A plan built around the individual, not the procedure.
Long Island, New York Yee Cheng Low, MD
Dr. Low offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical care, with a particular focus on breast reduction and breast reconstruction — a natural extension of where his career began.
Head to Toe
His surgical practice spans the full body, head to toe, including breast, body, and facial procedures, as well as revision surgery for patients seeking to correct or refine results from a previous operation.
Alongside surgery, he offers non-surgical options such as injectables, giving patients a range of paths toward their goals, whether they’re looking for a subtle refresh or a more significant transformation. In every case, the approach is the same: a plan built around the individual, not the procedure.
Breast
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using implants or, in some cases, fat transfer. Dr. Low takes the time to understand your body, goals, and lifestyle before recommending the implant type, size, and placement that will look and feel most natural on you — whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change. As with every procedure at YCL Plastic Surgery, there’s no template: your augmentation is planned entirely around you.
ExploreBreast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores a firmer, more youthful contour to breasts that have lost shape or volume due to pregnancy, weight change, or the natural effects of time. By repositioning breast tissue and removing excess skin, Dr. Low lifts and reshapes the breast while preserving a natural look and feel — often combined with augmentation for added fullness, if desired. Because every body ages and changes differently, your lift is planned entirely around your anatomy and goals, never a one-size-fits-all approach.
ExploreBreast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to relieve the back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and restricted activity that often come with disproportionately large breasts — while reshaping the breast into a lighter, more proportionate contour. Dr. Low tailors the technique, incision pattern, and final size to each patient’s body and goals, so the result feels balanced and natural rather than following a standard formula. For many patients, breast reduction is as much about relief as it is about reshaping, and every plan is built entirely around you.
ExploreAugmentation Mastopexy
Augmentation mastopexy combines a breast lift with implant placement — raising the breast into position while restoring the upper-pole fullness that a lift alone cannot provide.
ExploreBreast Asymmetry Correction
Almost every woman has some degree of breast asymmetry. For most it is minor and unremarkable. For some it is significant enough to affect bra fit, clothing choice, and confidence — and it is entirely correctable.
ExploreBreast Fat Grafting
Breast fat grafting transfers fat from one part of the body — most often the abdomen, flanks, or thighs — to the breast, adding subtle volume and softening contour without an implant.
ExploreImplant Removal & Explantation
Patients choose to have breast implants removed for many reasons: rupture, capsular contracture, discomfort, changing preferences, a wish to return to a natural silhouette, or concerns about long-term implant health.
ExploreRevision Breast Surgery
Not every breast surgery delivers what was intended. Implants can shift or harden, scars can heal poorly, asymmetry can persist or develop, and results that looked right initially can change over a decade.
ExploreFace & Ear
Facial rejuvenation restores a more refreshed, youthful appearance to the face and neck by addressing sagging skin, volume loss, and loss of definition that come with time. Depending on your anatomy and goals, this may include a facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or fat grafting — performed alone or in combination for a cohesive, natural result. Dr. Low’s approach is never about looking “done” or pulled tight; it’s about looking like a well-rested, more balanced version of yourself. Because every face ages differently, your treatment plan is built entirely around your unique anatomy and goals, not a one-size-fits-all technique.
Face & Neck Lift
A face and neck lift addresses the structural changes of facial aging: descent of the mid-face, deepening folds around the mouth, loss of jawline definition, and laxity in the neck.
ExploreBlepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Eyelid surgery corrects the heaviness, hooding, and puffiness that make the eyes look tired regardless of how much sleep you’ve had. It is among the highest-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery and among the least disruptive to recover from.
ExploreRhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve its size, shape, or proportion in relation to the rest of the face, and can also correct functional issues like a deviated septum that affect breathing. Every nose — and every face — is different, so Dr. Low draws on his deep understanding of anatomy to design a result that looks natural and in harmony with your features, never as though it belongs on someone else’s face. Whether your goal is a subtle refinement or a more noticeable change, your rhinoplasty is planned entirely around your unique anatomy and goals, not a standard template.
ExploreFacial Fat Grafting
Much of what reads as facial aging is volume loss rather than sagging. The deep fat pads of the mid-face, temples, and around the eyes deflate over time, hollowing the face and creating shadows that make you look tired and older.
ExploreOtoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Otoplasty reshapes, repositions, or resizes the ears to improve facial harmony. It most often corrects prominent or protruding ears, but also addresses asymmetry, overly large ears (macrotia), and irregularities including some congenital conditions.
ExploreBody
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles — often the result of pregnancy, significant weight change, or the natural effects of aging — for a firmer, flatter, more contoured midsection. Because every body carries weight and laxity differently, Dr. Low tailors the extent of the procedure, incision, and muscle repair to your unique anatomy and goals, so the result looks like the best version of your own body, not a standard shape.
ExploreLiposuction & Body Contouring
Liposuction removes stubborn, diet- and exercise-resistant fat to refine and reshape the body’s natural contours. It can be performed on the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and chin/neck, often combined with other procedures for a fully sculpted result. Using precise, anatomy-driven technique, Dr. Low aims to create smooth, natural-looking contours while minimizing downtime and scarring.
ExploreMommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines breast and abdominal procedures — and often liposuction — into one operation, addressing the specific changes pregnancy and breastfeeding produce.
ExploreArm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Brachioplasty removes excess, sagging skin and fat from the upper arms to create a more toned, contoured appearance — a common concern after significant weight loss or as part of the natural aging process, when skin loses elasticity and “wing”-like laxity develops between the elbow and underarm. The procedure typically involves an incision along the inner or back of the arm, with length and technique tailored to the amount of excess skin present, ranging from a limited scar for milder cases to a full-length incision for more significant correction.
ExploreThighplasty (Thigh Lift)
Thighplasty removes excess skin and tightens tissue in the inner and/or outer thighs, addressing laxity that often results from major weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. Depending on the pattern and severity of excess skin, techniques range from a limited incision in the groin crease to a longer incision extending down the inner thigh, with the goal of creating smoother, better-proportioned contours that move comfortably and fit clothing well.
ExploreBelt Lipectomy (Circumferential Body Lift)
A belt lipectomy removes excess skin and fat around the entire circumference of the lower torso — abdomen, flanks, and lower back — in a single procedure, often combined with muscle tightening for a smoother, more contoured midsection. It’s most commonly sought by patients who have experienced significant weight loss (whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes) and are left with loose, sagging skin that diet and exercise can’t resolve, though it can also address skin laxity from aging or pregnancy.
ExploreUpper Body Lift
An upper body lift addresses excess, sagging skin across the upper torso — commonly the back, bra line, and sides — that often remains after significant weight loss or as a result of aging and skin laxity. By removing this excess skin and tightening the underlying tissue, the procedure creates a smoother, more contoured silhouette and can eliminate the rolls or folds that make clothing fit poorly and cause skin irritation. This procedure is often performed alongside or as part of a broader body contouring plan following major weight loss, and may be combined with a breast lift, arm lift, or belt lipectomy depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals. Dr. Low evaluates each patient’s skin quality, prior weight loss history, and overall goals to determine the right sequence and combination of procedures for a natural, balanced result.
ExploreBrazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A BBL uses fat transfer to enhance the shape, volume, and projection of the buttocks. Fat is first removed via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, waist, or thighs — contouring those areas in the process — then purified and reinjected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more balanced silhouette. Because it uses your own fat rather than implants, results tend to look and feel natural. Every body contouring plan is customized to your goals, body type, and the amount of fat available for transfer, with safety as a top priority throughout the process.
ExploreGynecomastia & Chest Masculinisation
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, which can occur due to hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, or weight fluctuations. It’s a common condition that can affect confidence and comfort in everyday life. Surgical correction typically involves liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue, direct excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both — depending on the composition and severity of the enlargement, as well as skin elasticity. Dr. Low draws on his extensive background in breast surgery and precise understanding of chest anatomy to create natural, masculine contours with minimal scarring. Each treatment plan is customized to the individual, with the goal of restoring a flatter, firmer chest and helping patients feel confident in their bodies again.
ExploreGender-Affirming & Intimate
Top Surgery
Top surgery is a gender-affirming, chest-contouring procedure that helps patients achieve a chest that aligns with their gender identity. For transmasculine and nonbinary patients, this typically involves careful removal of breast tissue using techniques such as double incision, periareolar, or keyhole approaches — selected based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and desired outcome. For transfeminine patients, top surgery refers to breast augmentation to create a fuller, more feminine chest contour. Dr. Low brings a foundation in breast surgery and a deep understanding of anatomy to every top surgery consultation, with an emphasis on precision, safety, and a compassionate, individualized approach. Every patient’s goals are different, and your procedure plan is built around your body and what matters most to you.
ExploreLabiaplasty
Labiaplasty reduces or reshapes the labia minora (and, less commonly, the labia majora) to address discomfort, irritation, or self-consciousness caused by excess or asymmetric tissue. Patients often seek this procedure for both functional relief — reducing chafing or discomfort during exercise, intimacy, or while wearing certain clothing — and aesthetic reasons. Common techniques include the trim method and the wedge method, chosen based on individual anatomy and desired outcome. Dr. Low approaches labiaplasty with the same anatomical precision and discretion he brings to all aesthetic procedures, prioritizing patient comfort, natural-looking results, and a straightforward, judgment-free consultation process.
ExploreNon-Surgical
Dr. Low offers a range of injectable and skin rejuvenation treatments to complement surgical procedures or stand alone as a way to refresh and maintain your appearance, with treatment plans customized to your skin type, goals, and downtime preferences.
Neuromodulators (Botox)
Neuromodulators temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften fine lines and dynamic wrinkles — the lines that appear with movement and expression, before they’ve had time to etch into resting skin.
ExploreDermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours using injectable gels — most commonly hyaluronic acid-based — placed to address specific areas of volume loss or to refine shape.
ExploreChemical Peels & Laser Treatments
Chemical peels and laser treatments address skin tone, texture, and pigmentation — concerns that come from the skin’s surface quality rather than from volume loss or structural descent, and that respond well to non-surgical treatment.
