Dr. Houtan Chaboki, MD

Dr. Houtan Chaboki is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon practicing in Washington, D.C. He specializes in facial plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and chin enhancements. Dr. Chaboki aims for natural-looking results, with a philosophy for rhinoplasty to help patients "look better, not different," often addressing concerns like reducing a dorsal bump or elevating a droopy tip using techniques such as closed rhinoplasty. He emphasizes that each treatment plan is highly customized, considering an individual's unique anatomy, specific goals, and the suitability of surgery. For chin enhancement, Dr. Chaboki offers both temporary injectable fillers and permanent solid silicone chin implants, noting that implants can improve the jawline and sharpen the neck by bringing the jawline forward. Upper eyelid surgery can often be performed in-office under local anesthesia, though a facility setting with general anesthesia is also an option depending on the patient's needs. He believes achieving facial harmony involves evaluating the chin, jawline, nose, and surrounding structures collectively.
