Facial Plastic Surgery Training and Experience

Training and Academic Medicine

Dr. Derakhshan completed an extensive course of medical and surgical training at several of the nation’s respected academic institutions:

Doctor of Medicine: Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine
Residency in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery: Massachusetts Eye and Ear / Harvard Medical School
Fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Johns Hopkins University
Assistant Professor: Loma Linda University

His background in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery provides a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, breathing, function, and the relationships among the structures of the face and neck. His fellowship training at Johns Hopkins further concentrated that knowledge on aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery.

Alongside his private practice, Dr. Derakhshan remains involved in surgical education and research as an assistant professor at Loma Linda University. His continued participation in academic medicine helps him remain closely connected to evolving surgical knowledge while contributing to the training of future physicians.

Meet the Surgeon

Who Is Dr. Derakhshan?

The face is central to personal identity. It communicates emotion, reflects experience, and influences how people recognize both themselves and one another. Dr. Derakhshan chose facial plastic and reconstructive surgery because he understands the significance of being trusted with something so personal.

His practice focuses on rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation—procedures that require technical accuracy as well as careful attention to proportion, expression, and the patient’s individual goals. Every treatment plan begins with a conversation rather than a predetermined solution.

During a consultation, Dr. Derakhshan takes time to understand what the patient would like to change, why it matters, and what a successful outcome would mean in that person’s life. He then evaluates the face as a whole, considering how each feature relates to the others before recommending an appropriate approach.

This individualized process helps patients make informed decisions and supports results that look harmonious rather than obvious or overdone.

Dr. Derakhshan’s Philosophy

A Result That Looks Like You, Restored

“The goal isn’t a different face. It’s your face, returned to an earlier version of itself.”

Preserving What Makes You Recognizable

Every face has its own proportions, character, and history. Dr. Derakhshan does not begin with a template for how a nose, jawline, eyelid, or face should look. Instead, he designs each procedure around the patient’s existing anatomy and the qualities that make that person recognizable.

The intended result should feel natural and cohesive—as though it could only belong to that patient.

Form and Function Belong Together

Appearance and function are closely connected in facial surgery. A nose must complement the face while supporting healthy breathing. Eyelid surgery should refresh the eye area without compromising normal closure or expression. Facial rejuvenation should restore youthful contours without creating tension or distortion.

Natural Results Over Passing Trends

Facial trends can change quickly, but surgery creates changes intended to last for years. Dr. Derakhshan therefore emphasizes enduring balance over fashionable proportions or a one-size-fits-all appearance.

A Thoughtful Consultation

Dr. Derakhshan believes patients should leave their consultation informed, confident, and clear about their options. He explains what a procedure can reasonably accomplish, what it cannot accomplish, how recovery typically progresses, and which risks should be considered.

Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

Dr. Derakhshan offers focused surgical care for the nose, face, neck, eyes, brows, lips, and ears. Procedures are tailored to the individual and may be performed alone or combined when doing so can create a more balanced result.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve its relationship with the rest of the face. Depending on the patient’s needs, surgery may address the bridge, nasal tip, nostrils, overall size, asymmetry, or structural concerns that affect breathing.

Dr. Derakhshan plans rhinoplasty around the patient’s facial proportions rather than attempting to reproduce the same nose on every person.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty addresses aesthetic or functional concerns that remain after a previous nasal operation. These cases can be more complex because scar tissue, altered anatomy, or limited structural support may affect the available surgical options.

Dr. Derakhshan evaluates the existing nasal framework, breathing function, prior changes, and the patient’s priorities before developing a revision plan.

Facelift and Neck Lift

Facelift and neck lift surgery addresses descended facial tissue, jowls, diminished jawline definition, loose neck skin, and visible neck bands.

Dr. Derakhshan generally uses a deep-plane approach so that underlying tissues can be released and repositioned rather than relying primarily on tension applied to the skin. Because the face and neck are anatomically continuous, he evaluates them together to create one harmonious result.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can address excess upper eyelid skin and puffiness or bags beneath the eyes. Treatment is customized to refresh the eye area while preserving natural expression, eyelid function, and the individual shape of the patient’s eyes.

Brow Lift

A brow lift can improve a descended or heavy brow and soften changes that contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Dr. Derakhshan considers the brow position relative to the forehead, eyelids, hairline, and overall facial proportions.

Lip Lift

A lip lift shortens the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip. In appropriately selected patients, it can increase the visible height of the upper lip, enhance its shape, and improve facial balance without adding excessive volume.

Ear Reshaping

Ear reshaping, or otoplasty, can improve prominent ears or concerns involving ear shape, proportion, or symmetry. Surgery is tailored to create a more balanced relationship between the ears, head, and face while maintaining a natural appearance.

“Thank you so much for all your help in making this very important decision. Your staff was very welcoming and so sweet. Your honesty is very refreshing and I look forward to soon scheduling my surgery!”

"I have had a few people tell me to check out other doctors with cheaper costs but am not interested at all. I am very insecure when it comes to certain parts of my body and i felt very comfortable and sure that I wanted you to do this surgery."

"I had gone too 2 diffrent locations , this place made me automatically made my mind up I had two recommendations from this place and I love the work they did on them , staff is very nice as well as the surgeon I love this place very pleased with my procedure."
