Getting surgery too soon is a mistake many people make without realizing it. In our Beverly Hills clinic, we see the difference patience makes. If you undergo a procedure before hitting your target weight, you risk needing the whole thing done again because of new loose skin. We work with patients monthly to ensure they reach their goal first. It’s about long-lasting results, not just a quick fix.

What's the biggest concern you have about the recovery process?

Imagine finding out your cosmetic filler was actually industrial tire silicone. It is a growing issue I see in my Beverly Hills practice. People are choosing unapproved substances like raw silicone, which carries massive health risks. Even with safe, FDA-approved fillers, the risk of embolization—where filler enters a blood vessel—is real. This is why professional expertise is non-negotiable.

What is the most surprising thing you have ever heard about cosmetic procedures?

06/26/2026

A patient recently developed a pressure ulcer because they refused to leave their bed for a week.

It sounds counterintuitive, but staying still after a tummy tuck is risky. At my Beverly Hills practice, we insist on movement. Walking the same day helps prevent blood clots and pneumonia by encouraging deep breaths. Following recovery guidelines is critical for your safety.

What's the biggest concern you have about recovering from a major procedure?

06/25/2026

Non-surgical treatments are often marketed as a "quick fix" for skin after weight loss, but the truth is much harsher.

Choosing the wrong procedure can lead to more than just a light wallet. At my Beverly Hills practice, I see patients who have spent thousands on CoolSculpting or radiofrequency microneedling only to end up with internal scarring and no results. If you have undergone massive weight loss, these machines simply cannot do what surgery can. You've done the hard work; don't let a "shortcut" ruin your progress.

What's the one thing you wish you'd known before your first aesthetic treatment?

06/25/2026

The difference between a safe recovery and a life-threatening complication often comes down to one word: accreditation. In my Beverly Hills practice, I’ve seen the horror stories of what happens when people operate in unaccredited spaces. Without oversight, anyone can do anything—even using dangerous materials like tire silicone. As a board-certified surgeon, I am required to report exactly where I operate to ensure patient safety. Always verify the facility before your procedure.

What’s the first question you’d ask a surgeon about where they perform their operations?

06/24/2026

A patient recently came into our Beverly Hills office with wounds that were literally falling apart after a procedure in Mexico. It is a heartbreaking situation we see too often. What started as a "budget" surgery ended in an emergency hospital stay and the need for IV antibiotics. Once the infection was cleared, we performed a complex revision to fix the giant scars and tissue tethering left behind. Quality care and board-certified expertise are essential for your safety.

Have you ever considered traveling abroad for a medical procedure?

Most people focus on the "before and after," but the real challenge is what happens months later.

In Beverly Hills, we see it often: patients who lose weight at random clinics only to see it return. Dr. Som Kohanzadeh integrates functional medicine into our practice, using peptides to aid post-op healing for sustained results. We guide you through the process to ensure long-term improvement rather than a temporary fix.

What is the hardest part about maintaining your results after a big lifestyle change?

Sagging eyelids can trick people into thinking you're tired or not paying attention, even when you feel great.

At our Beverly Hills practice, we find that an upper blepharoplasty is the number one way to fix this. It immediately opens up the eyes and makes you look more involved. Beyond surgery, a touch of filler or a brow lift can provide that final youthful touch to the face.

Have people ever told you that you look tired when you actually feel energized?

06/23/2026

This isn't just a bad idea; it's a recipe for permanent facial damage. Many trends claim to help your appearance, but breaking your own face in Beverly Hills or anywhere else won't make you look better. It creates trauma and scar tissue that can't be easily fixed. We use lasers and micro-needling for rejuvenation because they are controlled. Breaking bones is just ridiculous and dangerous.

Have you seen any of these "DIY" medical trends popping up on your social media feeds lately?

06/22/2026

It’s not just a weird internet fad—it’s a medical emergency waiting to happen. The "bone smashing" trend is more than just dangerous; it’s terrifying. People are actually intentionally causing facial fractures to try and get a wider jawline. As a Beverly Hills surgeon, I see the trauma this causes. You aren't "looksmaxxing," you're creating permanent scar tissue and irreparable damage. Parents need to be talking to their kids about this.
