What’s your specialty, and how does that shape your approach to beauty and enhancement?

Within plastic surgery, my specialty is rhinoplasty. I trained at two of the world’s top rhinoplasty centers, and ever since, it’s been important to me to bring the most advanced technology and latest artistic innovations  to my practice. A great plastic surgery result is not just the product of precision — it also comes from understanding what looks natural for that patient, based on their age, skin, bone structure, and overall appearance.

What are some of the most popular procedures you perform? What trends are you seeing?

I do a lot of rhinoplasties, facelifts and breast augmentations. Rhinoplasty patients are asking for more stylized-looking results, often citing the noses they’ve seen being done in Turkey and Europe. For facelift patients, we’re doing more aggressive fat reductions along the neck and under the jaw. Some of my anatomical research is helping us locate the lymph nodes in these areas so we can preserve them, minimize swelling and optimize healing time. Breast augmentation patients are definitely asking for more fullness and cleavage.

What do you believe distinguishes a natural result from an overdone one?

A natural result can be described in one word: harmony. When patients have a good facelift with a nice jawline and neck contour, but their upper lip is very long and covers their teeth, it tells the brain “something isn’t right.” It’s not that the facelift was done poorly, but that the result seems disharmonious. That’s why I discuss doing the entire face with a lot of patients. It can be overwhelming, but those results are absolutely worth it.

The aesthetics industry in Nashville has been rapidly growing — what sets your practice and providers apart?

The aesthetics industry has exploded here. And as the market has become more saturated, we’ve remained focused on consistently providing the best outcomes for our patients. At Hatef, we have an established headquarters here in Nashville, and another one about to open. We’re also run by a board-certified plastic surgeon who works directly with aestheticians and aesthetic nurses, so we all elevate each other and work hard to get the best results in the safest manner.
