Radbeh Torabi, MD

American Board of Plastic Surgery Board Certified

While training at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Dr. Torabi focused on transplantation tolerance protocols and their application to vascularized composite allotransplantation, including hand and face transplantation. These research years allowed him to better establish his fundamentals of critical thinking and the progression of translational research to improve clinical problems. This time also helped to further develop his experience with finer detailed procedures, including microsurgery.

Following his research fellowship, Dr. Torabi served as a general surgery resident for the first two years of his training at MGH. This experience was crucial in the establishment of the fundamentals of care that he applies to all of his surgical patients. He then moved to the wonderful city of New Orleans, where he served as an integrated plastic surgery resident at Louisiana State University. To learn more about what Dr. Torabi and his staff can offer you, reach out to Elite Plastic Surgery and set up your consultation today.

Diverse
& Original Experience

Dr. Torabi prides himself on his ability to offer a unique brand of care to his patients, thanks in large part to his diverse and original training. His plastic surgery training provided a balanced approach to cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, and his ability to apply cosmetic principles to reconstructive procedures—as well as reconstructive principles to cosmetic procedures—helps optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction across the board. His extensive training also provided him with a strong sense of expertise in autologous breast reconstruction, as well as an in-depth degree of experience with the use of perforator-based free flaps.

Dedicated to Reliable Results

Dr. Torabi was able to build upon his commitment to continued medical progress through a series of clinical research projects involving autologous reconstruction, migraine surgery, patient satisfaction, decreasing narcotic medication, and cosmetic surgery outcomes and safety.

The summation of these experiences has resulted in the creation of a truly well-rounded practice, able to offer patients cosmetic, aesthetic, and reconstructive procedures in equal measure.

As always, Dr. Torabi’s goal is to provide precise and reliable results while emphasizing compassionate care through communication and optimization of the patient-physician relationship.
