Plastic Surgery is where Medicine becomes Art

Daniel Golshani, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a double board certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. He is one of a small number of plastic surgeons, nationally, who maintains active certification by both The American Board of Plastic Surgery, and The American Board of Surgery.

As a Fellow of The American College of Surgeons, and a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Dr. Golshani is internationally recognized by his colleagues and patients for his work in aesthetic plastic surgery of the face and body. Additionally, he is involved in advancing the field of plastic surgery through clinical research in stem cell autologous fat grafting, multi-layer single stage augmentation mastopexies, minimally invasive facial aesthetic surgery, and anti-aging facial rejuvenation. Not only does he perform excellent initial surgeries, but patients say he does the best mommy makeovers in this city, often fixing the damage that other surgeons have caused. Dr. Golshani has been awarded multiple Patient’s Choice, Compassionate Physician, and Top Doctors Awards. He has founded a multi-specialty surgical center and a multidisciplinary aesthetic clinic in Beverly Hills, California, and holds active staff privileges at Providence Saint Johns’ Medical Center in Santa Monica, California.

A leader in the field of Plastic Surgery

Dr. Golshani graduated with Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude, and Dean’s scholar from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He attended the University of California, Irvine College of Medicine as one of only two University of California Regent’s Scholars. During this time he served as the class co-President, received multiple honors, and performed basic science research on calcium ion channels and immune cellular physiology.

Dr. Golshani next completed a six year internship and residency program in General Surgery at the LA County – USC Medical Center. At this prestigious institution, Dr. Golshani took part in the care of thousands of surgical patients, performed research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and ultimately graduated as a Chief Resident, receiving the USC General Surgery Outstanding Chief Resident Teacher of the Year award in 1997.

For the next two years Dr. Golshani attended the world-renowned Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Residency Program at the University of California – San Francisco (UCSF). He found UCSF to be an ideal venue to learn the art and science of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from world-famous mentors including Dr. Stephen Mathes, Dr. Jack Owsley a pioneer in facelift surgery, Dr. Gilbert Gradinger, and Dr. Harry Buncke, the father of the field of microsurgery. Dr. Golshani completed his surgical training, after nine years of residency with a final year of fellowship training in reconstructive microsurgery, at USC Keck School of Medicine and SCOI in 2000.

Qualifications of Board Certifications, & ASPS Membership

Choosing to have cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery is an important decision. It allows a surgeon to be at the top of their field. It also allows patients to make a smart choice when they’re looking for a plastic surgeon. While positive online reviews may be compelling, you are trusting your body and safety to your surgeon so it’s essential to know that they have the education and experience to be your #1 choice.

In addition to ABPS certification, Dr. Daniel Golshani is also certified by the American Board of Surgery, and holds a Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons.

Why is it important to be Board Certified?

Not all physicians who perform plastic surgery or who use the title, “plastic surgeon” are board certified in plastic surgery. The American Board of Plastic Surgery, or ABPS, certifies physicians in plastic surgery of the face and body. To be certified by this board, a plastic surgeon must:

  • Graduate from an accredited medical school
  • Complete a minimum of five years of surgical training following medical school, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program
  • Pass comprehensive written and oral exams

Why is it important to be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or ASPS?

Surgeons, such as Dr. Golshani, who are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have the credentials you can put your trust in. They are certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and have received extensive surgical training, one of the most rigorous among specialty programs. Their training uniquely qualifies them to perform plastic surgery on the face and all parts of the body. Only members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons may display the ASPS logo. This symbol of excellence in plastic surgery is what to look for when deciding on your surgeon.

In addition to ABPS certification, Dr. Daniel Golshani is also certified by the American Board of Surgery, and holds a Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons.
