There is an unfortunate misconception surrounding liposuction that it is a miracle device. It allows you to skip over the whole exercise regimen and go straight to losing all of your unwanted fat in a day. The fact is that this is simply not the case. Our Liposuction NJ procedure (AKA liposculpture or lipoplasty) is a wonderful means of removing unwanted fat. However, it is really meant to erase the stubborn fat areas that won’t leave with continued exercise. It might sound cliché, but diet and exercise is an essential part of any healthy lifestyle. Diet/Exercise both enhance the effects of a proper liposuction procedure, as is with most other fat removal procedures. Here are a few ways that diet and exercise are not just beneficial to your liposuction results, but are in fact necessary for them.

BEFORE LIPOSUCTION

In order to be considered eligible for the liposuction NJ procedure, one has to generally be in a healthy physical state. If you speak with Dr. Gartner, he will be able to tell you your eligibility requirements for undergoing liposuction. As mentioned earlier, Liposuction targets the fat deposits that exercise cannot reach. That is why it is important to try a healthy diet and exercise plan, to see if your unwanted fat can be removed through that first. If you do and there are still some areas of your body where fat remains, then it might be time to get the liposuction NJ procedure.

AFTER LIPOSUCTION

Once liposuction is complete, you will receive guidance on how to move through recovery. Patients are usually able to go back to exercising the first week after liposuction. It is recommended to continue a reasonable diet/exercise regimen in order to maintain your new physique. Just because you lose a lot of weight doesn’t mean that you can’t gain it back. But the beauty of liposuction is that it does what exercise cannot do. It removes the fat that is too stubborn to go away with just diet and exercise. And the importance of diet and exercise is how it is a natural and healthy means of removing the larger amount of fat that liposuction cannot do on its own. This just goes to show how a healthy lifestyle harmoniously benefits a cosmetic surgery.

To see if you are eligible for liposuction, or if you have any other questions, be sure to contact Dr. Gartner here. He will be able to talk to you about the best possible way to get the body sculpt you have been looking for.

The stomach is often the part of the body that we are the most conscious of. We often think, “Is it sticking out too much?” or “Is this shirt too tight on the hips?” Well for now on, you can worry less about those things with our fat-reduction procedures for the stomach area. If you meet with Dr. Gartner, he will be able to let you know which procedure is the best fit for you. Whether it ends up being the Tummy Tuck NJ, Liposuction NJ, or Non-Surgical Fat Reduction NJ, here is some information to keep in mind before going in to meet with Dr. Gartner about the procedures.

TUMMY TUCK

The abdominoplasty (or Tummy Tuck) is a procedure that removes excess fat and skin from your abdomen in order to create both a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing look. It also tightens the abdominal wall muscles, which makes your stomach protrude less. The Tummy Tuck NJ surgery includes liposuction, abdominal muscle tightening, and excess skin/fat excisions. Not only will your stomach be flatter, but your love handles and excess skin will be gone as well.

LIPOSUCTION

Although our Tummy Tuck NJ procedure is effectively encompassing, there are far more specific procedures for those who just want certain fat areas taken care of. Liposculpture/Lipoplasty is a procedure that removes any fat that regular diet and exercise cannot get out. This just might be the answer to the love-handles that are too stubborn to go away. Dr. Gartner’s Liposuction NJ procedure uses the Smartlipo device for the best possible results. Smartlipo is a laser-assisted machine that safely melts the fat so that it becomes easier to suck out.

NON-SURGICAL FAT REDUCTION

If you would like a less invasive procedure, then the Non-surgical Fat Reduction NJ might be the most appealing. It is similar to the liposuction in the sense of it being for pesky fat deposits that won’t go away with diet and exercise. However, it is less invasive lipo since it simply uses gentle heat to melt the fat until it is completely gone. We do this through the Exilis device. The Exilis targets the fat in your body uses focused radio-frequencies in order to melt the fat away into nothing. Like our other procedures, the Non-Surgical Fat Reduction is a completely safe and healthy means of getting rid of the fat that just won’t go away with diet and exercise. If you would like to see if you are eligible for any of these procedures, be sure to contact Dr. Gartner for more information.

