Every Surgery We Cover — Prices, Recovery & Guides

Lifts the lower two-thirds of the face, jawline, jowls and neck by repositioning the underlying SMAS layer. 2026 trends favor deep-plane and composite techniques for longer-lasting, natural results (8–12+ years), and it was the 4th most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the US in 2024 (ASPS: ~79,058 procedures).

Removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to refresh the eyes and, in functional cases, improve peripheral vision blocked by heavy lids. One of the most common facial procedures nationwide; upper-lid work is the part insurers sometimes cover (~120,755 US procedures in 2024).

Elevates a sagging brow, smooths forehead creases and softens heavy upper lids. Endoscopic brow lift (tiny incisions inside the hairline) is the 2026 default; coronal approaches are reserved for specific cases. Often combined with blepharoplasty or facelift for a full upper-face rejuvenation.

Adds volume and definition to the lips with hyaluronic-acid fillers (6–18 months, reversible) or a surgical lip lift for a permanent upper-lip length change. HA fillers remain the 2026 go-to; lip lift is chosen when balming into the nose is the real concern.

A staged set of procedures (hairline, brow and forehead contouring, rhinoplasty, jaw and chin reshaping, tracheal shave) that feminize the facial skeleton. Full-package pricing runs $25k–$60k+; New York and New Jersey are among the states where insurers are most likely to cover FFS.

Surgical excision of liquid silicone or siliconeomas from lips injected by unqualified practitioners — increasingly common corrective work in NY/NJ. Often staged with tissue rearrangements to preserve lip shape and function, and can be partially covered when symptoms are documented.

Reshapes the nose for beauty and/or function — open vs closed technique, dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, septoplasty for airflow. Rhinoplasty was the 8th most common US cosmetic surgical procedure in 2024 (ASPS: ~48,423). A permanently booked "specialist surgery" that rewards surgeon experience above price.

Culture- and skin-aware nose reshaping for African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Asian patients — refinement that preserves identity. Thicker nasal skin, weaker cartilage and wider bases require grafting (septal, ear, rib) and longer swelling resolution; a specialization worth seeking out in a diverse NY/NJ market.

Secondary nose surgery to correct breathing or cosmetic problems from a prior rhinoplasty. Harder than primary: scar tissue, absent cartilage and over-resected structures mean grafts are nearly always needed and waiting at least 12 months from the first surgery is mandatory. Costs run $9k–$25k+ in NY/NJ.

A non-surgical "nose job" using HA filler to smooth a dorsal hump, lift a tip or balance asymmetry — no surgery, no downtime, reversible with hyaluronidase. Results last 6–18 months and it cannot fix functional issues. Vascular-occlusion risk makes injector skill the whole game.

Rebuilds nasal tissue after skin-cancer (Mohs) removal, trauma or disease. Paramedian forehead-flap and ear-cartilage-graft techniques restore a natural nose over 2–3 staged procedures. This is nearly always classified as medically necessary — insurance typically covers it, unlike cosmetic rhinoplasty.

The most popular cosmetic surgery in America — 306,196 US procedures in 2024 — using silicone or saline implants to add volume. Round vs teardrop, over vs under the muscle, inframammary vs periareolar incision all matter to the result. Average all-in pricing lands near $6,000–$9,000 in NY/NJ.

Raises and firms drooping breasts and repositions the nipple-areola complex. Incision pattern is chosen by ptosis grade — crescent, donut, lollipop or anchor. Frequently combined with augmentation when the patient also lost volume. 153,616 US procedures in 2024.

Removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to relieve neck, back and shoulder pain and shoulder-grooving from heavy breasts. This is the breast procedure insurers most often cover — plans typically require 500+ grams per breast planned for removal. 76,734 US procedures in 2024.

Rebuilds the breast after mastectomy using implants (expander then implant, or direct-to-implant) or the patient's own tissue (DIEP, TRAM, latissimus, PAP flaps). Under the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA), reconstruction — including the opposite-breast symmetry surgery, nipple reconstruction and 3D tattooing — is legally guaranteed coverage.

Removal ("explant") of breast implants with or without capsulectomy (removal of the scar capsule) or en bloc removal, plus optional implant exchange or a simultaneous lift. Increasingly chosen by patients with implant-related symptoms and by those who simply want their natural profile back.

