Plastic Surgery NYC

Yes. In fact, our renowned surgeons often recommend pairing procedures as part of your personalized treatment plan, so you can achieve all of your aesthetic goals. This “combination procedure” approach not only streamlines your transformation, but also minimizes downtime by performing multiple surgeries simultaneously. 

However, safely and effectively combining plastic surgeries requires a strategic approach, so it’s important to work with a highly skilled specialist for any plastic surgery in NYC. Beyond anatomical expertise and surgical excellence, your surgeon also needs to take the time to truly understand you to tailor their approach. 

For example, we may recommend pairing an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with liposuction for a patient struggling with excess fat and skin in their abdomen. For patients undergoing breast surgery who have excess skin above the belly button, we may recommend a simultaneous reverse tummy tuck and breast surgery using the same incision. For an individual who has undergone a cesarean birth (c-section), we may recommend pairing a scar revision treatment with a mommy makeover. At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we empower beauty®, and that looks different for everyone.

The exact cost of your surgery depends on your specific needs and goals, as well as the level of surgical skill required to achieve them. While you will need to pay surgical fees for anesthesia and the facility in which we perform your procedure, the primary variable remains your personalized treatment plan. 

So, while we cannot provide a detailed estimate for the cost of your plastic surgery in NYC before you meet with our surgeons for a consultation, we will provide a transparent quote once we’ve finalized your plan. We’ll discuss pricing during your consultation when helping you decide on the right procedure(s) and explore your financing options. While price is a consideration, value and outcome should guide your decision.

At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, you’re never alone on your journey. There is no single procedure that’s best for everyone. Choosing the right procedure(s) starts by meeting with your surgeon for a private consultation. 

Here, we’ll openly discuss your situation, from your budget and aesthetic goals to your lifestyle and medical history. Then, we’ll carefully examine the area you wish to treat to account for your unique anatomy, including your fat distribution and skin quality. Whether you’re considering a minor procedure or a complete transformation, we’ll guide you through all of your options.

We’ll help you understand what to expect from each procedure, so you can make an informed, confident decision and set realistic expectations for your recovery and results. Keep in mind that every procedure is personalized, so this initial meeting plays a vital role in your satisfaction.

Knowing you’re ready for surgery involves more than simply wanting a change. Our mission to empower beauty® relies on your emotional, physical, and logistic preparation. Ideally, you should be at a healthy weight, stop smoking, and lead a healthy lifestyle prior to undergoing surgery, as these habits extend the longevity of your results and minimize safety risks. We understand that surgery and post-operative care is a commitment, so we’ll take the time to discuss your situation to help you make informed decisions, ensuring you feel confident about your investment from start to finish. 

No. We offer a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive alternatives to plastic surgery in NYC, including:

• Laser skin rejuvenation
• Laser vaginal rejuvenation
• Non-surgical BBL (Sculptra and Radiesse injections)
• RF microneedling

Our highly skilled surgeons have mastered the art and science behind delivering the most impactful results from these non-surgical treatments. However, these options cannot deliver the same results as surgery. Non-surgical treatments do not remove excess tissue, but rather work by stimulating collagen production to rebuild your skin from the inside out—offering more subtle, gradual improvements. 

We may recommend non-surgical treatments if you are struggling with mild-to-moderate aesthetic concerns like skin laxity, but surgery may be required in more severe cases. You must also consider that results from most non-surgical treatments require more frequent maintenance than those of surgical procedures, which we will discuss during your consultation after conducting a comprehensive evaluation and providing evidence-based recommendations that align with your specific needs.

A reverse abdominoplasty is a surgery that removes extra skin and localized fat above the belly button. The scar is hidden underneath the breasts and helps pull up extra, loose skin above the navel. Often, our surgeons can use the same incision to perform breast surgery simultaneously.

The best candidates for this surgery are patients who desire upper abdomen tightening and breast rejuvenation at the same time. The reverse abdominoplasty also helps shape the belly button, making it appear more youthful, natural, and more vertical than horizontal.

A fat graft, also known as a fat transfer, is a procedure that removes fat from one area—using gentle liposuction—and injects it into another area for volume and shape augmentation. This highly customizable procedure offers the dual benefit of addressing unwanted fat deposits while restoring natural volume to other features, such as the breasts, buttocks, face, and hands.

