The secret to his success is not linked to the most talked about phenomenon of visual social media nor the new concept of doctor shopping online. It is quite the opposite. His secret is the rudimentary practice of individualized patient care without the current trend of outsourcing care to other surgeons under his umbrella nor any visual social media phenomenon. These new age concepts that the current literature speaks to only gets you so far as a surgeon that relies on visual results. The intent and care of Dr. David Pincus can cer- tainly make an impression on a patient at their con- sultation, but the true talent of a surgeon can only speak to you through the results of their work. As the saying goes, his results speak volumes. Dr. Pincus does not believe in a mold or ideal of the human shape. His objective is to empower his patients by helping them achieve their individualized concept of beauty and confidence. The success of Pincus Plastic Surgery is due to the unfiltered, unadulterated talent of a surgeon that was cultivated by 18 years of training in Miami, Boston, and Paris in order to achieve the expertise needed to be extraordinary. For Dr. Pincus, it most certainly did not take a decennary to become a trailblazer in his area of expertise. But as we all know, giving yourself the title of an expert in any field is completely differ- ent from proving your brilliance and talent. Dr. Pincus has most certainly proven his title as an innovator and continues to persevere. After 3 years of practicing in Smithtown, Long Island, Dr. Pincus is now opening up his 2nd office in Boca Raton, Florida.

By Ekaterina Ward

T he road to plastic surgery success is paved with names that have been in the industry for decades, revered for their craft, and labelled as innovators. However, with the onset of an evolving social time follows an evolution of beauty and ideal- ism. The next generation of visionaries are making their mark with the understanding that beauty is no longer coupled with the concept of perfection or fits a mold, that of a “model.’ As the next generation takes the helm of plastic surgery royalty, Dr. David J. Pincus has soared into stratospheric success by being at the forefront of innovative, impeccable work that has been catered to the most important component of any plastic surgeon’s career-- his patients. Dr. David Pincus conceived Pincus Plastic Surgery in 2018 and has since risen to colossal accomplish- ment. His patient clientele has increased over 700%. He is one of the most sought after surgeons in New York with a fully booked surgical schedule through May 2022 and an extensive waiting list eagerly antic- ipating a cancellation. Many have questioned how it is possible to sky- rocket to such a level of success in this short period of time when Pincus Plastic Surgery is a practice where one surgeon does it all. The answer goes back to the most essential and simple way of practicing medicine- sheer talent and individualized patient care.

If you were looking for one word to describe the fashion trends coming for the winter ahead, that word would be cozy. Along with the cold weather, and the anticipated fluffy white stuff falling from the sky, you can expect stores and online shops to be filled with warm, comfortable, and fashionable options for your head-to-toe style needs. Let’s take a look at some of the major trends together. Starting with outerwear, expect to see wrap coats - both long and short – to give you a warm robe effect. Paired with a beanie, slouchy beret, or faux fur option, you’ll be warm, comfortable, and incredibly stylish. Tent coats are being shown by several major designers, perfect for rainy or cold days and, perhaps, the epitome of comfort. Warm winter coats will be offered with fleece lining or faux fur (trim, lining, or the overall look), in cuts just big enough to make you want to wear all day long. Winter coats in soft, textured materials make the outside as plush and desirable as the inside. Finally, puffer vests are seeing a comeback for those who prefer to feel the rush of cold on their arms. Plaid shirts and shackets (aka shirt jackets) in large patterns and made to fit with an abundance of room, are immensely popular for this winter season. Shackets can come in solid colors or other patterns as well, but have the overall cut of a button-down shirt with the extra thickness of a jacket. Big, slouchy sweaters in soft, plush fabrics are a top pick this season and will have you feeling like you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket. Whether you like a pullover or cardigan, get it big and in one of the season’s neutral

colors. This will all play beautifully to the season’s sense of gender neutrality. Be sure to choose one sweater with an interesting detail (think angled and long on one side) as a statement piece to your ensemble. Don’t know what to pair with your extra-large sweater? How about oversized cargo pants? They’re making a big splash for winter in deep neutral tones. The extra pockets will serve you well since handbags are one of the few items that you’ll find small in scale for winter. Keeping with the cozy theme, athleisure-wear is one of the wardrobe staples that took center stage during the pandemic and is proving to have serious staying power. Variations for the upcoming winter include roomier cut pants and sweatshirts in cropped boxy cuts. Wear them at home, the gym, or give off that ‘healthy lifestyle’ vibe while running errands. Even footwear is taking comfort into consideration this winter. While you can, no doubt, find high heeled boots and shoes, the top styles feature lower heels and lug-soled bottoms. Revel in comfort while sporting a top trend. It is notable that brands like Birdies and Rothy’s are experiencing a big boost due to the collective desire to be comfortable and stylish in an array of feisty flats. As the days get shorter and the cold starts biting, take heart …you can enjoy a warm cocoa, a burning fire, and layers of cozy, plush fashions in colors you and your other half can both enjoy.

