BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Babak Dadvand grew up in Philadelphia.
From a very young age, he had an understanding
of and fascination with the relationship
between the arts and sciences. Indeed,
when he went on to pursue an Ivy League
education at Penn, he double majored in
Chemistry and Fine Arts to further explore
these areas. Dr. Dadvand graduated Magna
Cum Laude from the University
of Pennsylvania and was further recognized
for his outstanding achievements as a
member of Phi
Beta Kappa.
Dr. Dadvand went on to medical school
at the University
of Pittsburgh School of Medicine where
he was drawn to the surgical specialties.
After earning his Doctorate of Medicine
(MD) there in 1999, he went on to the
prestigious Cleveland
Clinic Foundation where he completed
a full General Surgery training program.
He excelled both clinically and academically,
with multiple publications upon completion
of his training.
Dr. Dadvand passed both the written and
oral examinations to become Board Certified
by the American
Board of Surgery. He was then accepted
to the plastic surgery program at Indiana
University, a rigorous, top-tier program.
Here, he honed his skills in all facets
of plastic surgery, including cleft lip/palate,
head and neck reconstruction, and breast
reconstruction. Dr. Dadvand also utilized
his time at Indiana University to pursue
academic interests, including publications
in peer review journals.
Dr. Dadvand drew from years of training
and experience during his advanced aesthetic
fellowship with Dr. Richard Ellenbogen.
He knew that all the additional years
of training he pursued were necessary
to gain true expertise in the field of
aesthetic plastic surgery. He was honored
when Dr. Ellenbogen invited him to join
the practice here at Beverly
Hills Body at the end of his fellowship.
Dr. Dadvand enjoys all aspects of aesthetic
plastic surgery, including face, nose,
breast and body sculpting work. He uses
the latest innovations in plastic surgery
to obtain the best results for his patients
with the least possible recovery time.
PHILOSOPHY
The most important qualification
I possess is a strong understanding of
how important one's self-image is. I do
not take the responsibility of improving
it lightly. The relationship between my
patients and me begins with the consultation.
My initial goal is to put patients at
ease so they feel comfortable communicating
exactly what they hope to gain from this
process-- mentally, physically and emotionally.
I listen carefully and approach each patient
with honesty; Setting expectations is
key. I believe in a relaxed, direct approach
-- no gimmicks. The relationship I build
with my patients is based on trust, confidence,
caring, and the knowledge that this relationship
extends far beyond the operating room.
When everything has been communicated
and expectations are in place, surgery
is the next step. I am a perfectionist
who has sought extensive training in aesthetic
surgery to hone my skills and deliver
unrivaled care and results to my patients.
In addition to many years of surgical
training, I rely on my fine arts background
as well to bring an understanding of the
human form and how I unite the artistic
vision with technical execution.
--Babak Dadvand, M.D.
