Apart from improving looks, there are many other factors that motivate women to undergo plastic surgery.

To cater to their needs, leading plastic surgery practices offer body contouring in NYC using innovative technologies and techniques.

Hundreds of thousands of patients opt to have breast augmentation surgery every year as it boosts their confidence and body image, and report no adverse effects.

In New York, breast augmentation is performed using FDA-approved saline or silicone implants. In 2019, 85% of total breast implants were silicone and 15% were saline. However, though the procedure ranks first in 2019, it witnessed a 4% decrease from 2018.
ASPS lists liposuction as the second most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for women in the United States. The procedure removes excess fat from various areas of the body that refuse to respond to even strenuous diets and exercises. Performed using the latest techniques, liposuction in New York City can provide women with a trimmer, well-defined attractive physique.

This indicates the growing popularity of the procedure, which can be performed using surgical, minimally-invasive and even nonsurgical techniques.
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper and lower eyelids to rejuvenate the eyes. It provides you with a more youthful looking facial appearance by resolving a number of concerns, such as puffiness or bags under eyes, sagging or loose skin that creates folds on the upper eyelid, excess skin and wrinkles on the lower eyelid, droopiness of lower eyelids and excess fatty deposits on the upper eyelid. New York City blepharoplasty is done as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as face lift surgery. The procedure witnessed a 3% increase from 2018.
Tummy tuck ranks in fourth position in the ASPS 2019 list. A tummy tuck improves abdominal contour by removing excess fat and skin. It also restores weakened or separated muscles to result a toned, more youthful midsection.
