Dr. Shervin Aminpour

Dr. Shervin Aminpour is a facial plastic surgeon with board certification in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and also in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. He holds a diplomate from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and belongs to the Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and the American Academy of Cleft Lip and Palate Surgeons. His practice centers on the face, head and neck, and he speaks regularly at local and national gatherings of fellow specialists. He trained at the University of Southern California before medical school, then earned his medical degree at the University of California, Davis, where he also completed ENT residency and a fellowship year in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Rhinoplasty is a major part of his work, spanning reconstructive, revision, functional and ethnic cases as well as fusion rhinoplasty, and he has performed hundreds of these operations, including corrections of earlier nose surgery. He also performs facelifts, neck lifts and eyelid surgery. He has performed thousands of facial procedures, and many patients come to him on referral from other physicians. He prefers a minimal-intervention approach to rhinoplasty and avoids standardized techniques. In consultations he spends time learning what a patient hopes to achieve before suggesting a plan, and he chooses the type of facelift according to the concerns the patient wants addressed. He recommends a procedure only when confident it can deliver the intended result. He has volunteered his surgical care for children with facial trauma, for patients with head and cancer conditions, and for children born with cleft lip and palate. He led a week-long trip to Ecuador, where his team performed 70 operations on children with cleft lip and palate.
