Dr. Sam Naficy, MD, FACS

Dr. Sam Naficy is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Bellevue, Washington. He specializes in facial plastic surgery, with a particular focus on rhinoplasty, and also operates a MedSpa offering Botox, Filler, and Sculptra treatments. Dr. Naficy emphasizes that the face ages in four distinct layers—skin, fat, muscle, and bone—and most treatments only address one. In every consultation, his initial focus is on identifying which specific facial layer has changed, as this dictates the most effective treatment plan. He believes the best aesthetic results come from understanding an individual's facial needs and developing the right plan. For rhinoplasty, Dr. Naficy aims for subtle, unnoticeable results that preserve a patient's unique features, creating facial harmony rather than a complete transformation. He notes that male facelifts require distinct techniques, goals, and precision, focusing on structure and definition. Dr. Naficy also advises patients considering a facelift to lose weight first and allow it to stabilize, as weight loss after surgery can alter facial contours. He views thoughtful use of fillers and Sculptra as effective temporary measures when used for the appropriate purpose, cautioning against overfilling or poor placement.
