Advanced Plastic Surgery of North Shore
Dr. Tanovic provides a range of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures tailored to each patient’s anatomy, concerns, and goals. At Advanced Plastic Surgery of North Shore, each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, individual concerns, and aesthetic goals.
Breast Plastic Surgery Procedures
Dr. Mahira Tanovic provides personalized breast plastic surgery in New York, helping patients address concerns related to breast shape, volume, symmetry, comfort, and reconstruction. Her experience includes breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, implant revision, asymmetry correction, male breast reduction, and nipple and areola surgery. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, aesthetic or reconstructive goals, and individual health considerations, with a strong emphasis on safety and realistic outcomes.
Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures
Facial plastic surgery procedures can refresh features, improve balance, and enhance definition without changing the qualities that make each patient recognizable. Treatment options include facelift, blepharoplasty, browlift, ear pinning, neck lift, chin/cheek implants, facial liposuction, lip augmentation, and nose surgery. Working with a plastic surgeon in New York allows the procedure to be planned around facial anatomy, expression, and long-term harmony. Each facial procedure is planned around the patient’s anatomy, facial proportions, expression, and desired degree of change. Dr. Tanovic also reviews recovery, risks, and realistic outcomes before surgery. During consultation, patients can explore appropriate facial procedures, recovery expectations, and techniques intended to preserve expression, balance, and personal identity.
Body Plastic Surgery Procedures
Body contouring procedures reshape areas affected by pregnancy, aging, weight changes, genetics, or skin laxity when diet and exercise alone cannot achieve the desired improvement. Options include liposuction, tummy tuck, fat grafting, thigh lift, arm lift, buttock lift, and scar revision. A skilled plastic surgeon in New York creates a personalized plan to improve proportion while preserving balanced, natural-looking contours. Every recommendation considers anatomy, lifestyle, recovery needs, and the safest surgical approach for improving proportion while maintaining natural body contours. The consultation process clarifies which body procedures may address specific concerns while supporting realistic expectations, proportion, comfort, and lasting results.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Non-surgical treatments can soften visible signs of aging, improve skin quality, reduce localized concerns, and refresh appearance without traditional surgery. Available options may include BOTOX Cosmetic, dermabrasion, chemical peels, laser procedures, HydraFacial, Ultherapy, CoolSculpting, Velashape, Juvéderm, Vivace, T-Shape 2 by Artemis, and other advanced technologies. A plastic surgeon in New York selects non-surgical treatments according to skin type, anatomy, concerns, and realistic goals. Treatment recommendations are based on skin quality, anatomy, treatment goals, expected downtime, and whether a nonsurgical approach can realistically achieve the desired improvement. Each non-surgical plan is carefully scheduled to support gradual improvement, consistent results, appropriate maintenance, and a refreshed appearance without overcorrection.
Mommy Makeover Procedures
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures created to address changes in the breasts and body after pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuation. Depending on needs, the plan may include a breast lift or reduction, tummy tuck, and targeted liposuction. An experienced plastic surgeon in New York coordinates each step to improve proportion, comfort, and overall body contour safely. Specialist planning considers future pregnancy goals, recovery time, surgical priorities, and the most balanced path to natural-looking results. A detailed consultation helps determine whether combined or staged procedures best match the patient’s health, family plans, lifestyle, and priorities.