Dr. Brian Bassiri-Tehrani specializes in liposuction, breast enhancement, and BBL (Brazillian butt lift), making him uniquely qualified for this complex procedure. After harvesting fat from a donor site, such as your abdomen, thighs, or flanks, we carefully purify the fat cells to maximize your body’s ability to accept them. Then, we strategically inject the fat into the area you wish to add volume to, filling hip dips, enhancing your curves, or minimizing the appearance of other hollow features. 

While our renowned plastic surgeons take additional steps to increase the amount of fat that “takes,” your body will not hold on to all the fat long-term. Your results may change during the weeks after the procedure, but if you desire more dramatic changes, we may recommend an additional round of fat grafting. Because this surgery uses your own fat, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction and no risk of implant illness, although complications are also highly unlikely with our smooth saline implants.

Our team of highly skilled plastic surgeons designed our “mommy makeover” procedure to restore women’s bodies—specifically the abdomen and breasts—after pregnancy. Having a child is one of the most beautiful, transformative experiences in your life, but we recognize that it can change your body in ways you may not like. Our approach to a mommy makeover is completely personalized, so your surgeon will help you select the most appropriate combination of procedures during your consultation. 

Many women experience abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) after childbirth. This often requires surgical intervention, such as an abdominoplasty with rectus plication (tightening of the abdominal muscles), to repair and return their abdomen to its firm, flat anatomical state. Breast laxity and volume loss may also occur with pregnancy, in which case your mommy makeover may include a mastopexy (breast lift) or breast augmentation with implants or fat grafting. We also offer nipple and areola correction to address prolonged nipples or enlarged areolas, restoring them to an optimal size and position. 

For women left with stubborn pockets of fat, we may recommend liposuction, while a tummy tuck addresses excess skin. If you’ve lost volume in your buttocks, we may recommend a BBL to restore your curves, using your own fat to maintain a natural look and feel. To smooth cellulite dimples, we offer Avéli—the first and only FDA-approved treatment that targets cellulite at the source by snipping the septa bands that pull dimples inward. Your surgeon may also recommend including a labiaplasty in your mommy makeover plan if your labia’s appearance has changed after childbirth, restoring your comfort and confidence in intimate scenarios, exercise settings, and beyond.

While both procedures contour the abdomen, they address different concerns. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, removes excess skin and repositions the abdominal muscles, making it a solution for patients with diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) or excess abdominal skin. Many patients seek this procedure after significant weight loss or pregnancy, making it one of the most sought-after options for plastic surgery in NYC. 

Liposuction removes excess fat rather than skin, targeting stubborn deposits of fat without repositioning the surrounding muscles. This minimally invasive procedure is typically ideal for patients with ample skin elasticity; however, our surgeons can perform liposuction and abdominoplasty together to address these concerns simultaneously. Your unique surgical plan will reflect your anatomy and goals, whether that be muscle repair, skin tightening, and/or fat reduction.

The primary difference between an abdominoplasty and a mini abdominoplasty is the scope of the procedure. If you’re struggling with extensive skin laxity and/or abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), we may recommend a full abdominoplasty to contour the entire abdominal area. This more extensive procedure may be necessary if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight or developed more extensive skin laxity, which is common after pregnancy. 

However, if you’re only struggling with laxity in the lower abdominal region—beneath the belly button—you may not need to undergo a traditional abdominoplasty. A mini abdominoplasty consists of a smaller incision and does not alter the position of the navel, offering a less invasive solution for patients with mild sagging skin and strong upper abdominal muscles.

During your consultation for plastic surgery in NYC, our world-class surgeons will perform an in-depth evaluation of your physique, review your medical history, and openly discuss your situation. At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we’re dedicated to providing the most impactful results—whatever that means for you—without taking unnecessary measures.

While our team of renowned surgeons has mastered their techniques to minimize visible scarring—creating the smallest incisions possible in concealable areas—most procedures create some degree of scar tissue. Depending on your skin type, aftercare adherence, and how your skin heals, we may recommend scar revision to further feather out visible scars. 

Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani specializes in making scars from surgery and trauma less noticeable, skilfully excising the scar tissue and re-closing the incision with the utmost precision. Keep in mind that scars take time to “mature,” so you must wait until the healing process is complete to undergo scar revision, which typically takes around a year.
