Dr. Michael Omidi

The decision to undergo plastic surgery is particularly unique in the field of medical services in that it is very intimate and personal. Similarly, when selecting a plastic surgeon, the decision has to be based not only on competence and experience but also on personal rapport and sharing of similar values. To ensure the best possible outcome, the patient and doctor should be a match. To grant you a clearer idea of whether I’m the right physician for you, I’d like to share my thoughts on the core values guiding our practice. I hope these principles will prove to be useful to you in the process of selecting your surgeon. First and foremost, since plastic (or cosmetic) surgery is entirely elective, safety in performing any procedures is of utmost importance. My stance in making a surgical plan is to be a capable and trustworthy physician first and foremost. In other words, I take your health and safety into consideration before anything else. This conviction inspires everything I do, from consultation to selecting the type of procedures available to post-surgical care. I take a very conservative stance when performing surgery and do not hesitate to deny a procedure that is not in the patient’s best interests. In the same vein, I am honest and forthright in suggesting non-surgical therapy such as weight loss treatment as opposed to a facelift or liposuction whenever possible. Honesty is central to building a rapport between doctors and their patients. I realize that no surgeon can be an expert in every field. Thus, if I feel that another doctor can perform an operation more safely or the procedure is outside of my field of expertise, I will help you find the right doctor. When we meet for a consultation, I will not hurry you or send in a consultant or care coordinator to do the consultation. I set aside ample time so we can meet each other, and I can listen to you and offer my suggestions on the optimal treatment methods. I keep up to date with the latest and most innovative techniques such as fat transfer to the breasts, PRP treatments, and various laser and non-surgical therapies. Last but not least, when it comes to selecting a treatment plan, my philosophy is that less is more. After a procedure, a patient should acquire exquisite and natural beauty. A facelift should not look stretched. Breasts should be beautiful and compliment the body. Ultimately, I believe that plastic surgery calls for delicate artistry in which even the smallest of details make a tremendous difference. For instance, in the course of eyelid surgery, I remove slightly less skin from the upper eyelids knowing that complete elimination of fold over the crease would appear unnatural. In the end, being a plastic surgeon requires the expertise of a skilled physician coupled with a keen eye of an artist. This conviction continues to guide me through every aspect of my practice as I strive to deliver the best results to my patients.”

Dr. Michael Omidi is a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who treats dozens of patients every week at his clinics in Beverly Hills and the Greater Los Angeles area.

Dr. Rady Rahban

Knowledge is power! I spend an unexpected amount of time with each of my patients, making sure they understand every phase of their surgery. The more they know the more they are in control. Nothing is more important then earning the trust of my patients. It is this connection that allows them to undergo surgery with confidence and ease.”

Dr. Rady Rahban is a board-certified plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgeon who is world known for his fantastic natural-looking results. According to him, the concept of plastic surgeries is not only exclusive for the rich-class people but also for average people who want to enhance their appearances by opting for surgeries like rhinoplasty, mommy makeover, facelift, breast augmentation, etc.

Specialization

Dr. Rady Rahban’s excellent academic records and perfection in results have led him to the list of America’s top plastic surgeons. He believes in guiding his patients in the best possible way to help them from becoming victims of botched surgery. He is an expert in all forms of plastic surgeries especially reconstructive ones. With his generous, compassionate, and reliable results, he gained international recognition, and people from all over the world travel to get themselves treated by him.

Peoples’ approach to plastic surgery has changed considerably in the last five years. With the aid of shows like ‘Extreme Makeover’ and ‘Dr. 90210,’ as well as instant access to the online information that is now available regarding virtually every surgical procedure, more and more people are seeking the assistance of a plastic surgeon. Plastic surgery is no longer exclusively for the rich or for the Hollywood celebrity, but is now also for the average ‘person next door.’ In addition, increasingly, more men are seeking plastic surgeries such as rhinoplasty, liposuction and face lifts. It is much more accepted today, and is no longer associated with some sort of stereotype. The key to an ‘Extreme Makeover’ is to really enhance every aspect of one’s image. This means that in addition to plastic surgery, patients should also focus on things such as losing weight, working on their self image and self confidence (with the help of a therapist, if necessary) and improving their smile with dental work, such as obtaining veneers. Patients may also want to consider Lasik, and may want to enlist the help of an ‘expert’ on makeup, hairstyle and clothing. It is only when you focus on every aspect of your image, both internal and external, that you can truly achieve an ‘Extreme Makeover.”

One of the most famous procedures for which Dr. Rady Rahban is ‘Facelift’ in which he performs surgical procedures to give his pateints a youthful and fresh look. He performs systematic procedures to tighten the muscles of the face and neck by removing the wrinkles and excess fat. With a proper facelift, the person feels an immediate change in his/her appearance.

Don’t be fooled by gimmicky names that a doctor places on his facelift procedures in order to charge more for that lift. The basics of a facelift remain the same, procedure to procedure. Concentrate on finding an excellent surgeon who will take the time to perform your surgery perfectly, and with minimal scarring.”

Dr. Andrew Frankel

Real beauty is not formulaic. I believe it is essential for a plastic surgeon to respect everyone as an individual, not simply a patient. My ambition is always to find the best version of a person’s features and build a realistic but elevated approach to evolving them. It is important that my work is sympathetic to patients’ features, so the changes they see are true to their essence, and not a departure from their identity. I feel a successful outcome is one that creates balance and harmony between facial features, so the result looks natural. In this way, I am rewarded time and again when my work enables patients to feel great about themselves.”
