Interviewing Dr. Shervin Naderi About Life, Beauty, & Plastic Surgery

I had the perfect opportunity to talk with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shervin Naderi and a great friend...about life, beauty, and of course, his specialty, plastic surgery and here is what he had to tell me...

Sarah: Tell me a little about yourself...

Shervin: I'm a 36 year old Surgeon. Born in Shiraz, Iran. Grew up in Boston. Had all of my education and training in the U.S.. My parents are both surgeons. Sister is a dentist and she is married to an Endo-dentist. Younger brother is in College at Purdue. I grew up like every other kid playing soccer and basketball until the sun went down and was forced to come into the house for dinner! I grew up loving fast cars and motorcycles and speed! But most importantly I grew up in a house where education and achievement was highly stressed and failure was not an option. I got married last year to a wonderful and beautiful young Iranian woman - Sayeh. She is doing her Anesthesia residency at Johns Hopkins University. We are trying to enjoy the newlywed period before we have any children, but with my busy practice and her residency hours that's not as easy as we may wish it to be.

Sarah: Behind every great mind, lies a source of inspiration, as a result. Tell me Shervin, what inspired you to become a plastic surgeon?

Shervin: Whether its fortunate or not the fact is I grew up around doctors my entire childhood years. That's all I saw. So I was almost programmed to go into medicine from a young age. I also loved cutting and sewing fabric. I was busy sewing lots of clothes for my younger sister's Barbie dolls when I was merely 9 years of age! Combine that with the extreme care, pride and meticulousness that I had witnessed my parents show in everything that they did and ending up in Facial Plastic Surgery was inevitable.

Sarah: Are you proud of what you have accomplished, in your life so far? Do you have any other goals, that you want to achieve?
