Los Angeles - Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Paul Nassif

Paul S. Nassif, M.D., F.A.C.S.

A skilled facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a distinguished background, Dr. Paul S. Nassif has received international recognition by the media, patients and peers for his innovative surgical techniques.  Known as a revision and ethnic rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Nassif is sought after by patients from around the world for help in correcting some of the most challenging complications cases.  His work specializes in obtaining natural results in both rhinoplasty and aging face surgery at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology in Beverly Hills, California.

For rhinoplasty, Dr. Nassif uses his skill as an artist and a surgeon to shape the nose to fit the face, rather than make it appear artificial.  Patients marvel at how Dr. Nassif is able to create a nose that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.  In addition to his work with revision work, Dr. Nassif also specializes in rhinoplasty for ethnic noses, ensuring tailored results that look proportional to an individual’s ethnic and racial features.

As a specialist in aging face endoscopic surgery, Dr. Nassif skillfully conceals incisions by performing minimally invasive procedures that reduce the evidence of scars.  A procedure that he developed, "The Anti-Gravity Facelift," leaves no visible scars and has been noted for achieving natural-looking results in the shortest recovery time.  To accelerate the healing process, Dr. Nassif uses platelet gel derived from a patient’s own blood cells.

Affiliated with top hospitals and medical schools in Southern California, Dr. Nassif has authored numerous peer-review articles on facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and has been called upon to give medical conference presentations and lectures about the latest surgical techniques.  He teaches residents and colleagues at the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles - schools of medicine.
