Dr Saman Tahmasbi

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon in Tehran, Iran

Dr Saman Tahmasbi is a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon based in Tehran, Iran, with specialist training in both general surgery and plastic, reconstructive and burn surgery. His practice encompasses a broad range of facial and body procedures, making his profile particularly relevant to patients considering cosmetic surgery in Iran. 

He is also listed internationally by The Aesthetic Society⁠ as Saman Tahmasbi, MD. 

Education and Specialist Training

Dr Tahmasbi’s medical training progressed from a Doctor of Medicine qualification to specialist training in general surgery, followed by advanced subspecialty training in plastic, reconstructive and burn surgery. 

Published professional profiles report that he achieved a particularly strong academic performance during his surgical training. He is reported to have ranked second nationally in the General Surgery Board examination and first in the Plastic Surgery Board examination. 

He is also reported to be a member of the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons and a member of Iran’s National Elites Foundation. 

Areas of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

Dr Tahmasbi’s clinical work includes aesthetic procedures involving both the face and body. His listed areas of practice include rhinoplasty, facial lifting procedures, eyelid surgery, breast surgery and body-contouring operations. 

Facial Plastic Surgery

Facial surgery represents an important part of Dr Tahmasbi’s practice. Procedures associated with his clinical profile include:

Rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty

Facelift surgery

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)

Brow and forehead lifting

Temporal lift

Canthoplasty

Otoplasty

Facial contouring procedures

His work has also included combinations of facial procedures, such as endoscopic temporal and forehead lifting together with revision rhinoplasty or canthoplasty. 

Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the procedures prominently associated with Dr Tahmasbi’s practice. His professional profiles specifically identify aesthetic nose surgery among the procedures he performs. 

Revision rhinoplasty may be considerably more complex than primary rhinoplasty because previous surgery can alter the nasal anatomy, cartilage and scar tissue. Dr Tahmasbi’s published clinical material also includes cases involving revision rhinoplasty combined with other facial procedures. 

The appropriate surgical approach, however, depends on the individual patient’s anatomy, previous procedures, breathing function and aesthetic objectives.

Facial Rejuvenation and Lifting Procedures

Another significant area of Dr Tahmasbi’s work is facial rejuvenation surgery.

His listed procedures include facelift, brow lift, temporal lift and eyelid surgery. Published examples of his surgical work also describe endoscopic approaches to forehead, temporal and facial lifting. 

Rather than treating every area of the face independently, selected patients may be assessed for a combination of procedures designed to address different aspects of facial ageing. The final treatment plan should always be determined following a detailed examination and discussion of the patient’s expectations.

Breast and Body Contouring Surgery

Dr Tahmasbi’s practice is not limited to facial surgery. His reported areas of expertise also include body-contouring and breast procedures.

These include procedures such as abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lift and arm lift. 

Body-contouring surgery requires careful patient selection because factors such as weight stability, skin quality, previous surgery, general health and expectations can influence both the surgical plan and recovery.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

The full scope of plastic surgery extends beyond cosmetic procedures.

Dr Tahmasbi holds advanced qualifications in plastic, reconstructive and burn surgery, meaning that his specialist training encompasses the reconstructive principles underlying modern plastic surgery as well as aesthetic procedures. 

Reconstructive training is particularly relevant to aesthetic surgery because it requires detailed understanding of anatomy, tissue handling, wound healing, scar management and restoration of both form and function.

A Patient-Centred Approach to Cosmetic Surgery

A high-quality cosmetic surgery consultation should involve considerably more than selecting a procedure from photographs.

The surgeon must assess the patient’s anatomy, medical history, expectations and suitability for surgery before determining whether an operation is appropriate.

Patient accounts published on RealSelf describe consultations with Dr Tahmasbi in which treatment expectations, recovery and potential side effects were discussed. One international patient also reported travelling to Iran specifically for treatment after receiving remote consultations before the journey. These are individual patient experiences rather than evidence that a particular outcome can be expected in another patient. 

Dr Saman Tahmasbi and International Patients

Iran, and particularly Tehran, attracts international patients seeking plastic and cosmetic surgery. For someone travelling abroad for an operation, choosing a surgeon should involve more than comparing before-and-after photographs.

Patients considering treatment with Dr Tahmasbi should ideally obtain a specialist assessment before travelling. This provides an opportunity to discuss:

the most appropriate procedure and realistic expected outcome;

whether one or several procedures are advisable;

anaesthesia and hospital requirements;

expected recovery time in Iran;

possible risks and complications;

when it is safe to fly home; and

arrangements for follow-up after returning to their own country.

Previous patient reports indicate that Dr Tahmasbi has treated patients who travelled internationally to Tehran for aesthetic surgery. 

Why Consider Dr Saman Tahmasbi for Plastic Surgery in Iran?

Dr Tahmasbi’s professional background combines general surgical training with advanced plastic, reconstructive and burn surgery training. His reported first-place performance in Iran’s Plastic Surgery Board examination is also a noteworthy component of his academic profile. 

His range of work across rhinoplasty, revision surgery, facial rejuvenation, eyelid surgery, breast surgery and body contouring may be particularly useful for patients who require an individualised assessment rather than focusing on a single standardised cosmetic procedure.
