Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Dino R. Elyassnia

Sourced directly from Dr. Dino R. Elyassnia's social posts and replies.

What is the typical scar visibility after Dr. Elyassnia's Short Scar Neck Lift?
Scars from the Short Scar Neck Lift are designed to be imperceptible post-operation, as demonstrated by patient results.
Source →
How does Dr. Elyassnia address earlobes during a facelift to ensure natural results?
Dr. Elyassnia can convert 'pixie' or pulled-down earlobes to a rounder shape during a facelift. This technique helps to hide facelift scars and remove any stigmata of the procedure, contributing to a more natural appearance.
Source →
What specific views should patients look for when evaluating before and after images for neck lifts?
Dr. Elyassnia emphasizes the importance of evaluating the 'looking down' view in before and after images, as it reveals the cleanliness and sharpness of the neckline, similar to what is seen in youth.
Source →
What are the benefits of a chin implant and what kind of results can be expected?
A chin implant can significantly affect the entire facial profile, not just the chin. It can lead to a stronger jawline, improve overall profile balance, and achieve a completely natural result.
Source →
What is the typical recovery timeline for rhinoplasty results?
Rhinoplasty results will continue to improve over time as post-operative swelling subsides.
Source →
Is the Short Scar Neck Lift a major procedure?
The Short Scar Neck Lift, often combined with fat grafting, is a much smaller procedure than many patients assume is needed to achieve results like restoring lost volume, redefining the jawline, and tightening the neckline.
Source →
What is the primary purpose and expected outcome of a lip lift?
A lip lift's primary purpose is to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip, which naturally elongates with age, rather than simply making the lips bigger. This results in more upper lip show, better tooth display when smiling, and a more youthful proportion to the lower face.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Dino R. Elyassnia received $646 across 5 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
