About Dr. Shahin Nooreyezdan
Dr. Shahin Nooreyezdan has thirty-eight years of experience in plastic surgery. That kind of experience gives a surgeon an incredible eye for natural detail. Most patients coming to him either want to look like the best version of themselves or just want to feel normal again after surviving breast cancer.
He is a massive advocate for breast cancer survivors, practically leading the way in post-mastectomy breast reconstructions in India. He actually founded the Breast Cancer Patients Benefit Foundation to help with this. Beyond the operating room, he is a deeply committed humanitarian who started “Project Hope” to rescue and rehabilitate orphans after the Andaman Tsunami.

Patient Experience & Approach
Early discussions about breast reconstruction options like immediate vs. staged, realistic appearance/feel significantly improve the emotional experience after mastectomy. Accident victims credit facial reconstruction with restoring unexpected symmetry, while hand surgery patients regained significant grip and movement after dire predictions. Cosmetic patients appreciate honest expectation management about procedures like VASER or rhinoplasty versus social media ideals.