Fat is often considered the enemy of a well-sculpted physique. This is the case when it comes to bulging fat deposits. However, there are plenty of other areas on our bodies that tend to shrink or thin out due to age or natural growth. When we want our bodies to be more voluptuous, we often look to dieting and exercise to get a more defined hourglass figure. And yet, calories and squats cannot always do the job. That is why Dr. Gartner offers fat transfer techniques in procedures such as the Breast Augmentation NJ. If you are looking to add more to your face and body, perhaps these fat-based procedures can give you the look and feel you’ve been dreaming of.

FAT TRANSFER BREAST AUGMENTATION

It is no secret that procedures such as the breast augmentation NJ are meant to make your chest look bigger. Most consider only using implants (i.e. the Ideal Implant), but what about Fat transfer? Our Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation NJ procedure simply takes out the fat from other parts of our body and uses it to sculpt out your breasts. This is hitting two birds with one stone since you could be slimmer in the part of your body that is too full, and fuller in the part that is too thin.

DERMAL FILLERS

When your face is not as balanced or full as you would like it to be, then perhaps dermal fillers can give you the shape you have been looking for. There are several choices of filler product, but there is also the option to transfer fat from another part of your body to your face. Much like the Breast Augmentation NJ procedure, Fat-based Dermal Fillers work by removing unwanted areas of fat on your body and moving it to your face. You will have to talk to Dr. Gartner to see if you are eligible for this type of filler procedure.

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT

If you are looking for a fuller bottom with smoother hips, then the Brazilian Butt Lift is what you need. The fat can be pulled from either your stomach, waist, back, or thighs in order to be moved to your buttocks. Much like the other procedures, the Butt Lift not only adds fullness to your buttocks but also reshapes your buttocks for a healthier and more appealing form.

We often go for cosmetic surgery just to look more aesthetically appealing. A smoother stomach, firmer breasts, and bigger buttocks are all great cosmetic goals. However, as time goes by, we all know that our faces tend to sag due to age and worn. This might be concerning for cosmetic reasons, but also for communication as well. Our face is the center for emotion, therefore sagging skin around our eyes and mouth can give off a perception of our emotions that is just generally untrue. You might seem tired, or impatient when really it is just your eyelids dropping giving that impression. Why not have the chance to look in the mirror and see yourself as you really feel? With our Eyelift NJ, Brow lift NJ, or Facelift NJ procedure, you will appear younger and more alive in your facial expressions.

EYELIFT

As we grow older, bags can grow around our eyelids, which make us appear worn out and not as jovial. An Eyelift (AKA Eyelid lift or Blepharoplasty) is a surgery in which we smooth away any wrinkles and remove excess fat and skin around the eyes. Our Eyelift NJ procedure is custom made for whatever blemishes you would like removed (i.e. excess fat and skin and where they are placed around the eyes).

BROWLIFT

Along with the Eyelift NJ procedure, the Brow lift (or Forehead lift) has one of the greatest effects on your emotional expression. A sagging forehead not only hinders your expressions but also your field of vision. Dr. Gartner customizes the Brow lift NJ procedure to fit your specific look, and the incisions are made along your hairline to safely hide the scars. Needless to say, no one will confuse you for looking permanently tired or angry ever again.

FACELIFT

Dr. Gartner’s Facelift NJ procedure (AKA Rhytidectomy) reaches beyond your eyes to make your whole face look as young and alive as it used to. This is a great use since our faces can develop jowls and wrinkles that make us look sad, even when we are not. If you would like to look more alive, then Dr. Gartner’s Face Lift NJ can do just that. This tends to be a lasting facelift because it is supported by the facial tissues known as the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (or SMAS for short).

There are plenty of choices to rejuvenate your facial expressions. Whether or not you are looking for a specific fix or an overall reworking, Dr. Gartner will be able to consult you on the best procedure to choose from. For more information on our other facial procedures, be sure to check out our treatments page. If you would like to set up a meeting, you can contact Dr. Gartner for the best available time.

There are many people who get excited about the idea of getting liposuction or breast implants, but then become afraid of the idea once they hear of several health problems. If there are ever any risks with a procedure, they are addressed and handled beforehand with Dr. Gartner. But many risks that people are afraid of are not even risks at all. They are just myths preconceived overtime, and no one should ever have to be afraid of cosmetic surgery when handled by a professionally accredited surgeon. To help put your fears to rest, here are 5 of the most prevalent Plastic Surgery myths debunked.

1. The terms “Plastic Surgery” and “Cosmetic Surgery” are interchangeable

Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic surgery are easily confused for the same thing too often. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery defines Plastic Surgery as: “… a surgical specialty dedicated to

“… a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease.”

