New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/26/2018 -- Dr. Franziska Huettner (a well-known Manhattan, New York mommy makeover plastic surgery specialist) and Director of the Plastic Surgery Group of NYC (https://www.plasticsurgerygroupnyc.com) announced today that she is now offering non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation / vaginal tightening with ThermiVA©. ThermiVa is a popular and effective non-surgical procedure and is offered as an individual treatment or as a component of Mommy Makeover plastic surgery.

ThermiVa is a non-surgical FDA approved hand-held medical device which uses radio frequency to yield results for women who want to address low libido, vaginal laxity, vaginal/vulvar dryness, mild to moderate stress incontinence, and sexual orgasmic dysfunction without the need for surgery.

Benefits of ThermiVa may include increased sexual satisfaction (decreased dryness, reduced internal laxity, increased vaginal sensitivity, more coordinated and stronger muscular contractions, and potentially the ability to achieve stronger orgasms) and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance (external labia tissues is reduced which eliminates "sag" or "camel toes").

Dr. Huettner stated, " ThermiVa is an amazing noninvasive, simple, and quick procedure to tighten loose labial and vaginal tissues, to improve vaginal dryness, and in some cases to help with stress incontinence. It's the perfect addition to any mommy makeover plastic surgery. Women deserve to look and feel there best again after giving birth. After reshaping the outside of the body, addressing e.g. breasts and tummy, this simple, non-surgical comfortable in office procedure can lead to a dramatic change in the look, but more importantly the feeling of the vaginal area."

NYC board-certified plastic surgeon Douglas Senderoff, MD, FACS announces a sharp rise in the amount of couples seeking plastic surgery procedures. According to Dr. Senderoff numerous couples have been presenting to his Park Avenue South (Manhattan, New York) plastic surgery practice desiring surgical and nonsurgical procedures on the same day so they can recover together.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/09/2015 -- NYC board-certified plastic surgeon Douglas Senderoff, MD, FACS announces a sharp rise in the amount of couples seeking plastic surgery procedures. According to Dr. Senderoff numerous couples have been presenting to his Park Avenue South (Manhattan, New York) plastic surgery practice desiring surgical and nonsurgical procedures on the same day so they can recover together.

Dr. Senderoff states, "Last week I performed a breast augmentation on a woman followed by liposuction on her husband on the same day." Dr. Senderoff adds, "This week I performed buttock augmentation on a woman followed by hair transplantation on her husband on the same day."

Dr. Senderoff noticed as men have become interested in plastic surgery they often inquire about cosmetic enhancement procedures for themselves during the consultation for their loved one.

According to Dr. Senderoff undergoing a surgical procedure with your significant other can be a bonding experience. A recent patient who underwent liposuction on the same day his wife underwent breast augmentation surgery by Dr. Senderoff remarked, "It was easy to empathize with my wife during the healing process since we shared the same concerns regarding healing and the potential results of surgery."

Although going through the transformational experience of plastic surgery as a couple can potentially strengthen a relationship there are several concerns. Dr. Senderoff warns, "after a surgical procedure it is important to have adequate resources available so that each patient can be taken care of properly. While it is a romantic notion that each partner will take care of the other it is important to have a responsible person available during the postoperative period that is not incapacitated and fully available to help in the recovery. Is also important that each member of the couple feel that the surgery was their decision and not something forced upon them."

"Having undergone surgery and the resultant healing process with my husband has brought our relationship even closer with a unique connection that other couples could not imagine", Tami T (pictured in image recovering with her husband).

Dr. Steven Reisman, Director of the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center in Manhattan has secured a medical device (BpTRU) to more accurately determine blood pressure prior to recommending treatment.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/02/2015 -- In view of the increasing evidence that lower blood pressure guidelines could save lives (New York Times, September 11, 2015) Dr. Steven Reisman, Director of the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center in Manhattan, has secured a medical device (BpTRU™) to more accurately determine blood pressure prior to recommending treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Accurate blood pressure measurements could reduce the national cardiovascular mortality rate.

It is well known that blood pressure measurement in a doctor's office is subject to error and also to "white-coat" effect. This may be due to patients having a higher level of anxiety prior and during an office visit than in a patient's normal environment. An automatic device such as BpTRU that measures blood pressure without a nurse or physician in the room can overcome these errors in measurement.

BpTRU takes six blood pressure readings and discards the first reading and then establishes an average of the remaining five readings - which are performed at two minute intervals. Since a difference of only a few millimeters of mercury can modify a physician's decision to treat a patient, accurate blood pressure determination is critical in determining treatment. In addition, this device can be used to follow blood pressure measurements in those undergoing medical therapy.

Dr. Steven Reisman, the Director of The New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center utilizes the BpTRU device in the initial evaluation of patients to screen them for high blood pressure or hypertension and to more accurately determine who needs treatment.

