Plastic Surgeon
When you’re looking for a plastic surgeon who always provides you with a rewarding experience, call on Dr. David Shokrian. An expert in the field of breast surgery at New York Breast Surgery Center, Dr. Shokrian is one of the top plastic surgeons in NYC. He understands that how you look impacts your whole life. When it comes to breast surgery, you need that extra level of protectiveness and insight he brings. Call today to schedule a consultation.
Dr. David Shokrian is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at New York Breast Surgery Center. Breast surgery is his specialty, as he performs every procedure — from routine breast augmentation with traditional saline- and silicone-filled implants to complex corrections like capsular contracture treatment and full breast reconstruction — with equal finesse.
His training has been impressive. He spent 18 years in the operating room before entering private practice. He trained across two countries, completed two fellowships and rotated through five institutions. In a city full of plastic surgeons, that background is hard to match.
Women and men come to New York Breast Surgery Center for different reasons. Some want aesthetic improvements. Others need reconstruction after a mastectomy or cancer treatment. He doesn’t draw a line between the two. “I enjoy creating and restoring beauty,” says Dr. Shokrian. “I pride myself on finding beauty in every one of my patients.”
Dr. Shokrian attended medical school in Israel and did his residency in New York. Two fellowships in two different surgical disciplines created a longer road than the one most of his peers took. His full education and training include:
He completed the two fellowships back to back, whereas most surgeons stop after the first. Dr. Shokrian opened his private practice with a surgical range that took years to build. That training gave him:
Dr. Shokrian doesn’t walk into your consultation with a ready-made plan. He builds it during the appointment around your anatomy and goals. Your consultation starts with a medical history and a physical assessment. After you explain your goals, he reviews your options with you and lays out a realistic picture of what surgery can deliver. He never rushes through a consultation and never overpromises results.
“My goal,” says Dr. Shokrian, “is to help you become the best you. I see what’s possible, looking beyond the immediate problem to a solution and the opportunities it offers.”
He publishes research in peer-reviewed medical journals. He travels abroad to perform surgery on patients without other options. Locally, he works with high-risk youth in the New York community.
At New York Breast Surgery Center, he works with Dr. Mohamed Soliman Ahmed Elfar, a board-certified plastic surgeon who also has more than a decade of clinical experience. Whatever brings you in, one of these two experts can handle it.
Dr. Shokrian’s name comes up often beyond surgical circles. He’s been featured in press and media coverage for his work in breast and reconstructive surgery. Journalists seek him out as an expert source on trends and patient safety. In fact, he’s been written up in the Wall Street Journal regarding his work on post-Ozempic weight-loss body and breast contouring, including breast lifts and body lifts.
His peers in the New York County Medical Society have recognized him with the title of Top Plastic Surgeon, a peer-nominated designation. Additional honors for his skill and expertise have followed throughout his career.
He speaks at national conferences on topics such as facial transplantation surgery, gender-affirming procedures and burn reconstruction. His speaking record covers more ground than most breast surgeons encounter in a career. He also performs live demonstrations on social media, which give prospective patients a direct view of his technique before booking a consultation. Not many surgeons in New York would put their technique on display.
Dr. Shokrian adds: “I focus on keeping your scarring to a minimum and your recovery short. No matter what your specific procedure, I aim for results that look natural, not done.”
Dr. Shokrian handles both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at New York Breast Surgery Center. His cosmetic procedures include:
using saline-filled or silicone-filled implants like gummy bear and Motiva implants
including variations like breast lifts with implants and scarless breast lifts for qualifying patients
for an implant-free alternative
for women who’ve had a mastectomy or lumpectomy
to correct or improve prior work
addressing noticeable differences in size or shape between your breasts
to correct a structural condition that affects your breast shape from development
when you’re ready to remove your implants
consultations for patients with systemic concerns
such as inverted nipple correction areola reduction and nipple enlargement
for male patients seeking a natural-looking, flatter chest and discreet results
The New York Breast Surgery Center runs an accredited surgical suite, where your safety is the first priority. But safety standards don’t start on surgery day. It begins from the moment you arrive for your first appointment. Your safety, results, comfort and privacy are all equally important.
Dr. Shokrian is one of the few surgeons in New York who regularly performs awake surgery. If awake surgery works for your case, you heal faster and deal with far less discomfort afterward, but not every patient qualifies. Dr. Shokrian evaluates your case before making that call.
His experience is vast, as he’s performed more than 5,000 breast procedures in his career. And his expertise is acknowledged by other medical institutions, as he has operating privileges at multiple hospitals, including Lenox Hill Hospital, Glen Cove Hospital, Huntington Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital (MEETH).
“Recovery after awake surgery is faster than most expect,” says Dr. Shokrian. “You go home the same day to recuperate. Out-of-town patients should plan to stay nearby for at least a week before flying back. I provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to protect your results.”
Some of the patients Dr. Shokrian has treated had a lot to say about their experience, such as:
For years, I struggled with sagging breasts that made me feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. Thanks to the great eye, experience, and care of Dr. Shokrian and the team, I underwent a breast lift procedure that has given me a more youthful and lifted appearance. The results are beyond my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the care I got there too. They were very supportive during my recovery, and thanks to their talent my self-esteem skyrocketed.
As a top plastic surgeon in New York City, he’s proud of his work. He’s made thousands of men and women much happier with their bodies over the years.
