PHILOSOPHY
Dr. Zakhireh’s philosophy and mission statement are to strive for EXCELLENCE in a SKILLFUL, ETHICAL, and COMPASSIONATE manner. His trademark is to make a significant impression upon his patients with a human touch.
Dr. Zakhireh is very passionate and inspired about his chosen profession. Being a plastic surgeon at the highest level requires both the right brain and left brain to come together, in order to solve complex issues and body dynamics. This enables him to practice not only the art but also the intense science of medicine.
Knowledge, imagination, and commitment are the greatest gifts that he can bestow onto his patients, in order to empower them with the dignity of reaching their fullest human potential. These beliefs, coupled with the fact that the doctor is both right and left-handed, give Dr. Zakhireh the unique opportunity to excel above the rest in his surgical techniques and outcomes.
A REFINED AND TASTEFUL APPROACH TO AESTHETICS WITH AN EYE FOR BEAUTY
Body contouring, Mommy Makeovers, breast work, and facelifts are Dr. Zakhireh’s passion projects. What sets him apart is that he is truly an artist with an eye for sketching, drawing, and painting. This allows him to appreciate the elegant nuances of the human body.
Whether it be the sculpt and flow of the torso highlighted by the unsung hero, the belly button, or the shoulders elegantly tapering into the hips, using the correct-sized breasts, or the timeless flowing line meandering and curving from the medial brow down the side of the nose and the gentle beauty of the Cupid’s bow, effortlessly tapering and melting onto the vermilion red border of the upper lips – Dr. Zakhireh considers human anatomy to be pure poetry in motion.
MASTERY OF FACIAL REJUVENATION
Dr. Zakhireh specifically takes pride in being known for his face and neck lifts. These are the most demanding and challenging surgeries in his portfolio. And he revels in rising to the occasion. At 25 years into his career, he can foresee the end result for his patients, and he likens this to being able to see into the future.
In his facelift technique, he concentrates on returning the foundation of the face and neck to its original position and state. And this is the reason he calls his masterpiece, the FOUNDATION lift.
He also pays attention to rejuvenating the eyes without changing their characteristic angle. Paying homage to the adage, the eyes are the windows of the soul. As in his meticulous belly button technique in tummy tucks, he also pays attention to insetting the earlobes. In doing so, the 3-dimensional anatomy of the face and neck are elegantly restored to their youthful position without looking done. Dr. Zakhireh even pays attention to doing the incision closures and hairline closures in a 3-dimensional manner, so that scars are minimalized. Even the hairstylists in the community are impressed by his craftsmanship. He is proud that many hairstylists in the community visit him for facial rejuvenation.

COMMITMENT TO ENHANCING YOUR PATIENT JOURNEY AND OUTCOME
In addition to his technical expertise, Dr. Zakhireh has vetted and assembled a committed and professional team of likeminded professionals. His belief is that 50% of the hard work is done by him during surgery and the other 50% is done in preparation and in the healing period.
His patients receive rigorous instructions on preoperative nutrition including protein, vitamins, minerals, and alcohol intake. His patients are seen the day of if a question or concern arises. In addition, there is a rich postoperative safety net including hyperbarics, lymphatic massage, Endermologie, scar treatment, physical therapy, pain management, medical tattooing, and weight loss options. There are options also for post-op nursing care, private chef services, nutrition counselling, mindful meditation, and holistic healing. This is the true reward of investing proactively within the community and maintaining constructive and respectful relationships for 20 years plus. Connecting the dots on behalf of his patients is not what he does, yet who he is.
EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION
A Texas Tech Medical School graduate, Dr. Zakhireh completed his general surgery residency at UCLA Harbor. Upon finishing a plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Utah, Dr. Zakhireh was invited to join the staff as a professor of plastic surgery. For details about his impressive credentials, see Dr. Zakhireh’s CV.
WHAT DR. ZAKHIREH FINDS MOST REWARDING ABOUT BEING A PLASTIC SURGEON
Dr. Zakhireh has enjoyed many academic honors and awards. Yet his true pride shines when his cohorts and other doctors refer their family members to him. He is also sought out by the medical reps and device reps in his industry. He is particularly proud of this accomplishment, since the reps service all offices in the region. They possess an insider’s knowledge of all regional surgeons and repeatedly, Dr. Zakhireh is the surgeon they seek out. Lastly, the ultimate compliment is when patients of 15 to 20 years return and declare that they would go nowhere else.
A NEW BEGINNING IN PALM DESERT
Before deciding to go into the field of medicine, Dr. Zakhireh was a theater major and an artist. Upon obtaining his medical degree from Texas Tech University, he went on to complete his general surgery training at the UCLA Harbor medical center.
He completed his subspecialty training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Utah. He was then honored to be invited to stay on staff as a full-time faculty member at the University of Utah, where he mentored medical students, residents, and fellows as a full-time clinical instructor.
Although he enjoyed his time in Salt Lake City, a 2004 visit to the Coachella Valley drastically altered his plans.
“I absolutely fell in love with it here, and I moved six months later!” He enthuses. “The mountains and open spaces have an exotic, calming quality to them.”
In 2005, Dr. Zakhireh made the beautiful Palm Springs area his full-time home and moved his practice to The Cosmetic Surgery Institute of Palm Desert, where he quickly established himself as one of the best amongst his peers. He joined the team at Cosmetic Surgery Institute of Palm Desert, when Dr. Craig Ball retired in December of that year.
As the medical director of The Cosmetic Surgery Institute and The Skin Lab Medical Spa, he has provided steady leadership, consistent results, and patient care to the community for 20 plus years.
“We’re the premier full-service cosmetic surgery center in the desert,” He says. “We offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions to cosmetic issues under one roof. In addition, our medical staff and administrative staff are exceptionally customer service-driven.”
LIFE BEYOND
Dr. Zakhireh lives a very rich and low-key life beyond his practice. He and his wife, Jennifer, love to bike, hike, and snowshoe in the rich ancestral Indian lands of the Coachella valley. They appreciate nature and love to be outdoors. They also appreciate the arts and culture scene of the Palm Springs area. Dr. Zakhireh and his wife also enjoy taking part in the different community charities. They believe that the ultimate success is to be able to give back by building habitats, not only for wildlife, but also for humanity. Most importantly, they cherish watching the sunrise together every day, while engaging in coffee, banter, and the arts!
