Dr.
Elahi brings a breadth and depth of experience to his orbitofacial
plastic surgery practice. After his medical training and
residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and his fellowship
training at Mount Sinai and Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat
Infirmary, he continued his involvement with the prestigious
Mount Sinai in many capacities including teaching clinical
medicine and surgery to fellows and residents with diverse
medical specialties. As well, he has served as Director
of Eye Care Services at Mount Sinai-NYU Medical Center.
His
many years of medical, microsurgical and laser surgical
work have been grounded in both research and practical
experience. He is the researcher/author of numerous articles
and published studies including the procedural causes of
blepharoptosis as well as treatment and management of thyroid
related eye disease and eyelid and orbital tumors. His
recently coauthored "Atlas of Aesthetic Eyelid and
Periocular Surgery" is widely used internationally.
Dr. Elahi's practical experience covers a wide range
from oculofacial reconstructive surgery to complex cancer
reconstructive surgery to purely aesthetic facial plastic
surgery. His success with thousands of procedures stems
from his focus on combining safety and skill with a strong
commitment to achieving a natural and desired result for
each individual. This includes patients seen in his Manhattan
offices, patients treated as a part of his teamwork with
other Mt. Sinai specialists, as well as pro bono patients
treated in developing world countries.
It is possible that Dr. Elahi's success also has its roots
in his love of music, painting and beauty in all contexts.
He derives intense satisfaction in knowing that his patients
come to him for individual consultation and treatment and
eventually depart with increased confidence and self-esteem.
