- Urinary IncontinenceOnce you reach a certain age, every day seems to bring a new change in your body – both in terms of appearance and function. Some of the most prevalent issues are the decrease in moisture and increase in sagging skin on your face – but have you given any thought to how those same changes affect the delicate tissues of your vagina? The effects of the aging process, hormone fluctuations and childbirth on the muscles and skin of your vagina can leave you dealing with problems such as dryness, vaginal laxity and reduced sexual sensation. At Umansky Plastic Surgery, our nurses are proud to offer Viveve, a device that provides the only available non-invasive, single session treatment option used to resolve several issues associated with vaginal changes. Viveve is an excellent choice for women who are looking for a quick, effective nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure designed to improve symptoms of vaginal laxity, loss of sexual sensation or urinary incontinence.
- PregnancyThe body undergoes massive changes during pregnancy and childbirth. The abdominal skin and muscles stretch to accommodate the baby, weight gain can create unwanted fat deposits, and breastfeeding can lead to a loss of volume and droopiness of the breasts. While every woman’s body responds to pregnancy differently, these concerns are common among new mothers. Unfortunately, many of these changes are permanent and can negatively impact one’s self-esteem. When diet and exercise are not enough to reverse the effects of pregnancy, a mommy makeover can help you reclaim your pre-baby body.
- Labor and DeliveryWeight gain is a common part of life for many people, especially once they are past their youth. With aging, our metabolism slows, and our bodies tend to store fat more easily. Women are likely to gain excess fat during pregnancy that is difficult to get rid of after childbirth.

- UltrasoundSilicone gel implants may rupture silently, meaning that leaks are not always immediately apparent or easy to detect. In fact, it may be necessary to have an ultrasound or MRI study to identify a silicone implant rupture. In addition, some studies have shown that silicone implants are more likely than saline to lead to capsular contracture—a complication in which the breast implant becomes distorted as a result of hardened scar tissue.

- BotoxDysport, a newer alternative to Botox, is made from the same bacterium as Botox but requires different preparation and dosing. Dysport is an effective anti-aging treatment that specifically addresses the same areas as Botox. Dysport results become evident within a few days following treatment, and the results typically last about three months.
- Brow LiftA youthful brow at rest is positioned above the orbital rim, with a gradual arch laterally, and the lateral end or ‘tail’ of the brow located higher than the inner end. As one ages, it is common for the brow to assume a flat or horizontal position. If brow becomes droopy or looks heavy, a brow lift is a time-tested method for rejuvenating the upper third of the face.
- Eyelid SurgeryThe skin of the eyelids is exceptionally thin and fragile, making it prone to drooping over the years. If your eyelids have become noticeably wrinkled or creased, if the skin of your upper eyelids is sagging down toward your lash line or if your lower eyelids have developed drooping, puffy bags, eyelid surgery — also called blepharoplasty — may be right for you. Blepharoplasty can give your eyes a more open and alert look, restoring youthful energy to your entire face.

- RhinoplastyYour nose is a central feature of your face, both literally and figuratively. If you’re unhappy with the way it looks, it can be difficult to face the mirror every day or feel confident in social situations. Rhinoplasty can fix a number of cosmetic problems related to the nose, including bumps on the bridge, large nostrils, a drooping or curved tip, or width concerns. Rhinoplasty can also balance your face if your nose is disproportionately sized or positioned in a way that results in an asymmetrical appearance. The Drs. Umansky bring years of experience and artistic sensibility to this procedure, ensuring your new nose will fit your face and bring out the best in all of your features. Rhinoplasty
- Breast ReconstructionCapsular contracture may happen despite the best efforts to avoid it. Implant studies of how often capsular contracture occurs will vary depending on type of procedure (above or below muscle implant placement) and the type of implant (silicone or saline). Women who undergo breast reconstruction after Cancer, who have radiation treatment, tend to be on the higher end of the statistics.

- Thigh LiftPatients who have excess skin and significant buttock or thigh sagging may benefit from excisional operations such as a lower body lift or a thigh lift. These procedures reposition and tighten sagging skin and fat in the lower body to give you a more toned appearance.
- Face LiftEven the best skincare routines cannot stop the aging process. No matter how often you apply sunscreen or how much you moisturize, changes in the natural structure of your skin eventually give way to concerns like lines and sagging. It can be difficult to look in the mirror and see a reflection that appears older than you feel. A facelift, sometimes called a rhytidectomy, tightens the skin of the face and neck, achieving an overall younger appearance by reversing the effects of time and gravity. William Umansky, MD and Jeffrey Umansky, MD aim to help patients achieve the most beautiful and natural-looking results that complement their unique facial features. Facelift

- BlepharoplastyBlepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct excess and sagging skin and tissue around the eyes to create a more vibrant, awake and youthful appearance. By removing excess tissue and tightening the remaining surrounding skin, fine lines, wrinkles and folds are also addressed. This procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both to create the desired appearance.
- AbdominoplastyBoth Drs. Umansky often use a “drainless†approach when performing abdominoplasty, which makes for an easier recovery process. They also close the incisions with attention to detail and buried sutures to provide the best possible scar.
- Body LiftButtock Implants: a relevant alternative for patients who desire large buttocks and do not have excess fat. However, there are significant risks associated with buttock implants: infection, extrusion and other complications associated with this procedure. For these reasons, the surgeons of Umansky Plastic Surgery do not perform buttock enhancement with implants, as patient safety is their number one priority.Individuals who have excess skin may need excisional operations such as a Lower Body Lift or a Thigh Lift.
- OtoplastyOtoplasty is the reshaping of the ears, correcting ears that protrude excessively from the sides of the head. Protruding ears can result in psychological trauma to children who are subject to teasing by their peers. Adults are not immune to the embarrassment of protruding ears, either. Reshaping of the ears can provide emotional and cosmetic benefits at any age.

- Chemical PeelsA chemical peel or facial peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that works to gently strip away dead skin cells from varying depths of the skin to reduce the appearance of lines, discolorations and impurities and allow for new healthy skin cells to take their place. A facial peel can dramatically improve both your skin tone and texture to restore a healthy, natural glow to your complexion and take years off of your appearance – all in one short treatment.
- Skin CareFacial wrinkles can make you appear stressed, tired, angry and older than you feel. While a healthy lifestyle and a consistent skin care regimen are essential to graceful aging, they may not be enough to achieve the results you’re seeking. A prescription treatment is the best choice for many men and women seeking dramatic facial rejuvenation and lasting results. Dysport is an effective anti-aging treatment that improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Untreated areas continue to move naturally, so it’s your lines that are minimized, not your expressions. Dysport
