One of the most common and popular invasive cosmetic surgeries in the United States has been breast augmentation.

His Philosophy

Aging is an inevitable process resulting in unwanted wrinkles, sagging of body structures. Proper nutrition, diet, and exercising helps to maintain as much of the youthfulness as possible, though there are limitations. Aesthetic surgery can help rejuvenate an individual affected by the aging process. Dr. Javaheri's philosophy is to provide excellence in aesthetic surgery and help in guiding an individual to recapture what has been lost in time, in essence, to help you look as young as you feel.

We are living longer and our working life is extending into what used to be our retirement. It is not unusual to have several careers or jobs in our lifetime. Youthful appearance is an asset. The philosophy that Dr. Javaheri espouses is one that combines a healthy mental outlook to the natural aging process, a healthy approach to living, and the realities of modern life.

This week, I came back to Dr. Shahin Javaheri's office last week for a facelift. he said I didn't need it at this time but said I should consider non invasive treatments to hit the "pause" button on my aging. No pressure whatsoever. He had me speak to his nurse who gave me non invasive options and I started my treatments same day. I am so happy with his honesty, and his recommendations.

I've known dr Javaheri for many years and only trust him! I will never go to another plastic surgeon. I drive all the way from Santa Cruz just to see him in San Francisco. Long drive, I know but totally worth it. His team is so caring and amazing to work with and makes me feel like family. So far, I see the results just one week later. I'm so grateful.

Dr. J is the real deal. He rates consistently as a Top Surgeon in his field. He has been my surgeon for several issues. His bedside manner is un-paralleled. I have had some pretty major procedures done, under anesthesia. He is always attentive and works with you to make sure optimal goals are reached. I will be going to him for years to come. His staff are exceptional as well and always pleasant. This is two weeks Post-Op after chin augmentation, liposuction of my jawline and fat grafts to my under eyes. I am 50 years old.

Review The front desk were so professional and on top of it when I called to schedule and when I arrived for my appt. I wish I remembered the name of the nurse, but I was impressed with her knowledge and friendliness. This was my third IPL all by different providers this year. The first two times were with other providers and were pretty good, but I didn't know any better as to what kind of results could be achieved.

They were superficial and didn't touch any of my problem spots, but brightened the overall tone of my skin. However, after my treatment here my largest sun/age spots slightly scabbed over and is now gone. I had accepted that I was going to have to live with it and did not expect it to disappear. I'm happy with the overall experience and results. So not all lasers are created equal and I will definitely be coming back.

I am so grateful to Dr. Javaheri and all the wonderful ladies on his staff. They are so kind, so helpful, so thoughtful. My procedures are done efficiently and effectively. I am so happy that I was referred to their office last year. I would happily refer any one to their office. There are no greater hands to be in.

Dr Javaheri is amazing as well as his beautiful staff! Very knowledgeable and explains in detail what your service will or will not do for your specific needs. he should definitely be a professor if not already! I highly recommend Dr Javaheri and will return for any esthetic or cosmetic services!

Extremely professional, talented and kind surgeon. I was given realistic expectations and provided detailed instructions and follow up care. His staff was so kind as well. After experiencing nausea with my post-op pain medications, I called Dr. Javaheri (he provides his personal cell phone) and explained my symptoms. He went as far as driving from. his home, to meeting me in San Francisco to provide me with a new prescription.

He also wanted to assess my incisions, drains and general appearance. I felt so much better after this appointment, which made my recovery much easier. That's just one example of his level of dedication to his patients. Moreover, his office was conveniently located with ample parking. Every visit I had with him and his staff was comfortable and professional. I would highly recommend.

The staff here are great and friendly. I purchased 6 vanquish sessions on a post Covid special. I didn't make any changes to my diet/exercise routine, and both pictures were taken at the same time of day without hormonal factors influencing either photo. The results are definitely there, though not super dramatic, I do notice them in person more. I don't know if I'd do this at the full cost, but it was a fun experiment nonetheless!

I was incredibly pleased with my visit and consultation with Dr. Javaheri. What I wanted to have done was a very challenging decision for me, as body appearance is a very significant change. From the initial research to calling around for "who" is the expert in this field, I kept coming back to Dr. Javaheri. When I made the first call to discuss what I was looking for, I knew I had found the right surgeon and office.

I could tell that while on the phone the professional and personal attention I got gave me the confidence I am working with best. The front office staff took the time to go over everything and answer all my questions. I was very pleased as to how I was treated. For my consultation, I could not have been happier with the level of knowledge, care, and attention I received from Dr. Javaheri and his staff. Dr. Javaheri really took the time to explain in expert detail the process, the procedure, recovery plan, and post-op support. It was an excellent experience and I could not be happier. I Highly recommend Dr. Javaheri and his staff.

Second time to see Dr. Javaheri, this time went in for some help with deep facial lines and forehead lines. Had several rejuvenation treatments on this visit to make my lines and skin look younger and fuller. The results were great! Dr. Javaheri and staff took the time to explain the treatments, explained the after treatment at home care, and post treatment check in was fast, through, and patient showing the high level of care the Doctor and staff have for their patients. Very pleased overall and continue to recommend one of the Best Doctor's in the field.

I had a wonderful experience coming to meet Dr. Javaheri for the first time. I redeemed a botox Groupon and was a little nervous about trying a new doctor in the city but Dr. Javaheri and his staff did a fantastic job making me feel right at home! I arrived early to fill out my paperwork and was seen right on time. Dr. Javaheri was extremely thorough walking me through the treatment and appreciated his advice as I was open to suggestions.

He also clarified about another procedure I had top of mind and glad I got his second opinion. Rosh (sp?) at the front was also extremely kind and really enjoyed speaking with her. Highly suggest this office if you're evaluating!

This is my second review for Dr. Javaheri; To be brief he is just amazing! After he magically made my lifetime annoying scar to disappear I went back to him for my lips and I couldn't be any happier :)
His nice attitude is a plus to his obviously outstanding expertise. He lets me to explain what I want and he's extremely easy to talk to, the main thing is he is so open minded to what my taste is and he treats his patient according to his/her taste. I love the appearance of my lips now and I am so grateful to my friend who introduced Javaheri to me two years ago. I will continue to go to him forever.

Automatic 5 stars! Dr Shahin Javaheri and his staff are beyond great! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed by their friendly, amazing attitudes. The entire staff are very welcoming and make you feel right at home. I went to Dr Javaheri's office for his Tattoo Removal services. After only my first session, my tattoo was almost completely gone (not everyone's ink is the same.

Some tattoos may take longer to remove, some will remove rather quickly) I am already booked for another appointment and I cannot wait to go back for another session. Tattoo removal is one of many procedures that they offer. I can tell by everyone's facial expressions that come in and out of his office are very satisfied by their work, and by the staffs attitude towards customers.

Very pleasing! I most definitely would highly recommend Dr Javaheri to anyone that is looking for not only Tattoo Removals, but for all his services. The work speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed!

I have had 5 tattoo removal sessions at Dr. Javaheri's and its been a wonderful experience. The sessions are quick, and the staff are both professional and kind. I was told it would take an estimated 6-8 sessions for complete removal. As of yet, the tattoo is nearly gone, without any scarring. I am so pleased with the results! Thank you!

Dr. Javaheri is an amazing Doc. Is hard not to thank him each time for my visits. I'm very glad I chose him as my surgeon, he's always available through office and or cell phone, though I have no questions since on every visit everything goes well explained. He holds my hand and makes me feel very comforting every time and is just so amazing!!! The front desk ladies are very charming and comforting each time. Rosh, And Kay are so very nice to me and very helpful and they always ask how I'm doing.

If I have a question or forgot to ask Dr. Javaheri something, they will go and ask him right away for an answer!

Dr. Javaheri is so amazing!!! He's the perfect body sculpture and I will go again to see him

Dr. Shahin Javaheri is wonderful! He corrected an unsightly ear piercing scar on my teen daughter. She had had her ears pierced at a mall store, and unfortunately one of the piercings got infected and had to be allowed to close up. When it healed it created a long scar that she didn't want to carry through life. Dr. Javaheri said he could minimize it and he did. He was great with my daughter, keeping her calm, asking her questions about herself to keep her engaged, and explaining everything that he was doing. 5 stars!

I've been going to Dr. Javaheri's office for laser hair removal for over four years. I saw dramatic results after the first treatment and needed 5-6 treatments total. Now I go for touch ups 1-2 times a year. I have olive skin and scar very easily and rarely have other professionals taken notice and worked it into my appointments/care. Every nurse who treated me was how cautious to give thorough instructions to prevent scarring.

The entire staff is very pleasant! I'm always greeted with smiles and hellos when I come to the office and I always receive texts and a phone call reminding me of my appointment. And no matter how busy Dr. Javaheri is, he stops by to say hello.

Dr. Javaheri and his staff were there for me when I was let down by a previous surgeon. I spoke w Julie over the phone nearly hysterical and she got me an appointment w.i one hour to assist me. She helped me fill out paperwork and was nothing but kind and caring. You could tell she really cared and she stayed by my side until Dr.Javaheri was ready to see me. Dr. Javaheri was comforting, explained the procedure I went under more in depth and took a look for infections.

He agreed to take me on as a patient and help w wound complications. I'm so grateful to have met him and Julie! Julie was even kind enough to walk me to my uber to ensure I got home safely. Thank you barely expresses my gratitude!

Doctor and Staffs are very friendly! Their work is excellent. I went in for a tattoo removal and today my tattoo has disappeared with no scarring. I recommend this service to everyone.
Carla Olison
There are certain things that I look for when meeting a new physician. Dr. Javaheri and his staff exceeded my expectations by far! They are nothing short of amazing. Upon my initial appointment, I felt relaxed and welcomed. The staff is so warm and professional. I've never had to wait beyond my appointment time to see Dr.Javaheri. The office staff always answers when I call and even called the pharmacy to advocate on my behalf when they were giving me a hard time. Dr. Javaheri was very thorough in answering all of my questions before and after my procedure.

I cannot thank Dr. Javaheri and his staff enough for being so efficient in getting my procedure covered by insurance, in addition to getting my surgery performed within less than 45 days of my initial appointment. I love the new me, thank you!

I saw Dr. Javaheri after being bitten in the face by a dog - he did such a fantastic job with the stitches and all of the aftercare. Dr. Javaheri and his entire office were so wonderful and made me feel so comfortable during a difficult time. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Rita Santos
The staff was very friendly and so is the Dr. I just love them! The only thing I wish was different is the price of their Botox. Some places charge $10 per unit where they charge $15. But the service was great!

IPL nurse was knowledgeable in explaining procedure, administering a professional and thorough.. I would return for same treatment with her expertise.

These guys really are amazing. I've been visiting a few tattoo removal places in the Bay Area trying to find a good spot to get 10-15 tattoos removed and Dr Javaheri's office are by far my favorite. The feeling I got with other locations *cough* LazerAway *cough* was that they were simply trying to waste as much of my time and money as possible by dragging out treatments and forcing me to take more sessions.

This definitely does not happen here; they care about your skin, but they're also focused on getting the tattoos removed quickly. On the money side of things, these guys are really reasonably priced and were way less than some of the competitors in the area. The staff are also really awesome, super punctual, quick to respond, and, honestly, just a pleasure to be around.

Dr. Javaheri is the best. I am very happy with the procedures he has performed on me. The office staff is very nice and super professional. I would definitely recommend him.
