Approach

  • As we move through 2026, I remain dedicated to advancing my craft, embracing innovation, and delivering exceptional care to every patient who walks through our doors
  • I have my own Diagnostic skills that I use to tell you what I believe is going on and what I think we should do to fix it
  • So rhinoplasty results shouldn't just be aesthetic in reality This is a really nuanced surgery because they should also be functional and they should be measurable

Specialization

  • So I'm facial aesthetics and functional concerns small details completely change the treatment plan

Technique

  • So what we do is we draw a line down from your medial canthus and see if your nose is inside or outside of that line to help us understand in your overall facial balance whether or not you need to bring the nostrils in
  • So in my practice all my rhinoplasty patients complete a validated pre and post-operative survey So we can both objectively assess the function and the aesthetic outcome of the rhinoplasty result
  • Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh intentionally employs specific techniques to preserve skin and dermal structure and prevent issues with skin quality when performing facelifts on patients with thinner skin.

Training & credentials

  • And I've actually seen this several times where I've changed the diagnosis. I've also changed the procedure that I recommend

Consultation

  • I need to see feel and evaluate the structure for myself and not just rely on somebody else's conclusion or their diagnosis
  • Schedule a consultation and let's create a plan that's right for you

Safety

  • So making sure that you're not going to be making the nostrils too small so you have problems with breathing afterwards

Results

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh

Sourced directly from Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh's social posts and replies.

What is the typical timeline for seeing rhinoplasty results?
While initial changes are visible, results are often showcased at the 3-month mark, and full refinement can continue up to the one-year mark or beyond.
Source →
What specific concerns can rhinoplasty address?
Rhinoplasty can address concerns such as a dorsal hump, strong lower lateral cartilages, and a cleft in the nasal tip, among others, to improve nasal aesthetics.
Source →
How does Dr. Ghazizadeh evaluate rhinoplasty results?
When evaluating rhinoplasty results, Dr. Ghazizadeh focuses on details like the light reflex on the tip cartilage and the dorsal aesthetic lines to ensure a natural and balanced outcome.
Source →
Why is a consultation important for rhinoplasty?
A personalized consultation is essential for patients considering rhinoplasty to determine the best approach tailored to their individual facial features and aesthetic goals.
Source →
What pre-operative considerations are there for a lip lift?
Before a lip lift, it is crucial to know if any existing materials, such as silicone implants or migrated filler, are present in the lips, as these can affect the natural appearance of the result.
Source →
How does Dr. Ghazizadeh handle existing lip implants or fillers before a lip lift?
In cases where existing lip implants or migrated filler are present, Dr. Ghazizadeh may recommend removing them first and allowing tissues to heal. This creates a better baseline for a more controlled and natural lip lift outcome.
Source →
What is the goal of Alarplasty?
Alarplasty is primarily focused on achieving overall facial balance and harmony, rather than solely on making the nostrils smaller.
Source →
How is Alarplasty candidacy determined?
To determine candidacy for Alarplasty, Dr. Ghazizadeh measures the patient's nose against the inner corners of their eyes and evaluates their healing history, ensuring the procedure preserves breathing.
Source →
Do I need a consultation if I already have a diagnosis?
Yes, even with a prior diagnosis, a consultation is recommended. A diagnosis on paper doesn't always reflect real-life conditions, and minor details in facial aesthetics and functional concerns can significantly alter a treatment plan. Each surgeon brings a unique diagnostic perspective.
Source →
Does Dr. Ghazizadeh use celebrity noses as inspiration for rhinoplasty?
Dr. Ghazizadeh does not typically try to match celebrity noses or styles in rhinoplasty. While she is open to hearing patient inspiration, it primarily helps shape small details of the result, with the main focus on creating harmony with the patient's unique features.
Source →
Can patients with 'thin skin' undergo a facelift?
Being told one's skin is 'too thin' for a facelift does not automatically disqualify a patient. Skin thickness is only one factor, and modern facelift techniques are designed to work effectively with various skin types. A personalized evaluation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon is the best way to determine candidacy.

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)

$390

Payments

4

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh received $390 across 4 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?”
