Steve Buscemi Eyes

June 7, 2012 DS Leave a comment

Have you seen this site? Try it out when you are stuck on the subway or waiting for your latte at Starbucks: take Steve Buscemi’s eyes and put them on other celebrities… like Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Rebecca Black, and Christina Aguilera! Presto! They’re gone…just as fast as they got there. Except in this case, no surgery was needed.

On the other hand, if you or someone you know has eyes that really do look like Steve Buscemi’s, pick up the phone, dial 212.434.1210 and head directly to Dr. Yagoda’s office for an eyelift. You won’t believe the difference.

Here’s to a more refreshed, younger appearance!

Can my nose look like this picture?

ASK DR. YAGODA

Question: Can a rhinoplasty or nose job surgery make my nose look like the model’s nose in this magazine ad?

Answer: That depends on how many similarities you have with the model you have selected. Each feature on your face indirectly impacts the other structures. For example, if you desire a cosmetic procedure that will reduce a large bump on the nose, that may transform eyes that looked close together and make them appear more normally spaced. In fact, the eyes haven’t changed position at all. If you have similar facial structures, and your skin is similar, results may be imitated by a skilled plastic surgeon. It is not possible to look exactly the same, but there may be a resemblance.

Why do some people have dimples and others don’t?

May 31, 2012 DS Leave a comment

This article explains why some of us are born with dimples while others are left wishing they had them. It makes one factual error though- in the first paragraph it says “Obviously you can’t make yourself have a dimple if you weren’t born with one”, but this is false.

Dr. Yagoda offers dimple creation for those who want dimples. Getting dimples is easy and fast and the results are cuter than ever.

Can a nose job or rhinoplasty look subtle and natural?

May 22, 2012 DS Leave a comment

ASK DOCTOR YAGODA

Question: I’m 32, female, and I live in New York City. I’d like a rhinoplasty procedure but I’m somewhat of a celebrity on Broadway. Is it possible to get a nose job that looks natural but is also subtle?

Answer: As a facial plastic surgeon I take care of a number of celebrities in theater, film and radio in New York City and around the world, and I am often asked to perform subtle finesse celebrity rhinoplasty. Many times this is in combination with functional nasal plastic surgery. High-definition film and television accentuate irregularities on celebrities that are otherwise blessed physically, and that nearly imperceptible in “real life”. Accordingly, the surgical changes must be natural, and perfect on high-definition view. Recently, I performed a combined functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty on a television anchor person, and she was back “on-air” five days later. Her co-workers never suspected that she had a rhinoplasty. In fact, they guessed that she had a breast augmentation because of the new “push-up” bra she was wearing!!

Stem Cell Facelift?

May 20, 2012 DS Leave a comment

Have you heard of a stem cell facelift?

Courtney Love, former wife of the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, is reported to have gotten a stem cell facelift back in 2010. The results are not very impressive. It may sound great, but in fact in many hands it’s little more than a fat transfer with volumizing and wrinkle-filling. I recommend fillers like Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, LaViv, and Belotero to rejuvenate an aging face and to restore lost volume by eliminating wrinkles.
