Shana Mazgaj, MSN, FNP-BC: Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner in Buffalo, NY
Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, U.S. Air Force veteran, and the founder of Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness.
Hello! My name is Shana (Shay), and I am the owner of Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness!
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in Head and Neck Oncology and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at ECMC. I started my career in healthcare as a Medic in the United States Air Force. This role paved the way for many years of experience in multiple specialized areas.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from Daemen College and subsequently pursued a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree leading to board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I also hold certifications in Botox and Dermal Fillers from the American Academy of Facial Aesthetics, as well as in IV vitamin infusion therapy.
In addition to my full-time focus on cancer care, I have developed a strong interest in medical aesthetics, including specialized skincare procedures, Botox and dermal fillers. I am passionate about helping my patients not only overcome their health challenges but also enhance their self-confidence and overall well-being. As a Nurse Practitioner who specializes in Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, I understand the importance of feeling good about one’s appearance.
My approach to aesthetics in Buffalo, NY
In my practice, I strive to provide personalized care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of my patients’ needs. Whether it’s through non-surgical aesthetic treatments or assisting in post-operative care following plastic surgery procedures, I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve their desired outcomes.
I believe in taking a holistic approach to aesthetics, considering each patient’s unique goals and concerns. I aim to educate my patients about the available options, the potential risks and benefits, and the realistic expectations for their desired outcomes. By fostering open and honest communication, I work collaboratively with my patients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their preferences and needs.
I am committed to staying updated with the latest advancements and techniques in medical aesthetics. Through continuing education and relevant conferences, I make sure my patients receive the most current, evidence-based care available.
My goal for every Buffalo NY patient
Ultimately, my goal is to help my patients not only look good but also feel good about themselves. I find immense satisfaction in seeing the positive impact that aesthetic treatments can have on my patients’ confidence and self-esteem. By providing compassionate care and natural-looking results, I strive to empower my patients to embrace their unique beauty and live their lives to the fullest.
