Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani's social posts and replies.

What is the typical recovery timeline for a facelift and necklift?
While individual recovery varies, patients undergoing facelift and necklift procedures can see significant results, such as a sharp jawline, as early as 6 weeks post-op.
What is Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani's philosophy on surgical vs. non-surgical treatments for skin laxity?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani emphasizes that while maintenance with non-invasive techniques is important, these methods work best after significant loose skin and tissue laxity have been addressed with a surgical lift. He notes that no cream or laser can achieve the same extent of improvement for loose skin and tissue laxity as a surgical lift.
What concerns can Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani address with facelift and necklift procedures?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani's facelift and necklift procedures can effectively address concerns such as 'turkey neck' and jowls, aiming to create a sharper jawline and a more youthful appearance.
What functional and aesthetic concerns can Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani address with rhinoplasty?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani performs functional rhinoplasty to address severe issues like a bent nose causing non-existent airflow, chronically uncomfortable breathing and sleep, and aesthetic concerns where nose shape draws unwanted attention.
How does Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani address midface volume and contour?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani's approach can involve restoring a patient's own fat pads to a youthful position, which can eliminate the need for fat injections and help avoid an overly round facial appearance.
What is the Endoscopic Midface Lift and who is a candidate?
The Endoscopic Midface Lift operates in a deeper plane, lifting from the deepest layer of the face to elevate the cheeks. This approach helps avoid many risks associated with previous surgery, fillers, threads, and energy devices, making it an attractive option for patients who have undergone these prior treatments.
What are the benefits of a chin implant?
A modest chin implant can elongate the jawline, achieving results beyond what is possible with tightening procedures alone.
What are the typical recovery expectations after complex facial surgery?
While individual recovery varies, one patient was able to return to work within a week after undergoing an Endoscopic Midface Lift, Deep Plane Revision Facelift, Necklift, and Chin Implant, experiencing only mild residual bruising.
What specific issues can Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani address with revision rhinoplasty?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani performs revision rhinoplasty to correct issues from previous nasal surgery such as alar retraction, midvault collapse, unsupported droopy nasal tip, pulled-up nostrils creating an 'angry' appearance, and compromised nasal breathing.
How does Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani use imaging in consultations?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani prefers to use 2D imaging during consultations to help determine what changes will satisfy patients and reduce the guesswork in understanding their desired results.
What surgical techniques and materials does Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani use for rhinoplasty?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani performs both open and closed approach rhinoplasty. He can address the nasal bridge without altering the nasal tip in closed rhinoplasty, which results in less post-operative swelling and quicker recovery. He utilizes rib cartilage for grafting to re-support nasal structures when internal cartilage is unavailable or insufficient, but can also perform procedures without the need for rib cartilage in certain cases.
What is Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani's approach to facial contouring with procedures like buccal fat reduction, submental liposuction, and tip stitch rhinoplasty?
Dr. Bassiri-Tehrani uses a combination of procedures like buccal fat reduction, submental liposuction, and tip stitch rhinoplasty to define the jawline, refine the nose, and enhance overall facial harmony. His philosophy is to achieve natural results that refine features without changing the patient's fundamental identity, often with minimal downtime.

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.

Total received (2024)

$74

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani received $74 across 3 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Stryker Corporation.

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?”
