Kybella vs. Chin Liposuction: Running Neck and Neck

Posted on January 3, 2016 by Dr. Thomas Sterry

Is Kybella Better Than Chin Liposuction? Kybella is the new FDA approved product for injection that melts the fat in your neck to remove the dreaded double chin.  Studies performed by the company were very promising and we are seeing some nice improvements in our patients as well.  The question that arises however, is whether or not Kybella will replace chin liposuction as the mainstay of treatment to create an elegant look in patients who are not ready for a neck lift.

How To Fix Diastasis Recti – Tighten Your Tummy After Pregnancy

Posted on October 2, 2015 by Dr. Thomas Sterry

As both a Plastic Surgeon AND (in a previous life) a Personal Trainer with a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology, I have learned quite a bit about the muscles that make up the abdominal wall.

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Dr. Thomas Sterry

Scar Revision As a plastic surgeon working in New York City I see all manner of injuries and surgical scars in every type and color of skin on this earth.  Most times scars heal well or at least don’t bother patients.  Occasionally however, the mark left behind is either in a particularly bad place (like the face) or heals with an unacceptably bad scar.  These scars may not only be ugly to the observer, but can sometimes affect the functionality of the patient by causing constriction in movement (especially across joints).  This is where the art of plastic surgery might … Continue reading
