Finding a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills is a little bit like finding a stockbroker on Wall Street¬¬. It’s not exactly difficult; the hard part is narrowing the search and then finding the best doctor for the job. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S., known to colleagues and patients simply as Dr. J,¬ has some advice.
There are many qualities patients should look for in a plastic surgeon but one that many people might not consider at first is the doctor’s ability to communicate. Studies have shown a strong correlation between patients who fully understood their procedures and had accurate expectations of the outcome with their ultimate degree of satisfaction with their procedure. Dr. J has been praised by countless patients on sites like Yelp and RealSelf not only for their results – which they are consistently delighted with – but for his friendly and approachable demeanor and bedside manner as well as the time he takes to educate patients on their procedures.
At the same time, Dr. J admits that the skills you might think about in plastic surgeons – surgical ability and medical knowledge – are most important of all, with aesthetic ability running a strong third. Dr. J says that patients need to be aware that plastic surgery is one of the most demanding of all medical disciplines and their safety as well as their appearance, are in the balance. That’s why patients must consider only board-certified plastic surgeons, which means they have met the rigorous standards of the nation’s primary plastic surgeon’s organization. As for that aesthetic x-factor, Dr. J suggests that the best way to evaluate a plastic surgeons’ ability to sculpt attractive outcomes is to simply look at their online before-and-after galleries.
Dr. J is double board-certified in both plastic surgery and general surgery and his work on the full range of plastic surgeries can be seen in his online gallery. If you like what you see, feel free to call us at the number on your screen or through our contact page.
