As national debates over tariffs dominate headlines, Dr. Tomer Avraham of Avraham Plastic Surgery NYC is making waves with a counterintuitive message: “In uncertain economic times, it is important to explore effective ways to continue taking care of yourself.” Amid rising costs for imported medical supplies and technologies, the NYC-based practice is doubling down on affordability, transparency, and locally sourced innovations to ensure patients can prioritize self-confidence without financial strain.
“People think tariffs only affect electronics or manufacturing,” Dr. Avraham says. “But when syringes, surgical tools, or aesthetic products like fillers are hit with surcharges, the impact trickles down to the patient - fast.”
Dr. Avraham is the founder of Avraham Plastic Surgery NYC, which is located at 535 5th Ave. in the heart of New York City. Dr. Tomer Avraham also runs Avraham Plastic Surgery Greenwich, a second practice serving the residents of Greenwich and surrounding Connecticut areas. Both practices have already seen shifting supplier relationships, delayed shipments, and rising material costs in recent weeks. Many of the tools and products used in common procedures - from dermal fillers to thread lifts - are sourced from overseas. As tariffs disrupt the delicate balance of cost and access, aesthetic providers are being forced to adapt, and patients may start to notice.
“This isn’t just about vanity,” Dr. Avraham adds. “Many of our procedures address medical concerns like post-trauma reconstruction, skin damage, or congenital defects. When costs rise, it limits options for people who truly need these services.”
The need for transparency and advocacy from providers has never been greater as patients become more discerning and informed. Dr. Avraham is encouraging colleagues across the country to speak out about the real-world implications of trade policies on healthcare, and he’s launching an initiative to educate patients about how to make smart choices in an increasingly complex market.
Dr. Avraham has served as the Director of Breast Reconstruction and Director of Breast Microsurgical Reconstruction Fellowship at Yale. He is also board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Dr. Avraham also maintains ongoing professional memberships and affiliations with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM), the New York Regional Society of Plastic Surgery (NYRSPS), and the American College of Surgeons (ACS). As one of New York’s most trusted and authoritative plastic surgeons, Dr. Avraham is calling on policymakers to better consider the ripple effects of economic decisions on healthcare and wellness.
"At a time when external pressures threaten to inflate costs and limit access, our mission is clear: to ensure self-improvement remains within reach, not just for the privileged few, but for anyone committed to feeling their best. True confidence shouldn’t be a luxury dictated by trade wars - it’s an investment worth protecting," says Dr. Avraham.
