Dr Zadeh Plastic surgery faq

Given the wide variety of plastic surgery procedures currently available, most patients have questions. We encourage you to ask our staff as no question is too trivial.


You may be wondering about the actual process of a specific procedure, the recovery time required, the risks involved or the realistic results you can expect to achieve.


Here are some of the most frequently asked questions by our patients:


Will my surgery be performed at your clinic?


All procedures requiring no anesthesia or only local anesthesia are performed at the Vérité Esthetic Surgery clinic. Dr. Zadeh performs all operations requiring general anesthesia in a controlled operating environment of a hospital with a dedicated team of registered nurses and certified anesthetists.

Do you guarantee positive results?



Although we will do everything possible to ensure you achieve your desired results, we can't guarantee the final outcome. This is why we take the appropriate amount of time with all of our patients before any procedure to ensure they have realistic expectations.

How painful is the process?



The level of discomfort or pain varies according to each patient's individual pain tolerance and the procedure. Many procedures that we perform are virtually painless and can be performed in a very short period of time. This means you can resume your normal activities almost immediately. For more complex surgeries, we take every precaution to minimize your level of pain/discomfort.

How long will the procedure take?



Most plastic surgery operations require approximately 2-3 hours to complete. However, some non-surgical procedures such as Botox or filler injections, laser hair removal and photorejuvenation may be completed in as little as 15 to 20 minutes!

Are there any risks involved?

How long will it take me to recover?



Your recovery period will vary depending on the actual procedure as well as each individual. For example, some of our non-surgical procedures such as laser hair removal require no recovery period, whereas more complex procedures such as breast reconstruction will require longer to heal. Dr. Zadeh will discuss the approximate recovery timeframes of the various procedures during your private consultation.
