Office

Dr. Afridi performs office-based surgical procedures in a fully accredited ambulatory center, located in the privacy of her New York City office and certified by The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Both the ultramodern surgical suite and recovery area are equipped to hospital standards and are completely state-of-the-art. Dr. Afridi uses only board certified anesthesiologists and provides safe, quality care in a comfortable environment.

Dr. Afridi's patients elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic reasons, including balancing breast size, compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery, and correcting a congenital breast defect. Under Dr. Afridi's expert care, patients enjoy great-looking, natural-feeling breasts that are one or more cup sizes larger after the operation.

Fully Customized Breast Enhancement
When you meet with Dr. Afridi for a breast augmentation consult in her New York City office, she will discuss the options and alternatives in great detail, providing you with all the information you need to make an informed decision that will satisfy your needs and expectations. Dr. Afridi offers all patients who qualify for breast augmentation the opportunity to "try on the look" during the initial consultation in order to help select the implant size that's right for them.

Dr. Afridi's Unique Perspective
Dr. Afridi has an intimate understanding of the changes a woman's body goes through during and after pregnancy. She understands that even if you watch your weight, take your vitamins, exercise, wear a maternity bra 24/7 and follow your obstetrician's advice to the letter, your body will undergo changes that are difficult and sometimes impossible to overcome on your own.

This is where Dr. Afridi's experience and expertise with mommy makeover plastic surgery prove to be invaluable. A strong understanding of pregnancy and its effects on the body have made her all the more capable of identifying the different areas that need improvement and customizing a surgical treatment plan for each woman. She knows that each woman experiences pregnancy differently, and that there is no "one size fits all" procedure for everyone.

During your consultation, Dr. Afridi will talk with you in depth about what area or areas are concerning you and what the best methods will be to help. She will take the time to listen to what you have to say and to examine your problem area(s) with great attention to detail so that together, you will come up with a plan for surgery that addresses your individual needs and desires with the goal of achieving a realistic outcome.
