In Dr. Mo Zakhireh's own words

How Dr. Mo Zakhireh describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • The practice's surgical approach aims to achieve results without revealing that surgery was performed.
  • Basically the goal is that if you are making this adjustment, wanting to really get the proportions of your face, kind of the nose, lips, chin, mid-face area, kind of all in alignment to make it more balanced, more harmonious, and ultimately give you the best results possible
  • One of the best ways to increase the collagen content of the skin and literally rejuvenate the skin and without much effort and without much cash out of your pocket is to stack a hydrafacial and microneedling
  • The practice believes no two lip filler treatments should look exactly the same.

Specialization

  • Dr. Mo performs breast augmentations.
  • Specializes in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic rejuvenation.

Technique

  • So if you're undergoing a rhinoplasty, sometimes we're also talking about potentially doing a lip lift or adding volume to the cheeks, potentially adding a chin implant, and or doing liposuction or a neck lift
  • A favorite technique of mine is microneedling, which also improves the collagen content of the skin immensely

Consultation

  • Book a consultation with us and we’ll help you choose the treatments
  • During rhinoplasty consultations, Dr. Mo Zakhireh's practice focuses on facial balancing by evaluating not only the nose but also the mid-face, cheeks, lips, chin, and neck.

About

Dr. Mo Zakhireh is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Palm Desert, California, serving the Coachella Valley. He specializes in both surgical and non-surgical aesthetic rejuvenation. Dr. Zakhireh emphasizes achieving results where patients look incredible, but it's not immediately obvious what specific changes were made. His surgical approach, including deep plane face and neck lifts, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty, focuses on refreshing features and creating harmony without revealing surgery was performed. For rhinoplasty, the goal is to refine the nose to complement facial features, preserve individuality, and achieve a balanced appearance, not a standardized look. As a SKINCEUTICALS FLAGSHIP facility, the practice also focuses on skin longevity. Dr. Zakhireh believes healthy skin is maintained over time with consistent treatments like microneedling, medical facials, lymphatic facials, red light therapy, and preventative Botox. These treatments aim to improve skin quality, maintain collagen, and keep the complexion healthy for years, often without downtime. Consultations are offered to tailor treatment plans to each patient's skin, goals, and lifestyle, ensuring they feel heard and supported.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Mo Zakhireh

Sourced directly from Dr. Mo Zakhireh's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits of combining a deep plane face and neck lift with breast augmentation?
A combination of deep plane face and neck lift and breast augmentation can refresh features and bring everything back into harmony.
What is the VIP Membership at Dr. Zakhireh's practice?
The VIP Membership is designed to provide a year-round glow, exclusive perks, and effortless savings on favorite treatments.
What should patients consider when choosing a plastic surgeon and what is Dr. Zakhireh's approach to patient experience?
Choosing the right plastic surgeon involves more than just reviewing before and after photos. Dr. Zakhireh's practice prioritizes making the patient feel heard, supported, and confident throughout every step of their journey.
How does Dr. Zakhireh's practice help patients choose skin treatments?
The practice offers consultations to help patients choose treatments that make the most sense for their individual skin, goals, and lifestyle.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Rhinoplasty does not always have to be performed as a standalone procedure; it can be commonly combined with others depending on the patient's anatomy and goals to create better facial balance and more harmonious results.
What is a HydraFacial and what are its benefits?
A HydraFacial goes beyond surface-level cleansing, using gentle vortex suction to remove buildup while simultaneously replenishing skin with hydration. It leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed, and noticeably smoother, and is suitable for congested, dull, or dehydrated skin. This treatment involves a deep cleanse, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, with no downtime, and can restore a fresh, healthy glow in under an hour.
What is Dr. Zakhireh's approach to lip filler treatments?
Lip filler treatments are completely customized to the individual, with no two treatments looking exactly the same. They can be used for subtle volume, more definition, improved symmetry, or enhancing natural lip shape.
Who performs lip filler treatments at Dr. Zakhireh's practice?
Lip filler treatments at the practice are performed by their Aesthetic RN, Bri.
What are the immediate recovery expectations after lip filler treatment?
Immediate results following lip filler treatment are expected to include some swelling, which subsides over the following days. As swelling subsides, the lips will continue to soften and settle into their final result.
How does microneedling work and what are its benefits?
Microneedling triggers the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production from within. When combined with HydraFacial, it creates smoother texture, tighter pores, softer fine lines, and hydrated, healthy skin between treatments.
What is the process for rhinoplasty at Dr. Zakhireh's practice?
Every rhinoplasty begins with a personalized consultation and a surgical plan tailored to the patient's unique anatomy and goals, as no two noses are the same. The consultation also determines if a patient is a candidate for rhinoplasty.
Does Dr. Zakhireh's practice document patient recovery and what are the expectations for rhinoplasty results?
Yes, the practice documents patient recovery to track progress and show how results continue to evolve over time, especially for procedures like rhinoplasty.

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)

$222

Payments

11

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Mo Zakhireh received $222 across 11 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 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?”
