For as long as he could remember, Edward (first name changed for privacy) struggled with his ‘love handles.’ They were always prominent, making him feel self-conscious.
In his early 20s, Edward decided to take control of the situation. He turned to Dr. Rajaie Hazboun at The Maas Clinic in San Francisco for a liposuction procedure — and he couldn’t be happier with the results.
Today, Edward feels like a brand-new person. He’s more confident than ever, whether at the beach, the gym, or just enjoying life without worrying about his appearance. He proudly takes his shirt off, something he never imagined doing before. “This procedure has truly changed my life,” said Edward. “I finally feel comfortable in my own skin!”
Edward’s reaction to his surgery is common: cosmetic procedures produce not only positive physical changes but also beneficial mental ones as well — often enabling those who may have struggled with a physical aspect of their body to finally feel a sense of relief and self-assurance, sometimes for the first time in their lives.
The Maas Clinic, founded by Dr. Corey Maas, FACS, who is renowned for his work in facial plastic and aesthetic surgery, brought Dr. Hazboun on board in September 2024. Dr. Hazboun quickly began gaining a reputation as one of San Francisco’s finest plastic surgeons performing a whole range of aesthetic procedures, including face, breast and body procedures — some of which include breast augmentations and reductions, tummy tucks, liposuction and minimally invasive treatments.
Much of that can be attributed to his excellent and comprehensive training: Dr. Hazboun initially trained in and earned board certification in general surgery before completing additional training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He also completed a year-long aesthetic surgery fellowship and two years of medical research at the Mayo Clinic and Loma Linda University. In addition, he holds an MBA from the Isenberg School of Management.
Dr. Hazboun’s patient-centered approach is one many individuals find reassuring. “When I meet with a patient, I always let him or her drive the conversation and make it known that they are in a judgment-free environment. My role isn’t to point out flaws, but to listen and to work with each person to figure out what solutions we can offer him or her to address the issues bothering them.”
Beyond his aesthetic surgical expertise, Dr. Hazboun is passionate about reconstructive surgery. His commitment to advancing surgical techniques ensures that patients receive the most effective, cutting-edge options available in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery.
Dr. Hazboun’s surgical expertise and approachable style fit right in at The Maas Clinic — and dovetail with the clinic’s distinguished reputation for setting the standard for excellence in both surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments.
