ARE YOU BEACH BODY READY?
6 TREATMENTS TO MAKE YOU SHINE THIS SUMMER By AP Connolly
ummer has arrived and with warmer temperatures it often means more time at the beach or pool. If one of your desires is to improve your summer look, there’s still time. Why not consider plastic surgery to boost your confidence under the hot summer sun. Unlike the past when procedures were “little white lies,” undergoing treatments now is an everyday occurrence. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Farrokh Shafaie told us plastic surgery is no longer whispered: “It’s just viewed as a reasonable maintenance.” With offices in New York City and Summit, New Jersey, the acclaimed plastic surgeon performs many procedures which can be done relatively swiftly with perfect precision and in many cases minimally invasive. Below Dr. Shafaie shares the top five fixes to get your body (and soul) beach body ready.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
The breast augmentation along with an internal lift allows the creation of fullness by restoring lost volume caused by aging or pregnancy. During the procedure, to prevent excess scarring, Shafaie use a bi-plane technique that involves a 2-level dissection: one over the pectoral muscle, and one under. The implant is then placed under that muscle. That, in addition to augmenting the breast, will not only allow the breast to appear fuller and lifted but will also create a more balanced overall appearance. 50 | OUR CITY, YOUR LIFE | JULY/AUGUST 2020
