NEW YORK, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquavit Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced its newest addition to its management team, Dr. David Shafer. He has been appointed Chief Medical Technology Officer and will be leading Aquavit's R&D Medical Technology for Aquavit's product pipeline.

The App features over 1000 interactive FAQs about plastic surgery – from invasive surgeries to non-invasive procedures. Dr. Shafer has described today's plastic surgery patient as "sophisticated, inquisitive and information seeking", and created this resource with them in mind. With an eye for achieving natural looking results, Dr. Shafer has repeatedly been voted TOP DOC for Botox, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, and Facelift among many other categories. W Magazine also picked up on the buzz, and featured Dr. Shafer as a "Beauty Talent soon to be on your speed-dial."