Removes localized fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back and more using tumescent, VASER (ultrasound), SmartLipo (laser) or power-assisted cannulas. The most common cosmetic surgical procedure in the US (349,728 in 2024) — it sculpts, it doesn't remove weight.

Removes loose skin and fat and tightens the separated abdominal muscles (diastasis) after pregnancy or major weight loss. Mini, full and extended variants; full abdominoplasty with muscle repair was the 3rd most common US cosmetic surgery in 2024 (171,064 procedures).

A personalized combination of breast augmentation and/or lift with tummy tuck and liposuction, done in one operation to restore the post-baby body. Pricing reflects the parts; combining procedures typically saves on facility and anesthesia fees versus staged surgeries.

Removes excess sagging skin ("bat wings") from the inner upper arms — the classic post-weight-loss and post-aging complaint. Scar runs along the inner arm and is the trade-off patients must accept. Often paired with liposuction; drains and compression sleeves are part of the recovery.

Removes sagging thigh skin — inner, outer or circumferential — after major weight loss or aging. Scar placement rides the groin crease, inner thigh or a vertical line depending on technique. Recovery in a legs-elevated position with drains and garments for weeks.

Labiaplasty (trim or wedge techniques) reduces elongated or asymmetrical labia minora; vaginoplasty tightens the vaginal canal, commonly after childbirth. Both are comfort- and confidence-driven with short procedures and weeks of mandated pelvic rest.

Liposuctions fat from the abdomen, flanks or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks for a fuller shape. Safety is the story of 2026: board-certified surgeons, USP-approved fat-handling, and strict no-injection-into-muscle protocols are what separate safe BBL from the highest-risk cosmetic surgery in America.

Removes excess male breast gland and fat through liposuction plus direct glandular excision — restoring a flat chest contour. Distinguishing true gynecomastia from lipomastia (fat-only) drives the technique. ~26,430 US procedures in 2024; medical breast-margin codes sometimes allow insurance coverage.

Targets stubborn male fat pockets — love handles, abdomen, chest — with VASER or traditional liposuction, using denser male tissue and gender-specific contouring. Men increasingly choose "awake" (local-only) liposuction to halve cost and downtime.

Transfers a man's own fat to fill hollow temples, cheeks, tear troughs or add jawline projection — restoring youthful masculine volume without implants. Fat survival reaches a stable plateau after roughly 3–6 months, and little is reabsorbed beyond that.

Non-surgical brow, forehead, glabella and eye-area treatments with Botox/Dysport/Xeomin, chemical peels, laser resurfacing and microneedling — dosed for men's thicker skin and stronger muscles for natural results. The fastest-growing entry point into aesthetics for men.

The world's most popular aesthetic treatment: neuromodulators relax forehead, frown and crow's-foot muscles to soften wrinkles for 3–6 months. Per-area pricing runs $300–$600 in NY/NJ; three-area plans $600–$1,200. Brand choice (Botox vs Dysport vs Xeomin) matters mostly through per-unit dosing.

Hyaluronic-acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) restore volume to lips, cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds and tear troughs. Results are immediate, last 6–24 months by product and area, and are reversible with hyaluronidase. Per-syringe prices run $600–$1,600+ across NY/NJ.

Your own fat, harvested from abdomen, thighs or flanks, is injected into the face to restore lost volume. Up to 30–50% is reabsorbed as the fat re-vascularizes over months; the survivor is permanent. The natural alternative to synthetic fillers — but a surgical procedure.

CO2, erbium and fractional (Fraxel-style) lasers treat wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and texture. Non-ablative heals in days; ablative CO2 resurfaces with 7–14 days of peeling and redness but dramatic results. Full-face ablative treatments run $1,500–$4,000+ in NY/NJ.

Lasers with the right wavelength for your skin type destroy hair follicles in anagen growth. A full course is 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart (plus yearly maintenance); full-course totals for larger areas run $1,000–$3,000 in NY/NJ. Not for light-grey hair.

Glycolic, salicylic, TCA and phenol peels exfoliate by depth to even tone, soften scars and rebuild collagen. Superficial peels flake for days; TCA crusts and browns for up to a week; deep phenol peels need 1–2 weeks plus months of pink healing. A series (3–6) is typical.

Collagen induction therapy: fine needles create micro-channels that trigger collagen remodeling, treating fine lines, acne scars, pores and texture. Add-ons like PRP or RF substantially boost cost and results. A course of 3–4 sessions produces the collagen build patients actually see.