They also state that

“The procedures, techniques, and principles of cosmetic surgery are entirely focused on enhancing a patient’s appearance.”

In short, plastic surgery is based more on the necessity of reconstructing one’s body due to health concerns. Cosmetic surgery is based on reconstruction one’s body for beauty reasons.

They state that the procedures, techniques, and principles of cosmetic surgery are entirely focused on enhancing a patient’s appearance. In short, plastic surgery is based more on the necessity of reconstructing one’s body due to health concerns. Cosmetic surgery is based on reconstruction one’s body for beauty reasons.

2. Botox hinders your facial expressions

This is often joked about in Television and movies. Yes, Botox can freeze one’s facial muscles if they receive too much of the chemical. In this case, there is too much of a good thing. However, Botox is perfectly fine when received in appropriate doses.

3. Cellulite can be removed through Liposuction

Although Liposuction does remove hard-to-lose fat deposits, cellulite is an entirely different story. Because cellulite is a mixture of fat, fibrous tissue and toxins that reside underneath the skin. Proper cellulite removal (Surgical and Non-surgical) is provided here at Gartner Plastic Surgery and Laser Center.

4. Liposuction can be a quick weight-loss solution

The one thing must always be addressed when getting liposuction (or any cosmetic surgery) is the proper motivation for it. Liposuction is only meant to take away stubborn fat deposits that exercise and dieting cannot take away. It is essentially a last resort. However, it must be stated that liposuction is a positively helpful resort. We just recommend exercising and dieting before deciding to go for it.

5. You cannot breastfeed after getting breast Implants

This is simply untrue. It has been confirmed by Mayo Clinic that a mother is perfectly capable of breastfeeding while having breast implants. Even if breast implants leak, the liquid from the silicone would not harm the baby when mixed with the breast milk.

If you have any further questions regarding any of these procedures, please be sure to contact Dr. Gartner here. He will speak to you in order to determine what plastic surgeries will be most appropriate for your health.

Most people who come in for cosmetic surgery know exactly what they want to adjust in their body. They want a Facelift or Ideal Breast Implants NJ and that’s it. Others have a more vague idea of what they want. They want a general adjustment to their bottom half or for their face to look younger. No matter what your goals are, there are plenty of procedures that are able to grant you your desired cosmetic adjustment. Just to get an idea of what people around the nation are finding helpful for their appearance, here are the top 5 most popular plastic surgeries in America.

5. FACELIFT (RHYTIDECTOMY)

Often the most helpful of facial procedures, the Facelift adjusts the sagging tissues on your face in order to smooth out wrinkles, jowls, and the general strain of age.

4. TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)

Sometimes, no matter how hard we work out and diet, the fat around our stomach area just won’t go away. For necessary situations such as these, a Tummy Tuck may be just what you need. The procedure will fix the diastasis recti, which is the separation between your abdominals. When they are separated, they make your stomach push out further, so this procedure will smooth out your stomach and adjust it back to where you would like it to be.

3. LIPOSUCTION (LIPOSCULPTURE OR LIPOPLASTY)

Another kind of assistance for stubborn fat is Liposuction. This procedure targets areas of fat that refuse to reduce despite losing weight in other areas. Dr. Gartner’s liposuction device works by first melting the fat in targeted areas, and then sucking the fat out via a microcannula.

2. EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY)

Unfortunately, as time goes by, your skin tends to sag. The perception of one’s mood can be greatly affected if their eyes have too much bagging. They can appear tired and older. With an eyelid lift, their entire mood can be enhanced inside and out, as well as improved vision since there is no longer any obstruction.

1. BREAST AUGMENTATION (AUGMENTATION MAMMAPLASTY)

The most popular procedure, breast augmentation comes in many different forms. Through fat transfer, implants, and reduction (male and female), one can get their ideal chest appearance that they have been searching for. There are also plenty of breast implant options to choose from, including Saline, silicone, and the new Ideal Breast Implants NJ.

Whether or not you are intrigued by options such as the Ideal Breast Implants NJ or the Tummy Tuck, there are far more procedures to choose from in our treatments catalog. For more information on which plastic surgery procedure is right for you, be sure to contact Dr. Gartner for more information.

