Dr. Zachary Farhood – Facial Plastic Surgeon in Portland
Dr. Zachary Farhood is a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Portland, Oregon. His practice is dedicated to cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck, with particular expertise in rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty, brow lift, lip lift, and rhinoplasty.
At The Portland Rhinoplasty Center, Dr. Farhood works closely with each patient to create a treatment plan based on their individual anatomy, concerns, and goals. His approach emphasizes natural-looking results that improve facial balance and rejuvenate the appearance without changing the features that make each patient unique.
Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Farhood is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
His specialized training in head and neck surgery, combined with advanced fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, provides him with an extensive understanding of both facial aesthetics and the complex underlying anatomy of the face and nose.
This focused background allows Dr. Farhood to provide surgical care for patients seeking cosmetic improvement as well as those with functional or reconstructive concerns.
Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures
Dr. Farhood specializes in procedures designed to improve facial balance, address signs of aging, and refine individual facial features. Treatment is customized for each patient rather than using the same surgical approach for everyone.
His primary areas of expertise include:
- Rhinoplasty
- Revision rhinoplasty
- Deep plane facelift
- Neck lift
- Upper and lower blepharoplasty
- Brow lift
- Lip lift
- Chin augmentation
- Facial rejuvenation
Rhinoplasty in Portland
Rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Farhood’s primary areas of expertise. Nose surgery can be performed to improve concerns involving the size, shape, projection, symmetry, or overall proportions of the nose. Rhinoplasty may also be used to address structural problems that interfere with nasal breathing.
Dr. Farhood evaluates the nose in relation to the entire face rather than viewing it as an isolated feature. The chin, cheeks, eyes, facial width, profile, and other features can all influence how the nose appears.
His goal is to create a natural-looking result that improves facial balance while preserving the characteristics that make each patient’s face unique.
Deep Plane Facelift and Facial Rejuvenation
For patients experiencing more advanced signs of facial aging, Dr. Farhood performs deep plane facelift surgery in Portland.
A deep plane facelift addresses deeper facial tissues rather than relying primarily on tightening the skin. The procedure may improve sagging cheeks, jowls, loss of jawline definition, and other age-related changes involving the mid and lower face.
Facelift surgery may also be combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat grafting, or other procedures when appropriate.
Dr. Farhood’s approach to facial rejuvenation focuses on restoring youthful facial contours while avoiding an excessively tight or unnatural appearance.
Neck Lift Surgery
Changes in the neck can significantly affect the appearance of the lower face and jawline. Loose skin, excess fat beneath the chin, muscle banding, and loss of jawline definition are common concerns as the face ages.
Neck lift surgery can address these changes and create a smoother transition between the face, jawline, and neck.
Depending on the patient’s anatomy and degree of facial aging, a neck lift may be performed alone or together with facelift surgery.
Blepharoplasty and Eyelid Rejuvenation
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can improve age-related changes around the eyes, including excess upper eyelid skin and bags or puffiness beneath the lower eyelids.
Because the eyes are closely related to the brows, forehead, and cheeks, Dr. Farhood evaluates the entire upper and mid-face when developing an eyelid rejuvenation plan.
Upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, or a combination of procedures may be recommended depending on the patient’s anatomy and concerns.
Education and Medical Training
Dr. Farhood began his academic career at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with high honors and earning a Bachelor of Arts in Biology.
He then attended the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where he earned his medical degree while training within the Texas Medical Center. During his final year of medical school, he was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha, the national medical honor society.
Following medical school, Dr. Farhood completed a clinical research fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina.
He then completed a five-year residency in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Saint Louis University.
After residency, Dr. Farhood pursued additional specialized training through a fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Toronto, where he trained with facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jamil Asaria.
This advanced fellowship provided extensive experience in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck.
Research and Academic Experience
In addition to his surgical training, Dr. Farhood has an extensive background in medical research and education.
He has contributed to more than 50 peer-reviewed scientific publications, presentations, and book chapters covering topics that include rhinoplasty, facial plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, facial implants, eyelid surgery, and other areas of medicine.
Dr. Farhood has also served as a Clinical Instructor in an AAFPRS-accredited facial plastic surgery fellowship, helping train physicians pursuing advanced education in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
His combination of clinical experience, research, and academic training contributes to an evidence-based approach to facial plastic surgery and patient care.
A Personalized Approach to Facial Plastic Surgery
Every patient’s face is different, and Dr. Farhood believes facial plastic surgery should reflect those differences.
During the consultation process, he evaluates facial anatomy, proportions, skin quality, aging patterns, previous procedures, and the patient’s specific concerns. Just as importantly, he takes time to understand what the patient hopes to achieve.
Rather than attempting to create a particular “look,” treatment is designed to enhance facial harmony while maintaining the patient’s individual characteristics.
Patients are also educated about their treatment options, recovery, potential risks, and realistic expectations before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
