Beauty Within
Located on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital in the beautiful La Jolla area of San Diego, the Sadrian Cosmetic Surgery Center features a relaxed, soothing atmosphere, two state-of-the-art AAAASF-accredited surgical suites, an experienced staff—and a highly trained surgeon. Amid this professional environment, expertise and attention to patient concerns remain paramount.
Reza Sadrian, MD, speaks with a humble demeanor. Yet his understated persona belies his background and experience. Since opening his private practice in 2000, the solo practitioner has seen his practice thrive—for good reason. His fourteen years of specialized surgical training, including his fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery provided Dr. Sadrian a broad learning environment, working alongside scores of leading physician mentors nationwide. His plastic and general surgery training, combined with four additional years of study in oral maxillofacial surgery, make Dr. Sadrian “triply qualified” to perform complex facial procedures, including extensive face lifts and rhino-plasty. This background also lends him a different and creative approach to each patient. “When it comes to the face, my experience allows me to view and work three dimensionally, addressing everything, bone, soft tissue, skin. It can really make a dramatic effect in a patient’s outcome.”
Before any procedure is performed, doctor, patient coordinator and the patient speak at length, ensuring a thorough understanding of reasonable expectations and achievable outcomes. Whether he’s performing facial work, breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks or a growing number of minimally invasive procedures, each is done with high regard for the result. This, in turn, leads to positive referrals for a surgeon unlikely to boast about his own successes. “I’m just a down-to-earth, very comforting kind of guy. Patients trust me. That’s important to me.”

A TEAM-APPROACH
Most successful plastic surgery practices often have more to credit for their success than simply the surgeon’s skill and reputation. Dr. Sadrian acknowledges his staff for his success. Whether they’re greeting and coordinating care for first-time patients; performing laser hair removal, BOTOX®, RESTYLANE®, IPL™ or other noninvasive procedures; overseeing nutritional counseling for patients; or assisting in complex surgical procedures, the 12 staff members are more than employees: they’re a seasoned team of professionals. Each is familiar with the practice’s protocols, and most ATTEND CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES beyond their state-mandated requirements. Even anesthesia is administered by board-certified anesthesiologists only. “Everyone has a role on the team.<