According to the Mayo Clinic, high blood pressure can cause:

- Heart attack or stroke
- Aneurysm
- Heart failure
- Weakened and narrowed blood vessels in your kidneys (impair these organs from functioning normally)
- Thickened, narrowed or torn blood vessels in the eyes (this can result in vision loss)
- Trouble with memory or understanding

"State of the art medical devices such as BpTRU could be lifesaving and save a significant number of lives by accurately guiding more aggressive blood pressure treatment resulting in a falling death rate from heart attack and stroke." stated Dr. Reisman.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/27/2015 -- Dr. Shawn Khodadadian, of Manhattan Gastroenterology located on New York City's Upper East Side (http://www.manhattangastroenterology.com), announced today a rise in patients seeking GI treatment and evaluation due to alcohol consumption. "Alcohol irritates your digestive system. Potential GI problems that can occur due to alcohol abuse can include liver disease, cancers of the GI tract, gastritis and heartburn (GERD), peptic ulcers, and pancreatitis. New York is a food and drink culture so this finding in my practice is not surprising".

Khodadadian elaborated, "Alcohol can definitely interfere with the function and structure of the gastrointestinal tract. Alcohol can affect the proper functioning of the muscles that separate the esophagus and stomach and can lead to heartburn. Alcohol induced damage to the lining of the esophagus and increased acid exposure can potentially increase the risk of cancer of the esophagus in the long run. If you drink alcohol within the government's guidelines (the Center for Disease Control) it is unlikely that alcohol will have a lasting effect on your digestive system. According to the CDC, "Moderate alcohol consumption is defined as having up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days".

Khodadadian stated, "The long term negative gastroenterological effects of alcohol include chronic acid reflux. Alcohol abuse can also contribute to the development of a peptic ulcer. The most common short term effect that I see at my NYC practice is heartburn. From a nutritional perspective (Khodadadian is a member of the American Board of Physician Nutritionists, American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition), excessive alcohol intake can make it difficult to digest food and absorb certain nutrients because alcohol can interfere with the activity of many enzymes that are essential for intestinal functioning and transporting nutrients from the intestine to the blood stream. "

About Dr. Shawn Khodadadian
Dr. Shawn Khodadadian, a board certified NYC gastroenterologist (GI doctor), is a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (the digestive tract from mouth through to anus, including the stomach and bowel), liver, pancreas and gall bladder. He is currently an attending physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. He is a also a clinical instructor at NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC. He is a member of the New York Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and American College of Gastroenterology.

Dr. Khodadadian has been voted by his peers as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor as well as New York Super Doctors. Dr. Khodadadian's private practice is located on NYC's Upper East Side.

Dr. Clifford Bassett, a world renowned NYC allergist announced today that you can be allergic to Valentine’s Day and notes definitive increase in patient volume the week of Valentine’s Day.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/06/2015 -- Dr. Clifford Bassett, a world renowned NYC allergist (http://www.nyc-allergist.com) announced today that you can be allergic to Valentine's Day and notes definitive increase in patient volume the week of Valentine's Day. Due to inevitable demand for his services he extends his office hours for the week, yearly, following Valentine's Day.

According to a study published in Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, allergy sufferers reported more problems with sleep and sexual activity than other groups during the week of Valentine's Day – in addition to severe allergy attacks.

Bassett stated, "Valentine's Day comes with allergy triggers including latex condoms, flowers, perfume, candy, obscure food and more. The most common allergic conditions I treat this week include food, indoor and skin allergies. A frequent offender for those with common food allergies includes: nuts and peanuts that are often found in sweets and desserts, especially on Valentine's Day, as well as shellfish."

Trips to the allergist are more prevalent during Valentine's Day week than any other day of the year. Allergy prone flowers include: daises, dahlias, asters, sunflowers, gerbera, lilac, baby's breath (single flower) and gardenia. Better flower choices for Valentine's Day include: unscented orchids, roses, bird of paradise, tulip, snapdragon, mum, petunia, freesia, peony crocus, daffodil, gladiola and iris.

"For women who don't regularly wear makeup but do so on Valentine's Day it is important to understand that many facial cosmetics, lipsticks, eye shadow, and moisturizers may contain hidden allergens and skin irritants that may create puffy eyelids or a bumpy rash on your or your partner's face", stated Bassett.

Dark chocolate and oysters are common purchases on Valentine's Day due to the myth that they are natural aphrodisiacs. However, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology shellfish is the number one food for allergies in adults. Many chocolates often contain nuts, another highly allergic food. According to WebMD the number of ER visits in the U.S. caused by food allergies each year: 30,000.

Lovemaking on Valentine's Day may inadvertently expose a person sensitive to chemicals found in spermicidal, lubricants and/or latex condoms. Many couples might utilize a latex condom as a popular contraceptive technique that can provoke a localized or generalized allergic reaction. There are tests available to confirm a hypersensitivity to latex rubber protein. There are also alternative types of condoms that do not contain latex.

"Kissing on Valentine's Day can also trigger an allergy attack," stated Bassett. Possible allergic reactions to kissing include traces of trigger foods in your partner's mouth. If your partner has eaten peanuts even four hours before kissing – and you are allergic to peanuts – you could be in serious danger. In fact, allergens can linger in a partner's saliva following ingestion, irrespective of tooth brushing or other interventions. Some common allergic outbreaks to kissing include: lip-swelling, throat-swelling, rash, hives, itching and/or wheezing.
