About
Dr. Karan Mehta, MD, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in New York, New York. He specializes in cosmetic procedures for the breast, body, and face. Dr. Mehta emphasizes establishing realistic patient expectations through honest conversations from the initial consultation. His goal is for patients to feel confident before their procedure, and he maintains relationships with them, frequently seeing patients during their healing period.
He performs scarless lower eyelid surgery, accessing and transposing fat from inside the eyelid to blend the tear trough. For breast reduction, every procedure includes a breast lift, reshaping and repositioning the breast higher on the chest wall and the nipple to a natural location. This approach aims to provide a more youthful and lifted breast shape, alongside size reduction and physical relief. Dr. Mehta believes procedures like tummy tucks and breast reductions are not just about aesthetics, but about restoring confidence and helping patients feel comfortable in their own skin.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Karan Mehta
Sourced directly from Dr. Karan Mehta's social posts and replies.
Does Dr. Mehta's office assist with insurance approval for procedures?
Yes, Dr. Mehta's office assists patients in navigating the insurance approval process for procedures.
What are common physical indications for breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is indicated for patients struggling with chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain due to overly large breasts.
How can I inquire about insurance coverage for a procedure?
Patients can contact the practice directly to inquire about insurance coverage for their specific procedure.
Is eyelid surgery only for older patients?
No, eyelid surgery is not exclusively for older patients.
What is Dr. Mehta's approach to lower eyelid surgery?
Dr. Mehta performs scarless lower eyelid surgery by accessing fat entirely from the inside of the eyelid. He preserves and transposes fat to better blend the crease between the eyelid and cheek, also known as the tear trough.
Can waist trainers fix muscle separation (diastasis recti) after pregnancy, and what is the solution?
No, waist trainers, garments, and tightening belts cannot fix muscle separation after pregnancy. True muscle separation needs to be surgically repaired, which a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can provide by tightening and permanently restoring abdominal muscles.
What does a breast reduction procedure involve?
Every breast reduction performed by Dr. Mehta includes a breast lift. The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue and skin, then reshaping and repositioning the remaining breast higher on the chest wall, and repositioning the nipple to a more natural location. Patients will achieve a more youthful and lifted breast shape, even if their primary goal is size reduction.
What is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and who is an ideal candidate?
A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles for a firmer, smoother midsection. It can address changes after weight loss or pregnancy, such as stretch marks, scars, or muscle separation. Different techniques (mini, extended, or standard) are available depending on the correction needed. Ideal candidates are in good health, at a stable weight, and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Mehta views a tummy tuck as not just about aesthetics, but about restoring confidence and redefining the midsection.
Can I have children after a tummy tuck, and when is the best time to get one?
While it is possible to have more children after a tummy tuck, it’s recommended to undergo the procedure once you have completed your family. Pregnancy can reverse the results of a tummy tuck by stretching the abdominal muscles and skin again.
What are the comprehensive benefits of breast reduction, beyond physical relief?
Breast reduction offers significant benefits beyond just relieving physical discomfort. It can be truly life-changing, improving confidence and self-esteem, and enabling patients to feel comfortable in their own skin, wear desired clothes, and no longer feel the need to hide an important part of who they are. Dr. Mehta emphasizes that symptoms like chronic back pain, irritation, and rashes, often associated with large breasts, typically will not resolve until the underlying problem of breast size is actually treated.
What symptoms may qualify a breast reduction for insurance coverage?
A breast reduction procedure may be considered medically necessary when breast size causes ongoing discomfort or medical concerns, determined based on documented symptoms and a clinical evaluation. Patients may qualify for insurance coverage if they experience: chronic neck, shoulder, or upper back pain; pain that interferes with daily activities or exercise; deep bra strap grooving causing skin or nerve irritation; recurrent rashes, infections, or skin breakdown beneath the breasts; postural strain or spinal discomfort related to breast weight; or numbness or tingling in the arms, shoulders, or hands.
