Dr. Nabavian received his medical training at the University of Maryland where he participated in basic science research and graduated with honors. He then went on to train in plastic surgery at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles after completing his residency in general surgery at the University of California in San Diego.
"I always knew that I wanted to be a surgeon. I like anatomy and I'm good with my hands. I am also fascinated by the form and structure of the human body," says Dr. Nabavian. In terms of plastic surgery, "I also appreciate that the practice is truly all encompassing. I can take care of the whole human body, from children to adults."

"My colleagues tell me that my engineering background makes me see things differently than other doctors," says Dr. Nabavian. "I think in terms of geometry and shapes. The thing that fascinated me about plastic surgery is how we study, change and shape the form of the human body. It's the geometric and three dimensional aspects that appeals to me." Because of this technical background, Dr. Nabavian has served as an independent investigator for the FDA studies of next generation filler proteins. nabavian.com/about.htm
