A Commitment to the Finest Results.

Philosophy

Recognized as one of Nashville’s top doctors by the American Institute of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Daniel A. Hatef has gained a loyal clientele base in seemingly record time. “Being named as one of the “Ten Best Plastic Surgeons” in the state after just three years in practice means so much to me,” says Dr. Hatef. “I work hard to deliver top-notch care, and to be honored like this is amazing.” Taking into account the emotional aspect of the transformations he performs, he ensures his patients are educated and prepared for the journies that lie ahead. “With my revision rhinoplasty patients having already gone through one or two procedures elsewhere, they may need a lot of hand-holding, which I’m happy to do. Patients undergoing a revision tend to have more swelling and more anxiety about that result.” It’s this specialized attention that ensures his practice continues to grow. “I credit our referral rate to a combination of happy patients with the best results,” adds the doctor.

A Minute With

WHAT ARE YOUR MOST REQUESTED PROCEDURES?

Injectables, facelifts, rhinoplasties and breast augmentations

WHY DO YOU EMPLOY A LESS-IS-MORE APPROACH?

Whenever we, as plastic surgeons, try to use injectables alone to recreate youth and “erase” lines, we risk filling too much and creating an unfavorable look. With injectables, less truly is more

WHAT SURGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

I’ve always been an advocate of the lip lift and perioral rejuvenation. There has been a huge increase in our specialty’s attention to this area. I have been a thought leader in Nashville when it comes to perioral rejuvenation, and I’m excited to see the improvement in results that come with this

CAREER-DEFINING PATIENT

My practice got an amazing jump start when I did a facelift on a former Playboy centerfold. She got a great result and told everyone in the music industry. It catapulted me to a volume of plastic surgery work that most people don’t see until they’re 15 years in. I’m blessed to have her as a patient

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR PROFESSION?

From the start of my training, I have been interested in anatomy and beauty. I led the team that discovered the fat compartments of the face, which is the anatomical research that guides what we do now with fillers. I do thousands of expertly curated injections a year

WHAT ARE YOU BEST KNOWN FOR?

Dramatic, yet natural-looking results

MY DREAM INNOVATION

Customized facial implants

WHAT UPCOMING PROCEDURE ARE YOU REALLY EXCITED ABOUT?

Breast augmentation mastopexy will go from being something plastic surgeons consistently get inconsistent results with to being an operation with beautiful, predictable results. I know this has happened in my hands, and it’s so rewarding that I am achieving these results in such a consistent fashion

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME

Obsessive, artistic, nurturing

HOW I WOULD SPEND EXTRA TIME IN A DAY

Seeing live country music shows in Nashville
