Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC Receives Office-Based Surgery Accreditation from The Joint Commission
Dr. Steven Yarinsky announces the fourth re-accreditation by The Joint Commission for Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC to perform office-based surgery.
Saratoga Springs, NY – Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC recently announced that it has received the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission to perform office-based surgery, making this the fourth period since 2002 the practice has received accreditation. This status was awarded to the practice based on its ability to continuously meet high performance standards. With this Gold Seal of Approval®, Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC maintains its reputation as being committed to providing safe and effective patient care to achieve the best possible results.
To obtain this accreditation, Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC underwent a comprehensive on-site review on July 6, 2015 by a certified physician examiner. Throughout this evaluation, the practice’s ability to meet and exceed office-based surgery standards was considered. This covered such areas as coordination of care, patient education, monitoring patients under deep sedation or anesthesia, as well as care instructions following cosmetic surgery and surgical outcomes. Evaluation included staff interviews, examining patient processes, and additional facility observations.
Since it began in 2001, the Joint Commission’s Office-Based Surgery Accreditation program has been dedicated to overseeing surgical practices with four or fewer practitioners. About 400 medical offices nationwide maintain office-based surgery accreditation status which is awarded for three-year terms. Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery is the only medical/surgical office in the Capital District and Upstate New York to be accredited with this important safety designation.
“As patients across the United States increasingly receive cosmetic surgery care in an office-based setting, Joint Commission accreditation provides office-based surgery organizations with processes contributing to improvements in patient care across a variety of areas,” said Michael Kulczycki, Executive Director of the Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation program. “We commend Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery for its efforts to become and maintain itself as a quality improvement organization.”
“Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC is pleased to have been awarded The Joint Commission accreditation for the fourth time in the last 13 years,” explains Dr. Steven Yarinsky, Medical Director. “Our entire staff works to create and implement processes that continuously improve the care our patients receive.”
The Joint Commission’s standards for office-based surgery branch from the organization’s ambulatory care system standards of care. These standards are established with the help of healthcare providers, quality improvement experts, and patients. The standards are measured based on scientific findings as well as expert consensus with the overall goal of always improving the quality of health care available.

Enhance Your Lips and Lines with Restylane® Silk
Finally there is a treatment designed exclusively for enhancing lips and reducing lines around the mouth. We now provide state-of-the-art lip enhancement with Restylane® Silk, a natural hyaluronic acid filler. This is the first and currently the only FDA-approved treatment to enhance your lips and mouth area. It is exclusively provided by a limited number of cosmetic medicine professionals. Whether you have radiating lip lines from smoking or from frequently pursing your lips like from the use of straws to sip, these lines can be dramatically improved or eliminated with Silk. And if you have congenital or hereditarily thin lips or have lost lip volume with aging, Silk can also restore the more youthful lip plumpness that you are looking for. When Restylane® Silk is injected by New Beauty Magazine recognized “Expert Injector” Dimitri Koumanis, MD you are more likely to get the excellent results that you are looking for. With all fillers including Silk, Dr. Koumanis is a firm believer the “less is more” and would rather you have a nice improvement than an overdone look. This approach is not only more affordable for you- since less filler is used, but is more likely to provide you with a natural appearing result.

Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgeon Maximizes Results of Cosmetic Injectables

Dr. Steven Yarinsky uses his knowledge of facial aesthetics and extensive experience as a plastic surgeon to administer fillers and other injectables.
Saratoga Springs, NY – With so many different specialties of doctors, dentists and beauticians offering cosmetic injectables, selecting a provider can be difficult. At Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, Dr. Steven Yarinsky uses his expertise in facial aesthetics and added years of specialized training and 26 years of experience in cosmetic medicine to carefully reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while also restoring lost volume. His goal is to produce beautiful, naturally appearing results rather than an “overdone” look. This cosmetic surgeon is also endorsed by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and New Beauty Magazine as an ExpertInjector™, a distinction for which less than three percent of doctors qualify.
“These days, everyone from dentists to podiatrists and gynecologists are administering injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic,” says the Saratoga Springs plastic surgeon. To help prospective patients choose who should administer their injectables, Dr. Yarinsky recommends spending time researching each provider’s qualifications and experience. Visit www.expertinjector.org for a list of local qualified injectors. Since plastic surgeons often perform procedures like eye lifts or facelifts, Dr. Yarinsky says they typically possess a unique and comprehensive perspective on how to rejuvenate and beautify the face. More specifically, cosmetic plastic surgeons have a sense of artistry that they use to provide maximal, beautiful and natural results with cosmetic injectable treatments.
While injectables are a popular non-surgical treatment to prevent the onset of fine lines and wrinkles, each type has a unique way it achieves a youthful appearance. As a result, the use and benefits of using facial fillers versus other injectables depend on the cosmetic concerns each patient wishes to address. Facial fillers, for example, are designed to replenish or simply add volume to areas of the face to achieve a more youthful appearance. Other injectables, like BOTOX® Cosmetic, are commonly used to relax the underlying facial muscles for smoother forehead “worry lines”, and to produce wrinkle-free skin in the crow’s feet and between the brows.
Not all cosmetic injectable providers are equal. Each of the non-surgical injectable treatments is designed for a unique purpose. Dr. Yarinsky takes the time during his consultation process to create an individualized facial rejuvenation treatment plan recommending the most beneficial options for each person. With the right combination of injectables, Dr. Yarinsky says he can provide a “liquid facelift” that can help his patients to look 5-10 years younger without the need for surgery.
