Silicone vs Saline Breast Implants
Breast augmentation is often the answer for women who are unhappy with the shape or size of their breasts, offering fuller breasts and more attractive contours.
However, women are often confused about whether to choose silicone gel or saline filled implants. While a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is the best way to determine the right implant for you, let's look at a few of the differences and similarities.

However, women are often confused about whether to choose silicone gel or saline filled implants. While a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is the best way to determine the right implant for you, let's look at a few of the differences and similarities.
Silicone Gel Implants
- Created with a silicone shell filled with a gel substance
- Many plastic surgeons prefer the silicone implants as being more natural looking and feeling more like natural breast tissue.
- Some women fear silicone gel implants because of harmful health reports. The FDA has found no link between silicone gel implants and disease and, in 2006, approved implants developed by manufacturers Allergan and Mentor for use in women over age 22.
- May develop hard-to-detect ruptures
Saline Implants
- Silicone shell
- Saline implants are filled with saline, or salt water
- Ruptures may be easier to detect

Nose Surgery Gaining Popularity
Two-hundred thousand Americans a year choose rhinoplasty, better known as a nose job, to change the shape and/or size of their noses.
For most people, the nose is the most prominent facial feature. Since the nose receives so much attention, altering its size or shape can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of one's face.
The nose is supported by a delicate framework of tiny bones and moveable cartilage. It is, therefore, of extreme importance that you choose a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with the training and experience to perform your rhinoplasty procedure with confidence and precision.
Discussing your expectations thoroughly during your consultation is key to ensuring the best outcome. While meeting with your doctor, be sure to ask to see Before & After photos of actual patients. Dr. Howard T. Bellin, serving Manhattan and surrounding New York City areas, is a highly skilled, board-certified cosmetic surgeon with many satisfied patients.
Aside from fixing the shape or size of your nose, a number of other issues can be correct with rhinoplasty including:
Regardless of the rhinoplasty procedure that is best for you, this surgery is generally free from serious complications. Although complete healing can take up to 6 months, you'll be able to see results right away and can enjoy your enhanced features as your face takes on the look you always dreamed of.
If you are considering nose surgery (rhinoplasty) in Manhattan or any of the other areas of New York City, please contact Dr. Howard T. Bellin to schedule your consultation.

Nasal Beauty - the Art and Science of Rhinoplasty
When considering a change in the characteristics of your nose through Rhinoplasty, you need a surgeon who approaches it as both an art and a science.
The art of a nose alteration is modifying a central facial feature to be visually attractive and consistent with the rest of the person's face. After your surgery, people should be attracted to your new aura of self-confidence, not the specific new characteristics of your nose.
The science of a nose alteration rests in the fact that the nose is a three-dimensional part of the human face that relies on all of its components to retain functionality. The smallest miscalculation or smallest sliver of cartilage in the wrong place can make a huge difference in your breathing.
The end result of a good nose alteration will be a harmonious facial appearance where it isn't at all obvious that any work was done on the nose. I believe that a good plastic surgeon must be able to work on more than one kind of nose and must be proficient at changing a nose to fit the individual face.
My goal in performing a rhinoplasty is to create an aesthetically pleasing change, but I always keep in mind that the purpose of the nose is to assist its owner with breathing.

Lunch Is Not Just for Food Anymore
Lunchtime treatments are cosmetic procedures performed on your lunch hour in the office of your board-certified cosmetic surgeon. The benefits are many, including reduced cost, decreased invasiveness, and the ability to go right back to work or other activities immediately, looking rested and refreshed.
Lunchtime treatments center around seven main target areas:
To meet these goals, treatments include:
