Ever since the pandemic hit us around the world, people have had to do more video chats, video work conference calls, and show themselves on-screens more than ever before, which has led to more and more people starting to be self-conscious, and thus leading to new trends in the plastic surgery world! Oh, and it doesn't hurt that stars like the Kardashians and Jennifer Lopez are plastered on covers and all across the press these days, giving motivation and ideas to people everywhere to look a certain way.
With new cosmetic surgery trends taking place now more than ever FHM turned exclusively to Hollywood's top Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Hakimi, who all the stars go to and who has been seeing these new trends like liposuction take place daily at his offices!
When did you decide and know you wanted to help impact the world and go into the medical field to become a Plastic Surgeon?
My father is a surgeon and my mother is a nurse. I developed a strong interest in medicine early on, likely fueled by early exposure. It was during my surgical rotation in medical school when I decided to pursue plastic surgery. I found it fascinating to be able to restore form and function in individuals. One day you do a facelift, the next day liposuction, another day total mommy makeover. The knowledge of anatomy required from head to toe, attention to details, finesse in surgical detail all fed well into my OCD.
You have worked with some of the biggest stars. How does it feel knowing these celebrities trust you with their looks, which are pretty much their money makers"?
It is a humbling privilege when anyone, celebrity or not, trusts you with their face or body. It is tedious work in the operating room but truly a joy to be able to make such a positive impact on someone's appearance which most often goes beyond just looks and improves their self-esteem and a lot more.
