Curriculum Vitae

At Farzaneh Cosmetic surgery, every procedure is built upon a rock-solid foundation of trust and transparency. Because Dr. Babak Farzaneh realizes that elective surgery begins from the moment of consultation to the weeks and months following the operation itself, each of his patients is treated with an extraordinary level of compassion. At the end of their initial meeting, for example, patients are given Dr. Farzaneh's personal cellular phone and instructed to call him if they have any questions—either before or after the surgery. For Dr. Farzaneh, “good enough” is never good enough, and every patient is an opportunity to raise the bar for exceptional care.

Because of his determination to provide his patients with utterly matchless service, Dr. Farzaneh was voted a Patients' Choice Award winner in 2008 and 2010. Less than 3% of the 720,000 active, practicing physicians in the nation are honored with this award. In 2010, he was also voted as one of America's Most Compassionate Doctors as a result of consumer research compiled by Mdx Medical, Inc.

The key to Dr. Farzaneh's success extends far beyond his friendly bedside manner, however. After completing a residency in general and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Maryland's Hospital and the world-renowned R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, he completed an additional two-year fellowship in facial, body and breast cosmetic surgery at the Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Texas under the directorship of Dr. Howard Tobin, the former president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. This fellowship is certified and accredited by The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

To date, Dr. Farzaneh has completed more than 20,000 procedures. These include belly button breast augmentation, endoscopic brow lifts, high definition tummy tucks, injectables, ultrasonic liposculpture, and more esoteric procedures like CO2 laser skin resurfacing. Thanks to the use of small incisions and utilization of telescopic cameras, patients are often able to benefit from minimal visible scarring and little downtime. Dr. Farzaneh personally performs all procedures, including non-invasive procedures. A patient's 15-minute Botox treatment receives the same care as a four-hour tummy tuck.

To Dr. Farzaneh, cosmetic surgery is much more than an income. Every operation is a chance to give patients a new beginning and an opportunity to surpass their expectations of what a cosmetic surgeon should offer. His measure of success is the patient's happiness.
