Plastic surgery in Ridgewood

Blepharoplasty

Also called eyelid surgery

Surgery that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes, addressing hooded upper lids and under-eye bags that no injectable can fix.

Rhinoplasty

Also called nose job

Surgery that reshapes the nose, and the most technically demanding operation in facial plastic surgery, where surgeon selection matters more than in any other procedure.

Breast Augmentation

Also called breast implants

Surgery that increases breast size using implants or fat transfer, and the most commonly performed cosmetic operation in the United States.

Liposuction

Surgical removal of localized fat deposits through small incisions, the definitive option for pockets that resist diet and exercise.

Tummy Tuck

Surgery that removes excess abdominal skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles, addressing what no amount of exercise can fix after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Facelift

Surgery that repositions the deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin, addressing jowls and midface descent that no injectable or device can lift.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, or thighs with transfer of that fat to the buttocks, and the cosmetic operation that demands the most careful surgeon selection of any procedure we list.

Breast Lift

Also called mastopexy

Surgery that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, without changing size the way implants do.

Breast Reduction

Surgery that removes breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and relieve the neck, back, and shoulder pain that large breasts cause, and one of the few cosmetic operations insurance sometimes covers.

Mommy Makeover

A combination of procedures performed in one operation to address the abdominal and breast changes that follow pregnancy, most commonly a tummy tuck with a breast lift or augmentation.

Buccal Fat Removal

A short procedure that removes the buccal fat pad from the lower cheek to create a more sculpted, hollowed look, and the operation most likely to be regretted if done at the wrong age.

Otoplasty

Also called ear pinning

Surgery that reshapes or repositions prominent ears closer to the head, commonly performed on children but equally effective in adults.

Labiaplasty

Surgery that reduces or reshapes the labia minora, most often sought for physical discomfort during exercise, sex, or with clothing rather than appearance alone.

Neck Lift

Also called platysmaplasty

Surgery that tightens the neck muscles, removes loose skin, and sharpens the angle under the chin, the region where aging often shows first and devices help least.

Brow Lift

Also called forehead lift

Surgery that raises a descended brow to its natural position, opening the upper eye area and softening the tired or stern look that heavy brows create.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Also called male breast reduction

Surgery that removes glandular tissue and fat to flatten the male chest, the definitive fix for a condition that diet and training often cannot touch.

Hair Transplant

Surgery that relocates your own permanent hair follicles to thinning areas, the only treatment that puts living, growing hair back where it has been lost.

Facial Fat Transfer

A procedure that takes fat from your own body, purifies it, and injects it into the face to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and lips. Permanent for the fat that survives, natural because it is your own tissue, and often done alongside a facelift.

Arm Lift

Surgery that removes the loose, hanging skin on the upper arm that follows major weight loss or aging, usually with liposuction of any remaining fat, through an incision along the inner arm. The only fix for skin that hangs; the trade is a scar most people consider worth it.

Lip Lift

A short surgery that removes a strip of skin just under the nose to shorten the space between nose and lip, rolling the upper lip outward so more pink lip shows and the mouth looks fuller and younger at rest. Permanent, and the fix for a long upper lip that filler makes worse.

Breast Implant Removal

Also called explant

Surgery to take out breast implants, with or without the scar capsule around them, and with or without a lift or replacement. Done for rupture, capsular contracture, a change of mind, the rare implant-associated lymphoma, or the systemic symptoms some women report; what the evidence says about each reason is different, and this page separates them.

Chin Liposuction

Also called submental liposuction

A short procedure, usually under local anesthesia, that removes the fat under the chin and along the jawline through incisions a few millimetres long, defining the jaw in one session with results that are permanent at a stable weight. The right choice when the problem is fat and the skin is firm; a neck lift when it is loose skin or muscle bands.

Chin Implant

Also called chin augmentation

Surgery that projects a recessed chin either by placing a shaped silicone implant on the bone or by cutting and sliding the chin bone forward (genioplasty), permanently balancing the profile with the nose and neck. The two methods suit different chins and carry different risks, and this page separates them.
