Dr Swift was recommended to me by a friend who works in the Cosmeceuticals field. I asked her to find out who was the best in New York. She said he was the best injector of facial fillers in New York and explained that all the products are only as good as the person you use to inject them. Once I got his name I checked him out with a physician friend of mine whom Dr. Swift had trained under and received wonderful feedback as well.

I went to Dr Swift for Sculptura. He really is a master and in fact trains many others in the technique. Dr. Swift is one of the most caring physicians I have ever dealt with. Sort of wish he was a general practitioner so I could utilize him more often. My results were remarkable. He subscribes to the less is more school of plastic surgery and wants you to look the best you can, not like someone else.

I also want to mention that although I initially went to him for Sculptura I subsequently had him inject botox. Again, he is incredible. To many people get botox and the top third of their face is frozen and unnatural. I had been getting botox for years and this is the first time I saw what it could really do. Again, a natural looking result. I have recommended several friends and family members as well as co-workers to him and every raves about him. He most recently did a facelift on a friend of mine. I have never seen results as good as this. Not only the appearance, but, the care he took in stitching.

I have seen so many facelifts that look good but when it comes to the stitching behind the ear, the doctors get a little sloppy. You would have to pull my friends ear forward to even see an incision. Really flawless work. I know many people who have had this procedure done at some big name New York doctors who are just riding on their outdated reputations. They missed out on Dr. Swifts miraculous hands and manner. The man is an artist and a genius.

His staff is also very caring and kinds as well. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest he's an eleven!

What Are Body Procedures for Men?
Body procedures may involve the use of liposuction (using small tubes called cannula and lasers to liquefy and remove fat), or it may involve removing excess saggy skin to tighten and tone the body cosmetically. Certain body procedures, including thigh lifts and arm lifts, help reduce sagging, droopy skin and give you a more toned, proportionate physique.
