Can I tighten the skin around my stomach?
We use Exilis in our office to help tighten the skin. In someone who is young as yourself there is usually a very good response. The results will not be as significant as a surgical abdominoplasty, but it is also a nonsurgical procedure with no recovery and no down time. If you are interested, our website has more information (drnein.com). READ MORE
What is a mommy makeover?
Pregnancy causes a number of changes in a woman’s body. These changes can include the creation of muscle laxity of the stomach and looseness/excess skin. Other changes can include sagging of the breasts, loss of ‘perkiness’ and loss of breast volume. At times there can also be some post pregnancy fat accumulation in the hips and/or thighs. A ‘Mommy Makeover’ is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to restore a woman to her pre-pregnancy form. Most commonly this is a combination of a tummy tuck with a breast augmentation and often also includes a breast lift a possibly liposuction. Alexander Nein READ MORE

Can plastic surgery put one at a risk of nerve damage?
The nerve that gives sensation to the nipple exits from between the 3rd and 4th ribs on the side and travels through the breast towards the nipple. In the course of creating the pocket to place a breast implant it is possible to injure this nerve. It is very small and very rarely visible. If the nerve is injured or worse yet cut, one may have temporary or permanent loss of nipple sensation. We are usually very careful in this area to prevent any nerve injury but because the nerve cannot normally be seen it is at some risk. The published risk for loss of nipple sensation after a breast augmentation is about 10% READ MORE
Can liposuction work for diabetic patients?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it is a contouring procedure. One cannot expect to lose weight as a result of liposuction, although clothes may fit better and you may have a more attractive form. Liposuction can be performed safely on diabetic patients provided that their diabetes is well managed. There are some reports that liposuction can reduce the amount of insulin needed to control blood sugars, but this is not a definitive fact. READ MORE
