Saratoga Springs, NY – According to the latest statistics from The Aesthetic Society (formally the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery – ASAPS) more than half of all American adults now approve of cosmetic enhancement procedures, with over 9 million procedures performed in 2011. Despite the common misperceptions surrounding cosmetic surgery, board-certified Saratoga Springs plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Yarinsky says the increase in approval is likely the result of an aging population, coupled with the realization that a majority of cosmetic procedures result in subtle enhancements aimed at helping individuals feel more confident and comfortable with their bodies and faces.

In addition to the public’s growing acceptance of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Yarinsky says his practice has experienced a dramatic increase in popularity of the mommy makeover as many of his female patients want to regain the confidence they once had in their bodies: “Women today feel more empowered than ever to reverse the changes in their bodies and appearances caused by childbearing and age.” In addition to tightening the waistline so clothing fits better, a mommy makeover can include restoring perkier, fuller, more youthful-appearing breasts and a less exhausted, more youthful facial appearance. He says he works with each patient to create a custom plan that incorporates surgical and non-surgical procedures to address the individual areas of concern. By combining procedures, Dr. Yarinsky says he is often able to reduce recovery time and cost, which is important to his patients as they hope to minimize impact on their family life.

Mothers experience many common concerns regarding the mommy makeover, and Dr. Yarinsky works hard to help alleviate each one. He says, “Mothers are concerned about their safety and the discomfort they may experience with their breast enhancement and tummy tuck procedures. I perform these procedures in the safety, comfort and convenience of our Joint Commission-accredited office operating facility, and no hospitalization is needed. We use state-of-the-art anesthesia along with pain and nausea management to keep women as comfortable as possible. Most women tell me that their procedure and recuperation was easier than they had thought it would be.”

Regardless of whether his patients undergo a combination of surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lifts, tummy tuck and liposuction, or non-surgical procedures such as ZERONA^® body contouring or BOTOX^® Injections and other facial fillers to restore volume lost with aging, Dr. Yarinsky says his ultimate goal is to restore his patient’s pre-pregnancy confidence:

“Although my initial patient consultation evaluates all areas of the face, breasts and body that may be rejuvenated, refined and restored, I focus on what area or areas the patient finds most bothersome. I never recommend a patient treat any area that is of no concern to her. Sometimes non-surgical procedures such as Endermologie^® cellulite treatment, Ultherapy^® facial skin lifting or Zerona^® body shaping may be all a patient needs to get the results she wants. But after pregnancy, cosmetic surgery options are more often likely to give a woman the result that she desires. Breast augmentation and lift, combined with tummy tuck and liposuction to treat the waistline can be done on the same day, creating a balanced and exceptional result. In those patients, down-time is limited since there is only one recovery period for the combined procedures.”

With the growing acceptance of plastic surgery and the significant increase in procedures performed, Dr. Yarinsky urges anyone considering a cosmetic enhancement procedure, no matter whether it is surgical or minimally-invasive, to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been elected a member of The Aesthetic Society (formally the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery – ASAPS). He says the certification process and society membership ensures that their doctor has the experience and expertise necessary to provide safe and effective treatment. He adds that although no results can ever be guaranteed, women have a better chance of achieving effective results by choosing a plastic surgeon who specializes in performing mommy makeovers. Additionally, Dr. Yarinsky states, “Women routinely tell me that the result of their mommy makeover boosts their self-esteem, and when they feel better about themselves, this has a positive effect on all aspects of their lives.”

Saratoga Springs, NY – Local board certified plastic surgeon, Steven Yarinsky, MD at Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC announces the arrival of the ZERONA^®, the only non-invasive, body contouring, low-level laser treatment, to its practice, making him one of the first physicians to offer the ZERONA^® in the Capital District, Upstate New York Region. During clinical trials, the ZERONA^® has been scientifically proven to result in an average of 3.6 inches lost from patients’ waist, hips and thighs. ZERONA^® has been FDA approved for both safety and effectiveness. Unlike invasive weight loss surgery, ZERONA^® is a revolutionary method that is applied externally without the dangers associated with surgery or other non-invasive devices which rely on heating the tissue. The new technology has been proven to reduce inches from target areas such as the tummy, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, chin, neck and arms; contour and reshape the body; and tighten and tone loose skin.

“I added ZERONA^® to our practice to offer those people who don’t have the time available to recuperate from liposuction body contouring and those patients who are not candidates for liposuction to reduce inches in their waistlines and thighs,” says Dr. Yarinsky. The introduction of ZERONA^® to the Saratoga Springs plastic surgery practice will provide those seeking a safe alternative to surgery with a body contouring program that causes no bruising, scarring or discomfort. The simple procedure consists of six to twelve 40-minute treatments given over two to four weeks. The treatments can be continued thereafter to enhance the results.

The Saratoga Springs plastic surgeon says, “Our patients have been pleased with the results from ZERONA^® treatments and because there are no needles, no incisions and no recovery time involved, they can continue with their daily activities immediately after each treatment. ZERONA^® is an excellent option for patients who want to fit their clothing better but do not want to experience the downtime, health risks or pain associated with more invasive procedures for body contouring.” ZERONA^® laser light is applied externally, directed toward the skin in the areas to be treated. In contrast to liposuction, there is no surgery, anesthesia, or discomfort involved with Zerona treatment. Liposuction is designed for reducing diet and exercise resistant fat deposits in people who are at or near their ideal body weight for their height. However, ZERONA^® can be used to effectively treat these as well as larger patients who are not good liposuction candidates.

ZERONA^® uses a patented and clinically proven low-level laser technology developed by Erchonia, the global leader in low-level laser healthcare applications. The results were proven effective through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo-controlled study.
Clinical studies demonstrated that the ZERONA^® low-level laser targets adipose tissue (fat storing cells) creating a chemical signal which stimulates the fat cells to liquefy the stored triglycerides within the cells breaking them down into free fatty acids, glycerol and water. A small pore is then naturally created in the protective membrane of the fat cells enabling the contents to seep out of the cells to be absorbed by the lymphatic system. The excess fat is then passed out of the body during its normal course of detoxification which results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller as inches are reduced.

“ZERONA is the leading technology for body contouring without surgery,” said Michael Browning, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing of SBMI. “We are pleased to bring such a superior product to highly-respected doctors such as Dr. Yarinsky who can now offer ZERONA as a perfect solution for those who want to jump start or maintain a healthier and slimmer lifestyle in the Capital District and Albany areas.” By helping his patients achieve a more toned physique, Dr. Yarinsky says he hopes to help patients restore their full confidence in their bodies, and live a happier, healthier life.
