Plastic Surgery in Virginia / Maryland

2013-11-29

I love being a Plastic Surgeon, especially a DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland Plastic Surgeon.

Washington DC metro is one of the most exciting and culturally diverse cities in the United States. My Maryland Cosmetic Surgery patients have a special interest in subtle to moderate facial aesthetic changes to suit their private sector jobs, often times with very little time for recovery. In contrast, the Virginia patients I serve, have had a stronger desire undergo significant body and facial enhancement with less concern for down time and the work environment.

Each patient in the Virginia, Maryland or Washington, DC area requires specific aesthetic enhancement, based on their ethnic, age-related and work structure needs. I know that as a Virginia and Maryland plastic surgeon, I truly enjoy the opportunity to mix my skill set, with the very eclectic patient population who are wonderful and exciting individuals requiring customized cosmetic surgery. These are only some of the reasons that I enjoy being a plastic surgeon.

Another very important reason for being a plastic surgeon in the Virginia, Maryland and DC metro area is the ease in traveling outside of the United States to perform plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures to needy children and adults. I have performed facial and body reconstructive surgery in many areas of Africa. I have recently performed Cleft Lip and Palate surgery in Sudan. This was rewarding for me in many ways, but most importantly I was able to use my training to alleviate the suffering of children and adults who could not eat or drink well. They also lost the ability to speak because of the enunciating challenges before having a cleft lip or palate repaired. While it is altruistic to deliver care to all those in need, I feel a special sense of personal accomplishment in performing surgery for those who cannot get care anywhere.

Sincerely,
Khalique Zahir, MD., FACS.

Inauguration Mini-Facelift

2013-11-29

With the excitement brewing about the change in political environment in the Washington area, many people are looking for bringing a “change” to themselves by improving their facial aesthetics. While many men and women are preparing for which inauguration ball to attend, part of the preparation has been deciding what cosmetic improvement can be done within a reasonable budget.

Although patient safety is my most important concern as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, technique and aesthetic skill makes all the difference in Insuring an excellent outcome. For the past few years, I have employed a special anesthetic technique minimizing bruising and swelling after a face or neck lift. Using a combination of well placed anesthetic in my surgical suite, performing facial rejuvenation procedures can be done without drains or use of a general anesthetic. This allows for a quick recovery and no hang-over effect from medications.

I have been encouraging this for a few reasons. Privacy, safety and a dramatic decrease in cost have made the difference. Because this procedure is performed in my surgical office suite and my surgical technique allows for a much earlier recovery enabling a return to the social scene in a timely manner. Combining a special preoperative tissue healing regimen prior to surgery has nearly eliminated bruising and swelling.

More importantly, a reduction in cost by performing my Mini-facelift procedures in the office suite has an obvious benefit. Privacy, recovery and outcome are other excellent benefits which have allowed these procedures to become in demand, in this already challenged economic climate.

As the inauguration approaches and “change” is the new mantra, why not try a “Mini” change yourself for the upcoming year?
