Dr. Samuel J. Beran and medical staff of the Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Westchester P.L.L.C. perform many cosmetic surgical procedures and always incorporate the latest techniques and technologies to best treat patients. Provided below is a basic description of our most popular procedures, as well as their average cost.

Breast Augmentation

This is usually performed to enlarge naturally small breasts or those that have decreased in size post-pregnancy. It also is performed to improve asymmetrical breasts. It is accomplished by the surgical insertion behind of a saline or silicone gel-filled implant. The implant is typically inserted through a small incision in the crease just underneath the breast or around the areola. The all inclusive cost for saline implants is $4,995, and for silicone implants it is $5,995.

Liposuction

This is a versatile procedure that can be performed in areas all over the face and body to remove excess fat. Liposuction is ideal for people who have stubborn areas of localized fat that despite diet and exercise do not go away.

A small, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through one or more tiny incisions. The cannula is connected to a vacuum pressure unit. The surgeon then guides the cannula to permanently vacuum away unwanted, excess fat. Professional fees for this treatment average $3,000.

Tummy Tuck

Also referred to as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck surgery removes excess fat and loose skin to create a more contoured and streamlined midsection. A tummy tuck can restore loose skin and weakened muscles. The procedure is popular with both men and women who experience dramatic weight loss. It is also a go-to treatment for women who, despite diet and exercise, have difficulty shedding all of their post-pregnancy weight. Liposuction is sometimes involved in tandem with a tummy tuck. Professional fees for this treatment average $5,000.

Breast Lift

The purpose of a breast lift is to restore the natural contour of a woman’s breasts. This is done by reshaping and elevating the breast tissue to a higher level and lifting the nipple and areola to a higher position. The surgeon removes excess skin from the lower portion of the breast and reshapes the remaining skin. Breast lifts are sometimes used in tangent with breast augmentations, depending on the patient’s needs. Professional fees for this treatment average $4,500.

Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeovers are comprised of cosmetic surgical treatments to address the physical changes incurred from pregnancy, child birth, and breast feeding. Common postnatal effects can include breast drooping, unwanted fat deposits, and a change in stomach contours. To improve these features, Dr. Beran performs procedures such as breast lift surgery, breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck surgery. Whatever your needs are, they will be addressed in a consultation so that the right surgical approaches for you can be identified. Because the procedures performed are always varied depending on each individual patient’s needs, costs can vary widely.

Rhinoplasty

Nose reshaping alters the size and shape of your nose’s bridge and tip. There are two types – “open” and “closed” rhinoplasty. A closed procedure is performed through incisions made inside the nose. An open procedure benefits patients with more complex correction needs. With this technique, a small incision is made on the outside of the nose, across the dividing tissue between the nostrils called the columella. The surgeon then turns the outer tissue of the nose back to gain visualization of the internal structures. Additional incisions, like those in a closed approach, are made inside the nose. Professional fees for this treatment average $4,000.

Facelift

Facelift surgery is ideal for patients who have multiple areas on their face and neck that have sagging skin. If there is only or two areas with heavy wrinkles or lines, injectable treatments such as Botox ® or Juvederm ® could be a better option. Otherwise, a facelift addresses many areas of the face and provides a strikingly youthful appearance.

Incisions are made discreetly below the hair line and follow the natural facial contours down to the ears. This is done in order to be easily concealed by hair and makeup. Typically, the layers of facial tissues are then tightened through lifting and repositioning the skin. In some less extensive procedures, sometimes called a “mini lift,” the tightening is minimal and is designed to get rid of early folds and jowls. Professional fees for this treatment average $6,500.
