QUESTIONS ANSWERED
35, 5’8 and 145 lbs. Is Emsculpt Neo the right option to treat flanks? (Photo)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a great non-surgical, non-invasive treatment to target areas of stubborn fat. It uses cryotherapy to freeze fat cells in the treatment area resulting in fat cell death and natural elimination from the body over a period of 3 months. The flanks are one of the 9 FDA approved treatment areas and can result in a 20-25% tissue reduction per session, where most patients will require 2-3. Consecutive treatments result in a further 20-25% fat reduction of the remaining tissue. During our consultations we map out the anatomy and create a custom treatment plan to achieve your desired goals. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein, facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.

DAO Botox Pros and Cons - will this help the downturn in my lips? (Photos)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Botox to the DAO muscle helps to minimize the downward pull on the corners of the mouth giving a subtle lifting effect. When placed precisely by an experienced provider smile asymmetry would be rare and jowling is typically not associated with DAO treatment. Temporary smile asymmetry can occur if the Botox is inadvertently injected or diffuses into the nearby DLI muscle. Again this would be a very rare occurrence when treated by a skilled injector. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein, facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.

Significant weight loss has caused a gaunt looking face. What fillers would work best?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Firstly, congratulations on your weight loss accomplishments! You are not alone and this is a common occurrence following treatment with GLP-1 medications. As we lose weight, so does our face lose volume and this can result in the gaunt appearance you describe. At our practice, we love using biostimulators such as Sculptra to address volume loss and to restore a more youthful appearance. While HA fillers can provide immediately gratifying results, oftentimes large amounts of product would need to be utilized following significant weight loss and a series of Sculptra can be more cost effective to address the full face. Sculptra is a biostimulant which is a regenerative treatment that stimulates the body's own natural collagen production in response to targeted injections. Hope this helps!

Which procedure is more beneficial long term - fillers, laser, or Botox?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. This is actually a great conversation that routinely takes place during consultations. Do you have any specific concerns or is this more about preventative anti aging? Depending on your age and goals, a tailored treatment plan would be created that aligns with your budget. All of these treatments would be beneficial in the long term as they address different aspects: skin quality, muscle movement resulting in fine lines & wrinkles, as well as restoring volume loss and providing structural support. For a more personalized approach and recommendations feel free to schedule a consultation! Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y.

Would a lip lift help with horizontal and vertical lip lines?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Lip lift candidacy would best be addressed in person during a surgical consultation. Most commonly, this is performed to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, providing a more youthful appearance and fuller upper lip. While this procedure may slightly improve the appearance of lines above the lip by stretching out the skin, the quality of the skin and muscle movement would not change. CO2 lasers are excellent for skin resurfacing resulting in collagen stimulation and improvement in overall skin quality. Vertical lip lines typically result from repeated expression over time and can be minimized with neuromodulators such as Botox by temporarily relaxing the muscle responsible for pursing the lips. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.

Treatment/procedure for nasal flair when smiling - Can Botox be used for this?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. At our practice we routinely utilize neuromodulators such as Botox to help diminish nasal flaring for the appropriate candidate. When injected into specific muscles around the nose, this treatment can reduce nostril flaring, especially during facial expressions. Hope this helps!

Is the goal of Dysport to completely paralyze treated muscles or just soften muscle movement?
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Neuromodulator treatment (Botox, Dysport etc.) is individualized based on patient specific anatomy while taking into consideration personal preference when it comes to maintaining some flexibility vs having no residual movement in the targeted treatment area. Your injector can assess your muscle strength and administer an appropriate dose according to your goals. Keep in mind that dose does equal duration so a lower, more conservative dose would last shorter. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein, facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.

Dysport - Is this Spock Brow? (photo)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to naturally have one brow that is more dynamic or expressive than the other. To balance this, the forehead can be treated asymmetrically where the injection point/s above the hyperdynamic brow is slightly lower on the forehead than the other/less expressive brow to account for the increased motion. Hope this helps! Esther Litenatsky AGACNP-BC on behalf of Dr. Ran Y. Rubinstein, facial plastic surgeon in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.

Botox, filler, or lift - how can I improve my lips? (Photos)
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Botox and filler are great noninvasive ways that can improve the appearance of the upper lip when smiling. Botox injected into the LLSAN muscle will relax the upward pull on the upper lip when smiling to minimize gum show. You mentioned you have tried the lip flip but that caused too much coverage of the upper teeth. You can also try the lip flip at a lower dose to minimize that effect. Dermal filler provides hydration and volume to the lip and in combination with Botox for muscle relaxation can attribute to a fuller lip when smiling. Hope this helps!

