- Medical Weight LossTethering bands that pull the nipple inward cause the inversion. Inverted nipples can be caused due to nipple variation from birth, breast development, breastfeeding, trauma, surgery, scars, major weight loss, breast cancer, ptosis, or breast infection.
- Urinary IncontinencePregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding cause a myriad of changes, and diet and exercise alone can't restore a woman's pre-pregnancy breast and body shape. It's common for women to struggle with loose abdominal skin, stretched abdominal muscles (which may come with low back pain and urinary incontinence) and a loss of breast shape and volume. Areas of the body that were once taut and toned may struggle with weight loss after childbearing. Tummy tuck, liposuction and breast surgery address all of these concerns at once.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and Delivery
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)Medications can cause gynecomastia, such as anabolic steroids, AIDS medications, ADHD drugs, anti-anxiety medications, tricyclic antidepressants, antibiotics, chemotherapy, heart medications, and drugs used to treat ulcers. Illicit or recreational drug use and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to gynecomastia.
- Anxiety
- MRIThere may be localized hardness of the implant, or no symptoms at all. For this reason, MRI exams are recommended every few years to screen for potential implant leakage. These MRI tests may or may not be covered by your insurance plan. Depending on the extent of the leakage, the procedure to remove and replace the implant may be more involved, since the implant and any leaked silicone material would need to be removed. Leakage of silicone implants has been shown to be very rare with the newest generation of silicone implants.

- Ear SurgeryOtoplasty or ear surgery is performed on children or adults who have protruding or misshapen ears and desire a more attractive appearance. The affected ears typically have an appearance of sticking out excessively and being flatter, lacking natural ear contours. By reshaping the ears and repositioning them closer to the head, otoplasty can dramatically improve the appearance of the ears, while lending proportion and harmony to the face.
- BotoxAdvances in technology have made it possible for Dr. Arnold Breitbart to provide effective wrinkle treatment and other cosmetic procedures without performing surgery. Patients are now able to experience improvements in their overall appearance without incurring the risks or the amount of recovery time associated with some surgeries. At his Long Island and Manhattan offices, Dr. Breitbart uses BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, Voluma® injections, Vollure, Volubella, Restylane®, and other non-surgical treatments to help patients achieve smoother and younger-looking skin and lips without surgery.
- Brow LiftDepending on the patient’s goals, brow lift surgery may be carried out using either the open technique or the endoscopic method. It is important to discuss these options with Dr. Breitbart to determine which procedure is best suited for you. During endoscopic brow lift surgery, Dr. Breitbart makes three to five short incisions across the scalp. A tiny camera is then inserted through these incisions along with small instruments that Dr. Breitbart uses to tighten the tissues. In open brow lift surgery on the other hand, one long incision is made across the scalp and the skin is lifted to tighten the tissues. The incisions can typically be hidden behind the hairline where they will not be visible after surgery.
- Eyelid SurgeryEyelid surgery has becoming very appealing to many men who seek to improve the overall appearance of the face by opening up the eye area. Due to aging as well as hereditary factors, the eyelid area can appear droopy and sometimes puffy with excessive fatty tissue. Through cosmetic eyelid surgery, men can experience dramatic results where excess skin and fatty tissue may be removed in the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in a refreshing, energetic, and more youthful appearance.
- LiposuctionDr. Breitbart offers SmartLipo Triplex™, the latest advance in liposuction. SmartLipo Triplex™ uses laser technology to remove unwanted excess fat and tighten skin. It is ideal for many areas, including the abdomen, “love handles,“ chest, and neck, the most commonly treated areas in men. This procedure works particularly well in men to treat the stubborn areas of fat of the abdomen, “love handles,” and neck, which can be present despite diet and exercise. Other areas which can be treated include the thighs, knees, and arms.
- Breast AugmentationA woman’s unique figure helps define her femininity, and the shape and size of her breasts play a large role in establishing that feminine identity. Some women go through life with reasts that are disproportionate to what might be appropriate for their bodies. Others are self-conscious about the shape of their breasts or about having one breast that is larger than the other. To deal with such issues, many women choose to enhance the shape and size of their breasts with breast augmentation surgery. Using breast implants at our Long Island and Manhattan centers, Dr. Arnold Breitbart works with each patient to help her safely achieve attractive, natural-looking results with breast augmentation.
- Breast ReductionBreast reduction is a surgical procedure to decrease breast size and it is often performed on women who suffer physical discomfort as a result of large and heavy breasts. After having a breast reduction procedure, patients enjoy relief from a life of back and neck pain caused by their large breasts. Additionally, many patients enjoy an array of wardrobe choices that were never available before due to their large bust sizes.
- Breast LiftA woman’s breasts can change over time due to pregnancy, breast-feeding, weight fluctuations, and aging, and lose their youthful shape and firmness. A breast lift, or mastopexy, rejuvenates breasts, resulting in firmer breasts.
- RhinoplastyA procedure popular among both men and women, chin implants are used to reshape the chin, creating a more defined shape. This procedure helps to balance out a patient’s facial features, creating a more proportional face and neck area. Chin implants may be recommended in conjunction with rhinoplasty or another facial procedure to improve the overall contour of the patient’s face.
- Breast ReconstructionBreast reconstruction surgery is commonly performed at our Manhattan and Long Island locations on patients following mastectomy due to cancer. Breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy can help restore a woman’s sense of femininity and self-confidence. Breast reconstruction can be performed using implants, or with the patient’s own tissue, either at the time of the mastectomy or at a later date.