There are many invasive surgeries that offer wonderful rejuvenation possibilities. Butt Lifts and Tummy Tucks all can make someone look younger and more in line with their ideal health. However, one overlooked fat area can be altered through less-invasive means. Non-surgical cellulite reduction is a treatment that can better smooth out your body contour by melting away the fat that builds up around the thighs and buttocks. Here are a few ways that our NJ plastic surgeon, Dr. Gartner can reduce your body’s cellulite amount without any invasive surgery.

The Exilis Procedure

We at Gartner Plastic Surgery and Laser Center utilize the Exilis for our cellulite reduction procedure. The Exilis is a top of the line device that is capable of melting away fat without any incisions necessary. The Exilis works by sending radio frequency signals to the fat deposits on your thighs and buttocks. It heats up the deposits, causing them to melt away. This procedure can be done through multiple sessions in order to give you both a firm and smoother contour to your bottom area. Due to the advancements in the machine, more areas can be targeted and melted within one session.

Less Saggy Skin

Although we want less fat on our bodies, we don’t want our skin to be left hanging as well. Aside from melting the fat deposits, the Exilis also arranges the collagen fibers in your skin. This process allows for your skin to be firmer now that there is less fat to hold underneath.

The Right Surgeon

The Exilis is a remarkable device for non-surgical cellulite reduction. However, it is merely an empty tool without the proper plastic surgeon behind it. Dr. Gartner is an experienced NJ plastic surgeon who understands just how fragile and particular one has to be when making adjustments to a patient’s body. If you choose to speak with Dr. Gartner about the procedure, he will show you just how safe and fulfilling this procedure can really be.

See examples of past cellulite removal procedures. Aside from cellulite on your thighs and buttocks, we also offer non-surgical fat removal for other areas of your body. These also utilize the Exilis heating device. If you have any further questions or wish to see about undergoing Cellulite removal yourself, be sure to contact Dr. Gartner.

How often do you think about your face? Aside from the rest of the body, most people are highly conscious of their facial features. Your face is often the first impression made when meeting people. Moles, wrinkles, and/or bulges can be small, yet persistently annoying concerns for our aesthetic appearance. It is far easier to just get rid of the blemishes with cosmetic surgery, rather than having to put up with them recurringly. Here at Gartner Plastic Surgery and Laser Center, there are multiple facial plastic surgery procedures that can enhance your face by reducing problems and helping positive features.

Eyelid Lift

If your face is the start of first impressions, then the eyes are what people first notice. Aside from hindering your vision, droopy, sagging eyelids can make you look tired and older. With a good Eyelid lift, you will see a whole new realm of aesthetic possibilities.

Face Lift

Aside from sagginess in the eyes, tissues can sag all over the face. This is solved with a face-lift procedure, which not only eliminates wrinkles and sagging but also enhances your jaw-line by removing jowls.

Brow Lift

Similar to the Eyelid lift, the Brow-lift adds a lot to how you appear emotionally. Sagging skin on your forehead and eyebrows can make you look angry and exhausted. To avoid this feeling, our brow-lift cosmetic surgery will be able to rejuvenate your head like nothing else.

Cheek Implants

This type of facial plastic surgery gives more than it takes away. Over time cheeks can grow a little sunken and undefined. Cheek augmentation through implants will bring the much-needed balance, fullness, and contour that you are looking for.

Chin Implants

Every part of your face needs to be balanced in order to have a better profile. If the chin is too small, or too large, then it sets off the whole look. The implants can adjust your chin’s width, height, and projection. Your neckline will be more aesthetically pleasing, as well as the balance between your chin and nose. There are also other cosmetic surgery options available for your chin, such as injectable fillers and liposuction.

Mole and Lipoma Removal

Some moles or blemishes can be aesthetically pleasing when they are small (i.e. Marylin Monroe). However, when they grow to be too distracting for you personally, then it is time to get them removed. Our Mole and Lipoma removal procedure can remove these blemishes anywhere on your face and body, therefore enhancing your aesthetic appearance and general health.

Cosmetic Ear Surgery

Often times it is our ears that can the most embarrassing part of our appearance. However, they don’t need to be. If your ears are too small, large, or asymmetrical, Dr. Gartner will be able to adjust them accordingly.

For information on receiving your own facial plastic surgery, please be sure to contact Dr. Gartner. He will be happy to hear from you on what your cosmetic goals are, and how he can bring those goals to life.