consist of only imbibing one night a week, or instead of a double vodka cranberry, you get a splash of vodka with cranberry. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a glass of wine on the weekends in- stead of the nightly glass with dinner. There are no rules to Damp January, although you might reap similar ben- efits to Dry January. Depending on your current drinking habits, drinking less can still lead to weight loss. It can also lead to a thicker wallet because the less you drink, the less money you spend on drinks. Make sense? Furthermore, moderate drinking may actually be good for you. Studies show that light to moderate drinkers tend to lead a healthier lifestyle. And the CDC notes that moderate drinking may even offer some protective health benefits. There are benefits to both Dry and Damp January, and while you may be tinkering with one of those ideas, it’s important to still be aware of what you’re drinking habits look like. It’s easy to get carried away and over-in- dulge during the holiday season, but who really enjoys a hangover?

getting attention, as the sober curious movement has been growing. The sober curious movement is one that more people are adhering to by limiting or completely eliminating drinking al- cohol. Most people will say they are sober curious because of health and quality of life reasons, or to become more aware of their own drinking habits, though this movement is not associated with those who have an addiction. Whether you know someone who practices “Sober October,” or you have dabbled in “Dry January,” you are most likely aware of the various mocktails and alcohol-free wines on the market. Even some celebrities, like Blake Lively who founded the bottled mocktail brand Betty Buzz, are getting in on the sober curious movement. If Dry January doesn’t sound ap- pealing, but you are interested in lim- iting your alcohol intake, you can give “Damp January” a shot. Much like the dry version, this practice is less rigid. Instead of removing all alcohol, you simply drink less of it. That could

You may have heard of, or even partaken in, “Dry January.” But if you don’t know what this event is, let’s dive into it. Dry January is the practice of abstaining from alcohol for, you guessed it, all of January. A quick in- ternet search will tell you that this has been a celebration of sorts since as early as the 1940s, and spans across America and Europe. The purpose of Dry January is to become more aware of your drinking habits, along with acting as a kind of detox from the indulgence of the Hol- iday season. More than this, people who partake have found themselves with added benefits. Weight loss, im- proved sleep, more energy, and a lift in mood have all been reported. Now more than ever, this event is

Let’s face it, trendy restau- rants come and go. That’s why, it’s time to bring it back old school and share with you all

stuffed mushrooms, eggplant rollatini, shrimp oreganata, and zucchini sticks was a wonderful change. Light and more than enough for two guests. I rarely eat pasta before an entree, but with such a wide selection of interesting choices, I could not resist.We shared a bowl of Penne Melanzane; A pasta tossed with battered eggplant, sauteed in a marsala plum tomato sauce, topped with ricotta cheese was incredible. The sauce was rich and flavorful, just like Nonna’s Sunday sauce. For entrees, we had the Shrimp Parmigiana: typically, when I have ordered this dish at other restaurants I’ve dined, I could barely see the shrimp buried under all the cheese. Not so at Filetto’s. Plump and breaded jumbo shrimp, deli- cately positioned on a plate, were topped with pomodoro sauce with just enough melted mozzarella. Classic Southern Italian, delicious and plentiful. Following suit was the Veal Milanese; pan fried veal cutlet topped with arugula, pecorino cheese, diced onions & cherry tomatoes, dressed with balsamic glaze. I love the layers of flavors and texture of this dish. The golden crunch from the breaded veal with the sweetness of fresh plum tomatoes and saltiness of the pecorino was well balanced. Squeeze a little lemon on top to brighten up the dish. A popular favorite at Filetto’s. As traditional as Filetto’s may be, their take on southern Italian fare is not heavy handed. It is apparent that much thought goes into their preparation, presentation and hospi- tality that will turn you into a Filetto’s loyalist too!

