In Dr. Paul N. Afrooz's own words

How Dr. Paul N. Afrooz describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • My approach has always been rooted in thoughtful analysis rather than a one-size-fits-all solution
  • From your first consultation to recovery, my team and I are committed to providing the same level of attention, communication, and individualized care that we would want for our own families

Specialization

  • We did a deep plane, lower face, deep structural neck lift, a very subtle temporal lift for the tail of the eyebrow, a very conservative upper blepharoplasty, and some laser resurfacing of the lower eyelids

Technique

  • Every face is different, so the right technique depends on what we’re trying to accomplish, not simply on doing more
  • We did an upper blepharoplasty with some conservative skin removal of the upper eyelids, as well as the lower blepharoplasty
  • To start, we did a temporal brow lift, and that's done as an endoscopic style temporal brow lift

Training & credentials

  • In experienced hands, we can still get the work done that we need to get done

Consultation

  • My goal is always to help patients understand what is likely to provide meaningful, lasting improvement
  • If you are an out-of-town patient, our clinical team is very well equipped to guide you through the process of preparation for your surgery in Miami

Recovery guidance

  • So head dressings after a facelift never really made sense to me. I don't love it. In fact, I hate it because number one, it hides everything that I want to see, all the things that I just worked so hard on
  • For face lift patients, we do have an overnight suite with a private nurse for one night after surgery

Safety

  • Under eye filler, while it seems logical that a lot of patients have hollowness here and you can just fill it with a filler, we know that filler there disrupts a lot of lymphatics and causes a lot of long term bogginess and swelling that's very difficult to correct

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Paul N. Afrooz

Sourced directly from Dr. Paul N. Afrooz's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Afrooz's approach to brow lifts?
Dr. Afrooz performs endoscopic brow lifts, which are less invasive than traditional methods, using small incisions hidden within the hairline to reposition the brow. The goal is a subtle, natural look appropriate for individual anatomy, avoiding an 'overly high' or 'surprised' appearance. He emphasizes that significant upper eyelid hooding is often rooted in brow descent, not entirely the eyelid itself; when brows drop, they push down on the upper eyelids, creating a heavy, tired appearance. Treating the eyelid alone without addressing brow descent would be an incomplete solution. Brow lifts are sometimes combined with upper blepharoplasty when brow descent contributes to eyelid hooding. The technique chosen is always based on the patient's specific goals and anatomy.

What is Dr. Afrooz's consultation process?
The process for any treatment, whether surgical like a deep plane facelift, eyelid surgery, or rhinoplasty, or non-surgical, always begins with listening, evaluating, educating, and creating a personalized plan based on the patient's unique anatomy and goals. Consultations are provided to determine appropriate procedures based on a patient's anatomy, goals, and stage of aging.
Source →
What is the process for out-of-town patients?
The team guides out-of-town patients through every step of traveling for surgery, starting the moment their procedure is scheduled. Patients receive a detailed confirmation email with important dates for virtual pre-op, in-person pre-op, and medical clearance. Approximately 3-4 weeks before surgery, a virtual meeting with a nurse reviews medical history, pre-surgical preparation, and recovery expectations. Patients then travel to Miami for an in-person pre-op appointment, typically the day before surgery, to finalize the surgical plan with Dr. Afrooz, take pre-operative photos, receive medications, review recovery instructions, and complete consents. Recommended stays are approximately 1 week for rhinoplasty and 2 weeks for deep plane face & neck lifts for routine follow-up. The practice provides hotel recommendations. Face and neck lift patients spend their first night in the practice's private overnight recovery suite, located in their building and staffed by an experienced nurse. Additional nursing care can also be arranged.

What is Dr. Afrooz's view on non-surgical skin tightening treatments versus facelifts?
While non-surgical skin tightening treatments have a place in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Afrooz emphasizes they are not a substitute for a well-performed facelift when significant facial and neck laxity is present. He notes that these treatments can sometimes create scar tissue beneath the skin, making subsequent surgical dissection more challenging. However, a facelift can still be performed, though it may alter the operation and highlight the importance of careful surgical technique.
Source →
What is an upper lip lift and when is it recommended?
Dr. Afrooz considers the upper lip lift one of the most overlooked procedures in facial rejuvenation. As people age, the distance between the nose and upper lip can lengthen, and the lip may appear heavier, covering more of the upper teeth, making the face look older. An upper lip lift is a subtle procedure performed through a hidden incision at the base of the nose. It shortens the upper lip, restoring a more youthful position, allowing more upper teeth to show when relaxed, and creating a naturally enhanced shape without adding volume. It can make a meaningful difference and is especially effective when combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like a facelift or neck lift. Patients noticing these changes are encouraged to schedule a consultation.
Source →
What can patients expect 6 months after a deep plane face and neck lift and temporal brow lift?
At 6 months post-deep plane face and neck lift and temporal brow lift, patients can expect swelling to have significantly improved, facial movement to feel natural, and the overall experience to feel effortless as the results become a natural part of their appearance.
Source →
What is Dr. Afrooz's general philosophy on cosmetic procedures?
Dr. Afrooz believes every cosmetic procedure has a specific purpose, limitations, and an appropriate patient. What works well in one situation may not be the best option in another. His goal is always to help patients understand what is likely to provide meaningful, lasting improvement and what may not.
Source →
What can patients expect in the early recovery phase (e.g., 3 weeks post-surgery)?
Three weeks post-surgery is considered early in recovery. Patients can expect swelling to still be settling, and surgical results will continue to refine over several months.
Source →
What are Hydrafacial treatments and their benefits?
Hydrafacial treatments are a preferred method for skin care at the practice, performed by @samantham_aesthetics. They deeply cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and refresh the skin, feeling relaxing and gentle. The treatments result in brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin with no downtime. They are indicated for long-term skin maintenance, preparing for special events, or simply for self-care, significantly improving overall skin quality and radiance.

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)

$712

Payments

17

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Paul N. Afrooz received $712 across 17 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 Davol 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?”
