Manalapan, New Jersey is a great place to live if you need access to New York but want a bit of elbow room and green space in your daily life. While the cost of living in Manalapan can be high, the quality of life is also quite high and the amenities are remarkable.
It’s About Ownership
The majority of the residents of Manalapan own their homes. They’re invested in their community and the roots run deep. Spend a day shopping at one of the remarkable farmer’s markets, or visit one of the many historic homes in the area. There’s also the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County for students of history, and NYC is just a train ride away.
A Cosmopolitan Edge
Manalapan has multiple benefits; you can own a home with some surrounding property, enjoy some private space, and still have access to a major world city. If you need to spend time in NYC, however, you know that image and confidence are key to success in the city. Should you find that your confidence is fading as time passes, it may be time to consider a cosmetic update.
Just a Short Drive
Expert plastic surgeons Drs. Mark and Robert Glasgold of the Glasgold Group in Princeton, New Jersey offer a range of cosmetic procedures at their office, which is just a short drive from Manalapan. Their in-depth knowledge of aesthetics and incredible skills in performing cosmetic procedures can give you more confidence in your appearance and are well worth the trip.
You Have Many Options
The Glasgold Group offers in a wide variety of cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery options, including:
Before making your final decision on which procedure is right for you, you will attend a consultation with one of our physicians to discuss your aesthetic concerns and to learn more about your options.
Depending on your personal goals, you may be very happy with one of the practice’s non-surgical options alone. Botox and chemical peels do not require anesthetic, though you may be given a numbing agent before the treatment for your comfort.
It’s About Confidence
Deciding on the best procedure (or procedures!) for your goals will take some thought. What bothers you about your appearance? Has your nose always looked wrong to you, or do you find that you’re looking tired all the time? Is it just time to brighten your skin overall before winter hits, or do you want to ease your wrinkles? Once you determine your biggest concerns, you can set your overall cosmetic goals and decide on a treatment plan with the help of our experienced plastic surgeons.
Surgical Vs. Non-Surgical
If you’re not ready for or comfortable with the idea of surgery, there are still steps you can take to be more confident in your appearance. To reduce the look of dull skin, a chemical peel may fit the bill. Deeper peels require more recovery time, but light or mild peels can be done once a month if you like.
Peels reduce the look of fine lines and can, over time, reduce superficial scarring. Depending on the depth of your peel needs, you can expect to spend $200 on a light peel or up to $3,000 for a deeper treatment. Anesthesia may be required for a deeper peel.
A Botox treatment will limit the movement of muscles under the dermis on skin that has begun to display dynamic wrinkles. Once the muscles are relaxed, the grooves and wrinkles that are caused by repetitive facial movements, such as those that develop on the forehead, will disappear or be greatly diminished within a week or two. Botox will need to be re-injected approximately every four months for ongoing results. Botox is purchased by the area, and each treatment area will cost approximately $400.
Permanent Changes
Eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and facelifts offer long-lasting or permanent changes to your appearance. Each will require anesthetic and a recovery period, though all can be performed as outpatient services. You’ll need a driver and someone at your Manalapan home to monitor you for at least 24 hours following the procedure.
In preparation for a surgical change, the physicians at the Glasgold Group will consult with you on your reasons for wanting the procedure of your choice. Because Dr. Mark and Dr. Robert Glasgold want you to be extremely happy with the results, their goal is not to make radical changes, but rather to keep things looking natural and to enhance your unique beauty.
If your nose is of a size or shape to detract from the rest of your face, they will work with you to alter it in such a way as to make it unobtrusive. Rhinoplasty, or nose jobs, generally cost around $12,000-15,000, plus anesthesia and facility fees.
If your eyelids or under-eye bags droop to the point that you appear tired, unhappy, or just plain bored, they will remove skin and fat until your eyes are bright as your outlook and spirit. Blepharoplasty pricing is based on complexity and can run as much as $6,400. You will discuss your specific needs with your physician.
If your facial skin has aged to the point that jowls and sagging skin have left you appearing older than you feel, the surgeons can make surgical changes to dramatically turn back the clock. A facelift in the NYC region shouldn’t be more than $22,000.
Prepare for Self-Care
No matter which procedure you choose, you will need to make plans to care for yourself afterward. While Botox requires little to no recovery time, a chemical peel will leave you with tender skin and sun sensitivity, so prepare for some time at home.
All three surgical procedures will cause some swelling and discomfort, and you will need to follow all aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of infection. Again, you’ll need to plan for some time at home to minimize potential complications. Block out some time for yourself as you recover from any procedure, get plenty of rest, hydrate, and eat well.
Protect your skin further by staying away from cigarette smoke. The toxin load from cigarette and cigar smoke is hard on your skin as well as the rest of your body. It can also interfere with your healing process.
Building a great life in Manalapan, NJ, is about caring for yourself as well as for others. If you have been avoiding an honest bit of self-evaluation about how you feel when you look in the mirror, now might be the time to choose some self-care. You deserve to be confident in your appearance! Contact the Glasgold Group for a consultation. Call 732-846-6540 today!