Is it necessary to take an antibiotic right after Fraxel to prevent infection? It seems there may be varying opinions.
Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)Hello and thank you for your question. Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative fractional laser used for skin resurfacing. It is a dual wavelength laser and can treat various skin concerns. Because this laser is non-ablative, in our practice we do not typically prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis. Fraxel re:pair on the other hand is an ablative laser, meaning that it removes all layers of the skin within each of the tiny fractions of skin that are treated. This is a more aggressive laser which provides even better results. In our practice we do prescribe a short term course of prophylactic antibiotics for this treatment as the skin barrier is disrupted for a short time. Hope this helps!

The Best of the Best
All staff are awesome, as well as the treatments and customer service I’ve received over the years. Can’t say enough good things about them all! I’ve been receiving skin care from Dr.Rubinstein and his team for over a dozen years now, and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to look as youthful on the outside as you feel on the inside!

Natural Results and Excellent Care
Dr. Rubinstein has made me look better than I did 15 years ago. The results look natural. Not only has he taken years off of my face, but has also balanced my features and improved my facial symmetry. He worked with me to address my needs within my budget and consistently provides professional, and caring treatment. I would not go to anyone else

It's My Pleasure To Write This Review
Superlative experience as usual. Brenna, Deana and Mary welcomed me as usual with their kind words and friendly faces. I had several questions and they answered them without hesitation. Dr. Rubinstein was professional as usual and like his staff, he was concerned about me as a person. H performed the Botox procedure gently and I know the results will be better than expected. He was cheerful, as usual. 5 plus stars. State of the art office and Ran Rubinstein is an Artist.

Truly Aging Like a Fine Wine with Dr Rubinstein
Dr. Rubinstein is by far the best plastic surgeon in the tri-state area. I have done a ton of research and had consultations with a few doctors. As soon as I walked into this office in Montvale, New Jersey, I knew I was in the right spot. I’m not going to let just any doctor touch my face… Dr. Rubinstein is the best choice for any facial procedure that you need. He was the only doctor that I met who did not push unnecessary treatments. He is the only doctor that wanted to enhance my natural look. I have been going to him for over two years now, and I look and feel amazing. I’m 55 years old. And at this stage of my life, things can get very difficult. As a menopausal woman, I was losing a lot of my confidence and self esteem. After one visit to Dr. Rubinstein‘s office, I felt like a new woman. For my first visit , he asked me to bring in a photo of myself from 10 years ago. I was wondering why… Until I saw the incredible results !. He made me look like I did at age 40, 15 years younger !( not 10!!) he did so with a very natural touch. I suddenly felt much better about myself. I developed a new zest for life. It helped me and my marriage. I realize I was not a happy person to be around because I didn’t feel good about myself before I started going to Dr Rubinstein. I have been going three times a year to keep up with my Botox and fillers and I couldn’t be happier. So many people stop me at the mall, supermarket, or at work and ask me to tell them what I do to look so good! I always tell them Dr. Rubinstein l!!!! He saved me from the fear of getting old. I’m enjoying getting older and looking good while doing so.

Master Surgeon and Injector
I love Dr. Rubinstein and his entire staff. He has made me age in reverse and then stay there for 13 years because he is the most talented surgeon and injector. He performed my upper blepharoplasty, mini neck lift, and then Botox, fillers and sculptra on a regular schedule plus skincare. Thank you for keeping me beautiful! Love both of his locations but Montvale is closer to home now, very convenient. I trust nobody else to touch my face.

Extraordinary experience - everyone at the office was super welcoming
Everyone at the office was super welcoming and Dr.Rubinstein seemed to be an expert on his craft, which is always a good sign when finding the right surgeon for you. I felt extremely comfortable in letting him preform my rhinoplasty.

I have been more than thrilled with the work he has done for me
I am thrilled to have found Dr. Rubinstein. He is everything you want in a doctor -- intelligent, sensitive, understanding, and, of course, phenomenally skilled at what he does. He has utmost respect for his patients and is completely honest about what to expect from the results of any procedure. I have been more than thrilled with the work he has done for me. If you are in the Hudson Valley -- or even if you're not -- his practice is the one to see.
