Question 1

What is the Ultra Clear Laser, and what are its benefits and downtime?

Accepted Answer

The Ultra Clear erbium Laser cold fiber Laser is considered the most innovative resurfacing laser, providing effective and dramatic improvement of the skin. Unlike older CO2-based lasers which were only suitable for light skin, Ultra Clear can be safely and effectively used on people of every skin color and skin type. Treatments are customized to individual requirements and desired downtime; a lighter '3-D miracle' treatment results in only a couple of days of downtime, while a more aggressive treatment may require a week or more.

Question 2

Are there anatomical limitations for plastic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, not every person has ideal anatomy for plastic surgery; some patients may even have challenging anatomy. Surgeons often have to work with less-than-ideal tissue to achieve surgical goals.

Question 3

How long do surgical results continue to change after a procedure?

Accepted Answer

The body will continue to alter the surgical work for months and years after the procedure, meaning the final result is not immediately apparent or static.

Question 4

What is Dr. Naderi's stance on before-and-after photos in plastic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Naderi strongly condemns the widespread use of fake and dishonest before-and-after photos in plastic surgery marketing. He warns patients to be aware of deceptive tactics, such as using camera lenses and angles that distort features to make 'before' images look worse, or using AI to enhance 'after' images. He views such practices as a 'bait and switch' that misrepresents real surgical work and advises patients not to fall for them. While the practice sometimes uses patient selfies for before-and-afters, over which they have limited control, Dr. Naderi emphasizes the importance of honest depiction.

Question 5

What are the risks of choosing the wrong plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the wrong plastic surgeon, especially for facial procedures, can lead to lifelong regret. Bad outcomes are not always easily fixable and can result in permanent scars, emotional distress, thousands of dollars in additional surgery, and sometimes multiple revision surgeries to correct the original result.

Question 6

How can patients distinguish genuine surgical expertise from marketing?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Naderi acknowledges that it is incredibly difficult for patients to distinguish genuine surgical expertise from effective marketing due to the prevalence of social media, paid advertising, filtered before-and-after photos, trick camera lens angles, influencers, reviews, awards, and impressive-looking websites. He aims to help patients understand what truly matters when selecting a plastic surgeon.

Question 7

What are the different types of fillers and their uses, and Dr. Naderi's perspective on filler safety and technique?

Accepted Answer

Each filler has a different consistency. Soft, pliable, almost liquid-like fillers are ideal for fine lines and lips. More robust and structured fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, and RHA4, are used for areas requiring more volume and structure. Dr. Naderi believes there is nothing inherently wrong with fillers themselves, and much of the controversy on social media is needlessly created. However, he emphasizes that there are many wrong injection techniques, and patients should be wary of improper technique rather than the fillers themselves.

Question 8

Does Dr. Naderi offer guidance on choosing a plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Naderi recognizes that choosing a plastic surgeon is a difficult, life-altering decision. He notes that patients often ask questions that are not the most important for selecting the best surgeon and aims to help them understand what truly matters. He advises patients to approach consultations with the appropriate questions to assist in their decision-making process.

Question 9

Is every nose suitable for rhinoplasty?

Accepted Answer

No, Dr. Naderi believes that not every nose should be operated on. Anatomical factors can sometimes render surgery an unsuitable option, and in certain situations, the optimal recommendation for a patient may be to forgo surgery entirely, especially if they are pursuing rhinoplasty for inappropriate reasons.

Question 10

What does Dr. Naderi say about their approach?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Shervin Naderi advocates for a natural approach to facial balancing, avoiding excessive use of fillers or fat grafting, and draws inspiration from Italian art for beauty standards. Dr. Shervin Naderi believes that anyone dealing with the face, including facial plastic surgeons, must study Italian Roman sculpture to understand surface anatomy.

Question 11

What does Dr. Naderi say about their techniques?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Shervin Naderi's practice does not use RHA-4 filler for lips. Dr. Shervin Naderi's practice sometimes utilizes piezo ultrasonic equipment and precise micro osteotomes for cutting and repositioning bone during rhinoplasty. Dr. Shervin Naderi started his career performing 70% open and 30% closed rhinoplasty, but now performs approximately 98% open and 2% closed, considering it a better approach.

Question 12

What does Dr. Naderi say about what they specialize in?

Accepted Answer
