NON-SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Facial cosmetic plastic surgery has benefited significantly from recent advances in techniques and available injectables. Using current products, it is possible for facial plastic surgeons to non-invasively reduce wrinkles, add volume, and rejuvenate the face with minimal to no downtime. The non-surgical options have provided patients with options to improve their appearance without the costs and downtime associated with surgery. 

Non-surgical alternatives are often referred to as the “liquid” version of the procedure such as a liquid nose job or liquid facelift. The name refers to the use of injectable liquids such as dermal fillers and Botox to produce the desired changes. In addition, these procedures are temporary and over time the face will return to the pre-procedural appearance unless repeat or touch-up injections are performed.

Other techniques such as skin resurfacing, laser therapies, radiofrequency skin tightening, and intense pulsed light therapy are available to produce dramatic changes in the appearance of the face without surgery.

FEATURED testimonials

"I am very happy with the results."

“Prior to the consultation, I was very uneasy about getting fillers in my cheeks because I didn’t want to look unnatural or feminine. Dr. Zimm senses my concerns and was very patient…before leaving his office, I knew exactly what to expect over the next few days after the injection. All in all, I am very happy with the results and I’m glad I found Dr. Zimm’s office.”

"My breathing is significantly improved and the cosmetic portion was beautifully done."

“…As a healthcare provider myself, I have worked with many physicians over the years and I can attest to his competence and professionalism. His practice is extremely well run and his excellent bedside manner, astute medical knowledge and involvement in the latest research put me at ease and allowed for me to completely trust his abilities… His passion for his field of work is evident, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my sinus reconstruction and rhinoplasty -- my breathing is significantly improved and the cosmetic portion is beautifully done.”

"World-class Surgeon with a Small-town Manner"

“I was really impressed by how much he knew about state-of-the art surgical techniques and practiced them. He is clearly an extremely skilled surgeon. He is also a very intelligent and kind person. As someone who doesn't love the idea of surgery, I felt comfortable and confident… As someone who works as a professor and an artist, I can say that Dr. Zimm sets a high bar for engaging with people and teaching them about their condition, for putting people at ease and building trust, and for clearly being passionate about both the artistry and the technical dexterity of his work. I couldn't recommend him more.”

"He won me by his demeanor, his experience, strive for perfection and honesty."

“Need a perfect, natural-looking nose? Go nowhere else but to Dr. Zimm!...Being involved in the industry myself, I went to 13 different rhinoplasty consultations in NYC to find the right surgeon. After hearing lots of opinions, prices and seeing different images of the "perfect" nose, I chose Dr. Zimm. He won me by his demeanor, his experience, strive for perfection and honesty. He also didn't have a "signature" nose he puts on every one of his patients (walk around the UES and you'll know what I'm talking about). He is truly an amazing surgeon and anyone who works with him at the hospital will tell you the same.”

"Dr. Zimm made me feel as though he was treating a friend or family member."

“Working in the industry I have had the opportunity to work with many surgeons and am always very particular when choosing a physician myself, family, friends and so forth. Dr. Zimm recently performed a Blepharoplasty on me in his office. I consulted with 10 surgeons before moving forward and scheduling this surgery. Without hesitation, I have to say I could not have made a better choice in surgeons!!!! Dr. Zimm was confident and competent, he also had a wonderful bedside manner and made me feel as though he was treating a friend or family member of his own. Fantastic! Not to mention the results are amazing!!!! Completely natural, but amazing Thank you Dr. Zimm!!!!!!”

"Warm and extremely professional"

I am not one to write reviews, but Dr. Zimm deserves one. I had numerous consultations with other top rhinoplasty surgeons across the country but as soon as I had my consultation with Dr. Zimm, I immediately felt he was the right surgeon for me. I am very thankful I chose him. Heather and his entire staff have been warm and extremely professional. He is a brilliant surgeon. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, patient, artistic surgeon.

"From the moment you step into Dr. Zimm's office you feel at ease."

"I spent the bulk of my life feeling self conscious about how my ears were set on my head, and I started to look around for surgeons for my otoplasty to help correct them. After my first meeting with Dr. Zimm, I cancelled my remaining consultations with other surgeons. Dr. Zimm and his staff make you feel at ease and informed at every step of the process. From the consistent and clear communication all the way through to the fantastic results and follow up care, Dr. Zimm was without a doubt the right choice to handle my case. Thank you Dr. Zimm and team!"

FAQs

Non-surgical Procedure FAQs

Botulinum toxin or Botox in New York City works by inhibiting the ability of nerves to provide signals to the muscles causing the muscles to be temporarily paralyzed. The inability of the injected muscle to contract reduces the formation of dynamic wrinkles and frown lines. This FDA-approved treatment modality can provide patients with three to four months of results which can be dramatically lengthened by “touch-up” injections. 

Yes. Dermal fillers in New York City are composed of materials such as hyaluronic acid that are gradually broken down by the body once injected. As the filler is metabolized, the wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss will gradually reappear. This will slowly return the face to its pre-treatment appearance without significant changes. 

The majority of dermal fillers will provide six to twelve months of results; however, more stable formulations can provide up to 18 months of visible results. Regardless of the filler used, these results are temporary and the rejuvenation effects will eventually wear off.

The duration of results after a non-surgical nose job in New York City can vary depending on the product used in the procedure. Many of the injectable fillers will last between 12 to 18 months and in some cases slightly longer. 

However, this time frame depends on the individual preference of the patient. We allow the patient to determine when it is time for a repeat injection based on the gradual return of the pre-injection appearance.

Embrace RF is a revolutionary skin tightening procedure that combines two FDA-approved treatment modalities: FaceTite and Morpheus8 RF microneedling. Embrace RF utilizes radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce skin laxity, but does not stop the aging process. Because of this, the results of Embrace RF typically last for up to 5 years or more. 

Factors such as age, skin condition/elasticity, and lifestyle factors (i.e. sun exposure) all play a role in the duration of effectiveness of the Embrace RF procedure

Morpheus 8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and improve the appearance of the face. The microneedling with radiofrequency technology is able to target the deeper layers of the skin to produce a uniform appearance without damaging the dermis. The released energy stimulates collagen production which can provide smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. The Morpheus 8 procedure is effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and contouring fat deposits. 

Non-surgical cosmetic surgery involves the use of minimally invasive to non-invasive techniques to produce visible changes in the appearance of the face without the need for surgery or the use of an incision. These procedures are typically performed while the patient is awake and cause minimal discomfort to perform. They are associated with minimal to no recovery and offer patients an affordable alternative to surgery as a means to improve the aesthetic appearance of the face. 

There are many different non-surgical cosmetic procedures available for patients. The most common procedures include:

  • Injectable treatments. Botox and dermal fillers are commonly used in these procedures.
  • Skin resurfacing techniques. These include chemical peels and laser resurfacing.
  • Skin tightening techniques. EmbraceRF utilizing a combination of FaceTite and Morpheus 8 microneedling. 
  • Intense pulsed light therapy. Using Lumecca IPL patients can target pigmented and vascular lesions (age spots).

The ideal candidates for neck liposuction are men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of excess fat and fullness of the neck and jawline. If only neck lipo is performed, a candidate should not require the removal of excess skin. This procedure is ideal for non-smokers and patients in good overall physical and mental health. Candidates with fair to excellent skin elasticity and realistic expectations of the procedure will obtain the best results from neck liposuction surgery.
