"TWEAKMENT"
With Nurse Tara
“You can have multiple things done and still not look overdone explains Tara Adashev, the head nurse and injectables specialist in midtown Manhattan known for her “less is more” aesthetic. Dressed in purple scrubs and Golden Goose sneakers, with a makeup-free face, Adashev, known as Nurse Tara, looks like a New York City teenager. “Don’t pay attention to my red skin she tells me; I just did RF micro needling.” After assessing my face and asking what I want to achieve (short of a miracle in age reversal), Adashev shares her plan of action to lift the outer corners of my brows and mouth, which are both downturned. “I just need to weaken that muscle around your jawline…it’s very strong pulling the corners of your mouth down, and of course, gravity doesn’t help!” It’s clear she isn’t here to sell more units of Botox or filler. “I’m not into overfilling, we just want to keep things natural,” she smiles and tells me to clench my teeth so she can see the veins on my neck. “Yes, ok, good, we can get your Platysmal Bands and that is going to tighten your jawline.” She pinches my neck, and a few painless pricks are administered. Known as the Nefertiti Neck Lift, this area is one of my personal favorite treatments, a game changer for both neck and jaw, keeping them smoother and sag-free. A great injector knows exactly where to wield the needle, and I can tell I am in capable hands with Adashev. Nurse Tara’s strong syringe wielding skills come from years working in the operating room prior to transitioning into her position as the Head Nurse for Neinstein Plastic Surgery, a practice specializing in “Mommy Makeovers”. “Every patient is unique, and I love the challenge of creating symmetry and balance and how good it feels when people come back to me telling me I’ve made them feel better about themselves.” Check her Instagram @nursetaranyc for a pre procedure scroll to help determine what treatments she recommends to combat common complaints like jowls, double chin and uneven skin tone. Hands down the most user-friendly explanations of the casues with multiple solutions she has for solving them. She also shares lots of fun facts like how workouts and metabolism correlate to how long your Botox lasts!