- Thigh LiftWith two fully equipped facilities in New York City and Long Island, Dr. Breitbart provides thigh lift surgery to remove excess skin from both the thighs and buttocks.
- Face LiftOur face conveys how we feel through expression and appearance. Facial aging greatly impacts our appearance and how others see us. The course of aging can result in loss of skin tone, sagging tissues, and wrinkles. A facelift can correct these consequences, by tightening sagging skin and muscle, removing excess fat, and restoring a youthful and vibrant appearance.
- Neck LiftTypically, the skin on the neck sags and shows signs of aging before the face, giving the appearance of jowls or lax and wrinkled skin. After a neck lift procedure, patients generally look many years younger with a defined and contoured profile.
- BlepharoplastyBlepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia. However, a board-certified anesthesiologist can provide general anesthesia with sedation if desired by the patient. Dr. Breitbart can perform blepharoplasty in his surgical center, which is certified by the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).
- AbdominoplastyA tummy tuck greatly enhances the appearance of the abdomen area by creating a flat and toned abdomen. Many men have found that despite regular exercise and a proper diet, they still have a protruding abdomen or loose skin, which can be caused due to natural aging, weight fluctuations, heredity, and previous surgery. Hence, tummy tuck surgery or abdominoplasty is very appealing. Reducing excess fat and skin, a tummy tuck creates a smooth and firm abdomen with improved muscle definition.
- Nose SurgeryFor individuals with nasal obstructions, nose surgery can improve airflow through the nostrils and resolve breathing problems. The surgical approach depends on the type of nasal obstruction. The most common type of obstruction is a deviated septum, and the surgery to repair it is called septoplasty or corrective septal surgery.
- Body LiftTo reshape the contours of the inner thigh, Dr. Breitbart will typically make an incision in the groin crease, and achieve an inner thigh lift by removing skin excess and tightening the inner thigh. Outer thigh tightening can be achieved as part of a lower body lift. In both types of procedures, incisions are strategically placed so that any scarring after surgery will be as inconspicuous as possible, even when wearing a bathing suit.

- OtoplastyChildren or adults with protruding ears may commonly suffer the emotional consequences of being teased by others.

Following otoplasty, patients typically experience an increase in self-esteem and become much more confident in social situations.