that Filetto’s of Commack is, and why their customers keep coming back.Almost 20 years ago the original Filetto’s opened in East Northport. A success story onto itself, the owners decided it was time to expand. Open- ing their doors about one year ago, Filetto’s of Commack has gotten stellar reviews from its patrons. Partner Vinny explains, “For me, it is all about the service. The food must be spot on, but my customers keep coming back, be- cause they know how much we care about them. Tonight, we tried a variety of dishes that I am pleased to share with you. Fried Raviolis:A crispy exterior stuffed with creamy ricotta was the perfect balance. Served with a bright po- modoro dipping sauce was fun and delicious. Hot Antipasto for two: Typically, laden with lots of cheese and sauce, you can barely see what is on the plate. Am I right? Filetto’s has taken a lighter approach, which for me, makes this dish far more appealing. Baked clams,

Manual lymphatic drainage is a very gentle type of treatment that engages the lymphatic sys- tem. The treatment is similar to medical massage, yet far more advanced in its execution. MLD is known for reducing swelling caused by fluid build-up. This can occur from an injury, post cancer treatment or even circumstances that may cause fluid retention. Very often the swelling is internal and can not be seen. We suc- cessfully relieve pain, restore movement, and allow for opti- mal tissue healing. Although MLD is most often used to address medical conditions, it can benefit a healthy person as well. The Lymphatic system is our recycling center and plays an integral role in the immune functions of the body. It is our first line of defense against infection and it keeps our body’s waste products and fluids in balance. When this system be- comes blocked, our fluid thickens and swelling in the blocked area occurs. The lymphatic system’s network of tissues and organs can be affectively stimulated by utilizing the specific techniques of MLD. When applied properly, it will increase the lymphatic flow, stimulating a malfunctioning or fatigued system and clearing up blockages in areas that are stagnant. It can either be used on specific areas or there can be a total body-balancing approach. By innervating specific areas with MLD, the entire body can be positively affected, proven by imaging studies showing that we can increase the speed of flow by about tenfold.

Conditions often treated by MLD: • Pain of unknown origin • Headaches • Arthritis • Sinusitis and Allergies • Fatigue • Stress • Lymphedema • Fluid retention • Mastitis • Post-surgical Liposuction • Fibromyalgia • Chronic and acute pain including neck, back and legs • Strains and Sprains

ET MAGAZINE - JANUARY 2023

The Super Bowl is coming, and we’re all looking for places to watch the game. While we have our generic contenders, it’s always nice to fi nd a unique, hidden refuge with a solid beer list, food menu and reputable TV count. If you head to Huntington, Patchogue, Babylon, or any of the island’s happenin’ towns, there’s always a solid turnout for the sports events – especially this one. Some of my go-tos include Rust & Gold in Huntington, Changing Times in East Northport, Napper Tandy’s in Northport and Croxley’s Ale House . What makes for a good “sports bar”? I hear this question often. In my opinion, it’s a com- bination of elements. Solid staff, memorable bar food, drink specials and a comfortable at- mosphere. Whether I’m with friends and fam- ily, or solo, it’s important to me that my expe- rience is a positive one. Rust & Gold in Huntington Village is groovy. Seriously, the vibes are reminiscent of my time in Williamsburg and the people are equally as memorable. Good drink list, beer list (the El Sully is my go-to), snacks and games. Al- though my personal preference is the Buffalo Chicken Dip with a side of Jenga, they truly

offer something for everyone. Wings, Burgers, Apps – the list is endless. Also, did I mention the huge projector screen? I imagine that’s going to come in handy for everyone watching the game… or the half time show. Changing Times in East Northport is classic. Everything from the menu to the staff to the crowd – it’s all old school. There’s something so comforting about the atmosphere that I al- ways seem to end up here. Their wings are awesome, and so is most of their bar food. (Think apps and burgers!) They have stellar specials and an eye-opening number of TVs, making this spot perfect for watching the big game. Napper Tandy’s is a classic go-to. Close to my apartment in Northport, consistent, and fi lled with entertaining locals – this place is a good time. Surprisingly food forward, this place offers a number of unique, unexpected appetizers and entrees. I personally stick to the wings and drink specials, however my friends prefer to try the wacky menu additions including the coconut shrimp and potstickers. Last but not least, Croxley’s Ale House . Most of you are familiar with this place. Although

my personal preference is the Franklin Square location, Long Islander’s have their neighbor- hood favorite. Reliable, relaxed – Croxley’s never disappoints. Order some drinks, apps and enjoy the game with friends. Whether you prefer your neighborhood spot or trying something new, there are options for everyone this super bowl season. Chat with friends, peruse reviews, choose a spot and en- joy the big game!
