Posted on June 11, 2018 by Dr Konstantin

A glass of wine with dinner or a cocktail out on the town—alcohol is a common element when we spend time with family and friends. But drinking to calm your nerves before surgery or to take the edge off afterward? Not a good idea—which is why I tell my facial plastic surgery patients in NYC that it’s better to wait. To understand why abstaining from alcohol both before and after surgery is important, it’s vital to understand how it affects the body.

“Dreams That Will Never End” Art Exhibition at Konstantin Gallery

Posted on May 23, 2018 by Dr Konstantin

When a doctor is board-certified in his or her field, it’s considered a benchmark of excellence … Read More

Countering the Symptoms of Aging With Eyelid Surgery

Posted on May 7, 2018 by Dr Konstantin

The loss of skin elasticity is one symptom of aging that many of us are all too familiar with. As we grow older, our bodies produce fewer of the ingredients that keep skin resilient and tight, resulting in sagging. Natural chemical changes in the skin, coupled with the effects of gravity, often make wrinkles and drooping skin much more noticeable. These symptoms can affect the entire face, including the upper and lower eyelids.

Blepharoplasty, … Read More