Many people are afraid to give plastic surgery a try because they find it to be a little too invasive. The incisions might be a little risky for your taste. What if the scar is noticeable? What if my body cannot handle it? The most important thing to remember with any of our procedures is that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to safety and expectations. Dr. Gartner (a locally-based Paramus plastic surgeon) will evaluate you and let you know all there is to expect with the treatment and recovery process.

However, it is perfectly all right if you still feel like invasive procedures are not your thing. As a trusted Paramus plastic surgeon, Dr. Gartner wants you to feel as assured with your procedure as you are with your results. We at Gartner Plastic Surgery and laser Center want you to feel as satisfied and comfortable as possible with your choices. If you would still like a procedure, there are plenty of non-invasive treatments that we can offer. Take a look below to hear about the benefits of our non-surgical treatments.

Injectable Fillers

Injectable dermal fillers serve the purpose of making your face appear like you did years ago. They reduce wrinkles, enhance cheekbones, increase cheek volume, and alter the shape of your nose.

Laser Hair Removal

Wouldn’t you just love to not have to shave ever again? Well, thankfully our Laser Center offers you hair removal treatment that targets any area on your face and/or body. We even take care of irritated ingrown hair that has been bugging you for a while. The treatment is performed through using highly concentrated light to erase unwanted hair follicles.

Non-invasive Fat Reduction

This treatment is performed through our Exilis system, which is a technological device that gently heats the unwanted fat in your body. The heat melts away the fat without any sort of invasive plastic surgery necessary.

Skin Tightening

With this treatment, the Exilis can also be used to tighten saggy skin and make your face appear firmer and in shape. Using thermal energy, the Exilis unravels the skin in order to kick-start its natural healing process.

Botox/Dysport Injections

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures, facial injections offer simple and fast skin solutions that do not require surgery. Botox and Dysport are chemicals that can block muscle contraction. When put into certain areas on the face, it can remove unwanted wrinkles and leave you with a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Non-invasive Cellulite Reduction

Unfortunately, cellulite can build up on one’s thighs and buttocks over time. In order for your bottom side to appear less saggy, our treatment targets unwanted cellulite and melts it away for a smoother contour.

If you are looking for more information on our services, be sure to contact Paramus plastic surgeon, Dr. Gartner. He will be able to answer any questions regarding pricing and how eligible you will be for your surgery of choice.

Diet and Exercise are always recommended as the first line of defense against unwanted fat. But sometimes, no matter how hard we try, there are certain fat deposits that just cannot go away. Situations like these can be remedied with proper cosmetic surgery. When it comes to cellulite buildup, Gartner Plastic Surgery and Laser Center offers multiple kinds of treatments to erase the unwanted fat. Below you will find a description of how cellulite builds up in your body, and the treatments available in order to remove it.

What is Cellulite?

Despite certain misconceptions, cellulite is not dangerous. It is instead the natural fat found beneath a person’s skin. It often builds up around the arms, thighs, buttocks, and stomach area. The cellulite bulges through the collagen fibers underneath the skin, causing uncomfortable-looking ripples. It is made up of fat, various toxins, and fibrous tissue. Bad diets, slow metabolism, hormone change, skin thickness, and/or genetics normally cause cellulite buildup. One does not have to be overweight in order to have cellulite deposits; both thin and heftier people are capable of carrying cellulite deposits.

Surgical Cellulite Removal

Although cellulite is a pesky kind of weight to lose, it is still possible to drop, especially with cosmetic surgery. There are two procedures that we offer for patients: surgical, and non-surgical cellulite removal. Although they might seem straightforward in their titles, there is more to the procedures than just being about invasiveness. The surgical cellulite removal treatment is only minimally invasive and is performed comfortably under local anesthesia. It is done through using a microcannula through a small incision. From there, the microcannula melts the fat and breaks up fibrous tissue. This procedure ends up destroying the source of the fat with a precise measure.

Non-Surgical Cellulite Removal

The Non-surgical cellulite reduction treatment works through a radio frequency device called Exilis. Exilis centers on and heats up the fat deposits underneath the skin, therefore erasing them without having to perform any incisions. While the cellulite fat is destroyed, the collagen fibers in your skin are rearranged so that they can be flatter and less saggy.

Although these procedures may differ in approach, they are both similar in the goal of a smoother, well-toned body. And most importantly, Dr. Gartner performs them both with high-quality care. For more information on our other fat removal cosmetic surgery procedures, please be sure to see our treatments page. If you are interested in getting one of these treatments, be sure to contact Dr. Gartner.
