Joseph Yadegar (Doctor)
Joseph Yadegar ia an American plastic surgeon. He is known for performing multiple plastic surgery procedures which includes Facial Rejuvenation, Breast augmentation and Body contouring.

Background
At age 13, he left his native homeland to attend boarding school in England. His parents, who valued a good education, felt England was the "hotbed for education" at that time and suggested the option. Joseph Yadegar, just a wide-eyed adolescent, gladly accepted the challenge.

With an older cousin already tackling the medical world, Joseph Yadegar set his own course in motion. Some 16 years later, following intense schooling at the University of London, King's College, and Westminster Medical School, the eager Persian had not only mastered the English language, but earned a medical degree as well.

Although England was considered his second country, the doctor -- still a citizen of Iran -- had a two-year military obligation to fulfill to his native land upon returning. Because of his advanced skills in surgery, however, his country substituted active duty with the doctor's development of a most-needed surgical intensive care unit, the first of its kind, at the University of Tehran's County Hospital.

Soon afterward, he met and fell in love with his wife, Mitra. Together, they decided that a move to the United States was definitely in order. Political unrest in Iran, coupled with the advanced surgical techniques being practiced in America, and the fact that many of his siblings were already here, helped expedite their decision. Today, Dr. Joseph Yadegar, now a U.S. citizen, is a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery, as well as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and Fellow of the American Society of Cosmetic Surgery.

Since 1977, he has practiced his superior surgical techniques in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Fascinated by the anatomy, he performs a vast array of operations, including facial thread lift, breast surgery (augmentation, up lift, reduction), abdominoplasty and post-bariatric surgery (full body lift).

In addition to his private practice, in which he sees numerous patients every week, Dr. Joseph Yadegar has served as a clinical lecturer in surgery at both UCLA and Wadsworth V.A. Medical Center, and served as Clinical Chief of Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

A family man with two sons, Dr. Joseph Yadegar knows the importance of budgeting his time. Every week, he performs surgery on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with patient consultations taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This schedule allows him to spend time with his family as well as his patients -- an integral part of his life.

When asked what he can offer patients that other physicians can't, Dr. Joseph Yadegar wastes little time in answering.
